Minami is a great aesthetic spot that's easy to get to for a special occasion or more elevated meal. Portions are definitely on the smaller side, food tastes good overall (not high value in my opinion, but you're paying for the vibes), desserts were great and mocktails are enjoyable. I came with some family to celebrate a birthday and the staff was friendly and added a candle and happy birthday chocolate to our dessert. I would return for a light meal, dessert and drinks.
Atmosphere is lovely, and food is delicious. The desserts especially; they are not too sweet! The only thing is for the soft shell crab, it was not crispy at all; so not sure if they pre made it and didn’t refry it. The service was very mediocre; for the price we are paying, I was expecting more. There were a lot of employees around us, but it took a very long time to catch their attention for anything; one of them seemed more focused on tables with businessmen and chatting with them.
Minami is a Japanese restaurant located in downtown Toronto which provides a unique experience offering an assortment of sushi and tapas to choose from. The menu offers lunch sets, shareable small plates and a variety of Aburi sushi. Shared their Edomae Selection which includes traditional sushi and hosomaki (10pcs) including complimentary miso soup. In addition, added the Truffle Dashi Pork Gyoza (5pc) and the Aburi Yellowtail Oshi Sushi (4pcs). It is a refreshing and creative Japanese tapas experience. Although, it can be a bit more on the pricey side; it is good value based on the quality and care of the ingredients used in each dish. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience based on the lunch menu on a weekend. The ambiance at Minami is fitted especially for special occasions and date nights. Check Minami out for some delicious Aburi sushi and their other menu items!
It's my first time here. I was greeted with a nice friendly staff and the service was fantastic 👌. I got the Beef Sukiyaki pot roast. It's a braised beef shank, sweet soy, roasted potatoes, brussels sprouts, Olsen tomato, aonori powder. This is part of the Gozen Lunch Set. Classic Japanese set meals with a Minami twist, served with miso soup, goma-ae, somen noodle, salmon tatsuta-age, and a selection of seasonal Japanese side dishes, plus your choice of: selection of Aburi sushi or mini poke bowl.

Located on kings west right in downtown Toronto this fancy Japanese restaurant is definitely an experience. I am not very educated about Japanese cuisine especially sushi, but fortunately they had a meal program 4 course with 3 wines. The appetizer had oyster and a very crisp wine that as the servers described and I do agree paired perfectly. Then we were presented with sushi, around 6 of them with salmon, tiger fish and few others that I dont remember, 2 of them were well torched. Each sushi was packed with perfectly nourishing flavours, with wasabi and soya sauce. The main course had, rice and salmon and a very fruity wine. Desserts was matcha flavoured ice cream. Most important part of all food was they were really fresh, I believe fish of any kind is best consumed as fresh as possible, and with open heart and palette I can say it was damn fresh, and each bite will give you that experience. Moving to ambience, it had beautiful, warm and eye catching aura that you will enjoy. With light music and good lighting you don’t feel rush and to enjoy the moment. Last but not the least the service was awesome, our serve would describe each food and wine so much detail that you remember that in each bite and would be able to relate. Really phenomenal If you are looking for fancy date night spot you should definitely try this to impress.
