About Minato Japanese Restaurant

Minato Japanese Restaurant offers authentic local and Japanese flavors, with 5-star dishes like shrimp tempura, butterfish, chicken karaage, and more. The family-friendly eatery has a peaceful atmosphere with soft music and great service. Located in a quiet spot with ample parking, it is known for comfort foods like chicken karaage and saba, perfectly seasoned and done right. The restaurant is a hidden gem that shares a lot with Fujiya Hawaii, where parking can fill up during peak times, but visitors can also enjoy mochi from the shop. The cozy spot is easy to miss since it is off the main road, but it’s worth discovering. The restaurant operates on Japanese hours, closing for lunch at 1:15PM and reopening later for dinner. Many regular customers visit for delicious dishes like butterfish and ribs, which are made with care, reminiscent of home-cooked meals. The menu features combo-style options, including Dinner Box, Combo Dinner, and Noodle Combo for $12.95, with choices like Udon, Soba, or Ramen, and a variety of "okazu" options, some with additional charges. The staff is friendly and patient, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere perfect for a quick meal or a leisurely visit. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible on the ground floor, and the single-stall restroom adds to the convenience. Overall, Minato Japanese Restaurant is a great place to enjoy authentic Japanese flavors in a quiet, welcoming environment.
