Minami Japanese - Sedona

I try to be honest with my reviews.. Service here is excellent!! Husband and wife own the place. Only 5-6 tables and small menu selection. Yes, they have the basics but I just wasn't impressed overall. The food is good, just not spectacular. I was expecting so much more based on recommendations.

The owners, Gina and Yoshi, provide wonderful service and make you feel right at home, almost like you’re in their own kitchen. However, this restaurant is not fancy, so if you’re in search of upscale ambiance, extravagant rolls, and fancy cocktails, this isn't the spot for you. But if you're looking for straightforward, fresh, and delicious sushi or sashimi, along with an appetizer, paired with some hot sake or a Sapporo, then you will absolutely enjoy this place.

Excellent and fresh food, rolled to a perfect eating size, pleasant atmosphere with a view and fun to talk with the engaging owner who has been there 30 years :

Food is just ok. The rolls were cut so big I would’ve been chewing for an hour if I put the whole thing in my mouth they fell apart as soon as I tried to pick them up. Spicy salmon California rolls $10/ea) had no flavor at all. Edamame was cold when served. It was all pretty bland. There is only one waitress she’s slammed so don’t expect any conversation or suggestions. I just moved to Sedona a few months ago but I doubt I’ll be back.

So incredible. This chef has GongFu! Totally authentic, amazingly tasty. Don't disrespect this guy, his game is strong, his cat pics are sublime.
