Midori in Hamden - Korean and Japanese

Chicken Ramen Soup

Midori Restaurant is located in Hamden on Whitney Avenue, next door to Everyday Gourmet and Mikro. Though, it's small in size, don't let that fool you, it has a big menu of delicious Japanese and Korean food.

The couple who own the restaurant are so sweet, friendly, and are always smiling. As soon as you walk in you feel at ease and comfortable.

I have been there several times for lunch and dinner and I have ordered quite a bit of different items from the menu.

For appetizers I recommend either the Chicken Gang Jung or the Bimbim Mandoo. The best way I can describe Chicken Gang Jung are like little spicy chicken nuggets and they are delicious. The Bimbim Mandoo are dumplings with fried pork that have a spicy kick. Want something not spicy? I recommend their handmade spring rolls (they are not fried) and filled of veggies.

For entrees I have ordered the Midori Udon soup. This is not like any typical soup at a restaurant, this can feed a small army and I naturally I ate it all and was full the entire day. It was so delicious. It has udon noodles and an array of vegetables like bok choy and ginger. I had a terrible cold one day and stopped by to pick this up to go and it was exactly what I needed.

My partner got the Beef Bolgogi, as shown in the below photos, which is marinated steak with onions. Bolgogi is one of my favorite entrees to get, you must try it, you won't regret the tender and marinated meat. All entrees come with either salad or miso soup.

My go to is the Chicken Ramen soup, which is one of their specialties and it is delicious.

They have great sushi and lunch specials. If you haven't tried it, please stop by, it's a hidden gem in Hamden.
