    One of my favorite smaller sushi restaurants. I love recommending this place because not a lot of people know about it, but once you do, you'll keep going back. The staff are SO nice and always remember you when you come back. These rolls are phenomenal. It's smaller and cozy but worth it the wait

    Stumbled across this sushi spot on social media and decided to give it a try. Glad we did, sushi was fresh and nicely presented. Customer service was excellent. The restaurant is well kept and cozy. We live a good drive away but will still come back and visit as it is will worth the drive.

    The best sushi in the Cities! Never lets us down. The presentation is so pretty. Very busy on a Saturday night but worth the wait. The staff is so friendly. There were 4 of us and we ordered 6 rolls, the momo dumplings and tempura vegetables. Sorry I didn't get a picture before the destruction.

    Second visit, tried a few special rolls as well as sashimi. Still not impressed with the rolls - far too much rice and panko crumb for me. The sashimi is excellent, enjoyed that! This will be my last try at Ama - definitely better places around.

    My favorite sushi place! Reasonably priced and amazing sushi. Their lunch specials are a tremendously good deal and satisfies every time. The only downside is their space is small so you may have to wait but it is 100% worth the wait. Arrest parking is available and wasn't too hard to find. I recommend trying them for lunch!

    Yesterday I went to Ama Sushi in Edina for their lunch special! First off they start you with complimentary miso soup when you sit down. Trust me right out of the cold, NOTHING hits better. Then the lunch special is wild. You can get any 2 rolls for $9.99 and 3 rolls for $12.99. This has got to be the best overall lunch sushi deal in the twin cities!! The staff was very professional, and warm when we walked in. Very much felt right at home. It isnt the biggest space but they use it well and we were in and out in under an hour. TLDR: Ama Sushi is an excellent sushi spot and an instant favorite for us. High quality fish, affordable prices, quick service and we liked the calm and chill vibes!

    The food is awesome, but it can be a mad house! We went to Ama since Momo is out of commission for a little while. It was a Saturday night, and we decided to order pick up. the line was out the door (there were many people waiting in the street) to get a table, and when I went inside it took 10 minutes to get a host's attention to let them know I was there for pick up, and another 10 minutes for them to actually bring the food. So I was just standing in the little entrance hall (which fille dup with 3 more people waiting for pick up orders) for 20 minutes. Now, they were super busy, I understand. But they should have a better system for handing out the pick up orders because all of our food was ready! So the pick up experience was extremely frustrating, but the food was great! We ordered the Sushi bucket, which came with 2 servings of miso soup as well. We can eat a lot of sushi, so this was the perfect amount for 2 hungry people. I love that it comes with sashimi as well, so you don't feel like you are eating too much rice. The chef specials roles are whatever the special roles for the week are, so you can't know unless you call ahead to ask. The restaurant is small, but cozy, and there is a tiny sushi bar seating area. Expect to wait if you go at a busy time.

    Small, cozy spot with seriously impressive sushi. I was a big fan of Momo Sushi, so I figured I'd love AMA, and I wasn't wrong. The menu is huge, almost overwhelming at first because there are so many options, but honestly, everything we tried was excellent. The sashimi is where AMA really shines. The tuna belly (toro) sashimi was divine, easily some of the best I've had. Hamachi and red snapper were also incredibly fresh, with generous cuts. This is hands down my favorite place for sashimi when it comes to value and portion size. The gyoza deserves its own moment. Melt-in-your-mouth, easily the best gyoza I've ever had. The golden salmon was good, and the rolls were solid across the board. My favorite was the Sweetheart Roll, and the Tibetan Roll was a fun, unique option if you want to try something different. Sex on the Beach was also a good pick. Service was quick and friendly, and the complimentary miso soup was delicious. They also have great lunch deals and monthly specialty rolls, which makes it easy to keep coming back. Parking is easy with free street parking or a nearby ramp. They don't take reservations, so expect a wait during peak hours, but it's worth it. If you love sashimi and want quality fish without the ridiculous price tag, AMA is a must.

    We came from North Dakota and stopped for dinner at AMA Sushi. It turned out the restaurant was quite small and there were quite a long waiting list. We decided to wait anyway. Outside there's a waiting area with heater which was nice. We didn't wait terribly long which was good. Staffs were very friendly and attentive. Sushi quality was good. Our fav was Naruto Roll. The restaurant is in a very nice neighborhood. There are a bunch of boutique shops nearby. Plenty of street parking.

    A variety of delicious sushi rolls!

    We met with family for lunch at AMA Sushi today. We were a party of 6 so, we did need to wait a bit to sit down. But, it was totally worth the wait. I only took a photo of one of our plates to share. We also had a smaller plate with sushi rolls and sashimi. We have been to Momo Sushi a couple of times and love it. But, because it's not open right now, we went to Ama. Service was excellent and the food was to die for. Although we live on the other side of the river (St. Paul), I will definitely eat here again. I can't wait until the next visit!!!

