    A nice Japanese restaurant. Good food and good service. During the pandemic period in the past 2.5 years, we only ordered take out from them. So happy to enjoy a sit in dinner in a booth with family. Another visit, add more photos. Nice wine and good food. Like their booth seats.

    Drove by to try this sushi place first time. Nice vibes and very cozy atmosphere. Great selection of japanese dishes, and very nice service. Food came out pretty fast. The robot came to deliver our food twice. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Sashimi & sushi were fresh and yummy.

    Staff was friendly, service was good, attentive but they also gave us privacy to enjoy our meal. Although the sushi rolls tasted amazing, the sheer size may be a challenge for many. They are about 50% bigger than a 2 dollar coin. The size is really the only complaint other than the Gyoza was not hot (temperature) enough.

    Massive portions, impeccable presentation, delicious tastes, excellent service. I love surprises! I went here because I had time to pass while my son was at a birthday party. This has been excellent if not one of the best sushi places I’ve eaten at.

    Had a great first visit this weekend with friends- will definitely be back! Rolls are plentiful and huge. Tasted very fresh. Many different kinds of maki to try which was nice to see so there was something for everyone. Setting was quaint and clean. It was very busy for Saturday night, which was great to see! Drink selection was very good also. Some menu items were not available, but that didn't spoil our visit. Service was decent, all our servers were very friendly. Plenty of parking.

    This place is a local favourite for sushi in Aurora. The restaurant is usually very busy, so reserving a table is recommended! The restaurant itself is decorated in beautiful traditional Japanese faire, including traditional booths with curtains for dining in. The staff are lovely and attentive. Our server, Paul was absolutely amazing and tended to our every need. He checked in frequently to make sure our mains came after we finished our appetizers, which was super courteous of him! They also had some robot helpers, which was super cool! For the appetizers, we got lots of tempura, gyoza and Agedashi tofu. Everything was piping hot, delicious, and the sauces they came with were a lovely pairing. We ordered several salmon nigiri, the Orangeville Roll, and the Snow Crab Roll. All of it was SO fresh, melt-in-the-mouth and scrumptious. I highly recommend this place for your sushi cravings if you’re in Aurora! I will definitely come back from more, and I am eager to try their Takoyaki!

    We moved to the oak ridges area just over a year ago and have been trying the local restaurants to find a new replacement for our old favourite place. After trying 4 other restaurants this is definitely where we'll be making all our future orders from! The tempura was so incredibly crunchy and not greasy. The rolls were fresh with generous chunks of fish. And the nigiri had such a clean flavor and tasted so fresh. So happy we found our new go-to sushi place!

    1. The food was okay. 2. Staff was kinda rude/arrogant. I called ahead of time to ask for table and they told me they have, can just walk in. Then when we arrived the receptionist lady (i supposed) asked if we made any reservations, as if we didn’t we aren’t allowed to dine in - she emphasized multiple times on reservations. The restaurant was not even full, a lots of empty tables. 3. Washroom was out of toilet paper, asked them to restock seems like they don’t want to do the job, my kid has to hold on her pee/poo. 4. The entire time we were there only interacted with the servers no more than 4 times and it’s mandatory minimum 15% tips. 6. Overpriced food. For 12 dollars tempura I expects more than just 1 sweet potato, 1 broccoli, 1 small mushroom, 1 tiny slice of pumpkin, and 2 slices of bell peppers! Like seriously?

    This place is the best sushi restaurant in Aurora. I have lived here for 20 years and love sushi! Minami is the best place for sushi after trying several places throughout the years. The food is amazing, fresh fish, even their uni is fantastic and fresh. Cooked food is really good too and great variety. May options for vegetarians, people who like cooked and raw food. Their friendly service is always excellent. I love there private booths and there serene quiet atmosphere. The restaurant is a bit expensive but totally worth it. Lunch specials are great too!

    Great food, very fresh and tasty, nice presentation. Clean environment - nice seating with private booths which cuts down on noise and allows easy conversation. Staff and service extraordinarily and genuinely friendly, commited to service and guest comfort. Reasonable prices and great value when adding up all the above
