About this business

Midori, Aria, and I have adhered to a natural, vegetarian-inspired diet for many years. We do eat fish, but it ends there. The original idea for our "tea shop-turned-restaurant" was to create an extension of our own home and lifestyle. In other words, we are serving you what we would serve ourselves. Although prohibited by availability and price in some cases, we serve as many organic fruits and vegetables as are reasonably available. Also, when we use certain "prepared" foods we try to obtain them with little or no additive... read more

Midori's Floating World Cafe is hit and miss A good Japanese restaurant and sushi bar in this rapidly gentrifying area. Midori's is very laid-back, which is great, but the service can be very, very slow when it gets crowded. Stick with take out during peak times. Otherwise, it's a dependable choice for good sushi and other Japanese standards.

Friendly staff, good sushi, and a nice clean atmosphere – I am not an avid fan of sushi, but I have been enjoying trying the many variations of sushi offered in this small, cosy restaurant. The presentations are beautiful and I personally really enjoy the mushroom broth and rich, luscious teas that are offered. I have never had a bad experience there and I enjoy watching the preparer create the intricate and delicate presentations. I have not been there at a really busy time, but can imagine that it would be a somewhat longe... read more

Pay the babysitter extra... – Get ready for a long wait, and if you got a babysitter for the evening, be prepared to pay for a couple extra hours. The food is decent, but takes forever! We put in an order for a couple sushi rolls (the cafe was almost empty at this point) it took over 45 minutes for them to arrive. We ordered a mojito from their drink menu (great drink by the way) and it took 40 minutes for them to bring it.. All in all, if you have some serious time to kill and want some decent food, but aren't terribly hung... read more

LONG wait, for so-so food. – The food is ok, but everytime the wait after ordering food is between 45-60 minutes. If you don't mind waiting order their interesting tea, and edamame and be sure to be prepared to wait...Not a good place to go if you're hungry. Like the previous poster, I would recommend Origami or Kikugawa for sushi. Tanpopo is good for hot noodle soups.

Terrible customer service – We have eaten at Midori's a number of times in the past, and have enjoyed the food. The customer service has always been lacking, but this last time was deplorable! We arrived at 5:30 for dinner. There were 2 empty tables which we were told were reserved, and that the wait would be 45 minutes. We walked around the neighborhood, and returned about 40 minutes later to find that the tables were still unoccupied. Another group was leaving their table, and a reserved sign was put on that one as well. W... read more

This is a charming place It's like getting sushi from your Japanese grandma. It's still clean and sleek and nice with the Japanese decor, but I love the Mom and Pop feel.

Great local sushi place – Living within a few blocks of Floating World, I started going to it as a relative newcomer to the delights of sushi. I have become hooked on both the food and this restaurant. True, I miss the sushi chef they used to have, but Midori does a great job preparing the fish, and it is always fresh and tasty. I like to sit at the bar and watch her work. They always have specials, but I usually go with some kind of combination dinner--chef's choice. I haven't been disappointed. Yes, the service can at time... read more
