I recently dined at Midori Sushi and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The sushi didn't taste fresh at all; there was an odd, almost sour smell to the fish, but I ignored my instincts and assumed it would be fine. I ordered several sashimi pieces along with some squid salad, and hoped the quality would match the prices.
Within a few hours of eating, I started feeling extremely sick, and soon enough, I was dealing with the unmistakable symptoms of food poisoning. It was awful. The next evening I woke up in a cold sweat and my wife rushed me to the ER thinking something seriously was wrong with me. Upon getting to the ER I was showing signs of sepsis. If you don't know what that is, look it up. After approx 8 hours in the ER and a battery of tests, the Dr's final diagnosis was indeed food poisoning. I went home slept and couldn't work for another 3 days. It was the worst bout of food poisoning ive ever had. I’m beyond disappointed and very concerned about the food safety at this place.
I went to the owner after all of this to let him know and to see if he could reimburse me for the meal and the hospital bills. He recognized me, remembered my meal then told me to talk to his insurance, who denied the claim even with a Dr's diagnosis!!!
There are plenty of great sushi options in the area. I would suggest dining at one of those great places. Do not risk your life and well-being going to Midori Sushi.
I’m hesitant to ever try sushi again after this experience, and I would strongly advise anyone thinking of dining here to reconsider. Food poisoning is not something to take lightly, and no restaurant should be this careless...
Read moreI gave this 4 stars because although this is one of my favorite places and I come often enough that they know my phone in order by heart, the wait staff does tend to be slow. I will also state the wait staff has gotten tremendously better over the years I've been coming. They have a sushi bar, full menu, and serve buffet during the lunch hours they're open. I like the food and quality of ingredients, I like the way the way the sushi is prepared. The buffet sushi does have a few corners cut to make the food quicker to turn out but the taste doesn't really suffer. A real treat is to try the house special called a #3. Sushi prepped and cooked in an oven. They will serve you two pieces along with the miso soup when you sit down. I started ordering ahead for pickup as a way to circumvent a long period of waiting for food and then waiting for the check. But honestly, this is one of those places you come and expect to stay awhile. Order food and sit around talking and drinking sake until they kick you out. I do advise to avoid going during the Nelson golf tournament if you're a local. That is one of their busiest weeks or two. Friday and Saturday night, plan to be there awhile I'd the place is packed. Best to get there around opening as you're very likely to get in and out quicker. Good place to just...
Read moreI really REALLY like this restaurant a lot! I was driving one day and saw the the restaurant name MIDORI SUSHI mixed in among the other names in the shopping plaza. and never realized there was a sushi restaurant there. I decided to look up their reviews and saw so many people talking about how affordable it was and that it was delicious. So my daughter and I made a trip. It's been about 2 weeks since we originally saw that sign with their name and we've been back 3 times. I will admit I have to agree with one of the reviews I saw where it said the roll was a little sloppy. We did have some sushi rolls that fell apart and had rice all over the place, but even then they were still tasty. We did have a little bit of a negative experience because we ordered some tempura rolls and they were overcooked to the point that there were burnt pieces and the rice was hard to bite. However, I called to tell them about that experience and they were very quick to make it right. The only reason I took away a star is because of that one experience, but because of the professionalism and their willingness to make it right, I will continue to eat here and I definitely recommend you give them a try. I have to echo what everyone else has said. You can come here and get a delicious meal and not...
