Over all a really nice experience with great food and service but the music was way too loud and gave us a feeling like being in the club and not at a nice restaurant
Minami Restaurant - TorontoResponded today
Thank you for your review and rating, Gróa. I'm so glad you enjoyed the food and service! It is true, Friday and Saturday nights during peak dinner hours, the volume of the restaurant is quite lively. Our weekday dinners tend to be more reserved volume-wise, I hope you'll consider giving us a try then! Kind regards, Victoria Hevesi Manager

This was our second dinner at Minami. The first time, we tried their Winterlicious dinner offering. It was okay, a good starter with Sushi, then a very disappointing Waygu main, which, when we questioned the waitress , turned out NOT to be Waygu. Good dessert. So, a week later, we thought we should try the a la carte menu which has been getting excellent revues in the media. We had a terrible sushi „oshi“ starter, which consisted of rectangular rice patties, topped with rolled toppings: mackerel, tuna and shrimp. Beware, the toppings are 1 mm thin, so you cannot really taste them, only the rice. We asked for wasabi and soy sauce to add some flavour. We had fried Calamari which were okay, Miso soup also okay, and then some traditional sushi, again, just okay, not totally fresh. We decided to pass on dessert. The price was reasonable, but we will not go back.

Hi Terence, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and rating. I'm sorry to hear you did not enjoy the food, but I'm so glad you enjoyed the service and ambience! The Oshi sushi are our flagship signature items that most of our guests love, but we understand they are not to everyone's liking. Regarding the wagyu entree, I'm not sure why you would have been told that it is not wagyu. We swerve both American and Japanese wagyu on our menus, and the Winterlicious menu included an American wagyu entree, which I can assure you is authentic American wagyu beef. We appreciate your patronage! Kind regards, Victoria Hevesi Manager

DELICIOUS!! we did the 3 course tasting menu and added on the wagu steak and it ended up being our favourite! The fish dish was a bit bland but everything else was so fresh and tasty! Our server was wonderful!

Thanks so much for your review and rating! I'm so glad you enjoyed the food and service. The Aburi Cali rolls are my personal favourite, too! It's becoming a problem.....but a really good problem to have! I promise we will have many more Aburi Cali rolls here waiting for you the next time you come by for a visit.

Fabulous again. This was my second visit and my husband’s first- we both loved it and felt there wasn’t anything on the menu that wouldn’t be great. Staff is attentive and ambiance is on point. Excited to come back sometime.

Love it, wish they had formal cocktails instead of “0% drinks”
Minami Restaurant - TorontoResponded on February 15, 2025
Hi Husni, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and rating. We do have alcoholic cocktails as well, all of which can be found in the red leather bound beverage menu (you should have received one when you were seated at your table). There is menu insert that lists our featured zero-proof cocktails, but we do have a full bar as well. Please let us know next time if there are any particular drinks you are interested in and we will make that happen! Best, Victoria Hevesi Manager
