Minato

Enjoyed tasty donburi bowls, which were made fresh with generous amounts of protein. We got the Chirashi, Gyu-don, Negi Hama and the salmon avocado sundae cup to sample. My family was happy and we plan on coming back!Ordering online was easy and order was ready at the assigned time. Keep in mind this is takeout only and there is no indoor or outdoor seating. Great customer service! They called to clarify my no ginger request, as the negi hama is mixed with ginger. I'm fine with the ginger mixed in, but did not want the additional ginger and wasabi.

Takeout only place! Chirashi bowl was $25, so obviously lower quality than $40+ bowls elsewhere. But even then I think the fish quantity was a little less than expected and was disappointed that the fish were cut so randomly. So many corner pieces and uneven thickness.Would be an okay picnic or quick to go, but would rather spend a bit more money

This is a take out only place. Their fish were fresh and amazing. Would definitely come back again. Service was good and fast.

I really wanted to like this place after seeing it blow up on the internet. Service was quick and the restaurant was cute, modern, and small. I thought it was unique that they offered mini versions of their bowls, which meant it would be easy to test taste their offerings. However, food was subpar. For $30, I expected more fish. It felt like the bowl was full of filler items which included seaweed salad, eggs, tuna salad and crab salad all of which were mid-tier and nothing to write home about. The slabs of fish were ok with my favorite being the hamachi.Maybe I went on an off day, but I didn't find anything impressive about this place.

This place was super good and I really enjoyed my meal - I got the chirashi bowl and fish was incredibly fresh and the rice was flavorful too!! My bf got the oyako-don which was so good, too - it definitely hit the spot. The service was nice and friendly, but I'm taking a star off for the take-out packaging - it's takeout only, but the miso soup spilled everywhere, and the soy sauce did, too. We were also missing our disposable chopsticks in our order. But overall, the food was really good and so reasonably priced. I'm definitely coming again!

I've been here 2 times this past month and I think it's a winner. There's some Japanese food competition in Wallingford but Minato has Magee to open a quick to go donburi spot with fresh and delicious foods. The portion size is actually quite generous and they give a lot of tasty sushi rice. I liked the donburi but you can get a "parfait" too which is a nice smaller size if you just want a bit of something. I was carving unagi but I didn't want the whole donburi so the parfait was just perfect. They have a clean seating area for waiting for your order. I like the calm atmosphere on the inside. It's not a sit in place but you can order for pick up and have a nice meal at home!

Minato is light years ahead of Fremont bowl and Donburi station in every way: freshness, taste, price. The only downside about Minato is that there is no seating area and all orders are takeout only. I've been a few times now (and thought I already reviewed!) and ordered the negihama (yellowtail), Minato special, hamachi, and the chirashi. All are phenomenal, but the negihama is my absolute favorite. I could eat it every day. The buttery -ness of the fish paired with the fresh, crisp scallions ("Negi") is pure heaven. The rice is also delicious sushi rice. The staff are kind and helped explain the differences between the menu items. We waited on the benches indoors while they prepped our food. They provide takeout utensils as well. There is only street parking available, no dine-in, and no restrooms.

YESSS! I'm absolutely in love with this place! New #1 quality sashimi place? Likely.Everything from the decor to the service is pure and authentic Japanese hospitality. And I could not resist myself jamming to their J-pop music. (Do note that it's take out only. A shame because I would love to sit and enjoy my meal here.)I'm not sure if it's owned by next door's Issian or big chains like Musashi's but it definitely has the same high quality fish, if not better.The fish slices are HUGE and you get good value. This is big news - I no longer have to go to downtown to get sashimi bowl that's worth it.

This is one of the newer seafood/donburi place in the greater Seattle area and I am a big fan! This is a place that is highly competitive to the established Fremont Bowl, Donburi Station, Musashi's, etc. I personally got the chirashi bowl and an unagi sundae to cover all bases of most of the seafood they offer. Price total was around $35 after tax - Chirashi bowl was $25 pre tax and unagi sundae was $6.80 pre tax, which is a fair price. Unlike some places, they didn't have unagi in the chirashi bowl but they have seaweed salad, egg, scallops, and shrimp. Other things they had in the chirashi bowl that are fairly ubiquitous are the salmon, yellowtail, and tuna. They also had a little bit of negihama, so for the most part, the chirashi bowl is a combination of almost everything. All of these items are super fresh, probably one of the freshest I have tried in Seattle. I particularly loved the salmon and negihama in this bowl. The unagi sundae had a few slices of eel with eel sauce and rice underneath. It looks small but it is a bit substantial, so 2-3 sundaes is enough for a satisfying meal. This would be good for a "dessert" or for consuming at the end of the meal, but I ended up eating this as my first item of the meal haha.Biggest biggest downside is that this is takeout only. As someone that usually takes public transit, this can be a bit stressful to plan where to eat when there is no guaranteed seating. There is a small public parklet just outside of Molly Moons where I sat to eat, but this can be limited during peak dining hours or when the weather is not good. Fortunately, I am a planner so I only went here because it was finally sunny, a little bit rare during this time of year. I would frequent here a lot more for the chirashi bowl if they did offer indoor seating, even if it is a small amount.

We're fans of this takeout only spot! Fish quality is very fresh and prices are reasonable! Service was friendly and quick. We placed our order and it came out in 10 minutes. They have some benches to sit inside while you wait. My husband got the Minato donburi and I got the Chirashi. Both were so fresh and delicious! We ate in the little public space Parklet located in front of Molly Moon's next door.
