Book NowAbout Izakaya Midori
Reedy Creek houses an entirely plant-based Japanese izakaya where rich broth, crisp tempura, and artful sushi convince even committed carnivores. The kitchen dials in classic comfort with zero animal products—drawing noodle devotees straight to the Midori Ramen for its savory, deep-simmered broth. On the table, crisp plant-based karaage, sweet corn inari, and smoked edamame share space with katsu rolls and tempura tofu. Diners take in the minimalist calm indoors or grab a seat out on the covered verandah, met with a resounding Japanese welcome and pours of plum wine on the rocks through to matcha-dusted sweets.
- 100% Plant-Based Izakaya: A completely meat-free menu turning out plant-based takes on ramen, sashimi, sushi platters, and karaage.
- Signature Midori Ramen: A savory, deeply balanced vegetarian broth that ranks as a go-to favorite for noodle seekers across the coast.
- Crispy Karaage: Evenly crisp bites with seasoning and texture that routinely win over non-vegan diners.

Why Dine at Izakaya Midori
Discover why Izakaya Midori delivers an authentic, comforting izakaya experience entirely plant-based.
100% Plant-Based Japanese Classics
Traditional Japanese ramen, sushi, and izakaya sides are crafted using entirely 100% plant-based recipes without sacrificing authentic depth.
Lastly but definitely not least, the fact that it is 100% plant based is so powerful to stand against animal cruelty, and showcases the fact that you don’t need to abuse animals to enjoy a 10/10 meal.
