Revisited in June 2024, haven't been back since the remodel. Minami Sushi in Streamwood offers a serene, clean and casual dining experience with minimal modern design. Their menu boasts a variety of sushi, tempura, and noodle dishes, hot and cold appetizer selections and daily lunch specials. Our experience began with a refreshing house salad featuring iceberg lettuce, carrot shavings, and cherry tomatoes in a delightful citrus ginger dressing.

Our server, Tammy, was thoughtful in guiding us through gluten-free options. I opted for the Tasty Ex and Loco Tako rolls, both safe choices for those with allergies. The Tasty Ex, with its layers of salmon, yellowtail, and spicy tuna, topped with a medley of spicy mayo and wasabi mayo, provided a subtle yet delicious kick. The Loco Tako roll, while visually stunning, requires a thoughtful approach to fully appreciate its flavors, especially the spicy octopus topping. Neither roll was too spicy for me.

My husband enjoyed the Tekka Don, a generous bowl filled with mushrooms, tamago, tuna, seaweed salad, radish, and seasoned rice. The varied textures and flavors made for a satisfying dish, though we both wished for more gluten-free options to enhance our dining experience.

Overall, Minami Sushi offers a talented staff, tranquil ambiance and delectable dishes, but could benefit from expanding their gluten-free offerings to accommodate a wider range of dietary preferences. Since there were few gluten free options, I may come back for the rolls I was able to eat. There are no desserts on the menu, so if I had to suggest one I think a simple ice cream or fruit to cleanse the palate would suffice!

(Previous review: Not a mind blowing experience and just okay. Seems to gather a large lunch crowd. No gluten/dairy free notes on menu. Completely unaware about food allergies! Would not likely come again. I had a couple bites of the dragon roll and was not excited or tasty. It was bland and just okay. The booths had taped up seats and seemed a little unclean).
