If I could give no stars for service, I would. Reading the other reviews, it seems that others have experienced the same poor service as I have and makes me wonder why this action has not been corrected/addressed.When I went with my friends, there was little to no service (only took orders and gave it to us, didn’t even fill our waters). Because of this, I didn’t feel that there was any service worth tipping and I clicked the “no tip” option when paying. Immediately after I did so, the server rudely proclaimed “No tip? Do you have cash tip?” and when I responded that I didn’t have any cash on me, she retorted with “How are you gonna tip?” I was at a complete loss of words, but I offered to tip as I didn’t want to make a scene. The server seemed annoyed that she had to reverse the transaction to add a tip (that I didn’t want to give in the first place). While she was in the back figuring it out, I headed to the restroom, but she stopped me to add the tip right as I opened the door. I was completely astonished at her behavior and humiliated as the restaurant is a small space and this happened in front of the whole establishment. I only tipped 10%, but it was 10% that I felt was undeserved and that I was robbed of.When I returned from the restroom, my friend informed me that another server approached our table and tried to explain the actions of her coworker. Apparently, the tip here is shared amongst the servers and kitchen staff. The food is relatively inexpensive and they don’t charge a credit card fee. Therefore, the tip would be used to cover the deficit created with the lack of the credit card fee.However, if the tip is mandatory, they should inform the customer beforehand instead of chasing them down and forcing out a tip. Additionally, tipping is usually only for service and, although expected, is optional. As I stated before, a tip was not something I felt was deserved in this scenario.This was my first time eating here and it will definitely be my last. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone and instead be turning them to other sushi restaurants in the area with better service and better food.

Great spot for classic sushi. They have all your regular Japanese dishes and rolls, along with some tibetan food. Great prices too!

Small space, when we went in we were lucky enough to find a table and didn't have to stand and wait.Service was fast but felt a little rushed. My sushi was delicious, however, my husband didn't like his hibachi combo too much. The soft-shell crab was good but I went without the katsu sauceThis location only has paid street parking and a parking garage that is free on weekends. Other than that I would recommend it, because sushi is their speciality and you can taste it in the quality.

Best sushi experience I’ve had in a while. Let’s start with the service, wow, just a big huge wow. The entire staff went above and beyond! Now, let’s get to the food. Holy moly that was some good sushi!

Best sushi for the money here in MN! Space is limited so it can feel a bit crowded on a Friday or Saturday night. No reservations are allowed. First come, first serve, unfortunately, but it's understandable with the limited space.
The atmosphere is very cosy and feels like a family place. The sushi itself was great, very tender!

We live in the neighborhood and get AMA for takeout a few times per month. The food is always fantastic and the service and staff are great. A gem on 50th and France!

The restaurant was very busy but the wait was not long, so wait, it is worth it. A busy restaurant means it’s a place we all want to be! The customer service was efficient, wonderful and friendly. We enjoyed the experience as the food was fresh, great price for the great quality! We will definitely return again.