    This place has everything you would want from a sushi shop. Great food, fast service and moderately good location. It would be excellent, but parking is a little puzzling.. the Gyoza blew my marathon mind. That level of delicate crisp was artwork. I enjoyed watching the sushi show on TV too

    Vegetable Teriyaki Box

    So far I have been here twice with two friends and I strived to get an overall feel of their food taste by ordering different items. In my opinion, they have highlights and items that could use further improvement. Depending on what one is looking for, I may recommend this establishment as a solid spot, especially for sashimi. I have ordered a few different sushi and sashimi entrées and my overall impression was that the sashimi was the absolute highlight. Every type of sashimi I had, ranging from salmon to tuna to escolar, was big in pieces and tasty. Each sashimi piece had different types of fish roes on it as well. I also enjoyed the nigiri, which was basically sashimi on top of rice, and even if the sashimi pieces were smaller, it was still delicious. Because of such, I believe that for those looking for good sashimi, this place would be very solid. The specialty rolls and California rolls were not so different from what I have had elsewhere, so I enjoyed having them and that was it. I just wasn't greatly impressed. I also had some of the momos and they were okay, not spectacular, because there wasn't enough seasoning within the vegetable mixtures and the meat mixtures. The momos relied on the red pepper flake chili oil for flavor mainly. I also had the vegetable teriyaki box and it was underwhelming, because the vegetables seemed very sloppily cut and cooked, and also lacked seasoning. The box had some rolls and scallops in it and that was pretty nice to see. In terms of pricing, all the items including the sushi bucket that I had were very economical. It is pretty difficult to find affordable Japanese food within the United States in general, and even know I know this place doesn't just serve Japanese food, their biggest highlights were sashimi and nigiri, so I will recommend this place to those looking for good Japanese food.

    Sushi with too much garnish.

    Wanted to try a new sushi place we had never been to before. (We usually go to Wakame). The miso soup and squid salad were fire!!! The sushi itself tho, left us pretty unimpressed. The quality over all was mediocre, the rice seemed over cooked, the wasabi was weak, the fish quality wasn't the best, and the nori was so soggy. It was a let down. But again, I would go back for that soup and the squid salad!! The service was also really great!!

We loved almost everything we tried. They have a fairly extensive menu, with lots of apps, street foods, curries, and some surprise dishes that aren't so easily found at other Indian spots. We tried the dahi puri, paneer makhani, tandoori murg, makki roti with sarson ka saag, and several naan. The paneer was creamy with tons of flavor, and my husband said the roti with saag dish reminded him of home - big win! The dahi puri was cool and brightly flavored and crunchy and creamy, perfect starter on a hot day. The only thing I would maybe pass on is the tandoori chicken - while it came out sizzling with a great char, it had some strange flavors, almost like they mixed in chili Gobi or something with it? Not bad, just not what was expected, especially since everything else really hit it out of the park. The restaurant was empty when we arrived at an off time, but started to fill up quickly as we approached dinner time. Family friendly, as we brought our baby and felt comfortable with her both in a wagon and high chair, the service was kind and very accommodating.

The lamb was probably was favorite and was gone very quickly. The chicken was a close second and had a ton of flavor which the naan soaked up nicely. The galub jamun was a pleasant surprise as well. I got an order to go, it was syrupy and a perfect sweet treat to end a savory meal. I would go back! P.s. I ordered mild and the nice waitress politely insisted on medium.

I got the below items and while everything tasted fine, the flavors weren't very robust. Everything was ordered at Mild spice level which had a tiny kick, and the first two came with basmati rice. For some reason they put all the rice in one large foil container, which I later remembered happened last time (2-3 yrs ago). Honestly I wish they wouldn't! Anyway, while nothing tasted bad, 3 stars is the highest rating I can give. FOOD REVIEW: * Palak Paneer -Okay. I can't place my finger on it, but something in the flavor was lacking, and fell a bit flat. * Lamb Vindaloo - Okay. Noticeably more potatoes than lamb. The sauce was a bit thick, almost like canned tomato paste. *Gobi Manchurian - Meh. It was little too acidic (think tomato vs vinegar). Also, sadly it was soggy due to how it was packaged(see pic). They may want to consider using a container that allows steam to escape. *Garlic naan - Okay. TBH I would have been just as fine with the frozen garlic naan from Trader Joes. If I give it another try in the future, and it's for me and someone else I will request they place each entrees rice in it's own container. With stewed/saucy meats and veggies, I like to combine each bite with rice. Without a dedicated foil plate of my own (and say we don't have access to plates 'cause we're out) what do I do? Continuously dip my (used) fork into the communal rice to add into my small container of entree?!
