The ramen here is stand out. Like REALLY stand out! We came here on a whim, and left so surprised…read moreand impressed that it is safe to say this will become a favorite stop when we're in those noodle-y sorts of moods. Firstly, I love the ambiance here. It is a relatively small space, with just a few tables and some bar spaces, so fairly intimate yet casual. Tucked back on west Fifth Street, it kind of feels like a little gem in this section of town. Also, the service here was like so beyond friendly and prompt. Major props go out to the owner and her staff for doign such bang-up work! And the price point for everything is really reasonable for the ramen bowls, and alright for appetizers. But enough about all that, let's delve into the food! My party and I snagged a couple large sapporos and some hot sake, and began the meal with some appetizers. The potstickers were yummy and the takoyaki were excellent. After that, we all got our assorted ramen selections. One of my friend liked the Shiro Ramen, andother went with Spicy and said it was great. But I went with the Miso Ramen, and it was simply outstanding. Delicious, full flavor, and served not so extra hot as I've experienced other places. Had to get a couple extra of those marinated soft boiled eggs, too, as I just love them! All told, I think this spot should be on anyone's radar for exceptional ramen in Reno. Definitely the noodle house I think that's hit the most top notches on my list. For sure will be returning.

We started with takoyaki which was very much improved and amazing. It was flavorful, tasty and a great starter. The dashi flakes and sauce on top was a great starter. Holy moly they definitely perfected what they offer. I never thought I would be a fan of dipping cold noodles in hot broth but here we are. The umami flavor of this dish was out of this world. The creamy broth, the flavorful sides and the noodles made this a quite enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend the Kakuni Tsukemen if you stop by. 10/10 for improving their menu, service and perfect and limited offering. Stop on by if you're ever in town!

Toasty noodles, flavorful soup, and portioned just right. The poke bowl was just OK, and they forgot to put eggs in two out of three of our bowls. However, they were quick to remedy when asked so appreciated that. Service is just alright too. It took a minute for the staff to acknowledge and seat our group, and they didn't check on our table very much. Overall, I recommend this spot!

The only thing that was decent was the broth from the spicy garnet (miso) ramen. The quartz ramen looked nice, but the flavor was really mild, similar to diluted instant ramen packets. The stuff in the ramen weren't that great tastewise. The spicy miso wasn't really spicy at all, and the flavor wasn't too bad. The stuff in there was ok at best, but really not great. We also tried one of the pork buns and it was disappointing for what it was. A single one, didn't taste so great, and spicy for what it was. The salmon poke bowl looked nice, but over warm rice? Ugh ruined it lol. The nigiri Aburi assorted thing looked so good in the photos, but was rather bland. Popular place, nice interior. First come, first served. Service was good after we were seated.

The owner and his wife clearly work hard in the kitchen and care about the product. Service is the ongoing problem. It routinely takes a long time to get an order placed. Staff rarely check on the table. Water refills can take 20-30 minutes, so we usually get our own. Food is often delivered by a robot whose shelves look unclean, and tips are still expected. Order mistakes happen often enough that we factor them in before we decide to come. The lumpia in the photo were mostly fine, but one arrived mangled and should not have been served. The poke bowl was excellent. We still stop in because it is the closest place for sushi or poke. When we have extra time we drive farther for the same food with better service. The kitchen is capable. The front of house needs real attention.

It beats my expectations since I wasn't expediting really good sushi in a place where it might take some time to get fresh food. Overall, I would recommend going here since I would actually come back the next time I got up to Tahoe for the weekend.

The restaurant was clean and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered a house salad, sashimi and two rolls. Our meal also came with miso soup. The miso soup had a fair taste and was very light on the tofu, green onions and greens. The salad dressing also had a fair taste - nothing extraordinary. We ordered the nine piece sashimi. The salmon was fresh and tasty. The tuna was also fresh and tasty, but it had a green sauce on top that we both did not care for. The Hamachi was ice cold and tasteless. The best roll was a baked roll with crab and avocado and lobster on top. It was absolutely delicious. The Carnation roll was crab and avocado wrapped in tuna and salmon with tobiko and a tempura scallop on top of each cut roll. The roll itself was average, but the warm tempura scallop on top was delicious! The sauce was a spicy mayo and Unagi sauce. We did like the fact the rice was rolled thinner on the rolls. The menu had a great variety of appetizers, sashimi, sushi rolls, and specialty rolls. There were also Korean dishes that looked yummy. We may come back to try other items on the menu, but the sushi was hit and miss. If we could, we would give this restaurant a 3.5 star rating.

Came to Minato Sushi & Bar for lunch after walking around Hot August Nights looking at classic…read morecars. So glad we went because the SO and I had a wonderful meal. Located on Virginia Street (about 1-1.5 miles from Atlantis and Peppermill hotels), Minato offers AYCE sushi as well as a la carte items if you're not feeling that hungry. We decided on this particular ayce because they had black garlic ramen, which the SO was craving. The inside is dim with natural light busting through the blinds, warped from the Reno summer sun. We were seated in a half booth against the drink fridge, which felt a little cramped. The AYCE is pretty good value at $25 for lunch on a weekend. This includes appetizers, nigiri, hand rolls, and regular rolls. I enjoyed the hamachi the most as it was super tender/buttery. Some of the fish did end up with a metallic aftertaste, but it was minimal. I should have opted for hand roll version of the rolls I was interested in. The long rolls were more for sharing with a group. The SO's meal of black garlic ramen with a bulgogi beef side add-on (+$5) was delicious and hit the spot for him. Service was great. We were served by mainly two dudes and they were super nice and attentive. Overall, will consider coming back for next year's Hot August Nights event!

The prices are very reasonable for the soup ranging from probably around $11 to $18 if you get the very large seafood udon. I specifically like the shrimp and vegetable tempura udon as the tempura is yummy and on the side so it doesn't get soggy. My husband Iikes the curry ramen that comes with a pork katsu on the side. My daughter always gets the all you can eat sushi. Nigiri has good fish to ride ratios and the quality has been good. Prices for this are similar to other places in town. The restaurant can get really busy some days as they are not super large. The service has more recently been consistently good as the servers have now been there for a while. There is not sushi bar setting as that other section of the restaurant near the bathrooms is really utilized except maybe the large table for a larger group.
