About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for groups
Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Yaletown, Minami follows the pioneering footsteps of its sister restaurant, Miku, in delivering the innovative dining experience of Aburi cuisine to Vancouver's thriving food scene. Each piece of sushi is flame-seared using a blowtorch and binchotan (oak charcoal), resulting in sushi with a smoky aroma and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

    We had a great experience at Minami! Wait staff was super attentive without being annoying. We only had nigiri sushi, but it was excellent...the uni may be the best I've ever had!

    Ryan was great! I do feel that we got less food than in previous visits. One of my daughters and I order the sable fish lunch every time.

    It was good but just good. Wish the aburi rice to toppings ratio was better. Also, the rice was dense and not a good texture. Better value for aburi elsewhere.

    The menu is innovative and was executed exceptionally well. There was a minor issue regarding the seasoning; however, the quality of the ingredients and skill of the kitchen were outstanding. The service was good, but feel a little disjoined. This is only based on my preference of having a more personalized experience. During our dinner, we were waited on by four/five different people at various capacities. Overall, this was a good experience and I will definitely recommend Minami to my friends.
