My first time ever to Grand Bend and they have a Sushi bar! Woo-hoo! Be mindful that it's not AYCE, and the prices are on the higher side, but the entire experience and meal was wonderful nonetheless. Today, we were over at my boyfriend's sister's trailer in Pinehurst and decided we wanted to do a day trip to Grand Bend, since I have never been (shocking, I know!) and she had recommended this sushi bar, because it's the only one in Grand Bend and the menu looked good. It sits along the strip in a beautiful sized restaurant with indoor, outdoor and patio seating. We opted to go inside because we needed to get the sun off our backs for a bit as it had been a super hot and sunny day. It was around lunchtime, so we seated ourselves and right away was greeted by our waiter who handed us menus and got us some cold water. As previously mentioned, this isn't an All You Can Eat Sushi Bar, and this is the ONLY sushi bar in Grand Bend, so the prices for the rolls, appetizers, salads, etc, are a bit on the expensive side. I had my heart set on anything salmon, it's my favourite, so I ordered the salmon sashimi, philly roll, salmon roll and a seaweed salad. All our meals had promptly came out very quickly and the presentation was beautiful. The philly roll was smoked salmon and the actual salmon roll and salmon sashimi was fresh salmon. It tasted fresh, not fishy at all, and delicious. My boyfriend ordered the jalapeno popper wontons, seaweed salad, and an avocado roll, all of which were delicious. All in all, the food was delicious, the service was fast and friendly, the prices were more on the expensive side, being that Grand Bend is more of a touristy kind of beach town that attracts a lot of people. I would recommend this restaurant and I would come back here myself if I ever venture back to Grand Bend. read more

Do not go to Midori if you have a foreign accent--you might be accused of stealing. As a strong believer in supporting local businesses, I have ordered takeout from Midori regularly, a few times a month, for years. I've never dined in, even after they moved to their new location, and the owners have never seen me since I don't personally pick up the orders. However, I was accused--without any proof--of stealing a toy or item from them. The owners claimed they had served me and insisted it was me based solely on my accent and name. No explanation or argument over the phone changed their mind. I was told that unless there is another person in Grand Bend with the same name and a strong accent, it had to be me. Full stop. So, to all you wonderful contributors to our local economy who happen to have an accent--beware! read more

We really enjoyed our food at Midori! The portions were large, and the ingredients tasted fresh. I particularly loved the smashed and deep fried egg roll that brought some unexpected Chinese take-out flavors to the table, and the salad, which had an expertly balanced sesame dressing. Two stars removed for the surprisingly bad live entertainment. During our recent Monday evening visit, we were seated outside on the beautiful patio, and spent our meal listening to a troubled & whiney young man, let the audience know throughout his set, how drunk he had been the night before, how hung over he was currently, and how excited he was to get drunk again as he performed. Really an off-putting experience that will have us calling ahead to confirm if there is live music happening next time we hope to visit! read more

Midori - BC roll, over the rainbow - Sushi Bars Near Me - Grand Bend, Ontario

One of the best places in Grand Bend, however, is not inexpensive. I understand it is a tourist region, however while it is on the expensive side, at least the food & service is good. Only place in GB where you can get sushi, & it is good. read more

In Grand Bend to reconnect with an old friend and he was raving about Midori so headed here for lunch. It sits on the Main Street with plenty of foot traffic. They have a nice large patio and I can understand why it is often quite busy. The staff were friendly and attentive and no issues with the service. Residing in Vancouver, we have so many sushi establishments so I will refrain from any comparisons. I ordered the kamikaze roll and a tuna roll. The taste was okay and the presentation was quite good. Pleasantly surprised to find this little gem in Grand Bend and happy to recommend Midori. read more

Ordered takeout tonight from Midori and was very disappointed. The other photos and reviews looked super promising so we were excited. Got the spicy salmon crunch roll for $13 and it was underwhelming to say the least. It was tiny, not filling, bland (and over priced!). See photo. read more

Midori - Spicy salmon crunch roll for $13. Overpriced and sad looking - Sushi Bars Near Me - Grand Bend, Ontario

Fantastic sushi I just wish I could get in there more often it's always packed and closes early and no reservations for groups under 6. :(

