Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 thank you so much fer that!! i saw the place last week while i was going thru the mission from el Rio, and wondered about the whole " organic " thing..will have to check it out cheers fraggle Message: 4 > Thu, 2 Jan 2003 00:17:14 -0800 (PST) > sunny outdoors <sunny_outdoors >another review of Minako > > >someone else's positive review: > >vegan japanese organic ! ! ! > >Hi all - this is a psa to spread the word on a great new place... I tried it last night for the first time. > >Priced a little above average, but understandble due to the all-organic nature of the food, Minako Organic on Mission Street near 17th is f*cking great. Expect a slow 2 hour dinner, and perhaps a little wait if busy. > >They have a full vegan menu, as well as free range chicken and seafood. The vegan stuff is all I tried, and um, " boo-ya " . > >I don't want to delve into the 9 dishes we had, but it included soup, potstickers, dessert, and a smattering of great rolls. Very creative presentation, excellent combinations of food, including VEGAN UNAGI (EEL) MADE FROM POTATO. (!) > >Minako compares only to Cha-ya in Berkeley, but differs in that it is not 100% vegan, nor is the food as traditionally Japanese- a tad more Californian. A mom-daughter team owns it, and the daughter who served us was super friendly. > >They play rad music too- not your typical japanese restaurant music - ac/dc was blaring from the kitchen in the most comforting way. Lots of other rock/modernrock too. The fried banana desert kicked ass, as did the avacodo tempura roll. > >i was stoned, so my enjoyment was a little amplified, however this place deserves some positive word of mouth. > >The last thing that I can add is that its closed Tuesday, and only open for dinner. > >cheers - i'm their new biggest fan. > >+++ > >This is Sunny's personal review of this restaurant: > >One reason it's always full house, cause 2 to 3 hour dinners are very common. My dinners are 3 hours long cause I come in large groups of 8 or more (don't come in a big group!) > >Mom and daughter can make more money if they speed the service. > >I love their food, but can't stand the LOOOOONG meals and LOUD music, >but hey, the other customers don't seem to mind. > >I'm glad they're making it. I know they are trying really hard > > >signature: FAQ on vegetarian resources > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
