The food, service, ambience, and vibe were all great. I love coming here. The o-toro and uni nigiri were great, and the Minami roll never disappoints.

Very attentive and caring service. We celebrated our anniversary here, and the staff prepared a card for us in advance. They even placed a wishing note on our dessert. Food and cocktail are good too.

The waitress was very nice and welcoming. Some other staff less but she was not pretentious and very warm. Even though it seemed she was new. The food is priced fairly, and the first courses were special and excellent.

I’ve had many fantastic experiences at Minami, and this time I booked a dinner for my parents. They had an absolutely wonderful time and were thrilled with the food. I had several special requests for the reservation, and Nicholas and his team went above and beyond in ensuring everything was perfect. The service was impeccable, and the attention to detail truly made the evening memorable. Thank you so much to the team for creating such a wonderful experience for us — we’ll definitely be back!
