Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Woodbury

"There are some things that you only do once a year, like renew your Amazon Prime subscription or watch A Christmas Story. The same can be said about going to Kado No Mise for the omakase experience, which costs about $200 and is the best sushi meal in Minnesota. All of the fish is top quality, the wasabi is grated in front of you, and there’s a tiny brush for you to paint on their homemade soy sauce."

"Kado no Mise, translating to “Corner Restaurant,” serves Edomae sushi and simple, delicate Japanese fare, true to the tastes and form that Chef Furukawa learned when he first started cooking professionally in his hometown of Tokyo. Wednesday - Sunday | 6pm+. Explore Kado no Mise"

"The Zen-like surroundings underscore the delicate simplicity of the classic Japanese cuisine, including nigiri, sashimi, and seafood starters and entrees. If narrowing down the selections is too tricky, opt for the multi-course omakase at the sushi counter."

"Snag a spot on the Zen Box Izakaya sidewalk patio to enjoy Japanese comfort food and one of the best bowls of ramen you are going to find in Minneapolis. I can’t even look at their menu without my mouth watering. They have walk-up reservations and are just up the street from the Stone Arch Bridge."

"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."

"For decades, Origami in downtown Minneapolis, was considered some of the best sushi in the Twin Cities. Then, in 2013, Chef “Ichi” Ichikawa opened an Origami Uptown location, and shortly thereafter, transferred the entire downtown location to Uptown. In doing so, Origami traded an old brick building for a trendy Uptown location, featuring two levels and a massive outdoor patio."

"Satisfy your craving with an incredible array of fresh sushi and sashimi options or be a little bold and order a specialty roll. Try the spicy salmon for a burst of flavor or the broccolini for something different. Take your Sunday Funday to Origami and enjoy happy hour all day!"

"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!"

"NE in East Bank-Nicollet Island, the sushi bar and Japanese spot, which offers seafood and more, is the highest-rated sushi spot in Minneapolis, boasting 4.5 stars out of 213 reviews on Yelp."

"This lively spot in Northeast specializes in affordable Japanese street fare and serves a fantastic, fresh selection of sushi in addition to other dishes like yakitori, gyoza, and more."

"The gist: Billy Tserenbat, the man behind Twin Cities food truck turned brick-and-mortar Sushi Fix, opened a second concept in the former Sweet Chow space last spring.The food: Standout sushi, including the NoLo YoLo (salmon, red snapper,) Silly Billy (spicy tuna, shrimp tempura) and George Clooney (snow crab and shrimp topped with big eye tuna.)The cost: Sushi dishes range from $7 - $25.How to order: Order takeout on Upserve or make a reservation on Tock."

"Billy Sushi is a fresh fish experience like no other in the Twin Cities. On my first visit here, I was blown away by melt-in-your-mouth nigiri rolls that rivaled some of the best sushi I’ve had in places like Seattle or New York, which hold an obvious coastal city advantage. Billy makes sure to serve them at the perfect temperature (not too cold) and the fish has that soft, tender trademark that only the freshest catches can bring."

"Said to be one of the best rooftops in the city, Moto-i knows how to do Japanese. Flavorful bowls of ramen, perfectly fluffy steamed buns, indulgent fried rice and, of course, their on-site sake brewery. Enjoy the twinkle of the lights at this popular summer hangout."

"While Moto-i doesn’t have your typical sushi rolls, they do have incredible Japanese food including ramen, steamed buns, sashimi and fried rice. Come for the food, but stick around for one of the best rooftops in Minneapolis."

"Coming in at number ten on the list is a local favorite, moto-i. This bar is unique in and of itself. This is one of the only sumo themed bars in the Minneapolis area, if not all of Minnesota."

"With its elegant pillars and contemporary furniture and chairs, M St. Café promotes a leisurely dining experience for guests of The Saint Paul Hotel and casual passers by. Featuring a menu of inspired takes on classic brunch items, like the corn flake-crusted French toast, or their sweet potato waffle, food simply comes fresh and fine here. Catch other chefs dining alongside its hotel patrons, for M St. Café’s award-winning Sunday brunch."

"With its solid, tasty salads and sandwiches and European-style sideboard (read: buffet), M Street is great at getting workday lunch-goers in and out in a jiffy. The sideboard options change daily and are much better than your run-of-the-mill buffet with options like chimichurri steak or salmon Wellington available with plenty of tasty side dishes for just $12.95.

"I was really impressed with the attention I received and the espresso was so smooth. It was my first time here but won’t be the last!"

"Magnolias Restaurant, a breakfast and brunch and comfort food spot in Payne Phalen, is another budget-friendly go-to, with four stars out of 82 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1081 Payne Ave. to see for yourself. The restaurant serves breakfast all day specializing in comfort-style food."

"There are just 14 stools inside this tiny breakfast and lunch spot on Northeast’s Central Avenue. Built in 1949, the blinking bulbs on the distinctive red, yellow, and turquoise sign rightly suggest eating here. Come for the massive pancake for just $1.50, or the Friday-night fish fry—the only night the Ideal serves dinner."

"Sitting tidily on Central Ave., this neon-topped diner has boasted 14 stools, one counter, and no bathroom since 1949. It’s the perfect spot to escape and enjoy a solo meal that you’d rather not have to explain to or share with anyone. Battered and craggy chicken-fried steak with two runny eggs and hash browns is that meal."

"I'm a professional truck driver I eaten at many place's across America and Canada this place is a small diner next two skating ring there food I…"

"Situated in a Spanish Mission-style former church in South Minneapolis, you’ll be captivated by stories told through collections of paintings, historical photography, and prints dating from Muscovite and Russian Empire times to the former Soviet Union to modern post-Soviet Russia. Even if what you know of Russian culture is limited to borscht or vodka, you’ll be awed by the beauty and history of the extensive collections of lacquer, porcelain, textiles, nesting dolls, and holiday ornaments. Bring home the beauty of Russian craft with a little something from the artfully curated Tmora gift shop."

"Since 2002, The Museum of Russian Art has served as the Twin Cities’ window to art, history, and culture of Muscovite Russia, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, its former republics, and post-Soviet Russia. Housed in a beautifully renovated historic building, the museum’s multi-level galleries provide a tranquil and intimate setting for their exhibitions and educational events. A one-hour tour is free with admission."

"The Hmong Cultural Center is a small community exhibition, but it’s well worth a visit to this University Avenue gem that’s been in Saint Paul for about twenty years. Located conveniently next to the Green Line, spend some time learning about the Hmong population’s experience, art and history in Saint Paul, and you might befriend one of the hundreds of people who take community classes at the center. While you're in the area, stop in for a bite at one of our favorite University Avenue restaurants."
