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.

    DineOut and my wife’s birthday lunch, a great combo. Food was delicious, service was top notch. IMO, Minami is better than Miku :-)

    Food was amazing. They were accommodating to my food restrictions and our server Josh was the best! Super friendly and gave us the best advice about the menu based on our preferences.

    First time at Minami - the service was absolutely wonderful. The beet salad was fantastic, and we also enjoyed the baked tofu salad with the crispy tempeh - great dressing. The salmon and ebi oishi sushi were light on the protein but still delicious. The chicken nanban were okay - I think we prefer the crunch of the karaage style. We weren’t a huge fan of the Bluefin Redwave Roll - the tuna was quite fishy and the vegetable base didn’t remove the pungency.

    This was an exceptional culinary experience with fantastic food and knowledgeable staff. The sea bream custard was eye-rolling good, and Brussels sprouts were the best I’ve ever eaten. Salmon Oshi was spectacular and even though we were full, we just had to order more! Manager Mikee and server Simone perfectly rounded off the experience for us.

    Great food and great service!! Our server Hana was so fun and helpful, thank you Hana! The food was all delicious, I recommend the hamachi crudo, the oshi sushi sampler, and the green tea opera dessert!

    Sister restaurant to Miku, which carries over its fantastic flavours and focus on excellent ingredients. We did the tasting menu. As usual the seafood was delicious. The portioning of the protein dishes, despite tasting great, was a little bit too small. The dessert was amazing - highly recommend venturing out of the classic green tea opera (which is also great) to try out their other options. The canoli and blueberry ice cream were standouts.

    This place was incredible! The service was fast and the food was great. Best service I’ve ever had. The staff are so helpful. If you get the server Kim then it is your lucky day. She is incredible. I honestly can’t describe how good that food was so I only have two words. Sushi. Yes
