    We don’t normally eat downtown a lot because of how expensive it tends to be, but we were short on time, needed something relatively quick and not overly-filling, and spotted this place. For fun, we thought it would be a good idea to share a couple of rolls and a pot of tea, so we went in. It was quiet, we were really the only people in there but it was early afternoon so the lunch rush was over. That worked for us, sometimes we like it quiet.We ordered Gyoza, the Crab Salad roll, the Alaska roll, and the Fire Cracker roll for sharing. The tea was light, flavourful and very hot. The funny thing was the cups kept trying to walk across the table from the little bit of moisture on the bottom breaking the friction between cup and table surface, so they would glide a little. Brief amusement while we waited for our food.The gyoza were delicious. They were very fresh, delicious and the sauce had some sort of a sweet vinegar hit to it that was amazing. The crab salad rolls were fresh crab, love the crispy tempura bits throughout, and the hint of spiciness was perfect. The Alaska roll is one I normally shy away from but in this case the fish was fresh and delicious, had a really nice smokiness, and the avocado was just right. My favourite was the Fire Cracker roll, not as spicy as I would have imagined from the ingredients listed but it was a different kind of spice from the crab salad rolls. The Fire Cracker ones were crunchy and delicious with an awesome heat to them.Honestly I’d eat all of those again any time! Next time we’re in the area I wouldn’t mind trying a few of their other rolls as well.

    Sushi is very tasty here, gyoza are perfectly crisp and tender on the inside. Very small place so it’s great for pick up or causal dinner. Service is always really nice.

    I’m giving it 3.0 stars because it’s not the most enchanting venue, but the sushi was very yum. A nicer selection of wines and beverages would be great. Ultimately a casual or take-out joint kind of place. I came here on a date and I don’t think it was particularly conducive to romance 😛

    Food poisoning, hard. It was myself and my boyfriend, and I did not drink any alcohol. Unless you like hugging toilets, don’t go. It seemed legit and the host was kind, but I don’t know…it was the only time we had raw fish that day and we both got sick around the same time, so you tell me internet.

    The service is slow but the food is amazing and their staff are extremely nice! I’ve tried several of their sushi rolls and have been extremely happy with every single one!

    Pretty decent place for quick sushi.The service is a little slow, but the servers are really nice.The sashimi is quite fresh and I have never been unsatisfied by any of their rolls. If I am ever downtown and craving sushi, I always go to Midori. They also have a patio area which is nice when the sun is out, there are not very many Japanese restaurants that have a patio.Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for decent sushi!

    Pretty good sushi. Staff are very friendly and always get my order correct when I order pickup. The only thing is I wish they were open on Tuesdays 🙁
