I had an amazing experience at Minami! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was outstanding—the duck was cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce, the sushi was incredibly fresh and just melted in my mouth, and the crispy chicken was a delight. To top it all off, the carrot cake was the best I’ve had in town. Highly recommend!

We happened to go here because of the decor! The food was amazing and the service was also fantastic. We got seated in a very comfortable spot and the staff were very attentive. Wagyu was delicious and the sushi was on point with the flavours and unique sauces. Got to try a lot of new things at this restaurant, the only critique I have is that the dessert was not up to standard in terms of creativity or flavour compared to the other dishes, I would have rather had something more simple or something more complex. Thanks!

Had such a great experience here the other night for our anniversary. We tried out their 5-course winter tasting menu and it was absolutely delicious. From the apps all the way to the dessert, it was so so good. The standouts were definitely the salmon crudo and the 7 piece sushi set. Everything was super fresh and had a great combination of flavours. The miso baked sablefish was so buttery and was a great portion. I definitely would come back again and would highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! We went to celebrate our anniversary and they surprised us with a card which was so thoughtful. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything we tried was full of flavour. The service was friendly, and efficient. But what really stood out was the decor and atmosphere - the interior design is stunning. Highly recommend this place for both the incredible food and the unforgettable atmosphere!

Minami used to be a great place for great food with an amazing atmosphere. Unfortunately my visit will be my last. The sashimi quality was not up to standard considering the prices they charge, and I frequently had to wave my server over to get their attention. It’s a shame, but I will not be coming back to Minami again.
