A less formal Japanese restaurant with many vegetarian options. Vegetarian items are clearly marked. You can get soups with vegetarian broth. The menu contains some fun items that you won't find at other Twin Cities Japanese places. Nice tea selection too. Please note: Midori's is closed for lunch on Sunday.

My son and I had eaten here a few times before, but we've become regulars since finding Midori's all-vegan menu (available upon request). Rather than searching through the main menu and asking follow up questions, it's all available on two pages, with lunch and dinner specials. I was delighted to discover the vegan tempura vegetables, which can be ordered as an entree, or with soba or udon noodles. Presentation and service are always top notch as well.
I've only been there once, but what I got was really good... the udon kitsune soup. Its so nice to be able to order soups with vegetarian broth. Other items on the menu looked very temping, I can't wait to try them!
We have never been disappointed at Midori's. The best value is over lunch when most entrees are $7-10 which include salad, soup, and entree. The Bento box is a really good introduction to Japanese. They have some of the most extensive tea selection of any restaurant. Also it's kid friendly - they will bring out a cup of rice to kids while waiting for the food. They really understand vegan and are happy to explain or adjust ingredients.
