The Most Delectable Sushi Bars in Minneapolis

Wakame Sushi & Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (930) • $$

"This was my first time at Wakame and I must note that I am not a sushi fan, however, I knew they had other stuff on the menu. We came late at night for their happy hour and it was pretty busy but we were sat quickly. I got the shrimp tempura and shockling, garlic mashed potatoes, while my friend got a mix of sushi. My food was good, pretty standard, and the mashed potatoes were a lot better than I thought they would be for an asian restaurant. I would definitely come back, good food at good prices."

Momo Sushi

★★★★★ 4.5 (339) • $$

"I'm downgrading this to four stars since I had bad stomach pain on and off for a week after dining here and so did my friend and husband after he ate the food. We think the sashimi was the cause and the pain started during the meal. We ordered rolls, momos and sashimi. The first time I dined here I got rolls only and had no issues. I rarely get stomach pain and the last time I experienced this type of pain was about 20 years ago. I still really enjoy the sushi here and my previous review about the food is still accurate. If I came back I'd probably just stick to sushi rolls and/or cooked food."

Kyatchi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (308) • $$

"Love Kyatchi. Came here for my birthday and got my favorite-the tonkatsu. Quick service and good vibes. FYI you can't tip on your card so bring cash, or you might be able to Venmo your server."

Ten Sushi Japanese Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (234) • $$

"First time checking this place out. Our server was so sweet and made sure we did not need anything during our meal. She made sure my seafood allergy was conveyed to the chefs and they selected the most delicious fish. It also came with soup and salad. Most of the restaurant was cute, but our receipts seats vinyl was cracked and needed updating. We will be back for sure."

Nakamori Japanese Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (309) • $$

"Always, always my go to when running errands and need fuel to keep going! Can always count on prompt service, fresh fish and quiet enjoyment of this small gem. Love this place and return often."

Kado No Mise

★★★★☆ 4.1 (278) • $$$$

"The food was amazing! We lucked out with it being Puffer Fish season...definitely recommend trying the platter because it was so flavorful with their Ponzu! The chef's tasting menu is definitely the way to go and the more courses the better!! I was in Japan and introduced to horse mackerel and this restaurant took it to a whole other level!! Service was excellent as you would expect! Quiet and semi-private tables in the restaurant and a nice dark whiskey bar. Japanese whiskey selection was excellent and the staff recommendations based on comparable other whiskey were On Point! Would definitely recommend!"

Mango Thai

★★★★☆ 3.6 (358) • $$

"Delightful! Such a calming Zen atmosphere. The food was authentic and beautifully presented. The depth of flavor and freshness was a surprise for the price point. Very affordable and absolutely delicious!! Fair warning-this place brings on the heat so be sure to ask them for little to no heat if you are not familiar with Thai peppers. I ordered the Pineapple Shrimp Curry and their signature Green Curry Salmon. Both just melt in your mouth fabulous. We'll be back for sure!!"

Misono Sushi & Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (227) • $$

"We stopped in for lunch and were seated right away and able to order promptly. Our waitress was really nice. For an app, we ordered the Squid Yaki. For meals we selected the Chicken Lo Mein, Crunch Roll and King Dragon Roll. Took off one star because: a) app came out at the same time as the lo mein; b) chicken in the lo mein was overcooked; c) had to hunt down our own forks & napkins and then wait to ask for chopsticks. The Squid Yaki was tasty and the portion was plentiful! The two rolls had amazing flavor and we'd definitely order them again."

Sakura Restaurant & Sushi Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (303) • $$

"Great Japanese food, love the clam miso soup and the sashimi tesihoku. Jessie was very helpful and ambiance is great! Will be back here when I'm I'm back in St. Paul!"

King's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (261) • $$

"Yum yum yum!! Haven't been here for quite some time and I'm so glad to be back! Super clean, very friendly staff and amazing food. I ordered the kimchi pancake to start. It is fried lightly and is a thin layer of amazing fresh kimchi. It comes with a soy sauce based dipping sauce. It is a large plate so plenty for leftovers. So delish!!I also ordered the stir fried glass noodles with pork and vegetables. That dish comes with several sides to top it yourself. Fresh and tasty!Stop by and enjoy this delish Korean food! Def recommend!"

Sushi Takatsu

★★★★★ 4.6 (161) • $

"The good first: it's a great price, the line moves quickly despite how long it can get at lunch time (though you may have to wait a few minutes to pick up your order), and they have a varied menu of sushi and curry (with vegetarian options). The reason it only gets 3 stars: I don't think the sushi is very good, and the lunch bowl (which you can get with extra fish for just a few dollars extra) isn't super flavorful. Either the fish and rice need to be better, or it needs a sauce that isn't soy (too salty, no chance of tasting anything).There is extremely limited seating in this skyway location, and if you do choose to eat in there, everyone waiting on line will be standing on top of you. Definitely more of a take-away place, at least during the lunchtime crush."

