What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Minato for its generous portions of fresh sushi and the wide variety of Japanese and Korean dishes. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service are often highlighted as positives. However, some patrons find the prices high for the basic selection of fish offered, and there have been instances of service inconsistencies and order mix-ups.
"The best Sashimi I've ever had in my life and it's my favourite dish. 9 pc but generously cut, so fresh. I could order 2 portions if I'm a bit hungry. I read the first few pages of The Life Behind Me book and bought 1. Love the book mark.
The second time I ordered the shrimp fried rice. Such a big portion, I only ate half. Bought another The Life Behind Me book to give as present for a friend.
Both occasions I had the green tea ice cream. Good portion. I'll definitely come back for the Sashimi Platter.
Pity they don't have Chawan Mushi and Mochi, also Ogura Ice Cream."

"Huge and generous portions of sushi! Fresh wasabi was tasty and spicy. Blue fin tuna Lover roll was fantastic. Best value for the money! Service from Ciera was perfect."

"You will not expect a sushi place in the desert to be this good! 3 reasons why I will recommend this place.
-The food is made fast and the sushi chefs are right there and make it in front of you.
-The variety of food they offer for a primarily sushi place is impressive. 6 pages menu.
-The food is amazingly delicious, well balanced, healthy and some plates are straight from the chef stove to your table.
Bonus is the very friendly staff."

Happily gave into my California Roll cravings! Their California Roll, was So good! The 8 piece portion was actually bigger than I expected (my first sushi order since moving; my expectations were from years of experiences in other states). Fresh, great flavors, rice was perfect! Opted for a Crunch Roll as my second choice, (I truly craved California rolls) did not disappoint! Plenty of Crunch smothering the roll provided a flavor that set the two apart wonderfully, truly giving me a second roll! Another large 8 pc portion, both were more filling than expected .Based on past sushi experience, thinking I needed more food, I added a Vegetable Tempura Appetizer. I loved the veggie variety. It arrived warm and fresh .. while rolls held their separate, perfect temps. I ate Everything, so I got a bit uncomfortable (my fault), but, omg, what a fun dinner ☺️! Door Dash driver was friendly, on time, seemed happy to deliver great food, completing an exceptional experience!". "Got the Chicken Katsu, Beef Yakisoba, gyozas, and chicken fried rice with extra egg. The servings were good and plenty and everything was absolutely delicious. The rice, noodles and vegetables were cooked perfectly as was the beef and the chicken. The chicken katsu just melted in my mouth...it was perfect. I was going to do sushi tonight but I saw chicken katsu and had to have it and from there I decided to buy enough for a few days since I'll be working from home this weekend. And the prices were great considering the portions were hefty. It's already cooked and I'm so glad I did because it was far better than I expected!. Seasonings were en pointe and I'm pleased that nothing was over-salted.
