A Taste of Tokyo in Fort Lauderdale
Midorie has established a reputation for its dedication to quality, with fish flown in daily from Tokyo’s prestigious Toyosu fish market. This commitment ensures an authentic and exceptional sushi experience for its patrons. The upcoming Fort Lauderdale location will be the first in Broward County, complementing existing Midorie restaurants in Miami’s Upper East Side and Coconut Grove, with another West Palm Beach location slated to open this spring.
The Vision Behind Midorie
APM Restaurant Group, the force behind Midorie, is led by founder Alvaro Perez Miranda. The group’s culinary excellence was recognized with a Michelin star for their intimate, 12-seat restaurant, Ogawa, in 2024. Further underscoring Miranda’s influence and expertise, the Japanese government honored him as a Goodwill Ambassador for Japanese Cuisine in 2023, a distinction he holds as the first U.S. Latino recipient.
Design and Ambiance
The new Midorie at The Arcadian will offer a sophisticated dining environment. The 50-seat space will include an eight-seat sushi counter, providing an up-close view of the chefs at work, and a 34-seat dining room. Additionally, a private space named ‘The Sakura Room’ will be available for intimate gatherings of up to eight guests. The interior design will be enhanced by a striking 28-foot aluminum origami art installation stretching from the entrance to the sushi counter, complemented by artwork from Venezuelan artist Rafael Rangel and custom Japanese lanterns.
The Arcadian: A New Hub in Sistrunk
Midorie’s new home, The Arcadian, celebrated its grand opening in January. This mixed-use development aims to revitalize one of Fort Lauderdale’s historic neighborhoods by offering high-quality, attainable housing and commercial spaces. Developed by Fuse Group and KREA Developments, the project comprises two eight-story buildings with 502 residential units, ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments. The development also features approximately 15,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space designed to support local businesses and entrepreneurs, alongside a 629-space parking garage. Notably, 151 units are designated as attainable housing, with some reserved for tenants earning between 100% and 120% of the area median income.
Eyal Peretz, founder and CEO of Fuse Group, expressed that Midorie’s ethos aligns perfectly with the vision for the Sistrunk District. Further details regarding opening hours and the complete menu will be released closer to the June 2026 opening.
