The ambience is clean and inviting. Service was really good; attentive and prompt. Food was good for lunch, though not the best sushi we've had in the Twin Cities, it was fresh. We would visit again if we're in the area. read more

A very good sushi place in Minnetonka. We aren't on either coast, but Kai's does it well. Always fresh with great noodle options too (Udon and Raman). Plenty of other really good options too for your non loving sushi family and friends. We always get great friendly service and the prices are very fair. Our go to place for sushi and we always come back. read more

I only get takeout and it's always fresh and delicious. Get the Hot Mama roll, it's the best!

We were looking for a quick lunch while out running errands. Stopped in here and I am really glad we did. The place is tactfully decorated and it was very clean. My husband got the hibachi chicken. He said the miso soup was the best he's ever had. The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the vegetables were so fresh. I got the Jenny roll and it was really good. A good balance and the fish was very fresh. The server was very attentive. We will definitely be back with friends. read more

Kai's Sushi & Grill - Sushi Bars Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

The restaurant and staff were nice. However, for the price of sushi and the amount you get, NOT worth it. We spent about $80 on THREE rolls (thinking they would be huge because they sounded amazing and because of the $$$), and the portions were teeny tiny. I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants in the metro, and I think these were the smallest rolls I've ever had. I will say the sushi tasted good and I have no complaints with the food quality, but it felt like a scam. Unfortunately I will not be returning. read more

Went there last night for the first time. Service was very efficient. Pot stickers were good, a lil more doughy than I would prefer. Egg rolls were really crispy and good. The Minnetonka Roll had lobster, it was good. The Golden California Roll was ok, just a CA roll deep fried. I wish they would have left it in the fryer a lil longer. Bathrooms were clean. read more

Always amazing food and fast. We always get to go so not sure on service but they are very nice when picking up food. Clean establishment.

Amazing little restaurant. They have very delicious and large creative ingredient sushi rolls. The sushi there always tastes fresh. I got the curry with tofu, I kind of assumed it would be Japanese style curry but it turns out it was Thai Curry with a really nice coconut flavor. read more

Found this gem of a place after 2 failed attempts at finding a place for dinner. This turned out for the best because this place is awesome. Great service and the food is legit. From the sake, to the rolls, everything hit the spot. Went here with a buddy and we were warmly welcomed by our server. She even recommended some great places to try in the future. When I'm in town I would certainly love to come here again. Give it a shot! read more

We didn't like the ramen, and the service was ok. Additional parking in the back, we asked a guy on his break if we could enter to the restaurant through the back door but he didn't say anything to us. Not the best way to treat customers, but hey everything isn't for everybody. read more

Got there right when it opened and had fast service! Brought our two kids and the staff helped grab cheater chopsticks to start. Clean and nice atmosphere. The lunch specials are amazing! Stop, go there for lunch TODAY! It was our first time and the food did not disappoint. Everything we had was flavorful and we even had leftovers. I would recommend the boxes if you are looking for variety and don't want sushi. My wife got sushi and we ate it before I could take a picture. Enjoy! read more

We have made Friday lunches at Kai's a fairly regular stop and we have decided that their Bento box menu selections are the tops among the half dozen or so options we have considered in the last two years. The preparation is excellent and the servers are pleasant and non-obtrusive. The back entrance is a bit unusual, but there is always ample parking in back. read more

I know not to expect much eating sushi in the midwest when coming from San Francisco but was recommended this place and saw the reviews so I decided to give it a try. I was let down. The two main things that didn't do it for me was the rice and the need to drench everything in (unagi) sauce. The rice was hard and just didn't taste right. I'm surprised because it seems like they have good enough traffic where the rice shouldn't taste like it's a day old, especially by dinner time. As for the sauce, I have never had salmon belly sashimi, or any sashimi served with sauce on top. I was surprised and confused when they brought it out. It wasn't horrible but definitely super unnecessary and ruined the point of enjoying sashimi. Service was good and staff were very nice. I just didn't really care for the sushi, but the cooked beef teriyaki was tasty. read more

As you walk in you are transported to Tokyo it looks like a you're in Japan restaurant. Nice touch . We go there often and they know us now first off the sushi is unbelievable fresh never a whiff of fishy smell and the kitchen is open right in front of you japan style. I have never gotten anything there I didn't love But I always base is spicy crab , spicy California, shrimp tempura roll "wife's fav"and a dragon roll then we experiment with one of their specialties ... Always a great time , great food reasonably priced superb sushi chef's real deal you won't be disappointed read more

Far from my first visit to Kai's, I do love this place. Any time a friend wants to get sushi together, this is my first suggestion. With your classic sushi place feel, service that's polite and simple, this is a great place to get some good food. The Sunrise roll is a must-have for me any time I go, but I've never been disappointed by a roll I've had here. You will leave happy and full!! read more

