Sit at the bar, watch the action, order the mackerel bento with the the tempura eggplant on the side. the scallops are good too!
Order the berries and cream crepe for dessert. You'll want an espresso martini afterward. Off to find one now!
The okonomiyaki at Obento-ya tops that of Moto-I and Midori's - better presentation, more tang and zip.
Comfort food, unexpected flavors, and an excellent wine / beer program -- and foie gras menu! -- make this "reinvented Austro-Hungarian" restaurant worthy of a visit. Try the mackerel (pictured). Read more.
Great service, lovely space, delicious schnitzel, potato salad, asparagus soup...
My only advice is to try everything. One of the best meals I've ever had in Minneapolis. (Even as a vegetarian!)
A fantastic little gem! My service was prompt and personal and the food was fantastic. Also Sapporo/Kirin Ichiban/Coedo and Asahi on tap!! Great sakes too!
The $8 hot sake bottle is the best drink deal on the menu. More than enough to get two people tipsy.
Try the octopus balls. :)
The best sushi in town without the really spendy price tag. Fantastic service and excellent recommendations for new sushi lovers.
Best sushi in town. Hands down. Sit at the sushi bar and just ask for whatever is freshest...
chef's choice at the sushi bar, do it.
Tried only their California Roll & Avocado roll.. Loved their Wasabi
The hot pot in the bar was great. Like a more social Melting Pot.
Since you're already here...try the Chiran Hotaru "Firefly"
Tempura Sushi Bento is my favorite. Lived in Japan. Tempura & Sushi as good as any there. Nice atmosphere, great people and fast service!
Food was excellent and reasonably priced but service has been VERY slow every time I have been there. Not a place to go if you are in any kind of a hurry.
Be patient. Good thing are worth waiting for. Accidents happen when you're in a hurry.
Salmon sashimi was good. Pork belly Ramen was good, not to die for. I will be back though to try more.
Masu is considered one of the best spots for sushi, but don't stop there. The menu also includes izakaya (Japanese bar snacks), all sorts of noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and sake flights.
Voted Best Japanese Restaurant of 2013! At this sleek Northeast shop everything from the oysters to dried squid is an excellent example of Japanese izakaya — the Asian version of pub grub. Read more.
Sushi is amazing and the Massamun curry is to die for. Come during happy hour for cheap sushi
Great late-night HH starting at 9:30 w/ a selection of apps, sushi, specialty rolls and drinks. Highly recommend the Hot & Spicy Girl Roll and the Jeremy Roll. Did I mention they also have a patio?
Sushi bar is phenomenal. Especially during happy hour. I may even like it more than Fuji-Ya
try the green tea hot best in the cities
LOVE the sushi at Bagu in Minneapolis.
have the happy hour sushi!
All you can eat sushi for only $30. Plus the chefs are amazing, friendly, and informative! Also pretty good at whipping up special requests!
This place is so horribly 80's it kills me!!! Shut down for a week, buy new chairs and tables for the bar, do something to the walls and get new lighting. This way it might be a hot spot once again!
Try the green tea ice cream!!! The best ice cream ever in this world!!!
Outstanding food. Had the Spicy Takati as a shared appetizer, very good. The Nori Fillet has got to be on my top five steaks I've ever had.
When you're here........tip.....or I'll kill you.
Their Sushi is amazing! Very good staff as well. A must expierence!!
Chef Doug Flicker changes the Piccolo menu seasonally. The small plates are always adventurous and creative, and you can order as many as you want, to suit your appetite (and budget).
Voted Best Restaurant by City Pages in 2011! The menu is made up almost entirely of small plates, so every night can be a tasting menu
One of Andrew Zimmern's favorite restaurants in the world. Chef Doug Flicker showed Andrew how to create new foods by using transglutiminase, also known as meat glue. Read more.
if you're an Asian in Minneapolis that likes to hang out with other Asians, Tuesday night is for you. It's also Karaoke night.
Terrible service.
Try the Scorpion Roll. The Scorpion roll can help you with shrimp tempura and fried soft shell crab, asparagus, burdock root, and spicy mayo rolled with masago roe to give you a kick out of the norm.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
