Nothing great about the food. But considering the price and the ambiance, I would give this a low rating for value.

Excellent food & service. Food is creatively presented & an interesting combination of flavours. Perfect location for a meal before or after a show.

This was our first time to Minami, and we were rushed for timing before getting to the TSO. The food was fantastic, and our service was excellent. Thanks for a great dinner!

The only negative was it was quite noisy and I had some trouble hearing my dinner guest.
Minami Restaurant - TorontoResponded on April 17, 2025
Thank you Cathy! We appreciate you joining us. It's true, the high ceilings and hard surfaces in the restaurant mean the din can get pretty hard to overcome. We try to manage what factors we can to make it work for everyone. Thanks for joining us! Nicholas, General Manager
