It's a little place called Midori on 96th Avenue. They are never open when I drive by 'cause they close at like 2 pm or something like that and they are not open on weekends. I swore that before I move from Langley, I'll go to that restaurant. Well two weeks ago, I went there with my wife and two of my kids. All I can say is, I never thought Japanese food can be that butchered. I mean, I've been to all kinds of so called Japanese restaurants run by people other than Japanese and most of them are OK. This one was by far, the worst one I've ever been to. I thought Grand Buffet sushi was blech, but this place took the cake. It was all you can eat, so I was prepared for bad. When you prepare for bad and you get worse, it's tragic. I don't think any of you would find this place if you wanted to, but if you ever come across it, keep driving. One good thing is, I did not get food poisoning. The people there were OK and seemed very decent, but holy wasabi, the food was sub par. 2/10 rating.

Lesson I learned long ago, but forgot that day: No go to Asian restaurant where no Asian customer is in sight.

what ethnicity was the chef? hopefully at least the staff was asian or you should have expected the worst and not just bad. i'd do a 180 if the sushi chef was white
