    You're right in the middle Of the tech sector of downtown. At least 50,000 employees of Amazon, Google, Meta, all are in walking distance to Midori. All these highly paid engineers probably don't even look at their receipts. So, that's likely why so expensive. Also the convention centers are just right there, so they see a ton of foot traffic from events.

    The garlic spicy chicken is my favorite from Midori, maybe not worth traveling for, but if you’re in the area around lunch time it’s not a bad option.

  • @ghostgirl6970
    @ghostgirl6970 8 месяцев назад +6

    I used to live on a house "boat" (technically, these are house barges, with no locomotion of their own) and it's a lot of fun. But it takes a special kind of fortitude to live on one in the winter in NY lol.

    • @johmhill7312
      @johmhill7312 8 месяцев назад

      On Seattle's Lake Union, there are both houseboats and floating homes, separated for the most part in their own communities. Floating homes, like the one used in Sleepless in Seattle, are much different than the houseboats, they are basically single family homes, hooked up to Seattle city utilities, and very difficult to move.

    • @ghostgirl6970
      @ghostgirl6970 8 месяцев назад

      @@johmhill7312 Yes. I lived in a floating home, aka a house barge - no self locomotion, 2br 1 ba and 2 full stories. Kenji's looks to me to be too big to be a houseboat (which would have a motor and generally a lot less living area, and no traditional roof) but I could be wrong. Or perhaps it's different coastally, but in general, barge = large, floating home, no motor, with hookups, and boat means you can move it around.

    Great location. Also a short Seattle flat, ride to a lot of great neighborhoods and food options. I used to live close to Midori and ate there quite often, but the best items were not the teriyaki. I would just usually just get the special.

    Please try Yasuko’s Teriyaki on 15th and Dravus Street, a tiny hole
    in the wall on the Queen Anne side between QA and Magnolia!! The chicken is great, but the boneless pork even better! As for “fatty pork” so it’s juicy and not dry. What I really like is they don’t do that newer thing where teriyaki joints flattened down (pound?) the chicken!
    Also try the curry chicken, if they still have it post-Covid (it was made only on certain days, and would run out)- it’s a whole half chicken simmered in a delish mild curry sauce over rice, slipping off the bones!
    Yasuko’s used to be a small chain in Seattle, there was one on Pill Hill next to Swedish Hospital, Fremont, and West Seattle, I believe. I think they were all slightly related, but I think this might be the last one! It’s very old school, about 4 things on the menu, and combos with vinegared “salad”. Be sure to eat with sriracha sauce!!

    Hey Kenji, you should start bringing a reusable bag to avoid using those thin single use ones. I'm not sure about Seattle's recycling or if these bags are recyclable at all, but they look like the ones NY/NJ banned a while ago. Cheers!

    Long ago, Seattle lived in harmony. Then, everything changed when the yelp reviewers attacked. Only Kenji Lopez-Alt, master of all things teriyaki, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A month has passed and the youtube algorithm and I discovered the new Kenji, a teriyaki eater named Kenji Lopez-Main, and although his eating skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Kenji Lopez-Main can save the Seattle.
