Top Sushi Restaurants in the Twin Cities
Surprisingly, the Twin Cities has a great variety of great sushi restaurants that could compare with some of the best in Chicago or New York. If you are looking for a great sushi restaurant check these three places out first and you’ll thank me later.
Origami
Origami has won numerous Best Sushi in the city awards from various magazines and critics thanks to their fresh selection of sushi, affordable prices and great location in downtown Minneapolis. They have recently gone through an extensive remodel of their dining room, bar and sushi bar to provide an even better atmosphere and experience for their customers. Besides having some of the best sushi in the Twin Cities, Origami has one of the most popular happy hours in the downtown area that brings in a variety of customers, from business men to couples to baby boomers.
Obento Ya Japanese Bistro
This relatively new sushi restaurant in the University/Como area is a small but cozy place to huddle up to the sushi bar and grab some great sushi, a signature bento box and a beer. You won’t find a more friendly and accommodating sushi restaurant in the Twin Cities. Not only do they have amazing prices but their sushi is just as good as you’d find anywhere else in the country. For a great sushi experience, especially for a first date you can’t go wrong with Obento Ya.
Fuji Ya
With two locations, one in Minneapolis’ uptown neighborhood and the other in downtown St. Paul, Fuji Ya is one of the hipper sushi restaurant chains in the Twin Cities. They attract a younger crowd at their Minneapolis location with their hip decor and large fish tanks around the restaurant and a nice mix of families and business men at their St. Paul location. Both locations offer the same great sushi but a different atmosphere, that’s for sure. Check them out for a consistently great sushi experience.

The Sushi Experience $23.19 From Hiroko Shimbo, the well-known and widely admired authority on Japanese food, here is the most comprehensive, engaging, and instructive book that has ever been written on the fascinating world of sushi the delights of eating it, preparing it, and savoring it in its many forms. Shimbo introduces you first to the history of sushi (it started out as a way of preserving fish) and shows how it has evolved into the phenomenon it is today, relished by food lovers the world over. She then takes you into a typical sushi bar guiding you in all aspects of the experience, from the ordering of sushi and the etiquette of eating it to the appropriate exchange with your sushi chef all in Japanese, of course (you can tear off this sheet and the one on the back flap to tuck into your pocket so you’ll have these valuable tips with you the next time you visit a sushi bar). For the home cook there are step-by-step illustrated instructions on how to make sushi rice properly and how to shape the rice around a variety of delicious fillings (primarily of cooked and preserved fish and seafood, omelets, vegetables, and seasonings). There are sauces and accompaniments to complement the sushi meal. A new world will open up as you discover sushi pouches, tossed and arranged sushi salads, sushi for the lunch box, and sushi dolls to make with your children. Now, along with the professional chef, you are ready to tackle raw fish and seafood, and Shimbo gives you all the tools what fish to buy, how to be sure that is safe to eat raw, and how to slice it expertly. It’s all here in this all-encompassing, gloriously illustrated book, along with stories about fishermen, knife makers, tea growers, wasabi farmers, and sake brewers, to inspire American cooks to create, and enjoy, our own perfect sushi. From the Hardcover edition. |
