6 Best Japanese Restaurants near Excelsior

“We just had dinner here tonight for a friend's birthday! Great rolls, great service! Feel the pricing is a bit high, but then again when is quality sushi cheap?! Overall happy with the meal. Do wish we had some better recommendations on the sparking sake and the edamame had so much salt on it, which was strange. Would recommend for a nice sushi meal West of Minneapolis, in a cute town - Excelsior. A lot of nice shops and other restaurants in the area!“

“Solid sushi spot in the suburbs! My friends and I were nearby for another event and were craving sushi so decided to give this spot a try. Interior was pretty and blue and our server was super friendly. We started with the wonton soup, served in individual bowls and it was okay. Nothing stellar but hit the spot during the cold. The rolls themselves were fresh, loaded, and tasty. Not sure if it's a spot I would drive out of my way to go to, but if I am in the area, I'll definitely stop by!“

“Far from my first visit to Kai's, I do love this place. Any time a friend wants to get sushi together, this is my first suggestion. With your classic sushi place feel, service that's polite and simple, this is a great place to get some good food. The Sunrise roll is a must-have for me any time I go, but I've never been disappointed by a roll I've had here. You will leave happy and full!!“

“A very lovely dining experience for the suburbs. The quality of the food, the wonderful and attentive service and the overall ambience will keep me coming back. The edamame and crab rangoon were fresh and delicious. The sushi was fresh and creatively presented. The mochi for dessert was the best too. Strawberry and Mango...so fresh. I highly recommend and will be back.“

“A lovely place for dinner, with a good selection of appetizers, sushi, and other dishes. We ordered a seaweed salad and rock shrimp tempura to share, which were both amazing. The sushi was pretty food, not the best quality, but still pretty decent. The Okinawa roll was delicious and so pretty! The unagi had some bones it, which I was expecting, so luckily I found and picked them out before I ate any of them. The server was very nice, helpful, and attentive.“