Iwa Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (168) • $$

"Wow. Best sushi I've had since I've came to MN! This place is amazing compared to the other sushi places around here. Service was great too"

Sakana Sushi & Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.7 (237) • $$

"I went here with my mom for senior day and was overall quite impressed. We were seated quickly and our waitress was friendly and fast. The prices were a bit steep for the quality of the rolls in comparison to other restaurants nearby but overall the food was season 12 and had lots of good flavor. The restaurant from the outside may seem a bit daunting, but the interior is very clean and light. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant but just be worried. The prices are a bit higher than others"

Kyoto Sushi

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (324) • $$

"Kyoto sushi has gone down hill. You used to be able to get normal size sashimi and sushi but now it's just miniature size. The sashimi came out and we were so shocked to see how tiny it was. Definitely not worth going to anymore unless you just order rolls"

Akita Sushi & Hibachi

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (320) • $$

"The food is so good! Each serving is freshly made to order. Try the sushi pizza it's a must!!!. Love the big tables so the whole family can sit comfortably together while enjoying a wonderful dinner. The waitstaff is always on point."

Shogun Sushi and Hibachi

★★★★☆ 3.8 (208) • $$

"Really good food. I ordered so much. We came for my friends birthday so it was quite a few of us. The staff were so awesome and patient with us since most of the girls had never been. The show was awesome and he engaged with all of us and wasn't rushing to get done which was nice. I got a chicken tempura roll, the hara maki, and the hibachi chicken which came with the miso soup and the salad. I love this place and would 10/10 come again."

Dong Hae Korean Grill and Sushi

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (312) • $$

"We came here for a pre-concert dinner. This is my first foray into Korean BBQ, and overall it was quite enjoyable. Parking is on the street, or there is free parking next to the restaurant in the evening.The restaurant was clean well designed. The staff is super friendly and attentive. The food came out to our table really quick. I mean really really quick. we were barely settled in and chatting after placing our order and our food came out. I am not sure if I ever said this about a restaurant, but it was a bit too quick.The food overall was fine. The Nigiri we ordered seems pretty fresh. I can't recall what my dining companions ordered but it was cooked well and was well balanced. I had ordered the Braised Beef Ribs. This entree was mostly a failure. While the sauce and vegetables and other accouterments were good; The beef was sooo chewy. The connective tissue you find in the ribs was not broken down in the braise. That meat needed another 60 to 90 minutes in the braise. So dropping $40.00 on this and getting this entree served to me in its state, was a disappointment.I would hit it up again to try some of the other entrees and give this place another chance."

Kyoto Sushi

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (259) • $$

"All you can eat sushi? I'm in!Say what you will about AYCE sushi restaurants... I personally love them. Sure the quality isn't quite as good but it's without a doubt edible and the flavors are always pretty solid. This particular location had kind of a weird atmosphere. It was trying to be fancy but missed the mark and just kind of looks old and dumpy. Nevertheless it was clean at least. Our server wasn't exactly the friendliest person ever nor was she very attentive. It was a bit tough flagging her down for most of our lunch visit. Food is good. Don't go in expecting super high quality fish and you will find yourself pleased I feel. If the service was just a better this would be 4 stars! @danny_runsforbeer"

Soberfish

★★★★☆ 3.5 (242) • $$

"I am a fan of Soberfish (which has a full bar for the record). Fresh ingredients, artfully prepared at a fair price. The service is consistently attentive. To top it off, the setting is charming. Never had a bad meal here. I should go more often and so should you!"

Tokyo Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (172) • $$

"First time here for all you can eat sushi. Extensive menu and there literally is something for everyone. I started with the avocado salad and gyoza dumplings. Avocados were perfectly ripe and the dumplings were so tasty. The sushi pizza was crispy on the outside and tender and tasty on the inside. All of the food I ordered was made fresh and delish. Staff is super nice. It's a bit noisy but the quality of food cancels the noise out. Def recommend this place!"

Yumi Japanese Restaurant & Bar - Excelsior

★★★★☆ 4 (173) • $$$

"Yumi Yumi Yumi I got sushi in my tummy! I was visiting a friend in the Excelsior area.We decided to grab some grub.Yumi Japanese won our vote for new place to check out. I love sushi...rice meat, wasabi and pickled ginger! The honeymoon roll with the tuna,crab meat and special sauce was well done! The spicy tuna roll was well made!They featured an off the menu teriyaki wings...fried and seasoned to perfection.Service was friendly and quick.The restaurant is small so get there early.We sat at the counter where we could see our rolls being constructed.There is parking in the back ya'll!"

