33 Best Japanese Restaurants near Fridley

“My family and I came here to enjoy the cuisine here. The price is affordable compared to other places. The dishes are okay, not too salty. But I don't like the sushi very much. Because the rice on the sushi portion is very big. The special thing here is a melted chocolate tower that my child really likes. In general, everything is okay.“

“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.“

“I've been here dozens of times over the last decade or so. It was always 'average' as far as the food went. Then tonight happened. They must have a new manager or head chef. I got sushi/sashimi for two like so many times before. But this time the presentation and garnish made it a whole new meal. It was fabulous.“

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

“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.“

“I don’t remember which dish my wife and I got but it was delicious. Service was great.👌“

“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!!!“

“My family has eaten there a lot and the food quality has always been good. It is consistently good. Sushi is great as well as presented in an artistic way. Great neighbors place to enjoy lunch or dinner. I enjoy having a glass of wine with dinner too!“

“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.“

“My husband loves Japanese food and we came here for his birthday. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was really clean and easy. Austin took our order at the counter and was such a nice guy! Marvelous customer service, he really made the evening special. Jim especially loved his eel and I had the ribeye udon. We loved the yuzu shiso Spritz!“

“Really friendly staff and delicious sushi!“

“Love the food here- it’s my ‘treat yourself’ spot with solid ramen and great staff who are very helpful!“

“One of the best sushi spots in the north metro! Their happy hour menu makes getting sushi more affordable and the quality and portions are not lacking. Warm and professional staff. Calm atmosphere. They even brought out our toddler’s food before the sushi was complete, and that speaks volumes to me. Their salmon and spicy tuna rolls are exceptional. But, every roll we’ve tried, we’ve loved! Highly recommend and will be dining in again soon.“

“Great food!!! We've had both of the steak and chicken fried rice. As well as the steak and chicken hibachi with fried rice added.

They were delicious!!! The yum yum sauce & the spicy mayo (not very spicy to me in case someone doesn't like a lot of spice) really set the flavor of the food off nicely!!!

This time I got the Thai milk tea. It's pretty good. It's creamy & not as sweet as other places I've been. Sometimes the sweetness is overbearing. I didn't want the Boba so I can't tell you a comparison there.

I DEFINTELY recommend!!!“

“We had a big group of us place separate takeout orders for pickup, and despite this place being relatively new, I thought the staff handled this quite well, bringing the food to us as quickly as possible. We had I think 8-10 people picking up orders, each who had ordered at different times, and they finished giving us all of our orders in about 15 minutes. Everything was well packaged and sealed. I foolishly forgot to get a picture of my rolls, but I ordered the 3 roll lunch special for 15.99, the agedashi tofu, and the short ribs - which, let's talk about those short ribs, y'all. They were well seasoned, tender, and rich - although the meat wasn't fall off the bone, it didn't need to be. The agedashi tofu was nicely fried, paired with bonito flakes and the takoyaki sauce - if you like tofu you might like it! For the rolls, they present a combination of possibilities: I did the Alaskan, the spicy tuna, and the eel avocado. There are TONS more options to choose from if you check out the online menu. The menu for this place is quite robust, featuring ramen, fried rice, and some stirfries. You can even build your own ramen. Other local spots unfortunately no longer do sushi during the day, so this might have to be my new go to for a sushi lunch!“

“Wave Sushi has delicious, high-quality, and reasonably priced fare. The atmosphere is friendly and energetic. A colleague recommended Wave to me, and I’m so glad they did. I also absolutely recommend this gem of a lunch (or early dinner) spot!“

“I love this place the ambiance is great and the family focused environment is adorable with the whole family working together to help out! The food is great but not even kidding the Pepper chicken is the best flavored Asian chicken dish I have ever had”.”“

“Everything was very good. I got the White Russian roll which was fantastic. I will say the calamari is definitely a skip. The squid was rubbery and the batter was oily. The vibes in there were awesome. Super cozy and cute. Our waitress was very kind as well. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the mochi either, but the sushi entrees were quite good. I’d come back!“

“I am in love with One Two Three Sushi! If you are looking for fresh food with the perfect portion size, that matches an amazing price; this is your place.“

“The dining experience was notably distinctive. Upon arrival, guests are invited to select their own seating. When prepared to order, patrons proceed to the counter to submit their selections. Subsequently, a robotic delivery system transports the food to the table, contributing to a self-service ambiance.“

“great food and good staff“

“Comfy and simple layout with a fantastic quick option for lunch. I used to go here all the time when I lived in the city because they are super efficient, really kind and the food is great. My go to is the shrimp and shrimp combo but everything I've tried here is good“

“We always wanted to come here, and today was finally our first time eating here! The food was absolutely delicious, the people were so friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is very spacious and comfortable. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back! ❤“

“This is by far my favorite place to eat. I usually pop in for lunch 1-3 times a week. The servers are wonderful and the sushi is the best i've had. My go-to's are the crazy tuna rolls and mn rolls. I recommend this place every chance I can.“

“Absolutely fantastic food consistently!! Crazy Monkey Roll is a favorite and Ginger Mushroom with Chicken.“

“This place was pretty good! The only thing that kept me from giving this place a 5 ⭐ rating was because my shrimp were a bit over cooked. Everything else was really good! Our cook was entertaining. Overall we had a good experience!“

“The sushi was pretty good and reasonably priced. They were generous with the salmon in the salmon roll and Philly roll, and the fish was really good. However, this is a ghost kitchen in a sketchy area. I don't recommend walking from downtown after dark, and definitely avoid Currie Ave. The locker pickup system didn't work that great and I had to wait around for about 10 minutes even though my order was supposed to be ready when I arrived. And the staff are basically hiding in the back...“

“I've never had the hibachi here, just sushi rolls in the booth section. I go fairly frequently and it hits the spot every time. They are short staffed a lot of the time so every once in a while there is a bit of a wait but I don't mind. They are nice about it and last time I waited a bit longer than normal and they brought me miso soup!
Overall it's a great place to go for a casual date night! Excited for the next time I get to go. 😊“

“I LOVE this Place food was everything…“

“First thing I have to say is that I ABSOLUTELY love this place. I have and will continue to take a 20-min drive to go to this place for the food. Some days, it's amazing and cooked to perfection. Other days, it could use a little more seasoning.

My main issue with this place is that it says it's closed only on Sundays on the physical location, and it says it's closed on Sundays AND Mondays on Google Maps. Personally, I'd love to have it open every day, but as a small business, I'm sure the owner needs their own free day.

I'd like to also congratulate the owner in the renovations and upkeep they have been putting into the shop, and I love seeing how they are growing.

Keep up the good work, and I'll be back for sure in the near future.“

“Food was excellent, lunch is from open till 3pm. But u need to be there before 2:45, otherwise dinner starts. We got there at 2:50 and was charged for dinner. Ot was worth it, they put out fresh cooked crab legs, crayfish, mussels. We asked for vinegar and they said they dont have any.“

“Kaci was an awesome server“
