“An absolutely incredible dining experience

Sanjusan was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in Minneapolis. We went as a group and decided to order almost one of everything on the menu so we could all try as much as possible, and honestly, I don’t think there was a single dish that disappointed.

The Japanese-Italian combination sounds unusual at first, but it works unbelievably well. Every dish had its own unique flavors and textures, and it was so much fun having the entire table try everything together. The small plates, yakitori, pasta, and pizzas were all fantastic.

The Isaac Becker pizza was one of the biggest surprises for me, and the Mentaiko Lumache was another standout. The Hiramasa crudo, pork gyoza, duck tataki, and yakitori were all incredible as well. Even after ordering that much food, we kept finding ourselves saying, “We have to try that too.”

The staff were just as impressive as the food. Everyone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely excited to walk us through the menu. With a menu this creative, having staff who can actually explain the dishes and make recommendations makes a huge difference.

The atmosphere is fantastic too. It’s stylish, intimate, energetic, and just feels like a place where you’re supposed to sit around with friends, order a bunch of things, and enjoy the entire experience rather than rush through dinner.

Sanjusan absolutely exceeded my expectations. The food is creative without being gimmicky, the service is outstanding, and ordering almost the entire menu with a group turned dinner into an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time.

Easy 5 stars. One of the most memorable meals I’ve had in Minneapolis and a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for something truly unique.“

“We had a fabulous dinner! Our waiter was Patrick who made our evening grand! Highly recommend this steakhouse!“

“We had a wonderful dinner with very close friends and everything was world class from the minute we walked in the door. Front of house was very kind and genuinly appreciative, which was very refreshing. Carlos, our server and his team made our evening relaxing, entertaining and are true professionals. We had a couple of Bone in Filets and the Seabass and it was off the charts delicious. Thanks for a memorable evening.“

“Awesome restaurant! We’ll be back!“

“Great experience tonight! It was my first time visiting. Robert was SO great! I’ve been wanting to come here for a while. Robert took great care of us. Food and drink suggestions were perfect and he answered any and all questions we had. Very attentive. The manager also stopped by and greeted us. Food was fresh and delicious! I cannot say enough amazing things about this place 🥰“

“We gathered for a friends Christmas Celebration. Charlie’s made it seem very special. We are not members and found the food, service and ambience to be fabulous. Not your run of the mill menu.

Parking: Charlie’s validated our tickets. What a great perk .“

“Great dining experience with very friendly staff. We liked everything we tried.“

“I’m pleasantly surprised! Usually most airport restaurants don’t care about customers and providing service but this one is exception! I remember several years back the service was horrible but all that changed! Food was great, atmosphere was relaxing and service was exceptional! I guess since this review barcode this place became the best at the airports. Thank you“