Ooka

★★★★☆ 4.4 (131) • $$

"This is my favorite Sushi restaurant south of the river. They have the consistently tasting best salmon and tuna shashimi. It's fresh, generously sliced, and fairly priced.My husband and I come for dinner whenever we can get a sitter and have also had good luck bringing our kids here. The Manager has been our server at least 50% of the time and she's great!"

New Fresh Wok

★★★★☆ 3.7 (179) • $

"Time for an update since the restaurant is now open for inside dining. Seeing the lack of customers inside is balanced out from the take out business. One customer after another so that's good. There is a full Sushi bar and everything else self service. Order at the counter and pay, get your water from the other side of the room, food delivered by a singing kitty robot. There isn't much for ambience as it's a family run business with a TV that members of the family are coming in and out watching the Olympics. What counts is the variety of the menu items and quick cooking. Fried rice arrived steaming off the wok and just the aroma made me want more. The portions are plentiful and yes, if you want to take the rest home, help yourself to the take out boxes, next to the water on the other side of the room."

Kiku Bistro

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (232) • $$

"Starving after a long day flying I decided to Kiku takeout and/or delivery.I was excited to see how much thought they behind the packaging. First of all it's always a blessing when either your Uber eats or the restaurant puts in utensils. If you looking for chopstick you will have to request from the restaurant or driver. The to go order had a small piece of cardboard box right above the Pad Thai. It's small steps like this keep the food hot as if you're getting it right off the pan! The order consisted of Miso Soup, Edamame, and Pad Thai. The Vegetables in the Pad Thai, tasted like water. I'm assuming it's probably because they have their vegetables soaking in water for storage and refrigeration (common for restaurants to do).It was 56 minutes prior to close so I'm assuming the kitchen probably was in a hurry to close out. More than likely just grabbed out the veggies and threw them in the pan not allowing the excess water to be removed. Even sautéeing the veggies in first to really soak up in the sauce may have helped. The edamame was slightly under cooked which makes it tough to get the soybeans out. Maybe this is a restaurant is best experienced as a sit down spot and I recommend favoring their Japanese offerings not Thai."

Suishin

★★★★☆ 4.1 (133) • $$

"Do yourself a favor and give this place a try. It's absolutely one of those hole-in-the-wall finds that you would never even consider trying if you were just driving past the strip mall this is located in, with its unassuming appearance and generic red-lettered signage. Once you step inside though you'll easily find a nice, quiet restaurant with fantastic service and food.My wife had several sushi rolls which were all very good and very reasonably priced - their 6-to-8 piece rolls were generally in the $5-$6 range. I had a traditional sukiyaki, and wow this is the best sukiyaki I've found in the Twin Cities. It's one of my favorite dishes - beef, tofu, glass noodles, mushrooms, and cabbage simmered together in a sweet soy broth. The flavors are spot on for what this dish should be, and I would absolutely recommend it to anybody.My wife commented on how nice and quiet the restaurant was, with some minimalistic Japanese music in the background and plenty of soundproofing to block out the sound from outside. Service was excellent as well. I'm happy to go back here any time!"

Akame Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.5 (178) • $$

"Business lunch with a co-worker and I had never tried Kyoto or any MN chain of sushi that specializes in all you can eat. Usually I judge these places but took the gamble and it paid off They have a solid menu with a ton of sashimi, roll and cooked options and a staff that keeps bringing you food until you are done ! I tried two cuts of fish (unagi, salmon) and two rolls along with miso and edamame. Green tea ice cream was the closer.... Fun to have two blocks from where I work"

Sake Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.1 (122) • $$

"We happened to be in the area and were able to be seated right away for a late lunch. It's a smaller place with booths, table seating, and bar seating. Our server was pleasant and worse gloves the whole time. (Although he wore the gloves into the bathroom and I don't think he changed them after, so that made us very uncomfortable).The happy hour menu was decent and we mostly ordered from that. The sushi was good, but nothing amazing. Maybe above average? There was an issue with the tofu dish my friend ordered. She kept finding hard slivers in it, that she said seemed like plastic. She chose not to finish her dish and the waiter never asked what we thought about the dishes so it was never brought up."

Midori's Floating World Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.7 (146) • $$

"A fantastic spot for vegans! This is my guess of what authentic Japanese food is. Don bowls, bento boxes and sushi (with multiple vegan sushi options).The space is bright and adorable. Happy hour is 5- close every Wednesday. They also have lots of sake and tea. The food is 5 stars but the service was more like a 3. Friendly enough, but Very, very slow. Also, one of the servers had B.O. Sorry to call this out, but it was unpleasant during a meal in a small restaurant. Service aside, I will be back soon!"

