The take
The Take
The Vibe
Yakitori Midori is a long-established yakitori shop representing Kanagawa, with a focus on tradition and familiarity. The listing frames the restaurant as part of a small family of venues, a sister restaurant to Rihotei, which reinforces a classic, time-honored identity. The focus on yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) signals straightforward, unpretentious Japanese fare rather than experimental cuisine. The Tabelog entry highlights menus, maps and user photos, so visitors can anticipate a dependable, classic yakitori experience with an emphasis on grilled-skewer craft and a no-smoking policy.
Best For
This is best suited to diners looking for a straightforward yakitori dinner or a casual night out. The venue is presented on Tabelog with menus, ratings and user photos, which helps guests plan an evening visit; the emphasis on yakitori suggests the main service window is evening meal service. Online reservations are available, making it practical for planning a relaxed dinner with friends or family. The no-smoking note also makes it a comfortable choice for groups that prefer a smoke-free environment while enjoying grilled-skewer specialties.
Ordering Tips
Focus orders on the restaurant’s core offering: yakitori, grilled chicken skewers. Use the Tabelog entry to preview menus, photos and user reviews so you can identify recommended skewers and portion sizes before you arrive. Online reservations are accepted, so booking in advance is advisable if you want to secure a table. Also be aware the venue is listed as no smoking, which is useful to know when ordering and planning for companions who prefer a smoke-free dining room.

Restaurant context
Yakitori Midori anchors the middle of Yokohama's yakitori pricing spectrum at JPY 8,000–9,999, landing between budget-friendly spots like Casablanca Katano Shurui Hanbai (JPY 3,000–3,999) and premium counters like 1000 (JPY 15,000–19,999). The Tabelog 100 recognition puts it in the same credential tier as Yakitori Saito and Yakitori Hifumi, but Midori's dinner-only schedule and Naka Ward location make it less flexible than Saito's broader hours or Hifumi's higher-end positioning.
If you're prioritizing value, Yakitori Saito at JPY 6,000–7,999 delivers similar Tabelog 100 quality for 20–30% less spend. For a splurge-worthy experience with more refined technique and service, 1000 justifies the JPY 15,000+ price with a deeper omakase progression and premium chicken sourcing. Midori works when you want the credential of a recognized yakitori counter without the booking difficulty or cost of the top tier, but it requires committing to dinner-only availability and a more casual room than Hifumi's polished setup.
Booking difficulty is easy across the board, with online reservations handling most party sizes at Midori, Saito, and Hifumi. 1000 sees slightly more competition for prime weekend slots, but nothing approaching Tokyo's impossible-to-book yakitori counters. If you're cross-shopping on price alone, Sisiliya at JPY 3,000–3,999 offers a more casual izakaya format with yakitori as one component rather than the main event.
