About this business
Editorial fromYou might not notice tiny Minako as you walk by, and you certainly wouldn't expect to find an organic, home-style Japanese restaurant so sweet and well-intentioned on this dingy corner of the Mission. The mother (chef) and daughter…

Great Japanese The dishes were surprisingly prepared and one of my new favorite places. The soba noodles were just perfect and the sashimi was fresh. The food tasted like if you were in Japan!
Poor value for the money – Sorry to rain on the '5-star' parade going on around here, but for us, several reasons made Minako a definite "no-repeat" experience: 1.) While the lure of 'organic' does imply SOMEWHAT higher prices, the pricing is highly unreasonable for the quantity of food you actually get. We ordered wakame salads, which turned out to be tiny for $8.00 each. Plus, the flavor of these salads was very unappetizing. (As the appetizer prices are omitted from the menu, we only learned JUST how disappointed we were ... read more
CHECKCARD MINAKO ORGANIC JAP SAN FRANCISCO CA $73.56 I especially disliked the fried eggplant appetizer because it was greasy and served with a dipping sauce that seemed to be made primarily of mayonnaise. I felt that the rest of the dinner that night was bland and unmemorable. However, I clearly remember the rows of partially empty jars of food sitting out, unrefrigerated, on the shelves behind the kitchen, and thinking that they looked unsanitary. The co-ed bathroom was dimly lit, the only toilet tissue roll there, had fal... read more
Please don't eat here because you make the wait longer for the rest of us. – This is the best restaurant in SF. Yoko and Judy make the experience feel like going to eat at your long lost japanese family's house. The food is fantastic, with tons of creative choices and artful presentations. The restaurant is so small that sometimes there's a long wait and that can be annoying. It is nice to see people complaining about the restaurant because if everyone had a positive experience there, I'd NEVER get a table! In fact, the owne... read more
best japanese restaurant in san francisco – minako's is very talented at japanese food. their fish, whether it be in something cooked or raw, is always fresh and delicious. but they also have excellent sukiyaki and other traditional japanese dishes. if you're a vegetarian looking for japanese food, minako's is one of the few japanese restaurants i know of that also caters to vegetarians and even vegans. their veggie eel is not exactly like real eel, but it's very tasty. and they're also environmentally conscious to boot, as ... read more
Quite disappointing – I went a few month ago because the place got high reviews. The wait was long and the food was not as appetizing. One of my friends is japanese and her dad is a chef. She didn't eat half of her order and I barely touched my age tofu. It's just a piece of tofu fried poured over some soy. I can make that at home instead of paying almost 10 bucks for it. So all we did was drink alcohol and try to eat some of the sushi pieces to stuff our stomach. I am quite embarassed to take my friends there. But the daugh... read more
One of the best restaurants ever! Minako is a wonderful, organic Japanese restaurant in the Mission district with many vegetarian options. The food is delicious & the owners are friendly! And their sukiyaki is to die for.
