What people say about Minato Japanese Restaurant
The regular reviews often mention Minato Japanese restaurant as being a reliable Japantown restaurant rather than a flashy sushi restaurant. The customers enjoy the fast and friendly service provided at the restaurant, the freshness of the sashimi, and the warmth of the Japanese meals served at a reasonable price. Reviews indicate a return to this establishment for many years or getting some food before going to see the Sharks play their games. The small dining space gets crowded, and you may have to wait during lunch or dinnertime.
About Minato Japanese Restaurant
Since 1957, Minato Japanese Restaurant has been serving San Jose Japantown and to date is still a family-owned and operated establishment. It offers a combination of dishes from the sushi, sashimi, tempura, teriyaki, and small plates categories, thus being suitable for both a casual lunch and a Japanese dinner experience.
Its unique feature is not related to fancy dishes but rather to traditionality and consistency. Along with sashimi and other cooked dishes on the menu, you can find hiyayakko, sunomono, agedashi tofu, gyoza, and simple rolls, providing diners with a wide choice without converting the menu into something fusion.
In case a person is looking for an old Japanese restaurant in San Jose, Minato will be of particular interest, as it has not moved away from its environment too much. The restaurant operates rather limited hours; thus, it is useful to check the current lunch and dinner menu beforehand.
