Amazing food 🍱 Great Service
I haven't been here in a while. I was craving sukiyaki and I was not disappointed. My friend ordered the teriyaki salmon. Both dishes were amazing. I recommend this restaurant !!! Please support your local independent businesses.
Minato is a great spot for fresh, flavorful Japanese cuisine. The sushi and other dishes are well prepared, beautifully presented, and full of delicious flavors. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, while the service is friendly and attentive. A solid choice when you’re craving quality Japanese food in a comfortable setting!

Minato Japanese Restaurant in Japan town offers a variety of combo plates, with decently sized portions for around $20. The popular Dinner Box includes California roll, teriyaki chicken, and tonkatsu breaded pork cutlet, along with gyoza. The sesame dressing is a standout. Known for excellent customer service and quality food, it remains a favorite spot in San Jose. This family-owned restaurant has been a staple for a long time, serving great food at very reasonable prices. While it may not have Japanese hamburger, the tonkatsu satisfies cravings for authentic Japanese cuisine. Customers appreciate the friendly staff and the nice atmosphere, making it perfect for lunch or dinner. Some have noted that parking can be tough, but the food is worth it. The hamachi is fresh and buttery, and while the tempura may be a bit disappointing, the overall experience is very affordable.
