30 Best Japanese Restaurants near Minnetonka

“Absolutely excellent sushi! Great service! Love Kai’s!“

“Very fresh sushi and flavorful ramen. The only dish I didn’t enjoy was the chicken noodle stir fry (not pictured). While it was cooked well and packed with vegetables and meat, it was lacking a whole lot of flavor. That said, the service was great, and I’d definitely come back to try other dishes again.“

“Excellent sushi & customer service! So delicious!“

“NEVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY !! They were randomly closed on a Wednesday, which is fine, however their website DID NOT provide this information ! I ordered my food, they took my money, and the confirmation said that the pick up would be the following day . So I went to the location to see what was going on and that's when I saw the sign in the window claiming they were closed . They have NO option to cancel your order once you've made it so I had to wait to the following day to call . They refuse to refund me my money - I'm only in office one day a week , I'm not driving 35 minutes to pick up food that I wanted the day before ! Whoever answered the phone kept talking over me and cutting me off , she admitted that they don't have a way to cancel an order once it's made (which is ridiculous, I could've just canceled it that day and we wouldn't be in this situation ) I explained to her over and over again that their website DID NOT state that they were closed but she didn't care ! Long story short they got $20 out of me and lost a customer for life !“

“We had such a fun time at hibachi! The whole experience was entertaining, and the food was amazing. Our server, Queena, was great—super friendly and attentive. We came to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and honestly, it was the best place to celebrate. Highly recommend!“

“One of the best sushi spots in Minnesota. Mid to upper end of price, but well worth it for an occasional visit. The vegetable fried rice is also a standout. It's not on the official menu, but you can still order a Loch Ness roll along with the sauce and it's superb.“

“Amazing staff, first time there , explained the process well. Our server cooked the first round for us to show how it works. Great decor , atmosphere.“

“Great food! Love their sushi!“

“My wife and myself had the lucky experience of passing briefly through Minneapolis, and decided to try this AMAZING AND TRUE GEM !!!! I am from Lima and we have been able to eat on many great places that serve our delicious food, both in Lima and in the US. To say it simply: K’ikinaco is easily our #1 restaurant, period. There, here, anywhere!! Congratulations friends !! Patricia and Enrique RP. (Arriba Alianza tocayo !!)“

“Fantastic quality, portions and reasonable prices! Service is excellent!“

“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!!!“

“Always super friendly and have always treated us well. They've always treated us well and have a great sushi happy hour! Never a long wait from order to table. My wife loves the steak dinner with rice and I frequent the sushi. We also go with the gyoza for an appetizer!“

“*uber eats review only*
I ordered one of their lunch specials which was 3 sushi rolls with a side salad or soup
For $14 it's a great deal
Hiked the spicy salmon roll the best
It appeared freshly made and stored nicely in the box with enough wasabi and soy sauce! Chopsticks were also included(not the ones in the picture those are my own)“

“I absolutely love it. You can pick your ingredients and sauce. It comes in a compostable bowl which I really appreciate. My little girl wanted some Edamame and Mango only and they made her a tiny kids bowl to go. Awesome customer service!“

“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.“

“Ichiban Sushi is one of those culinary gems that quietly earns a devoted following. While it's an all-you-can-eat restaurant, the quality and attention to detail are far beyond what that label might suggest. The fish is consistently fresh, the rolls are beautifully prepared, and every plate arrives looking like it was made to order rather than produced in volume. The karaage—a Japanese-style fried chicken marinated for extra flavor and fried until perfectly crisp—deserves special mention as well. It's crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the flavor is so well executed that it would be a standout dish even at a restaurant devoted entirely to Japanese comfort food. Whether you're ordering sashimi, nigiri, specialty rolls, or appetizers, the flavors are clean, balanced, and satisfying. The atmosphere mirrors the food itself—relaxed and approachable, yet surprisingly sophisticated, with a level of attention to detail that challenges every assumption people might have about an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

What keeps me coming back is the rare combination of abundance and craftsmanship. The all-you-can-eat format encourages exploration, yet every dish arrives with the same care and consistency as a traditional sushi restaurant. The staff are warm and attentive, service is efficient, and there is a genuine commitment to quality that shows in every course. In a region where exceptional sushi can be difficult to find, Ichiban has created something truly special: a restaurant that proves generosity, hospitality, and excellence can all exist on the same menu.“

“Best Sushi in town. The crew is top notch! Jacky, Kou, Dan and the rest are the best!“

“The food is insane good!!! Great atmosphere.“

“The food is insane good!!! Great atmosphere.“

“Our favorite Sushi restaurant. You won't find better food, value, or service anywhere, and proud to say that this gem of a restaurant is in our own Channhassen back yard!“

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

“Superb service from a very friendly staff that deliver excellent food from impressive menu options. Prices are the least that I've seen recently, especially the " all you can eat" lunch or dinner selections.“

“wow. best sushi in town. the lady that helps at the front please take care of yourself, the business is very busy and for the most part people are responsible and respectful!“

“Best sushi in Maple Grove!“

“Nanni&Ricardo Great job on the serving part!?“

“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.“

“Reasonably priced all-you-can-eat buffet! The menu features sashimi, hand rolls, fried dishes, various noodles and various other dish.

Been here many times and always have a good experience. You order the dishes you want and they bring them out.

We like to order 3-4 times during our meal. Sashimi is our favorite and we order around 20 pieces at a time. Our favorite roll is the spider roll with the soft crab.

We get a reservation when we have 6 or more. With a smaller group we have had to wait for 10-30 minutes, nothing unreasonable.“

“It was a good experience. One negative however. My party all received their food quickly. My plate was slow getting to the table. They said it would be a few minutes, but it was longer. Our waitress was attentive and accommodating. I dropped a fork on the ground, and she came to the table with a new one, before I asked. The restaurant appeared clean, and had a modern look.“

“Kaci was an awesome server“
