The charcoal aburi chicken and appetizers were very tasty. However, the A5 Japanese Wagyu Yaki Shabu was so completely drenched in the sauce that it overwhelmed all of the other flavors, if there were any to be discovered.

We tried the brussels and the broccolini which were both delicious. We also had a variety of the oshi rolls including the minami, yellowtail, albacore and salmon which were all melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The ambience was also lovely. The decor is contemporary and trendy and the lighting was perfect.

The resturant decor was nice and the front staff were friendly when we arrived. They were fantastic at accommodating allergies but forgot to bring someone's drink at the table. The food was underwhelming considering the descriptions on the menu and the prices charged. While I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt due to the allergies it seemed like the whole table shared the same opinion regarding the food. The cocktails that were served did seem unique and were delicious. The wagu sushi is the only thing the table agreed was prepared well. Overall: Great ingredients in the dishes themselves but it seemed like there was something missing, and it did not justify the price paid.

Food was amazing! Every bite was exquisite. I was there during TIFF so maybe not the norm but, front desk staff could be more attentive - no one makes eye contact until you call for their attention. I stood there waiting to check/in for my reservation for a while. My server was efficient (keeping us on time for our screening), knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations; other servers we called on when ours was unavailable, were less helpful.

The decor and service was great. What we didn't enjoy was being seated by the door so each time a wait staff member woukd enter/exit for patio service, we'd get a gust of cold air. We've tried the tasting menu for the two of us; although presentation was great, the flavour and overall impression of fell a bit flat of the $100 price tag. Nothing inherently wrong with the food, it was adequate by all metrics. But that's just it; adequate. Nothing really to impress or make us wanting more. Add that to the price tag and it does feel a bit overpriced for what it is. Maybe the a la carte menu may be a better fit for next time.

This was great experience for a first time visit. I am accustomed to dining on asian food and have come across a wide variety of dishes within this culture. With that said, I anticipated that I would be tasting flavours that weren't exactly new to me, however, I was happy to say that I was proven wrong. Some of the dishes included flavours and ingredients that were unexpected, such as including jalapeno in sushi, but didn't detract from the dish at all. You still had the fundamental idea of what you were eating. Service was great. The amount of time elapsed between dishes could be a tad more efficient. Our server Dale (hopefully I got the spelling correct) conducted himself in a friendly manner, answered our questions in a forthright manner, and made the experience very relaxed and enjoyable. Definitely worth visiting again in the future.

We chose Minami on a whim since we’re not from town and were blown away but the outstanding service, quality food and overall top notch experience. Miles was our server and was a specific standout, showing in depth knowledge of the menu, being extremely accommodating while never being intrusive and generally just helping make the experience that much more unique. Will definitely be recommending this place to anyone seeking a perfect example of fine dining.

Started with gyoza which was good, and oysters 3 ways (I wish they offered the aburi oysters on its own. Delicious!). Then aburi salmon is a classic, minami roll is great as always. Also had the miso x caramel x espresso drink which was delicious. The portion sizes were just right for a group of 4.
