Vegetable Tempura Appetizer
Laura F.

Arrived for an early dinner, again no hostess visible so had to wait for someone to come out of the kitchen. Since they were not crowded I was offered any table of my choosing. They had 2 TVs on, one World Baseball the other football. Hostess/server was very friendly, repeated my order back to me multiple times to ensure accuracy. My drink was was kept full throughout my meal. Appetizer and entree were served at the same time. Serving sizes are large and perfectly seasoned. I recommend the vegetable tempura, bite size pieces of zucchini, carrots, broccoli, asparagus and onions. Chicken yakisoba has lots of veggies and small bite size pieces of chicken breast. Their menu has a good selection of Korean dishes and sushi. I'll be coming back for sure.

Shrimp Tempura Dinner
Christine M.

This place had great service, great food and very clean. We ordered plenty of appetizers and delicious sushi along with tempura and a chicken teriyaki bowl. The chicken was very moist and cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend this place if you're in this neighborhood.

Vegetable Tempura Appetizer
Melissa M.

Pretty good! I was a bit wary about getting sushi in the desert but this place was good. We tried the Arizona roll- yellow tail on top, shrimp tempura in with a nice jalapeño slice on top. Spicy tuna had a nice kick. The vegetable tempura was good...I wish they had more veggie variety like mushroom and green beans, but the batter was nice and light; not greasy . I liked how the zucchini slices were nice and thin. Lastly, my daughter tried the teriyaki chicken bowl. She said it was pretty good . I tasted the teriyaki sauce...it was a bit too sweet for me..you can really taste the honey. Service was nice. Our beverages were always refilled. The venue itself was nice and clean. They had a cute sushi bar in the front. Restrooms are outside of the establishment. Tired of the typical diner fare...this is a nice little Asian cuisine find here in Laughlin.

Steak Bento Box
Norma N.

The food was great ordered a Bento Box. The steak bento was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. The California Rolls were very fresh. I especially liked the fresh wasabi it's the bomb. The restaurant was clean and fresh. The sushi chefs were very nice along with the waitress. I gave the waitress my order appetizers and my lunch. However, I did not receive my appetizers for whatever reason. The wait was a bit long for only a couple of others having lunch. But all in all we enjoyed ourselves.

Bulgogi Beef Plate Orange Chicken Mexican Roll (Delishhh)
Mike G.

Great!!! As always but was really missing Lily this time around, service was cool but wasn't as great as when Lily is working. Came here with the family for our annual cousins trip, this is our must stop for dinner when in Laughlin. Totally recommend this restaurant. Orange crush is a must get.

A cup of ginger
Randy L.

Went there quite a few times and it was always good this time. I don't know what they did but the tuna was horrible. The rolls did not taste fresh and it was just very disappointing.

Spicy garlic edamame, chicken bento .  The best!
Kenny O.

As usual, the place is packed. Got our three entrees in 10-minutes. The spicy garlic edamame is a must. Great service, sushi and bipimbap. I got to go here more often. Juan does a great job.

The Spicy Scallop Roll. Delicious.
Anthony S.

Ok so I finally tried this place after numerous trips to Laughlin. The place is rather small and unassuming, and shares the second floor of a small retail complex with the Hideout Bar. I was greeted and I chose to sit at the sushi bar as I was dining solo. The hostess was very nice and friendly. The two gentlemen working the sushi bar were also very friendly and welcoming. My waitress was also quite nice, although it seems as if several different people waited on me throughout my visit. I ordered Kimchi Jjigae, a spicy scallop roll, and the soft shell crab appetizer. The SSCA was absolutely delicious, crispy and flavorful with a wonderful ponzu dipping sauce. The SSR was absolutely wonderful, so fresh and flavorful, it was delicious. The KJ was good, but lacked the flavor of a traditional KJ. Overall the meal was absolutely delicious, and the service was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Laughlin.

Steak bento box   really great value and amount of food
Mary Y.

Food delicious Tons of choices Busy dinner time service still good Lunch not as busy service great Ambiance loud when busy

Salmon skin hand roll $8.99 each - very small
T P.

I ordered two salmon skin hand rolls ($17.98 for two) and a spicy tuna roll ($9.99) to go. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant got busy as I waited for my order. Unfortunately I didn't eat my rolls right away; about an hour later. The salmon skin was extremely tough and not edible. I had to remove the tough pieces. The spicy tuna roll was good. I'm surprised that the salmon skin hand rolls were so expensive, considering its size. I would return and perhaps dine in.

Caterpillar roll
Danny V.

This is a must when you are in the Laughlin area. Freshest sushi around with something for everyone. Make reservations to avoid the long wait. Say it's someone's birthday in your group for a special something.

Sushi bar

Food is good, we got beef yakisoba and chicken katsu...with a side of kimchi. The service is very nice and helpful. The ambiance is American Asian at its best. If you are around I highly recommend.

Kimchi jjigae and edamame.

Ask the Community - Minato's Japanese Restaurant

Do you have California rolls?

Wouldn't be a sushi bar without California rolls. Of course they have California rolls. Everyone has California rolls.

Do they do all you can eat sushi and if so what's the price?

Not at minato's but there is another place that does on Tuesday night. It's another sushi restaurant on Hancock. I'm not going to say the name and they do a Tuesday night. All you can eat for $41 a person

Does it have happy hour?

They do. I believe 4-7pm.

Do you have soy / rice wrappers available as a substitute for the nori on the sushi? Not a big fan of the seaweed but enjoy being able to join in with friends who do.

Yes they do! They also do cucumber wrapped, no rice sushi.

Is there a way all you can here?

No. Minato's is not an "all-you-can-eat" restaurant. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The service is attentive. This place is much better in every way than any of the casino restaurants. Try it.

Hidden pearl in the Lake Havasu food scene…read more My last visit to Lake Havasu, I stumbled upon this quaint and unassuming sushi restaurant. I was craving sushi that night, and when I looked up sushi restaurant's, the top two were super busy and looked like they were chain restaurant's. I decided to look at other places and found Sake Sushi & Grill. There were only a few cars parked outside, perhaps a total of five other vehicles. I wasn't expecting much, but what I got when I walked in was pleasantly surprising. When I walked in, I was greeted by the chef/owner and perhaps his wife. It brought me back to one of my favorite mom and pop sushi restaurant that I frequented in Okinawa Japan when I was stationed there. The servers were very attentive and they even had a sommelier of sorts, who helped me pick the best Sake for my meal. The food came out fast and the fish looked, smelled and tasted fresh even though it's hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. I got the chirasu bowl, and few Maki, seaweed salad, and tempura vegetables. They gave me some free miso soup to help cleanse my pallet. Everything looked so good and tasted fantastic. I was so enticed by the food that I forgot to take a picture of it before I started eating. I definitely recommend Sake Sushi & Grill if you are looking for something more authentic than those other chain sushi restaurants.

Worse customer service! Asked me to wait to get seated had me waiting 30min no one ever came, then…read morestarted seating customer that would walk in
