My wife was craving sushi, and we were in the area, so we decided to check it out. Not a huge place, but looks great and the server/bartender was phenomenal - as was the sushi. Highly recommend!

Mediocre sushi with waitstaff that could not be slower if they actively tried. Usually the sushi chef ends up bringing the food over himself when he has a break because they just leave the restaurant for long stretches. Plan to spend a minimum of an hour here and then to feel like you wasted both your time and money in the end. Other than the location literally inside Lifetime for convenience, it is difficult to think why I have not walked the 100 steps to the next unaffiliated restaurant or how I have made the mistake of forgetting how awful it is to eat here and then coming back. The mediocre food is likely why I do this since it is easy to forget since they're not actively poisoning you, just being massively disappointing. The service, across multiple different waitstaff, is deplorable, and as I write this, the waitress has just been reminded that a customer has been waiting ten minutes for a menu. I am hoping that I can remember my last experience long enough not to make the mistake of attempting a meal here again.

Well, the sushi is not bad. We ordered three different Sushies (Mexican, Cherry Blossoms, angry Emily) and two Nigiris salmon and shrimp. The Nigiris were horrible, low-quality Wasabi, which they had a lot for the Nigiri. The shrimp and Salmon were dry and simple, with no soy sauce. I want to say the sushi is similar to Billy's sushi but cheaper. It was too simple for my taste. So far, Cubble House and Kado No Mise have the best sushi in Minneapolis and surrounding areas. The service was ok, but the food took forever, and the place had 2 tables. One waiter and one cook. It is next to a gym, so you must check in with them before going to the restaurant. We paid around $110 for two no drinks.

Great place to be honest! They should open it to the public, maybe?I love sushi in general and I can definitely say these are great quality. My taste bud lean more towards the healthy side. So If you’re looking for something like that? I’d recommend it.

Tim and Christina are fabulous! Great sushi!
It’s inside Lifetime, I love it! The angry Emily is in the picture. No gym membership needed, door will check ID.

Everything I’ve eaten here is always 10/10 and the service is awesome too! Rare has quickly turned in to my go-to sushi spot!

Our group seemed to like it.
The sushi are good, but for a lifetime location it should be the best (i.e., 3.5 for quality). The service is good (i.e., 5 star). Comfortable place and some cool decor, but again for a lifetime quality it should be one of the best (i.e., 3.0). Overall being that it is considered “the best lifetime in the twin cities” I’d expect it to be a better overall experience. I guess I expected this place to be superior to other which came to the disappointment. It is a good place, just doesn’t meet the standard of other location in comparison. There are much better places than this sushi place if you love sushi and the experience that comes with it (i.e., 3 star comparison).
I probably eat here too much because it's so convenient and delicious.
