Ace Namba Minami

We booked the deluxe option with my our two boys, 9 and 11 years old. and were given a separate table to the bar. Our 11 year old is reticent generally to eat 'weird' food (basically anything that isn't burgers and chips!) but he tried everything offered here and enjoyed a lot of it. There was a superb steak course and three types of salt to try with it, along with fresh teppan-grilled vegetables and an amazing fried rice with garlic chips made in front of us which we all loved. The 'tomato two ways' was an excellent sorbet and a reduction, which was a perfect palate cleanser. The atmosphere was quiet and calm, not too busy, which was good after a day at Nintendo World! Service was attentive and the chef serving us, Tsuyoshi Kondo, assistant sous chef, was skilled and kind. As he had limited English, I used as much of my Japanese as possible and we were able to have some fun with the experience too. Recommended!

Food: Good quality food. Service: Always had great service Value: Pricey but worth it Ambiance: Nice Teppanyaki dining with shared seating Reservations: Highly recommended Have been to Minami several times. Nice and upscale environment, with a serene garden background/backdrop at most of the Teppanyaki tables. Slight seasonal variations in regards to the appetizers/salads, decent selection of wines to pair with the meal courses. Fixed menu courses with slight variations/substitutions allowed to accommodate allergies or personal preferences. All of the course items are generally well though out and well balanced. Reservations are recommended given the limited seating availability. Be prepared to spend between $100.00-$200.00+USD per person depending on the course selected.
