Fast Service, Tasty Food, Poor Ambiance
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The service was incredibly fast, and the food was tasty and served at reasonable prices. However, the ambiance was a significant letdown and did not meet expectations. Despite the less-than-ideal atmosphere, the quick and delicious food, coupled with efficient service, made it a worthwhile visit for those prioritizing those aspects.

Insanely Good Portions on a Budget!
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly positive. The portions were insanely good, and the food was super tasty. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a lot of something good, especially when you're on a budget.

Great food and service, but hair in food
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was great, and the service was also excellent. However, the experience was marred by finding a strand of hair in my food, which was quite off-putting. The atmosphere was rated a 4 out of 5.

Amazing Teriyaki and General Tso's!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The staff was friendly, and the portions were excellent. The food was truly amazing. I had the best teriyaki I’ve had since I was a kid, and the general chicken was also amazing. The service was rated a 5, the wait time was non-existent, and the atmosphere was a 4 with a quiet noise level, making it easy to talk.

Efficient Service, Teriyaki Focus
My experience at this restaurant involved a unique ordering system. You can pay with cash at the counter, but be prepared to see many people standing around, having already placed their orders on a kiosk and waiting for their number to be called. The menu offers limited flexibility, which I believe contributes to the very easy flow of service and makes it a good business model. There is some dine-in seating, but most customers opt for takeout. The food is primarily teriyaki-based chicken. They charge extra for spicy, so I'd recommend getting the regular and adding your own sauce for spice. I don't have pictures because I already ate.

Horrible Undercooked Food
My experience at Midori was disappointing. I was initially excited to get my order so quickly, but after walking the 10 minutes back to work to eat my lunch, I found the food was so undercooked that the chicken was rubber and the gyoza was soft and barely cooked at all. It was the worst $20 lunch in Seattle. Thanks for wasting my time and money, Midori!

Excellent Chicken Teriyaki, Basic Spot
My experience at this restaurant was centered around their excellent chicken teriyaki. It's a very basic, hole-in-the-wall establishment that primarily serves a few variations of chicken, along with eggrolls and gyoza. The service was friendly, and despite the place being very busy, the wait time was manageable.

Overpriced and Poor Service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The teriyaki was overpriced and didn't even come with a salad. To make matters worse, the service was even worse.

Burned food, unacceptable for the price
I understand it’s busy, but the food was burned. I couldn’t eat it and threw it out. This is unacceptable when you’re paying nearly $20 for a meal.

Soul-Satisfying Flavors and Welcoming Touches
I was absolutely blown away by the experience at Midori Teriyaki! I had the spicy garlic chicken, and honestly, it felt like my soul was smiling with every bite. The flavors were perfectly balanced—bold, savory, and just the right amount of heat. It wasn’t just a meal, it was a moment of pure food happiness. When I asked for chopsticks, they handed them to me with a smile—it's the little touches that make you feel seen and appreciated. If I had to describe the experience in Japanese: うま味が爆発した! 心が満たされた …By the end of the meal, all I could say was: ごちそうさまでした 🙏 Highly recommend this spot if you want food that not only fills your stomach but uplifts your spirit. 🌟
