    Cool wall decor

    We found ourselves having lunch at Minato Sushi again; when our 4-person party approached the host's podium and were shown our table, I noted the restaurant wasn't too busy yet, so the host was able to comfortably seat us at a corner table. Once we received our round of drinks, we ordered a round of appetizers like the C.C., fried gyoza and baked mussels. Afterwards, we ordered some sushi like the mountain, King Kong, the Crunch Roll, a few habdrolls like the salmon skin and spicy tuna, and a few nigiris like the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. All the food tasted delightful and the portions were just right. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and look forward to our next visit.

    pork katsu
    Raymond L.

    This is a new Japanese restaurant to me, I usually go ti a different restaurant in this same strip mall. You literally have to know how to arrive at this restaurant because it's location is tucked around a side one wouldn't think to go. Being I next to never go out of my way for ramen, this is a new experience for me. I wanted a simple tonkatsu ramen but the curry katsu ramen caught my eye instead. It was truly glorious, the taste was very appealing to me, it was not at all spicy but very good Japanese curry flavoring. The ramen noodles itself was abundant but a little disappointing for me, kinda of a eh feeling, I guess I've had so much ramin my earlier days that it really didn't do anything for me. The pork katsu was good but a little dry for me. Do ask for the katsu sauce , definitely makes a difference in enhancing the pork katsu. Yum none the less!

    Spicy Sesame Ramen

    My brother and I was really craving noodles and saw this place has ramen. I wanted to try it since we were in the area and it sounds so good on a cold, chilly day. When we went inside, there was another group that was waiting for a table. Shortly after they were seated, someone finally greeted us and got us a table. They got our drink orders and gave us the menu. It took them a bit to come back to us and take our food orders. We ordered: - Spicy Sesame Ramen: This was not spicy even though it was very red in color. The ramen was a bit too soft for my liking. The pieces of meat were good though. - Curry Katsu Ramen: Tasted like exactly like curry. The Katsu came on a separate plate and it was very dry. I think it should have came with a sauce. On a different occasion, my friend and I came here for their all you can eat sushi. The sushi was also average and they have limits on certain things on the menu. Overall, the food and service were average. If I had the choice, I would not come here because there are so many other places to choose from.

    Spicy Ramen
    Todd E.

    Full disclosure, I did not try the sushi aspect, I went on a cold night and got the spicy ramen. It was really good and the pork slices were delicious, it really hit the spot! I made the mistake, however, of adding shrimp which turned out to be a mess since they come in whole form (head, shell, legs) and so the ramen broth went everywhere trying to break it down. So don't make my mistake. Service is friendly, ambiance is a just okay - floors looked like run down concrete. But despite that, I will def go back anytime for the ramen!

    Nigiri salmon and cracker roll
    Marissa V.

    One of my favorite sushi spots for nigiri The service was great this young man was very attentive kept coming by asking if we needed anything I enjoy the food Everytime I go. I have not really tried the ramen but now that the cold weather is coming around I think it's time. So I will update my review on that later on . Nigir salmon 100% amazing . Must try the c.c appetizer as well.

    Came back again to enjoy some ramen. Today's order was crazy man's ramen but instead I requested udon noodles. This combo is perfect for me! I got the number 5 spicy and it is VERY spicy; and I can handle spice. My wife ordered the black garlic sesame ramen, broth was delicious. Place is clean as usual. No issues. I have came here numerous times and I have to say, the food is really good. The only issue we had today was the service. Our male server was not very attentive. After dropping off the food, never came to check on us UNTIL I got attention from female waitress. After the female helped us, he then decided come over to ask if everything was okay. I told him "no because she's got it." I have seen him numerous times and every time we get him, it's always me having to hunt him down to even just get a water refill or our check. We might have to start requesting servers at this point. Food is a 4. Service today: 2.

    Food was pretty good, we were there around 4, so wasn't busy, friendly service was good. Food was good.

    Black garlic ramen
    jon s.

    Mixed veggie tempura was crunchy and the veggies was well cooked. The crazy dragon roll taste good and great value for the price. Loved the black garlic ramen it was awesome! Soup not too garlicky, not salty, the noodles was cooked well and the pork was tender with a little smokey taste. Service was great we was greeted when we came in and got our order pretty fast. The place is cozy, chill and clean.

