Friendly staff, decent food

Great food, bit pricey for the quality

There are many Japanese restaurants around the area so for “good” Japanese the benchmark is pretty high.

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

Outstanding out-of-the-way surprise

The breezy and considered setting and the excellent service draw you into a Japanese vegan heaven. Every dish was amazing and there’s lots of gluten free options too.

Divine!

If you love Japanese food this place is amazing!! So yummy. We ordered sushi and gyozas. Great for sharing. Huge serves and we were really full. The flavours are perfect and taste of Japan. Really nice traditional green tea as well. It is definitely my favourite!

Beautiful food

We had the miso soup and 2 don dishes. Fresh salad and tastes all around. The catsu and teriyaki tofu were delicious. Great service as well.

My favourite restaurant in Australia

The wait staff are so lovely and helpful. The waitress tonight even got a treat for our dog, they really do go above and beyond.

The decor of the restaurant is comfortable, clean and has a wonderful traditional Japanese feel.

The food is fresh, delicious and each dish has layers of flavours. The meal prices are good and the drinks prices are cheap.

Looking forward to returning to try more dishes.

Best Japanese food

Omg wow, Ive been here a couple times before but the last time I went I got food to share with my family and it was the best. Getting a bunch of different dishes and sharing them is the way to go.

Pros: Sushi is the best Ive had, The kaarage chicken is delish, Good variety of dishes

Cons: A little pricey

Awesome vegan take on Japanese classics.

Loved the varied menu, rich flavours and exceptional service. Very reasonable prices. A bit away from the main tourist areas but definitely worth making the effort for such a great dining experience.

Favourite restaurant on Gold Coast

I love many things about this restaurant. It has a huge place in my heart. Very friendly staff, owners are the kindest humans I know, food is INCREDIBLE!! My favourite meals are the Midori Ramen & a side of the Avo ‘Chicken Nigiri and the party platters are to dieee for 🤤 but you can’t go wrong with any of the meals.

This place is amazing. Food was sooo good and creative. We were stumped by how they created some of these dishes especially the sushi. Plenty of options. Do not miss this place!!

Delicious food just the order of dishes arriving was a bit strange

We order an entree to share and a main each. It is a small restaurant and the tables are all outside under a canopy type thing which is nice. My main arrived first, the gyozholic. It was really tasty and I liked the sauce that came with it. I started to eat but once our other dishes weren’t arriving I paused. After a while the creamy corn croquettes came out. They were really nice, I liked the texture. After a while my partner’s curry arrived. He really enjoyed it. 5 stars for the food, just lowered a bit by the spacing of our dishes.
Staff were lovely.

Incredible food & staff

Such an amazing restaurant. Some of the best vegan food we’ve had. The flavours of each dish are so well blended and delightful. We had some hand rolls, kimchi, gyoza, charred eggplant and ramen and were blown away but how good everything was. The staff are so delightful and friendly as well. Do not miss this place - it’s a gem!

Pros: Incredible flavours, Delightful staff, Nice outdoor setting with lots of ventilation

Amazing food

After a bit of a slow start (took ten minutes to get menus after being seated), our food came and we were in heaven. The sushi was amazing and so were the mains we ordered (katsu don and katsu curry). We didn't have to wait too long for our sushi to come and after, our mains.

The two waitresses were so busy and apologised to us for the slow start.

I would definitely recommend this place for all vegan Japanese food!

My Special Place

I would just like to say that Izakaya Midori is my favourite place to eat at on the planet. I have been visiting for years now and even though it is a 75 minute drive each way to get there from where I live, I can assure you that it is well worth the trip. From day one, all of the staff have been amazingly friendly to myself and everyone that I have taken to share the experience with. I believe that every customer is treated as if they are family and given the highest quality food during their dining experience. I will always be thankful that a place like Izakaya Midori exists and that I can enjoy their wonderful food regularly.

Pros: Amazing Staff, Incredible food, Lovely setting

Such a great place

Cute restuarant with the nicest staff. Meals came out fast and fresh - tasty as well. Portion sizes are great and atmosphere was perfect. I have another dinner booked for a couple days, that's how amazing it is. Felt like I was in a little restuarant in the heart of Shinjuku. 5/5

Pros: Friendly staff, affordable, delish, cozy

Unrivalled, best on the GC...

I'm not kidding! Izakaya Midori is the most amazing, unique vegan restaurant you'll find on the Gold Coast.

Every time I return here I'm totally blown away by the presentation of their meals, the flavours & the staff attentiveness toward customer service.

It's too hard to recommend a meal, so just go with your gut. Although, if I had to pick favourites I would say I am a big fan of their Gyoza, their ever-changing 'future of sushi' options, their Agedashi Tofu entrees and of course how could you possibly go past the Nasu Miso Eggplant!

The pricing is very reasonable for the quality and service provided, which is the main reason we return time and time again.

Booking is a must on the weekends!

Pros: Many options, all of which are Vegan, and friendly, attentive staff.

Cons: On Friday & Saturday nights, be prepared to wait a little while to be served, it gets very busy!

Fantastic! Perfect! Thankyou!!!

Hands down best vegan sushi I have EVER had. We also ordered the katsu and karaage Japanese curry for dinner and returned for lunch the next day and ordered the katsu don and karaage don, and again, more sushi.
The chikiavo nigiri special was nothing short of perfect. My husband and I could have eaten that all day everyday.
Very sad to be returning to Sydney and no longer eat here, can't wait to return!

Pros: Best vegan Japanese , Friwndly and welcoming staff, Fast service

Super yummy Japanese plant based food!

Our table had a variety of dishes from the lunch menu and everyone was truly satisfied with their meals (even the meat eaters were commenting on how wonderful their meal was!). Also had the matcha mousse cake and its super yummy! So happy to find vegan agedashi tofu here. There is a family meal deal for takeaways which is really good value. The staff are very friendly too!

Pros: All vegan/plant based menu, Reasonably priced

Cons: Worthwhile booking just incase (limited seating)