Hajime Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.4 (101) • $$

"Placed a to-go order. It was ready when they said it would be. Food was fresh and delicious. Priced appropriately. We ordered a lot of different items and everything was perfect."

Haiku Izakaya & Ramen

★★★★★ 4.5 (96) • $$

"This was my first time visiting this establishment. I'd heard some reviews from friends that have been and I decided to check it out. Labor Day holiday sick of barbecues nobody wants to cook and heat up the house and we all had a taste for Asian food. We went in the place was unassuming from the parking lot as it's tucked in nestled in between several other stores in a strip mall. But it was very inviting when we walked in. We were greeted right away we were asked if we wanted to be seated or get something to go I opted for to go. While I peruse the menu I noticed the sake/sushi bar. There was a gentleman there making it all of the sushi rolls fresh to order right in front of you You could sit there and eat and have sake or if you ordered it it would be brought to your table. The restaurant itself was pretty inviting it's somewhere that you could go for a nice date night or for a quick lunch or for an evening happy hour with friends. The other thing that I noticed was the menu the prices were unbelievable and I mean that in the best way possible Also the serving sizes were perfect. Oftentimes when you come to restaurants like these the portion sizes are so big that you end up wasting food. For all of the items that we got the average price was $6 per item for instance the chicken wings come in an orders of four wings for $5.95 the gyoza's or six for $5.95 The sushi was average $8 per roll but they had a double roll for $13 which is two rolls or 12 to 16 bite size pieces which was perfect. I really like this because when you're ordering for multiple people not everybody wants the same thing and sometimes people just want what they want and they don't want to share and their portion sizes were perfect for this very reason. The food was packaged very nicely it traveled well and there wasn't a bite left it was delicious. We will definitely be back to dine in and try the ramen since that is what they are famous for.*The only critique that I would have for this establishment was the short ribs.. although they were seasoned to perfection and the price was reasonable at around $8 for four pieces they were extremely thin and what seemed to be a cheaper cut of meat. As I said they were seasoned perfectly and they were worth the price I suppose but I would rather see a better cut of meat and pay $15 for four good size spare ribs other than that the food was amazing and we will definitely be back and I would highly recommend!!"

Kobe Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (166) • $$

"3.5/5Stopped in here Valentine's Day late afternoon and there was plenty of seating. Staff were friendly but nothing particularly memorable, some were just standing around chatting waiting for the rush to hit. I got the avocado roll and sweet potato roll, my husband got tuna and salmon rolls. All were great but again, nothing terribly special (nothing to bring us back again). The restaurant itself is nice and appeared clean. I would prefer if giant TVs weren't everywhere, very distracting but some folks like that."

Kai's Sushi & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (97) • $$

"Found this gem of a place after 2 failed attempts at finding a place for dinner. This turned out for the best because this place is awesome.Great service and the food is legit.From the sake, to the rolls, everything hit the spot. Went here with a buddy and we were warmly welcomed by our server. She even recommended some great places to try in the future.When I'm in town I would certainly love to come here again.Give it a shot!"

Kyoto Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.5 (150) • $$

"Parking is great. The service was outstanding today - best service we've ever had there. We ordered a variety of rolls and they were delicious. It's a great place to go and share a variety of sushi with a group of people. My older son even got a birthday cheesecake and ice cream with a candle."

Golden Wok

★★★★☆ 3.6 (136) • $

"I am staying at a hotel by Mall of America and ask the hotel staff if there's a good Chinese place to eat near here that delivers. I was riding my mountain bike today and I happen to fall so my ribs are hurting. I did not want to go out I was not disappointed by this restaurant, however I underestimated the size of their food. Usually in Charlottesville if you order a large egg drop soup you get a normal size bowls of soup however, I got a ginormous container of egg drop soup. The rice was the normal size of rice. This was the only thing disappointing. Cannot say I loved the flavor. The egg rolls were massive. The food is very tasty and I am not disappointing."

Kataki

★★★★★ 4.6 (81) • $$

"We have gotten Kataki 3 times now and WOW I'm so impressed with their sushi! I hadn't heard of it until my brother visited from out of town and suggested it and now it's one of our favorite places. The quality is amazing and the sushi is fresh and unique.I've never sat in the restaurant so I can't speak to the ambiance - we have only ever gotten take out. However we have ordered by calling and have never had any problems with the order or service when we pick up.We have tried multiple rolls including the Spicy Girl Roll, Sexy Girl roll, and Kataki roll. Everything has been delicious and I can't choose a favorite! Also don't sleep on the stir fry ramen, it's delicious. Get the chicken! I've tried the steak one as well and they're both amazing."