Ordered some sushi and veggie fried rice. The rice was extremely wet, not really like any fried rice I've ever had before. The avocado Maki was good but the eel roll was probably made from frozen eel, it was very cold and unappetizing. We asked the server if the dynamite roll had real crab meat or if it was crab stick. She said it was real crab. Unfortunately, it turned out to be crab stick... Finally the tempura was just fried food. It was not fluffy and crispy like tempura should be. We did see another table order burgers which looked good, though. Service was great, though. read more

Quick service with cute view of the street. Comfy cushioned seating with covering. I loved it here. No pushy waitress. A time capsule of chill and foodie delights read more

Midori - Sushi Bars Near Me - Grand Bend, Ontario

This is my first visit to its new location , and I must say I was anxious to try it. This is the nicest looking most inviting restaurant on the strip , location location location! So be prepared to pay a premium for the charming surroundings. The service is excellent , severs very attentive and the food comes out hot, fast and fresh. Tried the spring rolls , ( very tiny ) the tempura shrimp and their signature Kamikaze roll. Very tasty and super hot ( I love hot food , who doesn't ?) couple minor criticisms , they only provide one sauce for dipping appetizers , which is a spicy hot chilli Thai , I could buy that a Costco .... The tempura should have included a milder offering but that's the other disappointment , tempura should be traditionally breaded in Panko crumbs. This was clearly another version of some this doughy bread coating. Tasted okay but not what one would expect. But definitely give it a try, I may be back again as well. See you there ! read more

Finally a sushi place in Grand Bend. We went here not only because we LOVE sushi, but because we'd become friends with the chef recently and wanted to pay him a visit. We sat at the sushi bar and were enthralled with the preparation. The menu has some unique items that I still crave today. There were a green curry roll and a sashimi shot that really stood out to me. The sashimi shot was a small tea cup with some horseradish, other sauce and salmon/tuna sashimi wrapped together. You literally take it like a shot, and man its delicious. We also had sake-bomb.. gotta say it was pretty good. Overall, a really unique menu, with a talented chef. If you're in SW Ontario and going to the beach in Grand Bend, its a MUST MUST MUST go. read more

Surprisingly delicious sushi in a divey beach town! Not traditional sushi where you can order individual pieces. Not much raw fish. But the rolls are really tasty! Dynamite roll was great, eel and crab roll was nice as was a veggie roll we tried. Spring roll were nothing special but the egg roll was worth the $4 price tag- a beautiful tasty bite! Don't waste your money on martinis-2 oz of room temp booze. Yuck. Beautiful space and knowledgeable friendly wait staff! read more

Great spot in Grand Bend on the main strip! Even better than their former location on the south side of the street. I mostly order the bento box & sub the California roll for the Cali crunch and am never dissappointed. Very busy in the summer & would strongly recommend reservations or you would would most likely not get a table. Sometimes the service is slow when the place is really busy, but the staff are very friendly. The food is consistently great. Have recently tried wonton nachos and are also really tasty! I would say of all the restaurants on the main drag in Grand Bend, this one is the best! read more

Some genuinely novel sushi creations at Midori. There will be flavour combinations here that you will never experience at any other conventional sushi places. Try the sashimi shots. read more

The food is excellent! We really enjoyed our lunch. The bento box was a great portion and reasonable price. They had toys and a child seat available. The house wine was $21 a bottle and the seaweed salad is wonderful! read more

The new location for Midori is fantastic. We had a great dinner sitting outside, good weather, great food and excellent service from Melissa. She took very good care of us - checked on us often but not too often - just right, you could tell she really cared. If she is an owner it shows, if she isn't an owner, she acts like one. We tried a variety of things - sangria, jalapeno wontons, turkey lettuce wraps and of course some sushi. Everything was really good. I love Grand Bend, this place just adds to an already great atmosphere! read more

Midori - Kamikaze Sushi Roll is to die for. Melts in your mouth! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Grand Bend, Ontario

Great food and service. Good size portions. Very fresh. Great value for the prize. The decor is very nice.

