About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Good for business meals
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.

    This is a good change from Miku in a sense that it is a bit less “formal” . The sushi is as good and the service was great.

    Excellent, fresh sushi. Aburi was a new experience for us; slightly seered sushi. Amazing!

    Everyone who came to our table was so incredibly nice. The food is always delicious - we had to double down on the Champagne Roll, the grilled vegetables and - obviously - the Salmon Aburi ♥️♥️♥️ Adrienne (I think that was her name) our server was very attentive and nice, it was the perfect send-off dinner for my friends!

    Excellent food but Vapor service. Waited far too long for any attention, drink orders, etc. made to feel that somehow we were a burden as servers rushed through explanations of the tasting menu items and lacked grace. This restaurant had been a favourite, but seems something has happened.

    We had an amazing dinner at Minami! The 3 of us went with the tasting menu. Every course was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The chefs provided a great mix of classic and creative dishes. We also tried their sake flights, which paired perfectly with the meal. Great vibe and service too. Highly recommend! The photos show some of the servings we had. It’s not the complete tasting menu.
