Friendly and attentive service. Broad menu. Accessible pricing. Sushi quality was really good. Broth and pork belly were flavorful and yummy. Deducted a star because the noodles used for the ramen were a little off. Still, I highly recommend checking Kataki out.Ample lot parking.

We tried 4 rolls between us. The Kataki Roll was very good. The Crazy Spider Roll would have been better without the cucumber. Just touching a piece caused the cucumber to fall out and then each bite fell apart.The Viking and Sakura Rolls were our least favorite. Not much flavor.It was busy and 2 sushi chefs were working very hard.

Met up with a friend in Richfield, an area I used to be very familiar with. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many "new" restaurants in the area. Decided to stop at this divey sushi spot to compare to another hole-in-the-wall sushi place I frequent in North Minneapolis. It's a small space, so service was quick! I ordered two chef specialty rolls, the Spicy Girl Roll and the Sexy Girl Roll. Of course I washed it all down with their house sake, warmed. The sake was easy and comforting on a fall day. The spicy girl was tuna based and textually a bit mushy, but cut precisely. The sexy girl was a crispy shrimp tempura also cut perfectly with plenty of ginger and wasabi to pair! I might have to come back to try their ramen as I saw togarashi seasoning readily available on the table, my FAVORITE spice blend! Easy parking lot spaces! If I lived in the area it would be my spot to go for sure! Would happily go back to try more!

Really good food and great service too. The shocking thing here is the fried rice! I was in hog heaven eating the specialty Kataki Fried Rice which has pork belly! Yummmm. Yes the prices are a little high, but I think that's become the norm for sushi places these days. You won't be disappointed here.

Kataki was excellent.Got the Spicy Girl roll & Sakura roll. Both were delicious, the Sakura roll was my favorite. Happy hour on Sunday?! Love that for me. The rolls were well-priced and super fresh and beautiful. Shockingly great for a Minneapolis suburb. Less expensive and more tasty than other western suburb contenders- Crave, Kona Grill, Kyoto. 10000% will be back.

It was a pleasant surprise visiting this place because I definitely did not know about it at all prior to trying the food, but it was a wonderful balance of price, quantity, and flavor, to the point that it made my dining experience worth it! Kataki is nowhere close to an upscale or fine dining place but I felt like I paid for what the food was worth, and possibly even more!The highlights are definitely the sushi! My partner and I only got the yellowtail and the salmon roe sushi but they both tasted very flavorful, and the koshihikari rice was tasty as well. I could tell that the sushi was a specialty in this establishment. The price was very reasonable as well, with $7 for the yellowtail sushi and $11.5 for the salmon roe sushi. The Kataki rolls were great as well, even if I knew that the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy yellowtail combination wasn't uncommon. Someone it tasted fuller and more flavorful than similar items I have had elsewhere.The tonkotsu ramen was solid as well, and I was given a good amount of pork with good texture that tasted slightly different from what I was used to. The broth was only okay, but I know it's hard to achieve perfection for such in a restaurant so I was okay with it. For $14.50, it was worth it!The appetizers such as shumai, softshell crab tempura, age tofu, and takoyaki were also solid, and once again, for $7.5 each ($8.95 for the softshell crab) it was worth it, but they were not as good as the sushi in terms of economical value. The octopus meat in the takoyaki was hard. The age tofu relied on the sauce for flavor completely. And the shumai was a bit soggy. Regardless, they were all solid enough!Once again, I did not expect myself to give a 5 rating to a Japanese food place that wasn't the most well-known for its authenticity or fanciness, but the food was tasty and it made me "feel good" here! There are many establishments like this one, but somehow the food here has had more flavor in comparison.

I was in the area at the time and was craving ramen. So I found Kataki Sushi and Ramen. I've never heard of this spot, and am always excited when I discover a new ramen spot.Wanting to have a good feel of Kataki, I had both sushi (Nigiri Combo, I forgot the name exactly), and ramen (Tonkotsu Ramen).Every ramen spot I try, I also must try their Chicken Karaage. Ramen Spots usually have the best Chicken Karaage. The Chicken Karaage here was... mid. It didn't have the nice crunchy exterior. It wasn't bad though, but not amazing either. I give the Chicken Karaage a 2.5/5.The Tonkotsu Ramen was... not really Tonkotsu. Tonkotsu is an emulsified pork bone broth. It's supposed to be thick and fatty. The broth here was more of a chintan style, meaning a clear and lighter broth. When tasting though, the ramen actually wasn't bad. It was nice and decent. The broth was flavored really well. The chashu was thinly sliced and delicate, and was savory and subtly sweet. I give the Tonkotsu Ramen a 3/5.With this experience so far, why did I rate Kataki 5/5? Because of the sushi! Again, I had the nigiri combo, and it was AMAZING! Great fish quality. What I love about Kataki is that they add a bit of flare to some of their nigiri. Meaning for some nigiri pieces they may add an interesting sauce, paste, and/or fish eggs (caviar/roe). See my pictures. My favorite nigiri was the fatty belly salmon topped with roe. This was probably the most luxurious salmon I've ever had. It was a big cut, fatty, and melt-in-your-mouth like. It also came with a California Roll, which was ok. Not only was the sushi good, it was also affordable. This nigiri combo only costed around $25. The sushi here is 5/5.I came in for ramen, and came out with the conclusion that this may be one of my favorite sushi spots now. Great sushi, affordable, and good service. If you're a sushi lover, you must give this spot a try.

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.

I really wanted to like this place, but was a bit disappointed after trying it out. They had a wide selection of sushi, from sashimi, signature rolls, and chef's special rolls. Hands down, the sexy girl roll was absolutely amazing! Even my brother who isn't the biggest fan of seafood/sushi (yet) really loved this roll! The crunch roll overall was pretty good, but it's not something I would order again. It tasted like the powder and leftovers of a Japanese snack stuck onto the rice.The biggest disappointment was the ramen. It smelled heavily of pork (not in a good way) and we couldn't even eat it because it was so overbearing. The beef udon was okay, but for the price, is not worth it. If I were to return, it would only be for the sushi.
