Now that I am firmly established in my perch overlooking 17th Ave SW, I find myself hankering for a little sushi lunch action every once in a while. Being that there are a couple of options close by, I have made Midori the spot where I bring colleagues as I believe it has better value and quicker service as compared to its counterparts.
Pros:
If you order the bento box (sushi - about $15, chicken or beef teriyaki - about $13) you are going to leave full. Add a roll to this and forget about any productivity for the afternoon. Fast lunch service but arrive early if you want a seat. Excellent "junk food" sushi, you know, the kind with tempura, bits of other fried goodness and such.
Cons:
A bit pricey, very small dining room. No waiting area for take away customers means guests waiting are learing while they wait. Special rolls are quite expensive, especially when compared to the amounts of food received in the Bento.
I kind of wish they did a lite version of their Bento subtracting a few items and bringing it in under $10 bucks. That being said, if you need a sushi fix in an intimate environment, then this is a place for you.
