    Once again the food was delicious.It is so great to have a vegan restaurant of this quality.The service was unfortunately slow / tables weren’t cleared and the place was hot.Plastic blinds were left closed.I noticed the prices have been increased so it’s now rather expensive.

    The food here is incredible, completely vegan Japanese menu. We had the Okonomiyaki and the Terichiki Don and Karaage Don, all so delicious! My only issue was that it took a while for a staff member to take our order, but the service was friendly. Wish it was closer to my home but worth the journey. Will absolutely be back.

    Great experience for whom likes the intimate Japanese pub. Food was excellent given the fact that it was vegan, and the service was fast and courteous. They even serve Japanese beer and sparkling sake!

    It was beyond my expectations. We landed up ordering a bunch of small plates instead of mains and this way we got to try out a heap of options. When the salmon dish came out, I almost thought it was real salmon and had to glimpse over the menu to see if I was in a vegan/vegetarian restaurant. It was mind-blowing! The servers were super sweet, ensured we enjoyed the experience of dining with them and gave us a few details on certain ingredients as well. Nestled in a quiet neighbourhood, it was just the perfect spot to be in on a rainy evening. Will definitely go back many times more in the future.

    Three of us had a lunch here after visiting Springbrook National Park. We were greeted well on arrival as if we mattered to them and were given great service . The order was taken efficiently, drinks arrived soon after and were cool and extremely tasty. Food arrived at a great rate and was extremely tasty and we could see the chef had put it together with great care. Its a pity we live so far away from Izakaya Midori as we would frequent it more often. 9/10!!!

    Left immediately after finding out that even after booking, no table was reserved for us, We where then seated at a table that was basically in a walkway on a section of floor so unstable it seemed like a our glasses of water would be thrown from the table. Especially galling after fighting through 2 traffic incidents and a ton of roadworks to get there. Rude and inconsiderate of people's time.

    We absolutely loved our Japanese plantbased experience at Izakaya Midori. The staff were friendly and helpful, we were able to bring our 2 very spoilt toy poodles and the ambience was relaxed and casual. The mixed deluxe sushi was full of flavour. We love the umani tastes especially the miso soup and the Mochi dessert was a puffy sweet ball filled with black sesame.

    We were surprised and delighted by the level of professional and personal service we experienced. Our waiter was nothing short of a supper star, charming, articulate and well able to make sure our experience was WAY above average. Hat's Off!! Great Job Midori :-)
