Over 40 years historic traditional Japanese restaurant vibe with cute decorations and photos by entrance. Very popular local Japanese restaurant for lunch and dinner. Strongly recommend the bar for dining alone or small group. Fast and experience services and very delicious food. Pretty thick portion sashimi and chirashi sushi.

Absolutely LOVE this place! They have the best sushi. Service is wonderful as well. This is such a hidden gem, I am lucky to have stumbled upon it! Be sure to check their hours, they are kinda funky. They can get busy, but if there is a wait I promise you it is worth it!! The bar is always fun to sit at as well! The ambience is casual and intimate

We were craving for sushi and decided to try this well-established restaurant that has been around for 30+ years. It was a very cute place tucked behind a shopping plaza. For appetizers we got the shrimp teriyaki and the Kara-Age chicken, which was the perfect starter while we waited for our entrees. For entrees we got the salmon sashimi, spicy tuna roll, caterpillar roll and the sukiyaki dinner. The sukiyaki dinner came with salad, miso soup and a bowl of rice. The salmon sashimi was extremely fresh and melted in my mouth. The servings were very generous and we did not leave hungry. The owner/staff were very nice and treated us like family.

The chirashi don here cannot be beat and worth every dollar. They give a generous serving for their chirashi don - you won't walk out feeling hungry after. And the fish they use here is super fresh!

The sushi is sooooo GOOD! Best fresh fish I have had in Georgia!! I grew up eating sushi in Hawai'i and I was scared to try another sushi restaurant in Georgia but this was great!! Love this hole in the wall restaurant, family owned and operated. Knocking down a star only because it took 1 whole hour to get our food (we only ordered what is shown in the picture). We understand that it's family operated and their staff is limited, so we suggest going in as soon as they open or else you'll get stuck waiting to be seated or waiting super long for your food (take into account we went in for dinner on a Friday). Teriyaki chicken was okay, we were not the biggest fan of the dish. Our opinion, it was not worth the price for the quality and portion. But will definitely be coming back when I get a sushi crave!!

This was my 2nd time at Minato and I'm pleased both times. They are accommodating and gave great suggestions. I gave them 5 stars because of the following: 1. location: close to where I live so awesome there. 2. Price: rolls are roughly $12-16 per specialty roll, but the portions are larger than other restaurants 3. Service: they are always phenomenal. 4. Setting: I love the authentic Japanese decor with the wooden bridge and pond in the middle of the restaurant. Overall, I will definitely be back.

Right when you walk in, you know you're in a good, authentic, quality sushi restaurant. The seating here is great, my friend and I sat in a little booth/box which was walled off, making it a great, almost private dining environment. We got the Chirashi & Tekka-Don bowls, which each came with a soup and salad. This place is definitely on the pricier side - Chirashi was $36 and the Tekka Don was in that range as well. Growing up with my dad as a sushi chef, I'm very particular about where I choose to consume raw fish. I can say that I felt all the sushi was fresh & I wasn't worried about the raw fish. I love trying new things, & I do love some good sushi, however towards the end of my bowl I was definitely wishing I could've picked my fish as I didn't love anything and felt bad wasting. Overall - this is a great place to check out for some authentic & fresh sushi, however be prepared to pay a pretty penny!
