Hibachi guy was friendly, fun and entertaining. However, wait staff was absolutely terrible. A bunch of young girls with attitudes for no reason. They clearly do not want to be working there. Get new jobs, because customer service is key!!!! You are better off going to a more upscale place like Takumi in Bayshore. We were a party of 10 and unhappy with the whole experience. Do not recommend!

Still not over this night...
Celebrated my 61st birthday just now, at Midori Sushi & Steakhouse and it was honestly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm, welcoming and just special.
The sushi? Next level fresh. Every bite melted--beautifully crafted, perfectly balanced and clearly made with care. You can taste the quality...but what truly made the night? The little touches that didn't feel little at all... a Chefs' Special seafood martini sent over (absolutely divine, fresh, light, and elegant) and the sweetest surprise--a birthday cake slice brought out just for me.
It wasn't just dinner--it felt like they were celebrating with me.
Service was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing and the entire team made me and my party feel genuinely appreciated.
If you're looking for a place that delivers incredible food and makes you feel special, this is it.
Midori, you made my 61st one to remember... forever grateful.

We’ve been a customer for several years unfortunately, the food and the quality of the establishment has deteriorated
We will not be returning
Greasy menu greasy tables, greasy salt and pepper shakers tasteless food. No more hot towels no warmed up paper towels
Service was quick efficient and so was the speedy delivery of the check

Was disappointed with the amount of Salmon they put on the Philly Roll. More cream cheese less fish. Tuna Avacado roll was good, but there is other restaurants in the area that have much bigger pieces for the same price. It is not like how it used to be. Maybe they had someone new on. Or maybe they are just trying to cut back. Either way , not sure if I would go back.
My Boyfriend and I visited the bar for some drinks and small bites. Everything was fantastic! The food came out super fast and the drinks were strong (in the best way). Our bartender was the newer young blonde and she was an absolute delight. So sweet! Made our time very enjoyable and definitely will be back ! I recommend the rock shrimp as an app !
Went with a friend to get some rolls! We got the bill and it was 85 bucks. While we were talking, I accidentally put 5 bucks in as a tip (I normally tip 20% but totally miscounted). Server comes up and asks if we had an issue with the service. We said no, then she asked why we left a 5 dollar tip. I added enough for the 20% and we left.
I love Midori a lot and go there often , but after this I don’t plan on being back ever. I worked in food service for years, but I would never bother someone with asking about their tip, even if it was a mess up. It was completely unprofessional and embarrassing. It means little to them, but they lose two customers today.
We live local, have been here many times over the years. But, this place has taken a turn.
Midori in Mount Sinai
Tldr- been here bunch of times, bad experience, owner runs away, tappenyaki chef did nothing, nobody cared.
Tonight we went to Midori in Mount Sinai to celebrate my wife's birthday.
Tuesday, at 545pm. Party of five
We've been here many times over the years, and have had mostly good experiences (enough to come back)
But tonight was definitely the night to throw up the middle finger.
We get seated promptly by and older gentleman. (Later come to find out hes the owner) There is another party of 3 waiting at our table, then the chef comes out
The usual sake thing is abbreviated, and never returns. The children sake never comes out.
There is no energy, the chef cracks the eggs on the flat top, and moves on.
No throwing food in our mouths, nothing.
Guy says "excuse me, hello" every time he serves us something, we were already holding the plates out to him happily, and thanked him
Then, the power goes out at our station. The guy has to cook in the dark.
I literally hold my cell phone light so the guy could cook.
We get our meals, the filet that was supposed to be medium rare, is dry and obviously over cooked.
Then, he cleans the grill, Shoves a less than cleverly disguised tip bucket with balloons at our faces. Then leaves.
No birthday stuff, no throwing food, no sake.
The other chef is doing the whole thing, people are whooping and clapping, as you do when you are have a good time.
So my wife says something to the waitress.
Then, the owner comes to me and says "its busy, you know"
It's Tuesday night, and there are 4 tables. But our guy, now goes into the back room and does the performance of a lifetime for them, balloon hats for all the adults, sake squirting abounds, laughs, clapping- all of it.
I decided then that I would ask for the good chef name to request at another time, but what happens next straight rockets this place into never again territory.
The wait staff is looking from the kitchen, the waitress comes over and presents us with the check. No comp, nothing offered
My wife, pissed mentioned that her food wasn't even eaten. The waitress wants it so she can prove to her boss that there were issues. The owner who came out and half-assed explained there were issues, now wants proof there was an issue.
It ends with 1 compd meal on the check. The food- lack luster
The entertainment (the reason you go to these places) non existent.
Im honestly disappointed that we were treated like this, and whatever you're thinking- it didnt happen. We didn't do anything that pisses restaurants off. No screaming kids, no demands, no complaints until it sucked. And nobody gave a shit.
If you made it to the end, avoid this place.
Worst experience. Hibachi chef did absolutely nothing. No throwing the food, no sake, no games, no show. Was CLEARLY rushing. Then the power goes out halfway through. We’re using a flashlight so this guy can cook. Then he threw a tip jar in our face and left. Owner came over and said “he’s busy” It was a Tuesday night. Owner KNEW there was an issue and did NOTHING. He knew we were pissed and didn’t give any Fs. Never again.
