DO NOT LET THE OUTSIDE FOOL YOU. We drove by here two days ago and commented on the appearance of the building by saying it looks like it's been there a while. Two days later we find ourselves back in Ozark and low and behold eating here. We went with the reviews on Yelp! and not with first impressions. All I can say is I'm glad we did. We got an order of pan fried gyoza that was absolutely delicious and is definitely in our top five we've had. I had the Spicy Yaki Udon for my entree and, wow, it was fantastic. There was so much to it other than noodles I could not finish it all. It had chicken, steak as well as shrimp (which were grilled to perfection) in it with carrots, onions and cabbage for the vegetables. The wife actually stopped eating her sashimi, that was fresh and cold, and ate some of my plate. She has never liked Udon before and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The food took a few minutes to arrive at the table but it was well worth the wait. The server was very attentive to our needs and kept our glasses full of tea. We will definitely make the hour drive back down here to share a plate of Udon!

Me and my family enjoy the great food at Minako. My absolute favorite is the Spider Roll. Truly a great experience with authentic fresh food prepared at the time of being ordered.

Everyone was polite. Food came quickly and was delicious. But the server Celeste was AMAZING. She checked on us often, made sure everything was correct with our order, she went all the way out to the closest ocean and caught our fish FRESH! I watched her scale it and debone it in front of me! When it was time to leave we unfortunately had a flat and she lifted my car with her bare hands and changed my tire! She really goes above and beyond. Amazing service!!!!
