Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Yaletown, Minami follows the pioneering footsteps of its sister restaurant, Miku, in delivering the innovative dining experience of Aburi cuisine to Vancouver's thriving food scene. Each piece of sushi is flame-seared using a blowtorch and binchotan (oak charcoal), resulting in sushi with a smoky aroma and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

    We were there for Christmas Eve dinner and right away got a bad impression from the host who sat us. Really poor attitude. In fact, the overall vibe was that no one really wanting to be working that night so it definitely was not a festive atmosphere. Our server was nice and efficient but not overly friendly. We very much enjoyed our first dish which was the wagyu beef carpaccio. Delicious. The next two dishes made us feel slightly ill and that feeling stayed with us the rest of the night. We were disappointed in both the food and the feeling that no one really wanted to be there. We were very happy to pay the bill and leave.

    Our server Kim was absolutely delightful in getting our lunch orders and offering dish suggestions. Her diligence in service was quite extraordinary making sure we always had water and tea and all was well. We will certainly be coming back and we hope to get Kim as our server again.

    The bartender was great as usual, but once we moved to our table the service became terrible. We often had empty/dirty plates sitting on our table for a long time, our server didn't come by often at all so we were always waiting on a drink. One of my friends never got her drink order at all and the server also spilled water all over our table at one point (I get accidents happen but it was just the cherry on top of overall bad service).

    The first time I went in 2022, I was impressed by the quality of food at Minami. However, this time in 2024 - the food is not as good and not worth the price.
