I didn't realize they closed for lunch at 2. We got there at 1:50. I offered to leave and not sit down when I realized they were about to close. The waitresses said "absolutely not, lets get some food in yall!" and sat us. She didn't rush us. She was patient and kind. 10 minutes before closing, she should of sent us away(which i would of completely understood)but instead was so inviting. Her name was April. Food was great too!

If you can get through the parking lot to the building without loosing a wheel, you have made it to some great food. Like others have said, don't let the exterior steer you away. Our server Noel did a fine job keeping up with our needs and wants. Our appetizer was great. Our dinner was made with love. The food was great tasting, and service was great. Price is up there a bit but worth every penny. Hopefully you will get parking lot repaired soon.

DO NOT LET THE OUTSIDE FOOL YOU. We drove by here two days ago and commented on the appearance of the building by saying it looks like it's been there a while. Two days later we find ourselves back in Ozark and low and behold eating here. We went with the reviews on Yelp! and not with first impressions. All I can say is I'm glad we did. We got an order of pan fried gyoza that was absolutely delicious and is definitely in our top five we've had. I had the Spicy Yaki Udon for my entree and, wow, it was fantastic. There was so much to it other than noodles I could not finish it all. It had chicken, steak as well as shrimp (which were grilled to perfection) in it with carrots, onions and cabbage for the vegetables. The wife actually stopped eating her sashimi, that was fresh and cold, and ate some of my plate. She has never liked Udon before and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The food took a few minutes to arrive at the table but it was well worth the wait. The server was very attentive to our needs and kept our glasses full of tea. We will definitely make the hour drive back down here to share a plate of Udon!

Me and my family enjoy the great food at Minako. My absolute favorite is the Spider Roll. Truly a great experience with authentic fresh food prepared at the time of being ordered.

The good:The food was EXCELLENT! The sweet tea was just as amazing. The portions were well worth the money and plated nicely.The bad:The server could have been more attentive considering there were not many customers. It is almost in the middle of nowhere. At 7 pm on a Saturday I expected more people to be there. It made me reluctant to stay.The ugly:The parking lot needed attention as it was dilapidated and the building wasn't far behind. There was a HUGE area on the ceiling of the women's bathroom that was covered in black mold. Had I gone in the bathroom first I wouldn't have eaten there.The food definitely outweighed the bad and ugly.

I NEVER thought I'd see the day where I could get GOOD sushi in Ozark, but BOY! The sushi and food are fantastic! And the waitress we've had each visit is a complete joy. If you want some quality Asian cuisine and are looking for some GOOD sushi, PLEASE give this place a visit!

Third time eating here and each experience has been exponentially worse. The staff is unfriendly and the food is sub par. This last experience will be having the health department called on them.

Food and atmosphere were amazing!!! Everything was fast and friendly!!! Our server, Celeste really went above and beyond. I saw her parking a boat out back when we arrived and didn't think much of it, until we were seated and she was deboning fresh caught fish.The drinks were colder than a polar bears toes. The food came out hotter than Shakira in 2006.10/10 I'd come back.

Everyone was polite. Food came quickly and was delicious. But the server Celeste was AMAZING. She checked on us often, made sure everything was correct with our order, she went all the way out to the closest ocean and caught our fish FRESH! I watched her scale it and debone it in front of me! When it was time to leave we unfortunately had a flat and she lifted my car with her bare hands and changed my tire! She really goes above and beyond. Amazing service!!!!

Spent 2 hours in here. Only to just get sushi and some crab ragoons. Before the waitress put them down I tried saying we just want to pay for the sushi. Had already told one of the ladies, and this waitress said sorry it touched the table. Terrible service, terrible customer service never again. Now I’m starving and pissed. On top of that everyone else was getting their food, & appetizers before us. It was chaos. When we came in there was only 2 other families, that should be noted.
