The first time I went to Midori , the food was absolutely fantastic. My company were also both very happy with their dishes. I ordered chicken katsu,and the portion was very large,it was a very large piece of chicken,it contained plenty of sauce and it was served with a generous helping of daikon.The servicewas also impeccable.
I decided to come back for my birthday meal as I had such a great experience at my previous visit ,and ordered the same dish.
However ,it was like setting foot in an entirely different restaurant.The plate the dish was served on was literally half the size,the piece of chicken was tiny,there was literally no sauce,there was no daikon, but instead a small spoonful of tinned sweetcorn,one cocktail tomato and a tiny amount of shredded cabbage !. We spotted that it was a different chef preparing the food,and my company pointed out to me that the chef was picking his nose as he was preparing the food,then after he finished,he continued to prepare the food without washing his hands. Not exactly something you want to see when you are eating a meal just prepared by the same chef.
After this very disappointing visit, we shall not be returning to Midori again.Not unless we know that the more experienced chef who prepared the meals on our first visit will be in charge of the kitchen. The owners of Midori need to ensure that all of their chefs prepare the meals to the same high standards,but this time,the food served was beyond poor and left a truly bad taste in our mouths.
