    Amazing service with the best sushi I’ve had. I booked in advanced all the way from New Jersey and having this restaurant as a destination point was worth it. The service was great and the staff was friendly and passionate about the food. Would definitely come back every time I visit Toronto.

    Nice experience with quality food except for the edamame who seemed old and too cooked. All the dishes were really good otherwise but quantity was small for the price. I would go back to try different things.

    Had an excellent time at Minami. It was my fiancée's birthday and it was the perfect dinner experience. The service was top-notch with the wait staff being very helpful and attentive. The food was great both the traditional nigiri as well as the torched aburi style sushi. Would definitely recommend coming here and will absolutely be going again!

    Really loved the decor of this place. The food was amazing and the staff's attention to detail was top notch. We celebrated my husband's bday and mentioned it when being asked why we were there at the reception. When dessert time came, we were surprised to receive a bday message and candle with my husband's dessert. Really and enjoyable experience. Only complaint is that I think they had like ac on so I felt a bit Chilli.

    Absolutely terrific. The staff were very helpful in addressing people’s dietary needs (including gluten free), and the food was phenomenal. Love the option for both sushi and steak (and even some wagyu sushi!) Just wish some of the aburi sushi could be made gluten free (like at sister restaurant, Miku) and that they had more options for sake by the class or smaller bottles - only a few of their extensive sake list is available by the glass or in smaller sizes. But those are really minor issues, and we’ll be back for sure! Really conveniently located in the Theatre district.

    Minami Restaurant - TorontoResponded on February 21, 2023Thank you so much for your warm review! I love that you got such a broad experience of our menu and we were able to help with your dietary needs. One small note: the hamachi oshi is available gluten free, however it does contain miso, so it depends on whether the guest is celiac or GF. For next time we'll get it right, we serve all of the same oshis as Miku. I like your comment on the sake, also, I'll take that under advisement! Thanks again and we'll see you soon.

    Had the tasting menu, some of the dishes were unbalanced with sauces overpowering the main ingredients. Beef tenderloin was a bit chewy, lobster tail was a struggle to eat as it was completely stuck to the shell. Dessert was underwhelming. Sashimi starter was fantastic, as were the majority of the sushi platter for the 3rd course.
