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.

    Join us for an intimate al fresco evening on our hidden patio as Minami partners with the renowned Jermann Winery of Italy for a one-night-only wine pairing dinner. This exclusive experience features a meticulously crafted multi-course menu, highlighting the vibrant flavours of the season paired with exquisite Jermann wines. The evening will feature special guest Felix Jermann, the sixth generation of the Jermann Winery, who will guide guests through a curated selection of vintages while sharing the rich legacy of the family's winemaking tradition. "This night is more than just a celebration of fine wine — it’s a chance to share the story of my family: three generations devoted to the land, to innovation, and to the heart of Friuli." – Felix Jermann $170 per person, inclusive of tax and gratuity. This experience will be hosted at our long table on the patio, with limited seating available. Please note that due to the specialized nature and coursing of this menu, modifications or substitutions are not available.

    Wunderbares Essen, aber leider viel zu kalt und viel zu laut um einen entspannten Abend zu verbringen. Mehr als zwei Personen konnten sich nie unterhalten und selbst das war nur mit sehr sehr erhobener Stimme möglich. Der Service war sehr zuvorkommend und aufmerksam

    Everything was so tasty! All the staff (especially Simone) have a wealth of knowledge, gave great suggestions, were very attentive, and friendly. There's nothing I didn't like. Well worth a visit!

    Noteworthy dining experience because of the food and service. Fantastically good and fresh sushi, oysters, halibut and A5 Wagyu. From the starters to mains to dessert, every dish soared. Absolutely memorable for the attentive and perfect service. Our table of three diners was welcomed and seated promptly and treated exceptionally well. Do not miss out on the local oysters as a starter! It is an absolute "celebratory" restaurant and the energy and volume channeled as much. Pro-tip, ask for a quiet table in the back for a more intimate experience.
