Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Minami Restaurant in Toronto offers a delightful dining experience with "impeccable service" and "AMAZING" sushi. The ambiance is both chic and cozy, perfect for special occasions. While some find the portions small, the quality of food, especially the "outstanding Oshi", makes up for it. Highly recommended for Japanese food enthusiasts!

    Very attentive and caring service. We celebrated our anniversary here, and the staff prepared a card for us in advance. They even placed a wishing note on our dessert. Food and cocktail are good too.

    The waitress was very nice and welcoming. Some other staff less but she was not pretentious and very warm. Even though it seemed she was new. The food is priced fairly, and the first courses were special and excellent.

    I’ve had many fantastic experiences at Minami, and this time I booked a dinner for my parents. They had an absolutely wonderful time and were thrilled with the food. I had several special requests for the reservation, and Nicholas and his team went above and beyond in ensuring everything was perfect. The service was impeccable, and the attention to detail truly made the evening memorable. Thank you so much to the team for creating such a wonderful experience for us — we’ll definitely be back!

    Hi I made this reservation very early. I was not sure how to put in my reservation that we wanted a certain table by the window. We were fortunately moved to the table we wanted. As always the food was good. The nacho's new on the menu were considered a big success. Thank you for a lovely meal.
    Minami Restaurant - TorontoResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Guests are free to make a note about preferred seating in their reservation, and we do our best to accommodate requests when possible. OpenTable has a field where guests can type special notes when booking a table. We have a partnership with Tablz, where guests can book their preferred seating for a small fee, which is the only way to guarantee seating in a specific area of the restaurant. This link can be found on the reservations tab on our website. Misunderstandings between guests and staff sometimes occur. We do our best to avoid them, but they do happen from time to time. Was the drink remade to your guest's liking? While mistakes happen, I want to ensure the team takes appropriate steps to correct them. Best, Victoria

    A lovely experience and a spot to try for fusion Japanese. The team is customer engaged and food is amazing. Please give them a try, if you love Japanese or just want to try something different and are new to fusion.
