  • This small, cosy restaurant offers a wonderful experience of Asian cuisine. The food was top quality, fresh seafood and rice was used and the portions were very generous. Sushi was tasty and the roses were absolutely deluxe. I think the price of individual dishes and platters was pretty reasonable. We also had the Sakura cocktail which was great. To end off the night we had hot chocolates. We were helped by friendly staff. The restaurant also stocks Asian items which we bought - some sweets, ramen, bubble tea, fortune cookies. I will definitely be back for more.

  • I had an incredible sushi experience at this gem in Cape Town! The taste is simply amazing, and the freshness of the fish sets it apart. Each bite was a delight, and the variety of rolls offered made the experience even better. The attention to detail in preparation is evident. If you're a sushi enthusiast, this place is a must-try. A culinary journey that left my taste buds thoroughly impressed! I will definitely come back again, probably today

  • Great sushi and excellent value for money. The fish portions are generous, with really big, fresh pieces in the sushi. Consistently good quality and a fantastic option for takeaway. One of my go-to spots for sushi.

  • This is my go-to Sushi place in Cape Town. The quality is amazing and the prices are affordable. The service has also improved a lot since my first visit a year or two ago, the staff are fast and nice. The only thing that I would say needs improvement is the music. In my opinion the music is extremely repetitive and kind of annoying with it all being catchy pop songs from 10 years ago. Other than that, this place is an absolute gem.

  • Cosy and authentic restaurant. The food looks and tastes delicious. They serve the classic, well-known combinations as well as some who are more original and creative. Less expensive than other sushi restaurants I found in South Africa. Inside their small restaurant are also some shelves where typical Japanese products are stored to sell. Overall, the staff was nice, we had great drinks and food, and a lovely evening. I would definitely recommend this place for a sushi lunch or dinner.

  • Minato Sushi proves that great things come in small packages! This little shop is truly dynamite, offering a memorable dining experience that is absolutely worth the money you pay. The ambiance and the food quality were both fantastic. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, making it clear that the price is justified by the standard of the cuisine. However, the true highlight of our visit was our waitress, Lushia. Her service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and highly professional. She genuinely elevated the entire meal. The only minor note was the Durian mochi(take away - purchased frozen), which was admittedly quite overpowering in flavor. But even this small point doesn't detract from the fact that Minato Sushi is a fantastic spot we can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended!
