The team servicing us was fantastic! Quick to respond and super attentive. The taste and quality of the food for what we paid on the other hand is what is driving my rating

Our best Japanese restaurant experience in Toronto. Superb food with innovative flavours and textures; delightful servers who are warm and welcoming; and well-paced service particularly for pre-theatre clients.

Thanks so much for the rating and review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the newest addition to our Oshi offerings. The Hotate Oshi, with truffle sauce and crispy tempura bits, has been a hit with guests and is the staff's new favourite as well. We look forward to hosting you and your guests again soon!

We ordered lots of stuff, during ordering the server didn’t write down the dishes we ordered, and insisted that he can remember all. Apparently he missed many dishes. And we were waiting there for 1 hour with no more food coming. The service is slow and not friendly, also no patience. Won’t recommend!
Minami Restaurant - TorontoResponded on February 28, 2025
Hi Faye, Thanks for sending your feedback. I'm really sorry to hear you had this outcome when you came and dined with us. It's surprising and I've followed up with the team to see what happened, as this isn't a common outcome for our team. I think I set the team up without enough support to be able to work patiently and calmly on a busier night. I'm sorry, this was my error. I'd love to discuss an opportunity to join us again, and I have some accommodation I'd like to provide for your next visit. Kindly e-mail me at nicholas (at) minamitoronto.com and we can work towards hosting you another time. Best regards, Nicholas, General Manager
