" Lunch at Minato was a delightful revelation. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and I could taste the care in each dish. The only negtive was portion size relative to what I'd expected based on the price. But the quality helps make up for it. I'm looking forward to trying their famous drinks next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dishes are well-prepared and represent a nice fusion of flavors. I enjoyed the unique selections on the menu, but a couple of items came out lukewarm. The service here is friendly, yet they seem understaffed at times, causing delays. All in all, I had a pleasant time and would consider another visit to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Considering the buzz surrounding Minato Izakaya, I had to check it out. The food was indeed delightful with nice flavors, but not every dish stood out as authentic — particularly the California rolls felt like they missed the mark. The ambiance is cozy, making it a nice spot for a date night. However, service was a bit slow, and we found ourselves waiting longer than expected for our check. I might give it another chance, but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Minato after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is small but offers a cozy dining experience. I was particularly charmed by the outdoor area which looked beautiful. The sushi I tried was fresh and flavorful, but don’t skip the mochi for dessert! Worth every penny for quality and service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, the food tasted amazing, and you can definitely tell they pay attention to the quality of ingredients. The atmosphere is very serene, perfect for a dinner. However, I experienced a lengthy wait for my food which did take some enjoyment out of it. Despite that, I would return to try their different sushi offerings next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a surprise to find such a gem in the Bronx! From the sushi rolls to the sake, everything was simply delicious. I could truly feel the authenticity in their offerings. The cozy atmosphere topped it all off, and the friendly staff helped create a welcoming environment. Can't wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an incredible experience at Minato Izakaya recently. I was taken by the elegant decor and the serene ambiance — perfect pairing for a sushi dinner! The staff was kind and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was exquisitely fresh; I highly recommend the shrimp tempura and avocado rolls which were divine! Our evening ended on a high note with the mochi ice cream for dessert. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
