The steamer baskets are super! Also great nabe options, especially on stormy days. Service is friendly and fast. Dishes served in correct order. The agedashi is tasty. The staff checks often if anything else is wanted. The plain rice 🍚 is good!
The food at this place is excellent, offering generous portions for a fair price. The taste is delightful, and the service is commendable. However, the seating area may be a bit tight for large groups, and it seems like they could use more staff. Nonetheless, the existing staff is courteous and poli
The food here is great, big plate portions and very fair for the price. Taste is good and service is good too. I feel that there is not sufficient room for big groups and also there is enough people to serve, but they are kind and polite.
The place is not the pretties but food is great and also is p
This was my first visit to Minato, but others in my group had been there many times, and I can see why. Minato is a small, family-owned/operated business with an extremely hospitable staff. During our dinner, we felt very well attended to, as the staff would make sure to stop by on occasion to make
My husband and I ate dinner here about a year ago, during vacation. We were walking around exploring J-town that evening, but most stores had closed so we came here to eat. It was homey and charming with nice staff. I think I had a dinner combo bento plate, with Plum wine. Everything was delicious a
Suggested as one of the best sushi in the area on Yelp and by a suggestion from the hotel we stayed at in the area.
We ordered sushi apps as the staff suggested it. plus tempura plates, eggplant, and gyoza steamed.
For my main course, I had the world famous (not) Ribs. Let's start with the staff.

Really excellent service paired with quality food. Loved it here. The sushi rolls were tender & flavorful, with the perfect amount of rice and you could tell they were fresh. The chicken katsu was served hot and was cooked perfectly. We will be back for sure!
First of all, the hospitality is excellent, and they back it up with very tasty and affordable food. I ordered the dinner special combo (priced slightly less than twenty bucks) and am fully satisfied. But I really gotta mention the level of great service we received this evening…it was top notch. Cl
the minato and hamachi rolls were amazing! fresh fish and seasoned rice, best paired with a cold beer!
FIRST TIME HERE. NICE AND BIG INSIDE WITH PLENTY OF SITTING. NICE BATHROOMS 🚻. SERVERS WERE NICE AND KIND. OWNER WAS VERY NICE. FOOD WAS DELICIOUS 😋. PLENTY OF PARKING .
This restaurant makes you feel like you're eating in Japan. The chicken teriyaki (spicy sauce) was amazing! The tempura was one of the best I have ever had. They have nicely priced lunch specials. The service is fast and friendly.
Really nice place to have a smooth and nice lunch/dinner.
The owners are friendly and make sure that you are taken care of. The staff is very polite and don't get you the feeling of rushing to finish your meal, pay and leave.
The place smells good and looks clean (you can see how they disinfect th
You want authentic Japanese food then come here. Lunch specials with Miso soup, salad, rice, Chicken teriyaki (get the spicy as the put ginger in it and it is amazing) with two sides of choice (I did the prawns which were the size of my hand and forearm) and gyoza.
Price is LESS than a Big Mac meal
Curry Katsu tastes good! It comes up with a huge plate. I like its source, yummy! The dinner bento box has different options of food so you can have chicken, fish, gyoza, rice in one bento! Yea, you can also choose the California roll which is kinda tiny to me.
A friendly family restaurant. My favorites are the steamed dishes, followed by the Donburi. Restaurant has not yet recovered from COVID-19 in terms of fully reopening. A portion of the restaurant is still used for storage and order pickups. The tired and worn-out signs are a sad reminder of the pand
Went here for lunch on a Saturday. Got there near the end of the lunch service so it wasn't difficult to get a seat. We were seated right away.
Feels like you're going into a relatives home. Not fancy but the food is good and the price is very affordable.
I had a combination lunch box. Tempura, sa
Ordered the Gene's special with the mini chirashi, and the 2 pieces of croquette on the side. The croquette was absolutely delicious! Flaky and light without being too heavy in texture and flavour. The tempura udon and mini chirashi were good and the portions were filling, although nothing was parti
