Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Yaletown, Minami follows the pioneering footsteps of its sister restaurant, Miku, in delivering the innovative dining experience of Aburi cuisine to Vancouver's thriving food scene. Each piece of sushi is flame-seared using a blowtorch and binchotan (oak charcoal), resulting in sushi with a smoky aroma and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

    Came with family for a special occasion a Friday evening. Service was slow but food was good. I feel like fish/seafood portions were larger last year! Soba and sashimi definitely my favourites and the cannoli and cheesecake rocked us!!!

    Food, as usual, was excellent. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive but not intrusive… authentic, pleasant and has great communication skills.

    I felt that I had better sushi from other top end sushi establishments compared to minami for the same price. My expectations was that I would have a higher level of quality but that was not the case.

    Excellent service and food, but we were seated by some larger groups who were very noisy. Unfortunately that detracted from the experience.

    Wow!!! Deep thanks to our server Akane for the wonderful experience we had while eating our Taste of Minami menu for me and my sister’s birthdays. Akane was lovely, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about what the dishes were, and her speed as well as anticipating what we needed was impeccable. Each bite was absolutely telling of the meticulous way the chefs cook their dishes, and I 100% tasted authentic Japanese cuisine with the Pacific Northwestern touch. My FAVE dishes? All of them; in particular I really enjoyed the bluefin redwave roll and Aburi Oshi—it was like a party in my stomach! Never tasted Bluefin Akami before so when I did, I was mindblown—the sashimi and nigiri meat simply melted on my tongue. Thanks so much Akane and Minami! Definitely coming back again 💞💞💞
