Sushi Midori is famous for its affordable Japanese sushi and sashimi amongst both locals and tourists. They enjoy great popularity and have many outlets spread out all over Tokyo. The queue system was pretty straightforward and involves pressing for a queue ticket from a ticket machine near the entrance- you have the option of counter/table seating. We reached around 8+pm for a late dinner one day hoping that we will be able to miss the dinner crowd. And boy, were we wrong, and we ended up cooling our heels for over an hour in the freezing Tokyo winter. Complimentary hot green tea was provided outside, but beware that they do run out of cups for late stragglers.
After the long wait, we finally got a table and we settled on the 1800 yen set (approx. S$20) which consisted of a generous assortment of sushi. This set also comes with complimentary chawanmushi-which was really really good and silky, miso soup and green tea.
The sashimi was thickly sliced and premium cuts such as uni, fatty salmon belly, unagi was also included in the set. However, the sashimi on the sushi was average as compared to the others I have tried in Tokyo and disappointingly, the rice was not packed tightly enough and some breaks apart when I hold it with my chopsticks.
The set meals are so generous, which probably accounts for the long snaking queues each day. If you are on a hunt for good Japanese food in Tokyo on a budget, this is definitely the place you should come. The food is not out of the world but still pretty satisfying.
Overall, I would rate it 3/5.
