Best restaurant on the gold coast - Edit
I took my girlfriend to this place as a surprise, but I was the surprised one- by sheer quality of this place. I should say I'm not vegan or even vegetarian, but this place blew my socks off. From the deeply delicious and surprising flavour profiles, the outstanding service, the genuine imported Japanese liquors, even down to their choice of bowls & plates. This little hidden gem is hands down my new favourite restaurant. My vegan girlfriend is just as keen on it.

LOVE this cute little Japanese restaurant. It’s so hard to find authentic Japanese food that is vegan on the Gold Coast. I’ve been a huge fan of Midori for years and this will always be my fave place for a good kastu don 🤤
Read morePros: Kastu don , Spicy miso ramen

So yummy - Edit
I've never eaten Japanese before due to the lack of vegan options. This was amazing. We had the biscoff desert and a chicken don of some sort. Will be back

Amazing, one of the best restaurants on the Gold Coast! - Edit
My partner and I have tried most of the menu in our few visits to the Gold Coast, we are never disappointed, everything is so delicious! I especially love the vegan version of yakitori, better than any actual chicken I've eaten in my life!

So delicious, will definitely come again when on the GC - Edit
While we initially waited a while to be given a table, they made a spot for us outside, which we were informed wasn't available. Such delish food !! We had the desserts, which were also divine. We had 2 mains (pictured) and also okonomiyaki for entree along with 2 plum wines and two desserts for $120.
Read morePros: Friendly service, Insanely delicious food, Nice vibe
Cons: Had to wait a couple of mins to be seated

Amazing Japanese food - Edit
Fresh! Very creative dishes that I haven't really had before! I liked the Katsu and Karaage. The gyozaholic was a bit overrated. The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome!

Delicious Japanese food - Edit
The food at Izakaya Midori has always been good and since it changed hands with a couple of new menu items and improved service has us coming back a couple of times a month. Have taken non vegan family who wouldn’t consider vegan food and their minds and taste buds were blown right open, very impressed. With a bar, tasty food and a bit of ambience it’s a definite restaurant to take friends and family.

The hunger - Edit
Wonderful food- it was delicious. But we did wait longer than an hour for our mains. They were doing a lot of uber eats and takeaway, and it didn't seem like any food was making it to the floor.
Read moreI would come back, but not at a busy time. The wait was a bit much.

Great food, bit pricey for the quality

They do well in providing an authentic vegan Japanese experience, the staff are super friendly
