"A hidden gem in the age of TikTok sounds like an exaggeration, but Minato in Smyrna might be the closest thing. Located off of Spring Road about a half mile from Truist Park, this sushi restaurant resides on the basement level of a strip mall with scant signage. Minato doesn’t face the street, instead, it’s around the back next to the Golf Depot. The Japanese character for Minato affixed to a stone facade reveals the entrance. Minato’s not on Facebook or Instagram, and it doesn’t have its own website. Diners typically find out about the speakeasy-like, windowless restaurant through word-of-mouth." - Lia Picard
