I went by myself on a Friday during lunch. They were very crowded however the waitress was nice enough and offered to seat me at the sushi bar even though I told her I would be ordering a bento box. You could tell the waitresses are very experienced and efficient. Considering how busy they were I was shocked how quickly my food arrived. They serve more tempura than other Japanese restaurants that I have dined at and the beef teriyaki was cooked very nicely. The interior is very clean and decorated authentic. I will definitely try the sushi next time however judging on how the bento box was I'm certain it will be stellar. read more

This place was great with sushi that wasn't overly priced. I'll admit, I don't expect service to be great when a big group of teenagers comes in so I'll give the benefit of the doubt that we weren't going to be mature. However, when we were tended to, service was as expected for a cool little sushi place. I would definitely come here again as it wasn't some overly loud, obnoxious sushi place like others in the valley are (if you're from the 818) but this definitely makes a great stop after the beach heading back to LA!

The only reason I submitted a three star rating is for the abundant size of the servings. The carpaccio was the best. The salmon hand roll not so good, the cut roll was huge. Even the soft shell crab appetizer was on steroids!!! I guess I am torn between quantity and taste. Wouldn't it be nice to have both? The sushi was good but not delicious! Service was very good. Ambience was just a basic eatery. I guess if I crave to eat a lot of fish, I'll go back but not for the taste. read more

This is the spot if I'm feeling for a bite of sushi but also maybe something else. I love that they have so many options for non-sushi items and also at a reasonable price. I got a beef teriyaki bowl here and it was hot fresh and enough for two meals! Plus my usual salmon skin hand roll which was delicious. The food overall is pretty good for the area and price. I've been coming to this spot for years and I've never had a bad meal. Service is polite and quick. They are pretty good about checking in a couple times during meals which I appreciate. The space is kind small but in a cozy way. I prefer to come by on weekends to avoid weekday lunch crowds, but they do have good lunch specials. Overall a pretty solid spot. read more

Minato Sushi is a great new spot to have on our sushi rotation list. The sushi here is extremely fresh, the portions are awesome, and the service friendly. My friend and I were craving sushi but wanted to try a new spot local to us. We found Minato on good ol Yelp and agreed that we would make the 15 minute drive out from our hiking spot for an early lunch. Minato is in a busy shopping center and we honestly drove right past it. It's unassuming and the signage doesn't pop out but also in fairness we just didn't look quick enough which is why we passed it. The inside is much cuter then the exterior. We walked in and were pleasantly surprised as it was spacious, clean, and welcoming. Service here is 5/5. Waitress and severs were very friendly. We were checked up on often and the food all came out impressively quick. It was nice that they had two sushi chefs behind the counter cranking out orders as by 12-ish it was starting to get busy. Everyone was very nice and I appreciated the hustle as they cleared plates and moved quickly. The sushi was a solid 4/5. Some dishes better then others, but all in all a really good meal. Plus the sushi was super fresh! Bonus points for the freshness and the stellar serving size of the nigiri. They have a really huge raw fish and sushi roll menu here that your bound to find something for everyone. I had the tuna delight appetizer/roll which was a 5/5. Love a good rice less roll. The tuna was tender and wrapped around the crabmeat with some spicy tuna it was the perfect bite. The "okay" bites were my spicy scallop roll and miso soup. The scallops (again) were super fresh. I just felt the flavor as so so. And the miso soup, while pretty traditional, wasn't as flavorful as some other spots. I liked it definitely just didn't love both. My friend said her nigiri and cucumber salad were delicious and overall we were very happy with our meals and the quality. Pricing is a bit above average. You do have to weigh that the nigiri slices were generous and the quality is there, but definitely not a deal. I had one fancy roll, one regular cut roll, and a miso soup. That ran me about $30 after tax. A little steep if you like ordering multiple fancy rolls. Also no lunch bento box specials on the weekend. Kind of a bummer as those are well priced and this was the first sushi spot that I noticed the lunch specials weren't all week long. My regular spots either have them all week long or add $2 more for weekends but at least they still honor the specials. Something I would suggest they think about here. Minato was a great sushi find in Thousand Oaks and if your in the area i would totally recommend giving this spot a try as it's cute inside, service was awesome, and sushi was overall pretty good. read more

SERVICE, AMBIANCE, BUSINESS ETIQUETTE, to name a few. We had not been to this place for a few years and wondered why, because it's actually very convenient for us. (We live in Santa Rosa valley). We arrived at Minato on Moorpark/Janss Road at approximately 7:30 pm last Saturday. We placed orders for drinks and sushi. Food was actually very good. However, Soon after our door arrived, the staff started announcing "last call" for food and drinks. Even though there was still a good 35 minutes to closing time. Some folks came in a few minutes later and they were turned away as "last call" and "closing soon". A few more minutes and the staff started flipping all chains upside down on all tables around us and spraying said tables and chairs with disinfectant. We just looked at each other in disbelieve. Needless to say, WE WILL NEVER GO BACK and caution others. Eat well. read more

My wife got the Hawaiian Poke Salad, and I got the Muzen Sashimi Roll. They tasted fine but portion was on the smaller side. My sashimi roll was basically a partially deconstructed spicy tuna roll with sashimi pieces on the side instead of on top of the roll.

