What Tee L doesn't like about Minato Japanese:
WOW, not in a good way. I'm a regular (no more), who ever is that temporary replacement host/cashier is a#!hat, if that is permanent good luck with business. I've been coming here for over two years, the ladies are super nice, friendly, and try to remember the regulars orders, not once had a problem, till now. Placed my order as usual, and ended up with not my usual. When I attempted to straighten out what happened,... View all feedback. What User likes about Minato Japanese:
The Japanese Bento and dinner at this restaurant are excellent. Although they are not currently open for dine-in service, a staff member will greet you at the door to take your order. The food is delicious and the restaurant is very busy. I highly recommend supporting this local business. View all feedback.

Wonderful value. Food is great. Very local. Only negative is the parking. But, always managed to get a spot. Beer is served ice cold.

Minato has by far the best karaage chicken I've ever tasted. The batter is so crisp and flavorful. The chicken, so juicy. Pair it with grilled salmon, and you'v...

A bargain and generous portions! Take-out only during the pandemic. Some interior remodeling is on-going.

Food is great. Karaage chicken plate is only $7. Service is friendly but slow. Waited 15 minutes for my take out order.
