About
Minako is a hidden gem that surprises many. Despite a dated exterior, the food—especially the sushi and udon—is frequently praised as excellent. Service can be hit or miss, with some staff being incredibly kind and others appearing distant. It's a solid choice for Japanese cuisine in Ozark, provided you look past the building's condition.
