Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Lake Minnetonka

"KingfieldPeople have been digging on this place since its doors opened up just over a year ago. With a firm dedication to sustainably sourced seafood, it absolutely knows how to deliver. Also, as far as we know, it's the only place in town doing oshizushi (pressed sushi)."

"All the seafood on the comprehensive menu of sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi is selected based on the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch guidelines. Try the oshizushi, a pressed sushi style that’s tricky to track down in the Twin Cities."

"Kyatchi is the only place I’ve found in Minnesota with pressed sushi on the menu. What the heck is pressed sushi?. Well traditionally, it’s called Oshizushi, and it’s sushi that’s packed into a mold and pressed into a square."

"In general, Wakame is probably the most visited and most popular sushi spot in the Twin Cities. It seems like everyone has eaten here at least once, and that’s thanks in part to this restaurants great location right next to Lake Bde Maka Ska, and all the happenings you can find there. Thankfully, this isn’t just some marketing trap."

"Next up is West Calhoun's Wakame Sushi & Asian Bistro, situated at 3070 Excelsior Blvd., Suite 206 With four stars out of 581 reviews on Yelp, the sushi bar, Japanese and Asian fusion spot has proven to be a local favorite."

"A post shared by Origami Restaurant (@origami_restaurant) on Jan 15, 2020 at 2:08pm PST. For years (decades?) Origami was considered the best sushi in the Twin Cities. And although Chef “Ichi” Ichikawa has now moved operations from their longtime downtown location, their Uptown location still serves some of the highest quality sushi in Minneapolis."

"Origami is a consistently beloved sushi spot with a patio right in the heart of Uptown. Grab a beautiful tray and head to a scenic locale near the chain of lakes for a stunner of a summer picnic."

"NE in Northeast, the award-winning project of chef John Sugimura and Xiaoteng Huang boasts 4.5 stars out of 174 reviews on Yelp. From the fast-casual spot’s sushi menu, Yelpers recommend the spicy tuna fat roll for its flavors and size. While you’re there, check out its other favorite dishes too, like the crispy shrimp over rice."

"John Sugimura has an extraordinary knack for knowing what Minnesotans want out of sushi. And by that, we are not talking about mayonnaise-y monster rolls (though those do have their place and time). Instead, he knows we love our tuna, we love our salmon and shrimp, and we love texture and relative familiarity."

"A post shared by PinKU Japanese Street Food (@pinkujapanese) on Feb 20, 2020 at 4:42pm PST. Okay, PinKU in Northeast Minneapolis might not be a traditional sushi place per say, but this spot is so delicious we had to include it. And hey, sushi is on the menu!"

"A post shared by Jacob (@jakubblue) on Aug 27, 2018 at 9:37pm PDT. A skyway sushi spot that is very easy in the pocket, Sushi Takatsu offers a great array of Japanese dishes that is well-loved by the locals, which you can see in the long queues of patrons waiting to have a taste of Osaka in Minneapolis. Their menu includes raw sushi, udon noodles, chicken kara-age, tempura, and more."

"Located at 733 Marquette Ave., Suite 225, in Downtown West, the sushi bar and fast food spot, which offers seafood and more, is the highest-rated restaurant of its kind in Minneapolis, boasting 4.5 stars out of 115 reviews on Yelp. READ MORE: Motorcycle Crash Injuries 3 People In Red Wing"

"With over 50 specialty sushi rolls,Kiku Bistrois sure to please your taste buds. They also offer stir fry, teriyaki and tempura. Since there’s so much to try, we recommend getting a few things to share."

"Nearby, the Nicollet Island Inn—on a small island on the river—has fashioned a romantic getaway housed in an 1893-era stone building. Getting There: Metro Transit’s Blue Line light-rail train departs from both terminals of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport with service to downtown. The Warehouse District Hennepin Avenue Station will put you in the heart of the North Loop."

"This small cocktail lounge offers creative craft cocktails and a food menu that consists of small and large plates that are meant to be shared. And the locally-sourced food makes it all the better. The Nightingale has a small area out front for outdoor dining that is cute and quaint if you can grab a spot."

"Check out Nightingale. Beautiful space, especially the bar, and they have KILLER bruschettas at 6-7 bucks a pop. And a bunch of "snacks" as well. Cocktails are really reasonable as well considering the quality."

"Named as one of the Twin Cities’ best restaurants, The Kenwood serves rich, beautiful and balanced dishes to eager eaters from both Minneapolis and St. Paul. While the atmosphere is reminiscent of an opulent old hunting lodge, there’s something uniquely romantic about it all. It almost feels as if you’re cosying up with your lover on a comfy couch for two."

"The Minneapolis restaurant fills with sunlight that reflects beautifully on the leather furniture and gorgeous artwork. The food is upscale but not pretentious, and the service is always impeccable. I always come here for brunch, and I almost always order their Huevos Rancheros."

"Sometimes the best romance for date night is to enjoy a great meal, a great cocktail, and a great conversation. The upscale rustic dining room and oh-so-good menu at the Kenwood set the stage for all those and more."
