My girlfriend and I went here for dinner and it was good, not great, but good. The place: The restaurant itself was very clean and well-kept. It was super quiet which made it a little uncomfortable at times. The food: The yakiniku was a little dry but everything else was on par. I tried the spicy chicken teriyaki and was pleasantly surprised. It had a good balance of sweet, tanginess and a small kick. The service: The manager came out to wish a happy birthday to the family at the table next to us so its apparent that she cares about her customers. But given our waitress was relatively new, she didnt seem all that welcoming. The overall experience/value: Our dinner was at a decent price and we enjoyed our time there; but like I said above, it wasnt fantastic. Return?: Theres a small chance that we would given the amount of Japanese/Chinese restaurants in the area.

Love LOVE the new management and chef at this local sushi-spot. They have taken creative right over the edge. If you can get past blushing over some of the dishs names ;) You are in for an even sexier taste experience. My faves: From the appetizers menu: Screaming O (oh yes - it IS pretty darned close) Poki Salad From the maki menu: (ALL of them, perfect ratios: perfect texture) James Bond Crazy, and Laura-Abby Minamis Specials (I dare you to try and NOT order from here habitually.) Tasty Ex ;) yup - you WILL keep going back for more. Hell Roll Wasabi Lemon Tuna - fresh and BRIGHT, beyond what you might imagine. SUSHI SANDWICHES - OMG!!, and Summer No - I dont work, but if I did... よく食べる Yoku taberu

We have been to Minami a few times over the last couple of months. Twice to eat in and once to carry out. Both of our experiences eating in were great. The sushi was prepared in an expected amount of time, the service was great, and the price was fair. On our second visit, we had 6 people and the service was again great and the food was just as good - we even got an extra roll (on the house). Carryout is quick and painless. I am surprised that more people dont come to sit down. If youre in the area, stop by and try it out. We liked it better than SushiYa and its got a lot more room to sit and have a meal.

It was my first time here and saw a small cockroach in the wall of the dining room which makes me wonder how clean is that kitchen? How big of an infestation do you need to have in the kitchen so that cockroach ends up in the dining room? I really appreciated the variety in vegetarian food, but I dont think Ill be going back. Not only because of the cleanliness issue, but because there was no pride in the food they served and no delicacy, which is the staple of Japanese cuisine. I had the salmon and it was dry. There was no respect for the ingredients used to prepare that meal.

The food quality was good. Its you average sushi place. Not too bad, but nothing that really stands out. Interestingly enough, on a Friday evening, about 7pm, we were the only people in the place. On 2 separate occasions people walked in for a carry out during our 45 minute stay, but nobody came in to sit down and eat. That is very odd, considering that this should be their busiest time. It took a while to prepare the caterpillar roll and the minami special that we ordered. But the service was good and the price was reasonable. Id definitely come back.

Very nice place. Awesome staff!!! Always attentive and polite. Sushi is some of the best and high quality with reasonable prices. Love the king kong roll. The waiter remembered us after two weeks which was great. Really really good sushi and high quality sashimi! The customer service makes the whole experience memorable. If i could i would give them 10 stars. I dont live close but every sunday my fiance and i drive from near ohare to this hidden gem.

My boyfriend and I went to this place on a whim since we both love sushi and seafood. This place was OUTSTANDING. Dont let the location or outside appearance fool you. The manager Alex personally took care of us getting our drinks and suggesting things on the menu. This place has the best crab Rangoon Ive ever had and the sushi rolls are all big and thick. The place itself was very clean and classy. I cant wait to go back!!

I went to Minami a few weeks back to try it out, and Im so glad I did! The sushi was fresh and delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, and the service was incredible! The manager Sarah came up to our table to introduce herself, and let us know that they now deliver! My boyfriend and I left feeling full, and happy. I cant wait to drop in again for some good eats. I highly recommend Minami for great food, at an affordable price.

Went her on Friday night with my daughter, for the 1st time. This place doesnt look like much on the outside, but looks can be deceiving. The staff is really friendly, and very helpful. A great selection of sake and Japanese beer. Great Sushi, with lots of variety, and many other types of food, for that person in your party that doesnt eat sushi.. Well be visiting again, every chance we get!

I went there today and it was fantastic. My father and I both had sushi and entrees with the Bento box options, we are both big eaters and it was more than enough food for the both of us. I have eaten at a lot of sushi places around Chicago but none have tasted as fresh as the sushi I ate at Minami. Really glad I chose this place and will definitely be going there again.

This place is no joke. You want great sushi, come here. I came in here on a whim about six months ago and now Im in here almost every week. The food is amazing and the service is great. I love that even though the food is crazy good the atmosphere is very casual. Its so nice that I can get the best sushi Ive had and still wear a T-shirt and joggers. Love you Minami!

Amazing Service & Food Apart of the first customer group that came literally right after remodeling was done. Great Dinner and Lunch sets. Nigiri is very fresh and specialty rolls are very tasty and creative. Love the music and atmosphere. Got to know a lot of the chefs and waiters by person which made the experience a lot more relaxed and enjoyable.

Love this place! We drive all the way from Palatine to eat here. The owner/manager is so sweet and really takes care of her customers. Youve gotta try the sweet crunch crab shrimp roll. Its amazing! If youre a spicy tuna fan, try the laura abby, my fiance loves it and hes a spicy tuna guy. Minami has great lunch specials - even on Saturday.

Friday night, 8 oclock, busy but they made sure myself and anybody waiting for a table was aware of how long it would be. Every single person was polite and courteous. Food was fresh and really good. Would definetly recommend! I had volcano and another spicy one that was great! Cant say enough good things about this place!

Went with my wife and 8 month old, and ordered the edimame and sushi deluxe dinner special. A lot of food for a little price. On another occasion in the past I ordered takeout. Both very positive experiences. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive and the sushi chef was welcoming. We will certainly be returning.
