We have been to Minami lots of times and highly recommend the restaurant. The service is absolutely amazing alongside the food. We have been to many Japanese restaurants and rate this highly for experience and taste. Well done to the owners.

The restaurant opens at 5.30pm for dinner service, and there appeared to be happy hour food special on too (which the guy at the table behind had) and $5 Asashi. We had a selection of dishes, whilst our son ordered the kid's dinner bento box for $10. All the food was delicious! The dinner had a large selection - and... More

Jujisei is a good quality Japanese restaurant, offering reasonable value for money in a friendly setting. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and well-prepared, and the tempura were light and crisp, and tasty. Service is attentive, and the food comes quickly, but there is no sense of being hurried. Jujisei is a good option for a bit of variety in... More

We chanced on this japanese restaurant on our recent visit to Queenstown. It is in one street parallel to the main street in Queenstown - Shotover Street. The restaurant had a 'happy hour' special between 5-7pm for a Bento box dinner - normally NZD$35 reduced to NZD$25. It was filling enough for each of the four of us considering the... More

We are disspointed that you did not like our food. As regards MSG we do not use this as an additive or enhancer and any MSG would be already added by the manufacturer of the product. More

We are shocked by this review, as well as all our staff. We discussed this ourselves and could not find any problems with clients. Then we noticed that although the review was recent the reviewer visited in AUGUST 2012... Why was this not reported to us at the time of the incident and not left so late. We are always... More

The restaurant looks like an authentic Japanese from the outside. They plenty of items on their menu too. The location is very convenient, very close to the mall and the lake. The food, however, is around average, though we quite like the tempura.

We started with sashimi, and it was the most minuscule portion ever, and that too of a very ordinary quality. Next we opted for the crayfish miso soup, which costed $30 over a regular miso, and there were 2 small bits of crayfish. The grilled salmon was equally ordinary. Our vegetarian friends were equally disappointed. Be warned !!
