Best aburi sushi hands down. Little pricey but treat yourself once in a while, you won't regret
Great food at a reasonable price for the quality you get. Highly recommend getting the premium aburi (all three types) and the beef carpaccio if you go there for the dinner service. Their house sake is also excellent and worth trying as it is specifically made for the restaurant. The desserts are also great as they are not too sweet but also amazing to look at. They change the plating for their desserts quite often so it is fun to eat the same dessert just to see the new design.
Love the vibe! Lunch time, we spent 220 CAD for three people. The price is acceptable but still on a higher end (no alcohol). The quantity of food was almost like an “all u can eat Minami”. Super satisfied!
Whenever you see bubbles on your food, you can pretty much bet it's an expensive restaurant. Went to Minami with some friends for some Japanese food. To me, it's quite expensive, but also very very good. Great place to indulge myself for some fine Japanese food once in a while. Their dishes are all so delicate looking. Premium food. It's pleasing to the eyes and stomach.
Ever since we went to miku we wanted to try minami as this is the sister location. We obviously got the Aburi salmon and ebi oshi sushi, we also got champagne roll, red wave roll, tuna tartar, calamari and green tea opera cake. The tuna tarter was really good with great flavor of Wasabi.
The Aburi oshi is some of the best sushi you will ever have. The batter on calamari was super crispy and light, and the pickled tamato was the best part. The green tea opera cake and red roll were also good but our favorite dish turned out to be the champagne roll. It was a seared Scallop which melted in your mouth and it had tobiko which popped in every bite. Though between the two restaurants I would still say that miku is better but minami is no less. If you can't get in miku than you can definitely go to Minami.
The funny thing is, the party comprised members of an advisory board; the people who give the advice needed to make important decisions. Lunch is important, right? So we all joined in to offer our suggestions for the menu. And, needless to say -- an expression almost always used to introduce something that could have gone unsaid -- we were all over the place. What to do? GET IT ALL! And I think we did. Plate after delicious plate. What did we have? I remain unsure, except to say every bite was absolutely delicious.
Undoubtedly the go-to aburi sushi restaurant in Vancouver is Miku, but when they are too busy during lunch hour the next best would be their sister restaurant – Minami. Last week I had a craving for aburi, but didn’t have the foresight to make a reservation, so we ended up making our way to Yaletown to dine at Minami. This was actually my first time having a meal at Minami (usually I drop by for a drink or two).
Minami is one of the many upscale restaurants in Yaletown. Food quality (and price :O) is certainly on the high end. Naturally, we had high expectations too!. We ordered two lunches (miso soup included) as well as an aburi sushi to share. Sushi Lunch #1: Traditional – $23. Ten pieces total of nigiri and sushi rolls (I learned that those are called hosomaki). As seen in photo, there was a variety of fish, and each piece of sushi was delicately made. For those who care, everything on this plate was gluten free.
Good vibe and atmosphere at Minami. Food is always delicious and their Aburi is on point! I'm never disappointed. Since I hate finding parking in Yaletown, I don't come here as often as I want to.
very slow service and this was during slow hours
good food/ one of my favorite for oshi sushis
parking can be a hassle
romantic/special occasion atmosphere
average price
the main courses are very small portion
if i had to choose 1 dish: salmon oshi sushi
would i go back? yes
Amazing 🍣 and extremely tasty!
I came for first time for my birthday dinner a while ago and everything was just amazing. The interior was beautiful and modern, I didn't get chance to take more photos of it tho, but the atmosphere was also equally as well. ⭐️
The dishes my boyfriend and I ordered were are just amazing and there were so much taste and flavour in just one bite! They also have daily specials and server was very kind to answer my questions. I really enjoyed and definately will come back again!
Minami lived up to the hype. We ordered the 5-course tasting menu and every course was delicious and very well presented. Our server was great and was attentive throughout service, providing explanations when asked. The sake tasting is high recommended if you haven’t had much sake before. The sashimi quality was excellent as well.
Excellent service, clean atmosphere, food was phenomenal. Thank you so much to the staff including BOH who made our wedding anniversary so special. The bartender came over to pour our water, which is probably normal, but a nice touch considering he's leaving his station. Our server was so polite and friendly. She talked to us for a decent amount of time about life and the food.
Would highly recommend.
Amazing! Had an anniversary here and they truly made the experience worth it. Make sure to book a reservation. The sushi was phenomenal and the waiter ( Aiden) was very friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about the menu. Every single item we ordered was scrumptious and unique!
Great spot for tasty sushi. Not traditional type of sushi but still very flavorful. I got the lunch premium zen and it was a ton of food with soup, salad, 3 seasonal dishes, assorted sushi, and dessert. Fish was fresh and rice made correctly. The service was friendly and attentive. I recommend coming for your contemporary style sushi.
A favourite staple here in Vancouver. We often go here since one of our friends is celiac and they're great with being gluten free.
Everything is delicious as usual and drinks are so good.
The customer service was amazing. However personally the food was a little lacking in flavor( especially for the price) and just overall lacking in portion size. I purchased the 5 course meal, and still left the restaurant a bit hungry. I would recommend sticking to the rolls for overall value and taste economy.