    This is a one and done for me for AYCE. Edit- one roll tastes like another is accurate. We probably should have read the reviews before we went. I'm glad I tried it to knock it off my list but I don't have a reason to go back. If you try it, keep your expectations low. You might be good getting a single roll to go. Maybe it was an off night. Atmosphere is kinda warm and cozy for the location but it was freezing inside. I had to bring in an extra jacket for my friend who got a table for us. It was a beautiful spring day today. One of our servers was Joseph and we didn't really see him too much. He didn't appear to have much interest and we waited a bit longer than we do at other places for our order sheet to get picked up. The rolls *were* made rather quickly and he did name each roll when they were delivered. That's helpful. They looked good but we didn't get much follow up on if everything *was good*, offers to take empty plates etc and no drink refill for my friend. All the plates we got were taken right before we left when we got the check. We thought we ordered 6 long rolls (we forgot to take one off and ordered 7). The guys making the rolls read the sheet pretty well as we didn't have any mistakes but the various fish, crab mix, even crystal shrimp were flavorless. The strongest flavor was the garlic mayo which we subbed for spicy mayo on a few rolls. The fried scallops on the Rainbow Blossom were very tasty though. We did our best to get through them (The Spider came when we were ready to leave) but we weren't going as fast as we hoped. Sometimes when we think we will have a few pieces left, both being from that "don't waste food generation" we'll ask about taking them and every place has been good about it even if the answer is a "sorry, no". We expect a no and if we get one, they're nice about it. This was honestly the first time we got a snarky "no" and nothing else from Joseph. It took us both aback but fit the disinterested vibe we had already been experiencing. It was almost joyful for him? The girl who was helping him was very nice though. The Spider came as we were getting ready to leave. Since we didn't cross it out, we tried to eat it because we felt bad but the soft shell crab they used was joint meat. It would have been better if we had crossed it off as we had intended. Overall, I think there are enough options for sushi in town that you won't miss skipping it. If you want to pick up a roll for a TOGO lunch, the Rainbow Blossom and the Crunch are tasty enough. The Spider is a "must miss" as the quality is meh. The others could be any other roll and you couldn't really tell the difference.

    8/30/2025. Trying for first time. Ordered calamari rings, The mountain and King Kong. Calamari was descent and the King Kong was good. But The mountain was just a tiny hill, small portions and plain flavor. Also for both rolls they gave me the tiniest portion of wasabi, smaller than a dime. Very dissatisfied with this place and will not recommend to anybody

    Various nigiri pieces
    Bob S.

    Had lunch here. Good size restaurant with not many people. You can sit at the sushi bar or at a table. You must wait to be seated. Very quick professional service. I ordered the all you can eat sushi. Which was reasonably priced for lunch. I first ordered the miso soup, cucumber salad and edamame. Each was a good size and quite flavorful. I then orded 10 nigiri sushi pieces. They were half the size of most places two pieces for each order but it was perfectly sized to dip, fresh and very tasteful. If I'm in the area again I would definitely return.

    Tempura udon
    Sophie R.

    We wanted some warm noodles on a cold Reno 3-day weekend, and someone suggested Minato Sushi and Bar. I ordered the tempura udon and was treated to a tasty broth with delicious udon noodles. The tempura was lightly battered and the veggies underneath had a nice soft crunch. The prawn was perfectly cooked. We ordered by phone and our order was ready within 20 minutes. Fast and efficient. If you are looking for a warm lunch or dinner, be sure to check out their udon. I only wish they had more vegetarian-friendly options especially in broths.

    Makenzie C.

    This is an okay sushi restaurant. Quick lunch service with a good menu. The fish was fine - not my favorite thickness of salmon. The rice was a little too much for me especially on the nigiri. The service was also okay. It was busy so I understand the speed but it was difficult to get another paper to order with and it was difficult to get drink refills and dessert. There is plenty of seating and was packed with local white collar folks - so they definitely have a following. I just have my favorite place and I think once you find one you love it's hard to go somewhere else!

Thai Chili has far better flavors, and is rated lower. The wait staff/food runners lacked politeness, and never checked if we enjoyed our food or needed anyone. Sans the person filling everyone's water, we were never checked on in any other capacity. The restaurant was a cacophony of noise and conversation, I had to lean across the booth to have any chance of hearing my companion. The noise level is overwhelming if you have sensory issues at all. The decor is pretty cool.

The miso black cod is always flaky and delicious. And the crab fried rice it's nestled on also never disappoints. The rich New Zealand stir fried lamb and shiitake mushrooms over pea shoots was a fabulous hearty dish on this chilly March evening. The braised short ribs were so tender no knife was needed, they flaked apart with the fork. And the e mein noodles were perfectly al dente.