Craving for sushi - more specifically nigiri - after work, and wanting to try a new sushi spot, I stopped by Kai's Sushi and Grill. I got the Beef Tataki, Fatty Tuna Nigiri (Toro), and the Sushi Platter with California Roll and Miso Soup. The Beef Tataki was not the usual thin slices of beef. It's an actual whole steak, but more on the thinner size of steaks. The exterior had a crisp and slight char texture. The middle: moist, beefy, and medium rare. The tataki sauce was not as citrusy, vinegary, and strong in flavor as the usual tataki sauce. However, that's not a bad thing. The sauce was still good and not overpowering the beefy flavor. This was delicious. I would reccomend getting it as the appetizer. The California Roll and Miso Soup that came with the Sushi Platter is what you'll expect. Not bad. Pretty good. And they do their job. The sushi platter consisted of 10 nigiri. Man, these nigiri are so good. You can tell the fish cuts are good quality. Since I have a shellfish allergy, my nigiri were: 2 Salmon, 3 Tuna, 2 Yellow Tail, 2 Snapper, and 1 Albacore. They were all superb. My favorite was the Albacore, but again, they are all good. The Yellow Tail had the more natural chewy texture. The rest was more naturally fatty and had a bit of a delicate and slight melt in your mouth affect (some more delicate than others). The Fatty Tuna (Toro)? Sheesh it was delicious too. It also had the delicate and slight melt in your mouth affect. Although it was delicious, the nigiri from the sushi platter I would say would be on the same par. The service was good. The waitress was cool and engaging. This may be one of my go-to sushi spots. The best in Minnesota? I'm not sure. But good quality and delicious sushi? Definitely. I will be craving for Kai Sushi & Grill and may be tempted to stop by often. You definitely won't go wrong here. read more

I had the sushi lunch here and the quality was great! The nigiri was especially on point. The rice was just right - not too firm, not too soft, yet held together well to accompany the fish. All the fish were really good and I was highly impressed. Price was fair for lunch as well. I'll go back anytime! read more

So happy to have this spot in the suburbs for delicious sushi, ramen and great service! The sushi is fresh, flavorful and well constructed. My personal favorite is the zesty salmon roll and always enjoy the classic sweet potato roll and peanut and avocado. My husband has had a few of their ramen and noodle dishes and they're all great. They have a lot of to go business but also have a well designed dining room for when you're looking for a dinner out! read more

Decided to stop by on a Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered a couple appetizers and shared the ramen. The appetizers were good but the shumai lacked some flavor. The ramen was super delicious and extremely filling. We split the ramen and it was more than enough. Only critique I have of this place is the service. It seemed like we were a little ignored by the staff and it was hard to find staff when we needed something. Other than that everyone was super friendly! read more

The food was fresh and delicious, fairly speedy, and served with a smile. The ambiance was wonderful as well. Five stars!

Best sushi. Hands down. I could go every day. Twice. Folks are nice and the setting is great for families and for couples. What a gem !!!!

we went to Kai's for dinner on a Saturday night. the place was full. Some had and enjoyed sushi or sashimi for dinner others had the Hibachi NY Strip Dinner. The fish was fresh and well prepared and the Hibachi was excellent. Service was very attentive and the prices were in line for most sushi restaurants. I'm sure to be going back again. for the quality food this restaurant serves. read more

kai is awesome, what a host and customer oriented person who puts his heart and soul into their restaurants. my mom is notoriously tough to impress/please, both in life and at restaurants, so i was relieved to see her happily chatting (in mandarin, no less!) with the owner within moments of meeting. already a big win in my book without even trying the food. this was our first time trying this place. we did a carry out order of sushi/sashimi combo (the base level one) plus the cooked octopus appetizer. price point is as expected for the freshness and quality. you're not paying much more than a lot of restaurants offering substandard service and sushi/food. even after just this first visit, i could tell Kai's restaurants are popular with repeat customers. put this one in your rotation the next time you want Japanese food! read more

Plenty of parking. Quickly greeted and seated. Server immediately took our beverage and food order. Salad with Ginger dressing(double yum), Edamame Freshwater Eel, Bluefin, Yellow tail and a Trio Roll "Spicy Crunchy Roll"(Yellow Tail, Tuna and Salmon). Great service and very friendly. Sashimi and Sushi were good. The Trio roll was cold in the middle as though it hadn't thawed out. Good all around except the roll. Prices weren't low or high, middle of the line. 4of5 stars. Give it a shot? read more

Kai's Sushi & Grill - Super Mario Roll and Sweetheart Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Minnetonka, Minnesota

Kai's is a welcome addition to the restaurant offerings in northwest Minnetonka. Pay no attention that it's located in a 1950s strip mail next to an auto body shop and yoga studio. Or that access is a bit tricky and parking in the front is limited. Go for the sushi (although they do have curry on the menu) and sashimi. And the appetizers. We started with gyoza dumplings that were very tasty. 8 pieces for $7 is quite reasonable. The miso soup is among the best we've had. We've often had squid that is rubbery, but Kai's takoyaki was tender and delicious. Our entrée was the sushi and sashimi platter, which was beautifully presented and quite substantial for 2. Kai's is an intimate space with minimalist furnishings (except for the giant TV, which they could do without). The staff is pleasant and efficient and the ambience is relaxing. With so many sushi places popping up, a visit to Kai's in Minnetonka is well worth it. read more

My roll was very delicious and was not a problem to make small modifications. Appetizers were delicious as well. We had miso soup, edamame house, salad, vegetable, goyza (potstickers) to start all very nicely executed and tasty. My wife said: "when are we coming back"? food was beautifully presented and very delicious! read more