The prices are a bit high but you get amazing portions, I left soooo full. The rolls are great too! The salmon onion was delicious. Very popular to add soy paper but we stuck with the seaweed. So much to try next time! Came on a Wednesday a little before opening and was sat in the first bunch. But the wait gets crazy!! So be prepared.

What a lovely experience coming here on a Friday night! I made a reservation online a couple hours…read morebefore we wanted to go at 6:30pm. Plenty of free parking in a massive lot with dozens of other stores and restaurants. It was decorated so cute and festive for the holidays. We started off with the tempura cauliflower as a starter and it was AMAZING! I typically don't like tempura but it was only very lightly breaded and seasoned sooo well. It gave it a delicious crunch with a perfectly cooked soft interior. We shared the sunset and poke rolls which were delicious, and got several nigiri pieces which all absolutely melted in our mouths. Stephanie was a fantastic waitress! She made several recommendations about the "additions" to put on the nigiri pieces - house made soy sauce, garlic ponzu, and lime zest. She even spoke up and offered an alternative suggestion to what we initially asked for telling us what the truly best pairings were for each fish. We SO appreciated her knowledge and care to make it the best experience for us! Q Sushi will become a staple whenever I'm back visiting the Thousand Oaks area!

We visited this sushi restaurant on a Friday evening with my friend. As soon as we walked in, the…read moresushi chef greeted us very politely and warmly. For a moment we had the feeling that the evening would be great. The place looked very clean and even a little bit glamorous, so we thought we had chosen a really good spot. Unfortunately, our impressions changed as soon as we started ordering. We ordered a salad, a sushi roll, and monkfish liver. The monkfish liver tasted so "authentic" that it felt like it had just been taken straight out of a can. It definitely did not taste like something that had been prepared in that kitchen. From the beginning to the end of our visit, we never received water. When we asked for wasabi and ginger, the waitress told us that they would bring it when the sushi arrived. We repeated our request for ginger, but the answer was exactly the same. When the roll finally arrived, it looked like someone might have started eating it yesterday and they simply decided to give it another chance today. It wasn't really sliced so much as it was spread across the plate. On the very edge of the plate there was a tiny bit of ginger and a tiny bit of wasabi. Both looked like they might have been borrowed from someone else's plate. When I looked at the waitress questioningly, she explained that if we wanted more wasabi and ginger, we could pay extra and they would bring more. I checked the rating later and somehow it has four stars. I'm giving it two stars -- and only because the sushi chef was very polite when we arrived and the place was clean inside.

I skipped breakfast and by the time I had time to eat it was lunch (1PM) and when I looked at Yelp…read moreto try something new these pictures looked appetizing and got me craving sushi. The establishment is kind of hidden in the corner next to the shell gas station and there is ample parking. As I was walking towards the front, I see a sign stating that they have a happy hour starting at 1 o'clock and it was 1259 so I was very excited to see what this look like especially for it being my first time here. This meant that I get to try a lot of new things and a lot more things. There is about 10 to 15 tables inside with different amounts of seating and since it was just my boyfriend and I and the lady gave us the choice to sit wherever then we chose a table with two seats but, had us move to the next one because she said that the two seat ones were for single people, especially because it was lunchtime. She refused to let us sit at the two person table ‍. We got several menus and a pencil with an ordering paper. She took our drink order and we started to explore the vast menu and it all looked great! (I love when they have pictures on the menu apart from descriptions) After she brought us waters, I asked her if the special menu was considered the happy hour menu and she said it's not happy hour yet and I said yes it is 1 o'clock and she looked at my boyfriends clock on his phone and apologized and brought the happy hour menu. I included the receipt so you can see that 4/5 rolls were happy hour pricing. The sushi chefs were 2 Hispanic men and the reason why I mention this was because I feel like most of my rolls had this "chili powder" that resembled Tajin on my rolls and that's what they called "spicy" half my rolls were supposed to be spicy tuna but the tuna itself was not spicy they just had this Tajin-like powder on top and to me it wasn't spicy at all and I also felt like it made those 2/3 rolls taste bland. My bf loves deep fried rolls so he opted to try the magic mtn and he loved it and I think I enjoyed the spider roll the most. Even the spicy tuna on the crispy rice was just regular tuna with no spice. We still thought it tasted good but we will maybe give it another try with different rolls next time. They have a punch card if you spend $50+ after I think 10 you get a free speciality roll. The chefs gave us a parting remark and we thanked them upon leaving for lunch. Our server was a little more cold but kudos to her for handling the whole restaurant by herself in an efficient manner as our food came out quick and we got water refills and she checked in on us while serving 5/6 other tables all by herself.

This place is a gem. The fish tastes genuinely fresh, the rice is on point (not mushy, not…read moreover-vinegared), and everything comes out looking clean and cared for. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. We tried a couple rolls and they were balanced--not just drenched in sauce to cover up mediocre ingredients. Portions felt fair for the price, and the menu has enough variety that you can keep coming back without getting bored. It's also a cozy, intimate little spot--perfect for a low-key sushi night. Service was friendly and attentive without hovering, and the timing between dishes was solid.

Great sushi at a reasonable price but they only take reservations for dinner, take out for lunch…read more The restaurant is really small but quaint and nice. I haven't been able to dine there in awhile due to the limited hours.
