Minato Sushi included in Halifax’s Best Restaurants by Urbanspoon
It makes perfect sense that you would find a spectacular sushi restaurant on the East Coast of Canada in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Award Winning Minato Sushi restaurant has been operating in Halifax since 2002 giving the residents over a decade of fine Japanese cuisine with a splash of Korean added in. Urbanspoon has labelled Minato Sushi as “Best Halifax Restaurant” in 2014.
Located at 1520 Queen Street in downtown Halifax in a quaint old house, you can sit in comfort as you watch master sushi chef Chung Young Ko (James) and head chef In Suk Lee work their magic.
After practicing his art in Korea, then Toronto, and now relocated to Halifax, master sushi chef Chung Young Ko (James) has finally pursued his dream of owning his own Japanese restaurant. James has been a sushi chef over 28 years and his specialties include salmon sashimi, minato roll and his very own unique blend of soy sauce. Working alongside James is head chef In Suk Lee (Leah) who brings an additional 17 years of Japanese and Korean cuisine to the restaurant. Leah is best known for not overpowering her sauces and spices.
The staff at Minato Sushi are very honored to be able to serve the people of Halifax and have spent a great deal of time perfecting their arts, getting their ingredients right and providing an exceptional dining experience. Decades of hard work have finally paid off and Minato Sushi would like to thank everyone who helped make their dream a reality.

Cozy and quiet spot for some excellent sushi! All of the maki and sashimi we tried was fresh and delicious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to real sushi lovers. - Love this gem of a place! They give such big portions of fish for their nigiri and their rice is always fresh. They also don't skimp out on their ginger, they must make their pickled ginger themselves because the pieces are huge! I also find that the soy sauce they give is tastier, some sushi restaurants water down their soy sauce. Little details like that make all the difference! Plus the owner is super kind :-)
- Delicious food in a cozy setting. Will definitely be back
- Took my mother here for lunch and she and I loved it. Quant little restaurant with all the good sushi you would expect. Will be going back soon.

Great owners who are kind and provide a great welcoming dining experience.
- This is absolutely the best sushi ever. The veggie dragon Maki is my favorite and is mouthwatering; the sweet potato tempura, the avocado, the signature sweet sauce and the best spicy sauce I've ever had at a sushi place. Highly recommended!
- The coziest sushi spot in Halifax. Excellent food, excellent service. Highly recommend!
- Perfect.
The man who is out front always, who I'm assuming is the owner, is very pleasant. Always a quick, professional, and polite experience. His wife also works there and is out front from time to time, she's always very pleasant as well. Never messes up my order, the food is always extremely fresh and tastes great. This is my go to for sushi in Halifax.
- Quality ingredients and skilled chefs, go-to spot when looking for a great meal with none of the frills.
