If your TikTok \u201cFor You\u201d page is currently a parade of strangers flying to Tokyo for sushi, here\u2019s the good news: you can stop doom-scrolling. Miami\u2019s most celebrated casual sushi spot, Midorie (the reigning Best Sushi winner of 2025 by New Times<\/a>), has just announced it\u2019s expanding to Fort Lauderdale for its very first Broward County location.<\/p>\n Beloved for its minimalist aesthetic, Tokyo-sourced seafood, and quietly obsessive attention to detail, Midorie has built a cult following with locations in Coconut Grove and MiMo along 79th Street. The restaurant feels refreshingly unfussy, yet deeply intentional. In Coconut Grove, it\u2019s known for its mint-green walls, a compact sushi counter, a sunny courtyard vibe, and a menu that lets pristine fish do all the talking.<\/p>\n What Makes Midorie So Special<\/p>\n Midorie\u2019s seafood is flown in regularly from Tokyo\u2019s Toyosu Fish Market, showing up in handrolls, nigiri, sashimi, cut rolls, and donburi bowls that somehow feel both comforting and elevated. <\/p>\n If you\u2019re a first-timer, the \u201cMidorie Bowl\u201d is the move: salmon, tuna, blue crab, shiitake mushrooms, cucumber, edamame, yuzu avocado, scallions, seaweed salad, and your choice of base and sauce. It\u2019s no surprise New Times crowned Midorie Best Sushi last year; the quality is undeniable, and the experience is effortlessly cool. <\/p>\n The maki, determinedly classic and unfancy, are constructed with great care. Look for daily specials, cooked-fish creations, and, for dessert, a handful of mochi ice cream flavors, including matcha green tea and salted caramel. <\/p>\n What to Expect at Midorie Fort Lauderdale<\/p>\n Now, that experience is heading north. Midorie Fort Lauderdale is slated to open in June 2026 at 640 NW 7th Ave., inside the Arcadian, a new mixed-use development in the historic Sistrunk District. The upcoming location will seat about 50 guests, including an eight-seat sushi counter, a 34-seat dining room, and an intimate private space called the Sakura Room. The menu will mirror Miami\u2019s hits, including its popular $100 omakase, served all at once, ideal for power lunches, celebratory dinners, or an imposing takeout order.<\/p>\n The expansion comes from APM Restaurant Group and acclaimed restaurateur \u00c1lvaro Perez Miranda<\/a>, whose portfolio also includes Hiyakawa <\/a>and Michelin-starred Ogawa<\/a>. At its core, Midorie is built around kikubari, the Japanese philosophy of caring for others, and that thoughtful hospitality has clearly struck a chord.<\/p>\n For Broward diners, this is a big deal. Midorie is quietly becoming a South Florida staple, and honestly, we love to see it.<\/p>\n![\"Sushi](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/midorie.webp.jpeg\")
