Midori — Restaurant in Jakarta

Our fam have been a customer here since more than 8years ago or more, since it open first time. From it was good at the beginning then become somehow down quality (it was above SxxTxx now its below ya) and recently i came it got better a bit. They changed the dining set more japanese look. This visit, food Taste has been improved than last 4years (was awful-if not my mom’s fave place). I wrote this review for the resto keep focus of food quality. The sashimi although taste ok, the cut is not Japanese’s sashimi standard. Taste bud is more to sweet, really not Japanese. I feel that Midori from it was till now has been evolutionized more adapt to local taste. Japindo i say 😅 or they serve Japanese cooking, not cuisine. Dont expect authentic taste here. After you massaged next door then get your lunch/ meal here, thats a convenient. I hope when i come again next time it wont be lesser...

First of all , Not authentic Japanese. I don't think any of chef been or work experience in Authentic Japanese restaurant or had Japanese food in Japan.

Poor presentation, wrong way to handling Zaru soba , should put soba on the drainage plate and Not serve with miced Ginger and raw egg(small bird egg) for dipping sauce. (Where this idea from.???) In Japan, Only egg York for Skiyaki or shabu shabu dipping sauce not whole egg. Not for Zaru soba...

Shabu shabu Suace serve with " raw garlic??".... Japanese barley use raw garlic for any sauces. Or very minimal garlic in Japanese food. Korean use lots of raw garlic.

M Block area has many authentic Japanese restaurant, Midori chefs should go there and experience real...

Midori is becoming my favorite Japanese restaurant since many years ago. Good taste with good ambience. But the situation is a bit changing today. I visit the restaurant with my wife and our daughters. It’s start with good food as usual, until I heard a little scream from my wife. She bite something hard from her unagi set. After checked, she found that she bite a “kwaci” nutshell. This peanut is mostly open by breaking it’s shell using the teeth of the one who wanna eat it. So you can imagine the hygiene of the shells that end up in my wife’s dish.

We suddenly lost the appetite in continuing our meal. The manager that we called after the incident unable to give a clear explanation regarding the matter.

We will reconsider again in visiting this...
