“Excellent Japanese store for snacks and food alike. Came here after dinner to pick up a few snacks, and their food selection was humongous. They have snacks, drinks, desserts, fresh sushi, cooking items, and more! I got 3 snacks for a little over $5 and they were all great. Would love to come back to try some of their sushi!“

“Alright, listen. This is the second time I have eaten here and the food was, exactly as before, phenomenal!!! Thus far I have had the kimchi ramen and the spicy pork chashu ramen and each time these bowls of exceptional broth and noodles and toppings have brought me closer to the divine. I love this place. I love the food. This food isn't gimmicky, it is honest and wonderful and comforting. I may not know much about ramen or authenticity or what have you- but I know good noodles and broth when I taste it. And this? Exceptional. Eat here.

Vegetarian options: Veggie miso ramen“

“Midori Japanese Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The ambiance is cozy yet stylish, perfect for a relaxed dining experience.

We started with the miso soup and gyoza, both of which were perfectly seasoned and delicious. The sushi was the real highlight — so fresh and beautifully presented. I highly recommend trying their specialty rolls; the Midori Roll was a flavor explosion!

The portion sizes are generous, and the quality of the ingredients is top-notch. For anyone looking for an authentic and reasonably priced Japanese meal, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
Recommendation:
Naruto roll
Midori chips
Torched King Salmon roll
