I went here with my friends and the service and food was splendid. We each got something different such as one friend had ramen, the other hibachi, and i had sushi. Everything was so good and i can’t wait to make another trip back!

Was looking for a Thai place and Google confidently misdirected me, but I'm soooo not mad about that after eating here. It is a sushi & hibachi restaurant but has a few other options, including Indonesian dishes. I don't know if the staff has ever heard "If you don't like to smile, don't open a shop", but they live it. Honestly the best service I've had in town outside of specific world-famous fine dining. I ate on the covered front patio so I can't talk about the dining room.

The cuisine here is absolutely incredible. They are very accommodating with your orders and requests, and everything is extremely fresh and delicious. I recommend Midori to anyone looking for an affordable great eating spot. This place is so good that I’m debating going everyday. Their fried rice smells amazing and the sushi rolls are quite literally some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff is exceptional and kind. Easy 10/10 for Midori on Carrollton. Thank you to everyone who works here.

We had a great time at Midori. Our server was very kind and helpful. The sushi was pretty good. A little heavy on the snow crab. It has a cozy atmosphere as well.

Excellent spot. We live nearby and love coming here because they have such variety on the menu. The service is good and always friendly, and it’s priced fairly. Some of our favorites are the yellowtail appetizer, tonkatsu ramen, their hibachi fried rice of course, cheesecake tempura dessert is crazy delicious, and their sushi is much improved as of late I find
