Always looking for a good Japanese restaurant in Toronto. The menu here is inventive. I would return for the food despite the extremely mediocre service. The main waitress was extremely inattentive and really contributed to a detraction of the experience. The service was saved by the young man on the reception desk who was working the tables in between welcoming guests. The space is the former Greek restaurant that was a staple in the entertainment district forever. The Japanese restaurant is a refreshing rework of the space. Making reservations was easy.

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

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
