“A real authentic Japanese restaurant which might be the only one owned by a Japanese chef…? It is kind of hard to find on this touristy strip in downtown but it’s worth walking through the whole length of the short strip to find their door. Sushi is freshly made and tastes very good. The service is also excellent. Good, thoughtful pricing and anyone can afford their fine cuisine.Vegetarian options: Sushi, tempuraDietary restrictions: Gluten free (but not soy sauce)“

“The noodles here are amazing! The Tonkotsu Soba’s broth is on point and The salmon noodle poke was light and fresh just how I like it. The only dissapointment I have is that they don’t have ice cream during winter but can’t blame them for that ?“

“Amazing good food! Prices have recently been updated as well, so here is the most up to date menu as of June 2023. I’m from the west coast and the first spot I dined in here on the east coast was Minato sushi! The old school pink classic building just stood out from the rest of the surrounding buildings. It’s well worth it! And it’s only run by husband and wife, super kind and generous vibes from them. Recommend trying it if you are looking for some good Japanese food.“

“Fabulous, fresh, and delicious - hands-down the best sushi in Halifax, and among the best I've had across Canada. A tiny restaurant, it is best for take-out (or delivery), but oh so good, right down to fresh, home-made chopped wasabi. Forget the 'AYCE' sushi joints - this is the real deal.“

“This place is fantastic! The food is absolutely amazing and our waitress was probably the best waitress we’ve ever had. We arrived around 6:15 and had our first dish (Japchae) within 20 minutes of going through the menu and ordering. They also gave us complimentary miso soup and it was excellent! We ordered the Tiger Roll to share as another appetizer and it was pretty great too. My girl had the Bibimbap and I had the Bulgogi and we were both super happy about our meals. But the best part of the whole dinner was the Bingsu, which is absolutely delicious and we will be going back often, even if it’s just for dessert! Thanks Arirang!“