Been here on at least 5 occasions. Figured a one-off is not a good way to tell if a restaurant is on point, or not. To be fair, I always like to give people a chance or two to see if it was just a bad night, or whatever. So........on the plus side, the sushi is delicious. Also great is the edamame, which is unique because it has this awesome sauce that is a bit garlicky, which we loved. On the down side, the service is VERY slow, the drink pours are totally skimpy, and the wait times to be seated can be agonizing. Too bad....if they poured a better drink, and moved a little faster, it would be a 5-star kinda place. But I hesitate to go back for these reasons. read more

I think they were understaffed, our rolls took 40 minutes to prepare... there was also a fish scale in my food. sushi was mediocre, would not come back solely for how long it took to prepare read more

Excellent Food. But busy during the summer afternoons... call ahead.

We ate at the old location last year and enjoyed it but the new location is definitely better. 2 adults and 2 kids, we split 3 api's and 4 rolls and we're all full. The food was excellent - my son ordered the California crunch roll (a deep fried Cali roll) and I didn't expect to enjoy it as I'm a bit bored with Cali rolls, but my husband and I both thought it was the best thing on our platter! We also had a red dragon roll, a surf and turf roll, and a smith special. All were delish - kids liked all of them too. Recommendations: make a reservation in high season! Second recommendation: get the lemongrass crème brûlée for desert!!! It is absolutely to die for!!! read more

Excellent food but service is glacially slow. I may die of hunger before my food arrives. Was it worth the wait? I think so.

Absolutely amazing sushi, very reasonable prices, and great service! The restaurant is beautiful and has an amazing patio for the summertime! Definitely my favourite spot in Grand Bend! read more

The food is so little . And the sushi is not even a sushi I have to say . Got different size . The noodle taste so bad . People don't waste money read more

Had the bento box today- delicious! And a better option for keeping the cost down. I would recommend the egg roll, so good!

All people in my dinner party did not like it. We felt it was overpriced and the quality was poor. The sauces that they use taste like they're right out of the bottle, nothing homemade about it. We didn't have the sushi. Maybe the sushi is the reason for the rating? I would definitely recommend you avoid the noodle dishes. My broccoli tasted like it was simply just boiled in water so I put a few drops of the table soysauce on it and then it tasted moldy. read more

The owner travels To Asia for ideas and inspiration and creates amazing food ideas and flavors. Mindoro is a much needed, refreshing addition to Grand Bend gastronomy. Service is good and fast enough. If you want fast food go to Tom Hortons. read more

I'm sorry, but I have to wholeheartedly disagree with everyone here who thought the food was amazing but agree with them that service was very lacking. Atmosphere is wonderful if you can get a spot on the patio (call ahead to reserve). From the 12 yr old hostess (who was adorable but), who made me feel nervous for her, as she tried to stumble out the specials of the day (still have no idea what they were but she was lovely). To the waitress who seemed so genuinely confused when we asked normal questions like (do the unagi rolls come with cucumber or avocado? Btw, they come with neither but you can upgrade for a fee)....to can I have eel sauce on my shrimp tempura roll?). We received such looks of confusion. Imagine asking for ketchup for your fries at McDonald's and being looked at like you're nuts?! I get it's Grand Bend and not Toronto or New York, but the staff should have some idea about what they are serving. Finally, the appetizer of shrimp tempura arrived and it was actually done in a batter similar to English fish and chips and not Japanese tempura and the sauce was a Sweet and Spicy Thai sauce.....not at all like the regular Japanese tempura sauce. But, in fairness , although not what I expected it was tasty and the highlight of an otherwise disappointing evening. My daughter's miso soup was REALLY salty and no tofu. The seaweed salad was especially rubbery. The shrimp tempura roll was okay, but again, the batter was unusual and no avocado, cucumber, or anything else in the roll. The unagi rolls were strange with tentacle looking pieces sticking out (I know eels don't have tentacles, but it was a turn off and we probably have sushi at least once a week). I don't need to envision my food alive before consuming it. I ordered the black dragon roll with the addition of avocado on it. I have probably had this roll in 30+ restaurants....this was a 5 out of 10. I am not trying to be mean, but if you are at all accustomed to half decent sushi, this place will disappoint severely. If you are looking for a lovely patio to have a glass of wine and share a "safe" appetizer, then this is for you. The service was very poor......the hostess was so nervous and untrained, the waitress had no idea about the product she was serving. All of our dishes came out at least 5 minutes apart.....not able to get the waitress's attention for more drinks and finally gave up, asked for the bill and left thirsty. Very unsatisfying experience!! read more

Fun atmosphere on the patio and delicious. So great to have quality sushi in The Bend!
