About Minato
Found at central Whangamatā, Minato is a Japanese restaurant that has become part of the Whangamatā dining scene. Its central position makes it easy to reach on foot from most inner-city accommodation.
The kitchen focuses on Japanese food. Dishes typical of this style include katsu curry and nigiri sushi, so it is a good pick if those are on your list.
Opening hours for Minato have not been confirmed on our listing yet. As with many Japanese restaurants in New Zealand, trading hours can change with the seasons and public holidays, so we recommend calling ahead before you visit.
As a rough guide, expect to spend about $40–$70 a head at a Japanese restaurant like this. It is surrounded by other eateries: we count 10 more venues within about 1 km, which makes this part of Whangamatā easy to explore on foot.
