Delicious, all-vegan Japanese food - Edit
The food here was amazing! So many options, and all vegan! I was here for lunch but will have to come back to try the dinner menu! I had the katsu don which was incredible, especially the broth at the bottom 🤤 and the matcha mousse cake was so unique and interesting!

Izakaya Midori is hands down the best vegan Japanese restaurant I’ve been to so far. When I return to Gold Coast, I would definitely come back here!! Portions, presentation and flavours was chef’s kiss. The staff were so lovely. I’m glad my first ever vegan okonomiyaki was oishii 😋. Japanese curry rice was perfect and the matcha mousse cake was a hit.

High quality ramen🙏🌱 - Edit
I’ve ordered Midori ramen, omg it was so delicious!!❤️
Read moreI’ve had lots of vegan ramen in Japan, most of times vegan ramen is too light and doesn’t have strong flavor but Midori ramen was a real ramen!🍜 ✨
I’d love to try it again 😊

So good, can speak highly enough of this place - Edit
Everything we ordered was delicious and attention to detail was appreciated. I recommend you order a few dishes and share to try lots of different dishes. Make a booking on weekends, it gets busy

Best restaurant on the gold coast - Edit
I took my girlfriend to this place as a surprise, but I was the surprised one- by sheer quality of this place. I should say I'm not vegan or even vegetarian, but this place blew my socks off. From the deeply delicious and surprising flavour profiles, the outstanding service, the genuine imported Japanese liquors, even down to their choice of bowls & plates. This little hidden gem is hands down my new favourite restaurant. My vegan girlfriend is just as keen on it.

LOVE this cute little Japanese restaurant. It’s so hard to find authentic Japanese food that is vegan on the Gold Coast. I’ve been a huge fan of Midori for years and this will always be my fave place for a good kastu don 🤤

So yummy - Edit
I've never eaten Japanese before due to the lack of vegan options. This was amazing. We had the biscoff desert and a chicken don of some sort. Will be back

Amazing, one of the best restaurants on the Gold Coast! - Edit
My partner and I have tried most of the menu in our few visits to the Gold Coast, we are never disappointed, everything is so delicious! I especially love the vegan version of yakitori, better than any actual chicken I've eaten in my life!

So delicious, will definitely come again when on the GC - Edit
While we initially waited a while to be given a table, they made a spot for us outside, which we were informed wasn't available. Such delish food !! We had the desserts, which were also divine. We had 2 mains (pictured) and also okonomiyaki for entree along with 2 plum wines and two desserts for $120.

Amazing Japanese food - Edit
Fresh! Very creative dishes that I haven't really had before! I liked the Katsu and Karaage. The gyozaholic was a bit overrated. The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome!

Delicious Japanese food - Edit
The food at Izakaya Midori has always been good and since it changed hands with a couple of new menu items and improved service has us coming back a couple of times a month. Have taken non vegan family who wouldn’t consider vegan food and their minds and taste buds were blown right open, very impressed. With a bar, tasty food and a bit of ambience it’s a definite restaurant to take friends and family.
