Minato Japanese - San Jose

As always, good comfort food, friendly staff. thank you again.

The best Japanese food! I live in socal now, but always I have to repair my every time when I am in sj! gene, joanne and the entire staff are efficient, fun and make them really welcome. it's a Japantown icon!

It takes determination to come here, to park a block away and to fly through the constriction. there is Dine-in option, but they must be absolutely in every take-out order if only to be friendly while they are open two hours to lunch. we've settled down today, but we'll call soon!

New in the opposite, but known for years minato thanks to the late, great anthony bourdain. ordered a dinner box and combination, both came perfectly prepared, and it is a great deal regarding eating for owners and personal are super friendly, it will be a regular place!

This is one of my favorites in the Bay Area, located in the San José Japantown area. Delicious food, a simple menu and great value in a warm, family run atmosphere. It really reminds me of restaurants I visited in Japan that specialize in a certain type of food, keep it simple, and do it very well. Today I had the lunch special: chicken teriyaki, tempura, and tuna sashimi with rice, salad and soup for $14.25! So much food! The tuna was super fresh and tempura delicious. For the special you also have other options (choice of 3 for lunch; dinner has 4 choices and is a little more . They also have udon, donburi and basic sushi rolls. Don’t come here expecting super fancy rolls or presentation… just enjoy the great fare and friendly service from the husband and wife team. ?
