Food and service was good, but front desk was beyond awful. We called to say we were gonna be 10 minute late, we showed up and the hostess said we had to wait because the last table was finishing up. 10 minutes later I asked the manager why did we have to wait if I made a reservation at 3 pm and we were late? He gave no explanation or apology, just told us to keep waiting. Another 10 minutes, this couple walks in and gets escorted to their table right away. I asked the hostess again what was going on and why did that couple just get it and get a table right away? She said she didn’t know. Another hostess explained that the earlier couple called before coming, I told her so did I. 3:30 pm only now they’re sanitizing the table. Out of 4 employees no one could explain what was the purpose of making a reservation at 3 pm if I had to wait 30 minutes. No apologies and this was all on Mother’s Day.

The food was awesome service was at awesome and the patio with

Good food but didn't quite live up to my expectations, especially for the price. Service was a bit slow but that could have been due to covid staffing

The ebi fritters were AMAZING! Overall food was great, best oshi sushi around.

one of my fav sushi places in town! their pressed sushi and nigiri is really good

As one of our favourite places for Japanese cuisine. We were lucky enough to be taken care of by Stephan which was our second time dining with him. He was attentive and provided excellent service and makes wonderful cocktails for me each time we have been there. Thank you for the always lovely food and great service. We shall return.

Great patio

Good food. Nice patio

We came here for our weekly date night and as usual always enjoyed the food and service at Minami. The garden patio was nice and quiet and heated! I felt very safe with the covid precautions taken and service was attentive. There was about 8 tables, well spaced out so it was quiet. And being away from the streets and traffic was nice. The food was good but we did not try anything crazy adventurous, ordered a tofu crumble salad, ebi fritters, signature sushi platter and Saba oishi and special uni nigiris as well as the 1/2 bottle of the feature sake and feature dessert. Price was as expected for Minami and our bill came to ard $250+. We were comfortably full and shared everything between 2 people.

Excellent service , presentation of food was truly amazing. Will definitely go back to try some of the other dishes offered. Not cheap but felt the value was there great quality.

Got to celebrate my sister’s birthday on the patio and it was lovely! Food and service was great as always :)

Amazing service, food, and staff!! A great place to go on weekdays.

Lovely cozy patio. The food is fresh and excellent. You must try the Salmon Oshi !

This was our 2nd time there within 3days! It’s been awhile! We felt wonderful to be able to come out and dine with your team! We felt completely safe in your restaurant. The food, staff, and atmosphere were fantastic as well! Thank you, Minami!

Awesome service by Ryan. Thank you for making my bffs 40th that much sweeter

The food was impeccable! And so glad that Minami is affiliated with Ocean Wise, we will definitely be dining there again soon!

Felt very safe and service was great. Definitely one of the better places to eat during this crazy pandemic!

Oshi sushi is a must!!!! Fantastic service, amazing atmosphere and such unique dishes. Strongly recommended!

Great customer service, and food was tasty! Food came out a little slower than expected though.

The best Japanese restaurant in Vancouver. Always incredible food and service!

First time coming here in years and I am so glad we checked out their sun drenched private patio! The sushi and Aburi Chicken was absolutely delicious and their Brussels sprouts were the best I have ever had! Our server who I believe is the bartender as well really made our day! He was so personable and gave great service and made a mean Margarita.
I highly recommend this patio especially during these restrictions!
Thank you for an amazing meal and a great day out!

Food was amazing and absolutely delicious.
Will definitely visit again!

Service was great!

The patio heaters were not warm enough. It's not possible to have 4 tables to share one heater. Hot food and hot drink just cooled down very quickly. Had a headache from cold after dinner

Patio was too cold :(

Worst experience in my life. There were 5 of us and it was painful to get seated at 2 tables. There was only another table of 2 people. You would think that they would be happy to see us. Then I left to pick up my support dog. I was told corporate policy did not allow pets. I told them he's not a pet but they didn't care. They didn't care about City of Vancouver laws either and said their corporate policy trumps laws. They would not allow me to finish my food and drink. Told me to leave. They had 9 customers, 5 of them my party but even getting 2 tables was so painful even though all but 1 of their tables were empty. I was at Miku's grand opening with the priest flown in from Japan. Miku sucks at customer service. The restaurant did not even tell me happy hour had been canceled. I was going to order more but I was so upset. This restaurant will close this year. The food is chintzy and expensive. No wonder I saw only 4 other customers the entire time. What a loser. I have brought people before. Now I'm not going to patronize the joke anymore.

We had the Easter lunch menu - what elevated cuisine! A special treat!

Service was excellent from the moment we walked in the door. Food was very reasonably priced for what you get (we got the easter special)

Not enough choices in the menu

Overall our visit was good. We ordered the Easter special menu for lunch, and it was good, however, it took way too long for our food. We watched other patrons come after us, order, and almost finish their lunches, before we got our first course. It was good, but not worth a 47 min wait. The second course of Aburi sushi was great and the desert was beautifully presented.

We enjoyed the food and service. Only one thing that kept me wondering.... why was the light for our table flickering?

My husband and I shared everything that we ordered. For appetizers we order Ebi Fritters. The white tiger prawns were fried in a very light batter and very delicious. It was accompanied with an Asian slaw which had a vinaigrette which I didn't particularly like.
Our second appetizer was Brussel sprout chips would have been even more amazing if the Brussel sprouts were fresher. The Champagne roll was delicious as was the Oshi sampler with the exception of the Ebi Oshi Sushi. The prawn was pressed so flat and it actually tasted hard and overcooked.

As always the food at Minami is fantastic, as is the service. Ebi Oshi Sushi is one of my favourites along with the Nutrigreen Salad.

Our server was so splendid. I forgot her name but I really did enjoy my visit at Minami. Even though my partner and I did not dress too formerly, we weren’t judged based by our appearance. Just came to get some good food and overall very much appreciate the service we received from our server.

Thank you, best service and delicious dishes! I recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely Wonderful food, service and ambience!
The only negative ...Restaurant is a little on the cool side, otherwise a perfect evening.

My only complaint, food service was quite slow....the wait in between courses was longer than what i would’ve expected. We were at least happy that our server recognized this and apologied for the kitchen. Seems like kitchen could not keep up with all the takeout orders and dining service orders.

I'll definite return. Fabulous service... awesome food... just as I expected.

We had the most wonderful experience. Service staff remebered our last visit and were so kind to our two young children. Food and bar drinks were fantastic. Can't wait until our next visit.

Very pretentious but the food backs it up. The waiter told me not to use soy sauce with my sushi to not mask the flavour. Was very impressed with the food but also very expensive, it’s an experience forsure and definitely worth trying.
