Mintama — Restaurant in Yomitan

We have always loved this place! It’s been a go to date night for us! We Ordered bruschetta for an appetizer. Came out fast and it was so refreshing. We got the buffalo chicken wings, they had a some what sweet flavor and were nice and crunchy. We also order a half margherita and half the vegtable. It was good, the margherita was flavorful. The vegtable had a lot of meat but I will say the topping of salad was a little weird because it was warmed by the pizza which was a little funky. We also did two pastas, a vodka, and another one with bigger noodles and pork. The vodka sauce took the win on this one. The bigger noodle one was bland and the meat was less than desirable. We asked about dessert and they said they didn’t have any. We enjoyed some adult beverages as well. When we arrived a table of people were sitting down and had already enjoyed a bottle of wine and had food on their table.

Some time after while waiting for our cab another table was sat down and the table that was there before us was still ordering. It was quite odd. The place has many tables and a bar so we weren’t taking up a table that was needed. I felt like it was pointed at us but could have just been me overthinking it. With that said, we left with a bad taste in our mouth making it...

Most of the staff we have encountered does well with communicating with you. I would suggest calling ahead for dinner and make a reservation as it can get busy and be sure to bring Yen as they do not take credit cards.

My favorite item on the menu is the Balsamic Glazed Mahi. The fish is cooked to perfection and nestled on a large tomato and drizzled with a fresh balsamic glaze. Another family favorite is the Rafute. They also serve pizza, pasta, salad and some traditional...

The night we went here- we didn’t have reservation so we had to wait 30min. It seems there was only one guy working for cooking serving taking orders etc. he was quite nice. The restaurant had very nice atmosphere! I loved how the interior lookss and it looks like renovated from old Japanese house. The food we ordered was so good!! Especially loved the squid ink pasta! It is not fishy at all and another pasta was meat pasta! We also got the half and half pizza. Thy were delicious as well. I would come back next time for sure and I will make...
