“We ordered an ice cream pie for Christmas Eve. We battled over the options, everyone wanted a different flavor. We settled on Carmel Collision. It was outstanding!”

“10/10 great service, food, and atmosphere.”

“I had a wonderful day/night experience hanging out with my beautiful new friends and neighbors. After years away I have been searching for a gorgeous new spot that is local, upscale and delicious. Mission accomplished. Sam was an exceptional bartender/guide and the staff couldn’t be more professional and the ambience couldn’t be more sexy. Love it see you soon.”

“Had an absolutely amazing dinner at Manger. Everything was perfect. Roasted oysters are a must. Great service. Great wine list.”

“Have been there for breakfast and it is in the top 3 (gotta count my husband as he cam cook). The breakfast side is like an old soda shop with sassy little signs. Service was awesome on both side the cafe and the bar. Do not want to give this away but Monday night 3.00 burgers, you cannot got wrong. Also the first place I have not had to tell the bartender that a strawberry margarita get sugar not salt. It is just a great little spot.”

“Tl;dr: Tsuta Ramen has fantastic food and fantastic service.

In an age of maximized profits, viral sensationalism, and unrelenting sprints to be the next big thing, quality has long been cast aside as the focus of most modern business practice. However, this cannot be said about Tsuta Ramen, who combine the lost art of excellent and friendly service with excellent food. While the location may not be flashy, what you get is a humble, comfortable, restaurant with cute decor, excellent food, and supreme service. I’ve visited numerous times, and every time I am amazed. I wouldn’t say I’m treated like family there, because family can be mean. I feel more like I’m treated like a favorite neighbor, being welcomed into the house like I haven’t been seen in ages.

I will preface this review with the fact that I almost always visit during non-rush times. When you do visit, you are greeted warmly and seated right away, given seating availability. Waitstaff arrives very quickly, and greets you with the same warmth, if it is someone different than the person who seated you. The menu is almost entirely Japanese cuisine, and quite generous in its selection. They are always happy to explain the menu, and when you do finally make a choice, your order is whisked away like the waitstaff is on a mission. You get drinks quickly, and every time I have visited, I’ve gotten my food incredibly quickly as well.

The food is simply incredible. American food is meant to be bold, sometimes outrageous, and generally simple. This is not that. Japanese cuisine is meant to be complex, subtle, and titillating. Tsuta Ramen understands this and delivers a product that lives up to the expectation. Everything I’ve had is absolutely delicious, with a symphony of delicious flavors and textures combined in ways only found in Japanese cuisine. I’ve yet to find something on their menu that I didn’t love. And as their namesake represents, the ramen is first rate, with generous bowl sizes. After your meal, you can leave with a fresh boba tea for the road. It should be noted that this is not a sushi restaurant, and they do not offer any sushi on the menu, so adjust your expectations accordingly.

If you are in the mood for Asian cuisine, especially Japanese, there is no better choice. Tsuta Ramen embodies the spirit of incredible service, and incredible food, in a humble, cozy restaurant. Don’t skip this place!”

“The BEST place to buy ice cream. VERY generous portions. It’s delicious!!”

“We recently got married (October 2024) and Lake Elmo Inn catererd our wedding. It was absolutely AMAZING! We had the prime rib carving station and the walleye as well as the duck soup and salad. Our guests are still talking about the food. We decided to upgrade to the "LEI Experience" which means each of your guests get a warm hand towel, an intermezzo sorbet, and a chocolate covered strawberry!!! We were over the moon with the service on the night of the wedding and all our communication with LEI throughout the process. Special shoutout to Kayla G. who was the most patient, professional, and kind event manager! She answered every single one of my (many) questions and she did so with a smile! On the night of the wedding, we were SO impressed with how fast the servers were able to get to each of our guest tables and keep the flow going. It was seamless, seriously. We cannot recommend Lake Elmo Inn Catering enough. They've total pro's and just know that you'll be in good hands. Thank you again to everyone on the team for your hard work to make the dream come true!! <3”

“One of the best restaurants on the east side of the twin cities, if you love wine with awesome food,this owner along with the staff, which is key, know how to serve the two together to have an unforgettable dinner.

“The other night we were headed to a friend‘s house and were in need of some dessert to bring along. My husband and I didn’t realize that Saint Croix Baking Company closed at 5 PM and it was already nearly 4:50 as we were making our way to the shop. I called and spoke with a woman named Olivia. She could not have been more helpful or delightful to speak with. She was more than happy to assist us with getting some desserts and said she would be around a little bit after close, wrapping things up at the shop and not to worry about arriving after 5 PM. She had our order boxed up and met us at the door when we arrived a few minutes after close. Good customer service is so hard to find these days! Olivia was not only friendly, she seemed genuinely excited to help us and wasn’t put out by our last-minute request whatsoever. Wonderful job, Olivia! Thank you so much for saving our night and helping us get some delicious desserts. Everything we ordered was incredible. Nice job on all accounts, St. Croix Baking Company.”

“top notch boba, good vibes if you're into good-hearted people, and epic tournaments. Go here.”
