21 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fridley

“Teppanyaki Grill and Buffet has one of the more extensive selections of buffets in all of the Twin Cities. I tried many of the different options they had available on their weekday lunch buffet, and most of the dishes were very good. The honey chicken was my favorite dish. It was so crispy and wasn't too sweet or syrupy like others I have had at buffets. They had a nice selection of seafood with with different kinds of shrimp, 2 types of mussels, seafood toast, many types of sushi, seafood bake etc. The cream cheese wontons were ok. They had a good variety of desserts as well, including a chocolate fondue. Can't wait to try the weekend dinner buffet with the extended seafood offerings.“

“Very nice experience we all enjoyed definitely coming back!!! Everything was just perfect 🤩“

“Really friendly staff and delicious sushi!“

“Best matcha in the city! I have tried quite a few places in the Twin Cities and Cafe Yoto takes the cake for best matcha. You can tell the matcha is good quality and the atmosphere of the cafe/restaurant is lovely. I live out of the country but whenever I visit (which is almost every month or every other month) I always make time to stop here!“

“This was our first time trying and everything was delicious. Service was also amazing I wish I would have asked our waiters name. He was very kind and offered what he thought would be best for us he definitely hit the spot! Thank you for a good lunch ☺️“

“I needed a treat, and did I ever get one in my bag of takeout tonight from Midori’s Floating World Cafe (in their temporary Seward Cafe location). The dumplings, entrees, and dessert were exquisitely prepared, with flavorful sauces and broths. Glad I splurged on the Daifuku: it was a little work of edible art. This food woke all of my senses for spring. I’ll be back.“

“Great food and friendly service. This is a great find and a must go for moderately priced Japanese food in the heart of Minneapolis.“

Lance gave EXCEPTIONAL service! As well met another family, from how family friendly the environment here is!Family restaurant/ business savvy space! Sushi bar!

“This is my favorite place to grab lunch on the weekdays. Quick and easy ordering through a kiosk. Food comes out quite quickly. I highly recommend the volcano roll, it’s an explosion of flavors in your mouth. Very fresh fish, friendly staff, and the music makes you want to dance!! For non sushi eaters- they have chicken options, the bang bang chicken bowl is another favorite.“

“Love the food and excellent service!!!“

“Food was great server was greater! Thanks“

“The food was excellent! Probably one of the best! and the service provided by Brian and Riley were over the top superb. It was obvious that they loved working there and took such pride in doing it. So refreshing!!!“

“The Miso was delicious, the menu is not specific enough or maybe I don’t eat enough sushi to know. When I read “7 assorted sushi” I think the typical ones like a sushi roll, no all huge slices of raw fish. It wasn’t the servers fault so I just gave it to my friends, paid the bill and left. I think if you’re super into the raw fish texture you’d love this place, it was the largest slices of fish I’ve seen served that way.“

“My family and I have been going here for years. Birthdays, reunions, celebrations, you name it, this place is our first choice. We absolutely love the food here, everyone is friendly, and no matter what you get, it is quick and a great quality.“

“Went to Raku this afternoon for the first time for lunch with my sister. The menu is great with lots of pictures and descriptions (even answers gluten free questions without needing to ask the server!) The food was INCREDIBLE! We ordered a handful of things but the Intense Ginger martini and their Mojito were amazing. They have a jalapeno yellowtail sashimi which was our favorite! Prices are great and the server was super quick and kind! Will be going again!“

“Didn't expect great sushi in Blaine, but it really is quite good. It tastes fresh and they have plenty of unique flavors and rolls without costing too much. We've tried almost every roll they have now and our favorites include the number 9 and the spicy girl rolls. Also it has a nice atmosphere, it's nice to be in a restaurant that is dimmer with unique colors.“
