“Good was great.. good service.. The food 8/10.“

“Excellent place for sushi. Great atmosphere as well.“

“The food at Saji-Ya and atmosphere were incredible!!! Our server, Lizzie, was very accommodating to our young children. The gyoza never disappoints!

Kid-friendliness: The staff was so nice to our children! They made special "not spicy" rolls for our girls!“

“Sushi bowl $15 - includes 3 protein of your choice. I got the smoked eel, sushi combo and raw salmon. Tons of fabulous flavor!! Perfect amount of rice, and it was topped with ginger, avocado and dab of seaweed salad!GrubHub note: tried pre-ordering delivery, the order was accepted but then later cancelled.“

“Great, quiet view spot with comfy bar chairs, Excellent sushi, maybe the freshest I’ve had. Nice wines. All very reasonable. If you’re in a rush, the daily made sushi grab and go is very popular they say. I recommend to come for your flight early and enjoy this spot.“

“I had the tako yaki and the sashimi variety platter with a tuna roll and everything was soooooo good! Definitely would recommend to anybody who likes sushi. Just beware because everything had a nugget of Wasabi in it. I love wasabi but if you're not expecting it, it can hit you and their wasabi is pretty potent. The waitress/bartender is super nice and we chatted for a bit about the strongest man competition on the screen and shared some laughs, she's very nice. 5/5, will definitely come again.“

“The food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly and so welcoming.“

“I love this place, very nice staffs , food is always fresh and amazing !!!!!!! Highly recommend Iwa sushi !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I love this establishment! Terrific food and very friendly people! The All You Can Eat lunch menu at $17.99 is a ridiculously good deal! My new favorite restaurant!“

“It seems there's some confusion between Hiko Sushi, an independent sushi restaurant, and Hissho Sushi, the sushi bar located inside Lunds and Byerlys Eagan. Hissho Sushi partners with Lunds and Byerlys and does not serve their sushi on plates, as shown in the photos and reviews.“

“One of the better AYCE Sushi options in the St Paul area, certainly better than what I assume is its sister location Kyoto Sushi in Roseville.

You'll always find something good on the menu when you visit, but consistency changes from visit to visit. You can have an absolutely stellar white tuna sashimi one week and the next it might be rather lacking. If you were disappointed by something you like to order the first time you were here, I recommend giving it a try again if you revisit.

Same goes for service staff - my most recent visit had around 40% (not hyperbole) of our requests either be misheard or just not come out but that's probably the worst I've had it, it's not usually THAT bad. Still, I usually expect 1-2 wrong/forgotten items per visit. Still, since it's all-you-can-eat I usually eat the mistakes too, they're still tasty :P

Depending on the time of day, especially weekend dinner times, it can get pretty packed and noisy - make sure to reserve over the phone if you plan to come then. It's pleasantly quiet and quick service at a time like 4:00 though.

It may sound like it's a negative review, but despite being inconsistent with what you get delivered to your table, I've consistently still left satisfied. Good eats

Parking: Parking lot is mildly small and can really fill up during peak dinner hours, especially during the weekend.“

“Nice, good service, Great food it’s a place that we keep going back to“

“This place is the AYCE I've been looking for in MN. The sushi is so fresh and the portions are great. I only did 1 round of orders. I usually don't order a bunch of rolls since nigiri is my go to. I did order the Spiderman roll to give it a try. The flavors were great, the food was beautifully presented, and the service was wonderful. The server was quick to communicate everything with me. I think most people who complain about the service don't savor their meals or have only been to tokyo sushi (and similar).
The ambiance and layout already tells me it's about quality and not pushing out fried food. The place was super clean and the music was perfect for the restaurant. The sushi chefs sliced per order and made sure my order was presentable and accurate. I'll definitely have to go back to try their ramen since a lot of people were ordering it. This is also one of the only places I've seen offering temaki "taco style" that I missed having in Seattle. *not for AYCE, I believe
If you're looking for thick cut nigiri, flavorful dishes and quality service, this place is for you. If you're looking for cheap thinly cut low quality sushi, 2minute premade mixes, you should go to those cheap AYCE places that are dimly lit so you can't see how dirty it is.“

“Been there twice, Barbara and I LOVED it. Great food great people- Don't miss this one!“

“I ordered take out over the phone, and it was easy.
I ordered:
1 green river roll
1 salmon avocado roll
1 spicy tuna roll

The sushi wasn't amazing, but it was decent. The green river was my favorite. I liked the crunch of the shrimp tempura and seaweed salad. The eel sauce was tasty and balanced the flavors too.

The spicy tuna was ok. The spicy mayo had a good kick to it, which was great! It was a little bit on the dry side though, so maybe it could've used a touch more spicy mayo in the mixture. As for the salmon avocado, it was good.

I love when chefs use minimal rice when making sushi, because it makes it easier to taste all the other ingredients. New Fresh Wok sushi chefs did just that.

Overall, I liked the sushi and would order it from here again. I am also excited to try the other Chinese dishes!“

“The staff is great! Food taste amazing, overall a great atmosphere. Didn't mind grabbing a drink at the bar while we waited for an awesome show!

Kid-friendliness: The servers are so great with kids! They gave the kids crayons and paper to have some fun with.“

“Frankie was great at recommending the right single malt!“

“Amazing Sushi! Highly recommend the B.M.W. roll!!“

“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.“

“Definitely recommend this place in Woodberry it’s a little dark in there but it seems nice their service is a little slow but the food is good!“

“Amazing Food and great service“

“Food was great server was greater! Thanks“

“I had the edamame and vegan stir fry. The food was delicious The server was wonderful and the atmosphere was divine.

Vegetarian options: From stir fry, to vegan truffle french fries, to a tasty sounding vegan burger option. Everything from whole plant food nutritarian to pure junk food vegan.

A wonderful selection.

Dietary restrictions: Great choices for vegetarians and vegans.“

“The Philly roll has the perfect blend of smoked salmon with cream cheese. Tempura broccoli is a must eat. The BBQ eel fried rice is amazing. Salmon sashimi is always tasty. Treat yourself to a Volcano roll. End the meal with red bean & green tea ice cream.

Most things have avocado in them, but you can ask for it made without.“

“It was pretty okay! We were greeted and seated pretty quickly given the late time. Decided on several things to share with my friend. Friend and I enjoyed talking and got consistent refills on our waters. The food was pretty tasty, especially the monkey brains. I’d definitely come back to try some of their other food options!

My only big issues were that my friend and I asked for a split check and were not given one, as well as the fact that I asked for cheese on my tteokbokki and was given plain. Simple miscommunications, however. They did not ruin the experience by any means! Price was higher than expected but not terrible.“
