Minato Sushi Reviews
Great Sushi and lots of fun.
Friendly perfectionist with Sushi & Sake
If you’re ANYWHERE NEAR HERE… GO!👍😜
Been going for years …the best …and I live in Newport Beach where they supposedly have these fancy , schmatnzy places . They don’t hold a candle to Minato. James the owner , Roberto , Angie , Judy, Barbara have been working here for years …super high quality and beyond reasonably priced . Salmon and yellowtail are like butter…so fresh🍣 . Killer no rice rolls like sashimi roll with soy paper and lake forest roll wrapped in cucumber.

Minato Sushi is a popular sushi restaurant that has been a favorite for many diners over the years. The restaurant offers a variety of sushi dishes, including shrimp rolls, salmon sashimi, and the highly praised bluefin tuna. Customers can also enjoy other Japanese specialties like udon noodles and jasmine tea. While the quality and portion sizes have been noted to decline in recent years, the restaurant remains a popular destination for sushi lovers, particularly for those who have been loyal customers for many years. The restaurant's atmosphere has been described as feeling worn out, with old furniture and a general sense of being run down. However, Minato Sushi is still considered a friendly place that is enjoyed by locals, with a well-curated sake selection and the option to watch sports on TV while dining. The restaurant also offers gluten-free soy sauce and other dietary accommodations, making it a suitable choice for those with dietary restrictions.
