Inside, you will find a sushi bar, tables and booths. The restaurant is small, but so cozy. THE FOOD: For starters, we had the chicken dumplings, small , soft and flavorful 4/5. We then ordered the sunset roll 5/5 which was refreshing and well rolled. Our entrees, came with miso soup 4/5 not salty like most tend to be, and with a good ratio of tofu and seaweed. I had the chicken teriyaki bento box, but switched the tempura veggies for rice. incredible 5/5. With the bento box, youre able to have a little of everything (sushi, gyoza, salad, your protein of choice and the tempura veggies or rice) but still end leaving full, not to mention the presentation is cute and functional. My husband tried the Oyako Don and while it doesnt sound like much on the description (chicken, rice, carmalized onions and omelet on top), this dish is heavy, flavorpacked and so good! THE SERVICE: Service is always great, the waitress will sit you, take your order, and check up on you regularly.

Packet with flavor, creamy crispy slightly spicy shrimp was a star dish for me. We almost ordered another plate of it. All in all this place is worth every cent. I cannot wait to be back!

They also offer a really nice variety of menu options, so there's always something new to try. While they do accept walk-ins, I highly recommend making a reservation because it can get busy. The servers are very knowledgeable about the menu and always happy to help guide your selections. From the moment we were seated, we were warmly greeted and our server remained attentive throughout our entire visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain the evening's specials and was genuinely enthusiastic about highlighting the sushi featured on the specials menu. There wasn't a single item we ordered that we wouldn't get again. We also had the chance to come for their Valentine's Day special, which was a prix fixe menu, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everything felt thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. Overall, it's one of our favorite sushi spots in the area and we always look forward to coming back.

Service was slow as trying to pour molasses in wintertime, and since our server wanted to take orders without writing anything down, one of our meals got forgotten til we asked for it and didn't come til everyone else was half done. Zero attention payed to plating. Ambiance is non existent here. Bare tables and walls, a half burnt out TV on one wall playing a K-Pop rap battle show, and that's it.

The buffet is well laid out with separate sections for hot foods, seafood, sushi, desserts, and ice cream, so it's easy to navigate. The seafood selection included lobster, and the sushi bar offered a large variety with plenty of options to choose from. The staff was efficient, and the food was replenished quickly, so nothing sat empty for long. Everything was well organized and made for an enjoyable dining experience. If you're looking for a buffet with a wide selection and attentive service, Minato is definitely worth a visit.

I was pleasantly surprised this second time. Came on Saturday around 8ish and it was very busy. The food tasted so much better this time.

I don't think the quality of the food is worth the amount of money you pay for, since there are better quality buffets around.

The starter omakase runs about $68. It was around seven courses plus dessert, and honestly, every dish pulled its weight. Bonus points to the server, who gave clear, thoughtful explanations. Menu-wise, don't expect a parade of rolls they're clearly nudging you toward the omakase experience. But if that's the goal, they're doing it right. All in all, a really enjoyable meal and one I'd happily circle back to, next time to explore more of the menu.

This spot is located in an unassuming shopping center where a Nicklaus building is, which is perfect for when you're in the mood to keep a low profile. It's a small, intimate restaurant with counter top seating and a few tables. From the moment we walked in, the folks chopped it up with us and made jokes, which is great because it broke the ice in a way that felt like you were amongst friends. Excellent service all around. We sat at one of the tables as we intended to do a lot of talking and didn't want to be noisy at the counter. We decided to take the recommendation of the staff and did the omakase express option and a sake sampler pairing with three different kinds. No notes here because everything was great, there were several "MMMM!" moments (wish I remembered what each bite was!) and the first sake we got (pictured) was fantastic. Would definitely buy it to have at home. Big shout out to Allie, who covered our table on her first day, was very cool and definitely helped steer the dinner in the right direction. If you're in the Doral area and in the mood for some quality Japanese, definitely stop by here!
