This conveniently located hot pot restaurant is connected to a ramen, matcha, and bakery shop (maybe the same owners...). There is ample seating space and I sat down, immediately. Ordering is simple-- everything is done on a tablet. There is a small but good fruit/salad/sauce bar. I am not a big hot pot person, but I liked this place. Pros: Very speedy service. They have robot waiters! Lunch price is really reasonable Do not sleep on the fruit or cold salad options Cons: The broths were all kind of watered down. After every "top off", the broths started to taste the same.

So, if you want bigger space to yourself, this might not be the best to go for you! Appetizers were really yummy with good options (mostly Asian but you can also get French fries and stuff)! Sesame balls are definitely worth to try! No dessert other than fruits. Lots of seafood options. Some of the meatballs are a lil interesting with sauce/mayo fillings. And we weren't a fan of those. Service was good but it was weird that we paid before being seated including tips. I personally prefer the Sichuan broth but if you are not good with spices, Korean seafood broth is a good option! We also ordered from a tablet for meat and vegetables so that made things easier.

We ordered the Thai fried rice w/ chicken as the protein, cream cheese wontons and chicken wings. I didn't care for any of it. The flavor was lacking on the fried rice, pretty bland. Even with a spice rack it wasn't that great. The wontons were okay but it was $11 for 5 of them and they were just cream cheese in a thick wrappper. Chicken wings were served with a sweet and sour type sauce. Also bland. The menu seemed solid & maybe the flavor is elsewhere like the curry or other dishes. They had some featured drinks on the board, otherwise it's mostly wine. I tried to order the sake mojito but they were out. We went shortly after they opened, it was empty when we got there but a few more people came in as time went on. Our waiter was Amazing. Very attentive and nice. They share a parking lot to the left of building with Jones Coffee. It's a tiny lot, otherwise street parking.

After seeing multiple reviews of this chain restaurant on TikTok, I was excited to give them a try!…read moreHowever my experience was nothing short of terrible! Located on the south side, 3rd floor. The first thing I noticed when I walked up was that they were out of so many items!! They had a tv screen with napkins blocking at least 3-4 items saying "sold out." I also noticed their fountain soda was sold out of every flavor except Starry and Pepsi. That's wild to me. This is the Mall of America! Despite being out of so many items, the item I was there for, was still in stock. I couldn't help but notice the counters were very dirty. The front of this place also had a lot of trash around it. The mall does get very busy, but this was not a good look, and there are plenty of food joints around here that looked clean. The girl who took my order was straight to the point, no greeting. Just "what do you want." I ordered a number one. This includes 6 wings a side of your choice and a beverage. Soy garlic seems to be the most popular, so I got that. The food was handed to me fairly quickly. But it was not what I ordered. I like a good bone in wing, and I was given the number 2- boneless wings.... Because I don't mind those, I didn't say anything and just took my food. Do not get the boneless! They are spongy, had dark meat in them and at one point I spit out the wing because it just tasted like old chicken! There was barely any sauce on the wings! The fries were standard. The starry tasted like cleaning chemicals and I did not drink it. May be the stand alone restaurants are better, but this was actually disgusting. I will not be returning to this location. Given the amount of food options, I'd say go ANYWHERE else!

I was also confused by the potstickers because they were SO different from any I've ever had before.

The table and seats were clean and service was prompt even with how busy it was. We thought the best deal was the sushi and sashimi for 2 which is $78. You would get up to this amount with just 3 rolls. You can request there to be specific fish (we asked for at least salmon) and we also substituted the crunchy roll for the winter roll. It was served on the wooden boat which was really fun and eye catching. The rice was a bit hard for me but the fish quality was fabulous. The portioning was perfect for 2 people. The rolls had a nice flavor but the hard and slightly cold rice ruined it a bit. Not sure I will be back but a great place for those looking to try out Japanese food!

This place is absolutely fantastic! I've actually been coming here for a few years with my friends…read morefor happy hour. Recently, I started coming for the food dinner and realized I was missing a lot. Their menu is very thoughtful in each dish has a nice variety of textures and flavors. I will say that their Ramen is one of the best in town. I think really what sets it apart is the broth being super in depth and they grill the pork belly which makes it really smoky and tender. This time I branched out and got the grilled squid as well and it was exceptional. The soy ginger glaze on it was incredible. The only few downsides I think I've noticed is service can be a little bit hit or miss which is surprising how small the places. Even when sitting at the bar, it took a little bit to get their attention. Also, I've tried a few of the cocktails and for the main part they just taste like alcohol with a soda. They sound extremely creative on the menu, but the balance isn't there. Either way I've typically gotten sake as they have a nice little selection. Overall, I love the whole vibe of this place. I always enjoy being able to see people make sushi. It's very open yet. Doesn't get overwhelmingly loud. Definitely my top three Japanese spots in Minneapolis.

I am SO torn on this review. Here's the breakdown:…read more Menu: Their menu options are so awesome. Authentic Japanese food, tons of options, and lots of fun stuff. Drinks: The Last Samurai cocktail & the Imposter Among Us mocktail were both delightful. Love the unique drink options, and the two we had were executed beautifully. Sushi: Unfortunately, the sushi was a bit disappointing. We had the hotate yuzu, Suzuki oshizushi, tamago nigiri, and the futomaki. The rice was unfortunately undercooked, and also too lightly seasoned. The tamago was alright, the futomaki was very good though. Dessert: The yuzu custard - one of my favorite desserts I've eaten in a long time. Definitely the best thing we had and I would absolutely get it again. Service: Our service was pretty good. I did watch one of the other servers grab soup spoons by the part you eat from and then bring them to a table which was concerning. Note: For anyone with dietary specifications: they offered gluten free soy sauce, and the custard was a vegan dessert and it was delightful.

She seated us in a roomy booth and immediately brought us some waters. We ordered a the fried dumplings and the sesame balls. Both were absolutely delectable, best of each I've had in my life. The sesame balls had a crispy sesame coated exterior with a sticky bun interior and sweet bean filling. The fried dumplings were perfectly cooked to delicate perfection and were accompanied by a soy sauce with freshly minced garlic. Those didn't last 2 minutes on the table. We ordered the twice cooked pork and stirfry lamb as entrees and, as other reviews have said, the portions were generous. As for the the meats, they were thinly sliced, tender, and cooked to perfection. The spice level was right on point, not enough to numb your tastebuds but surly will leave you with clear sinuses. The spice contributed significantly to the succulent flavors found in each dish. Each entree comes with a bowl of buttery white rice. As a man of high caloric intake I was very satisfied with this establishment's CPD factor. As a genuine touch, there is heartfelt apology for rising prices due to rising ingredient cost and bird flu found at the bottom of each menu. 10/10 will eat again.

I ordered the Stir Fry Spicy Beef, Mapo Tofu, and the Pork Belly. Everything was tasty and have no complaints as far as the actual flavors. I do think that the Mapo Tofu should always be soft tofu rather than firm, but that's just a personal preference. The beef was plentiful and extra tender and the pork belly was perfectly melt-in-your-mouth, so good that I felt like I had to ration it throughout the next few meals. I do wish it came with more rice. I ordered three sides and only got one box of rice. I was hoping to have at least two so I can eat it for several days. However, to end on a positive note, when I walked in to pick up my order, the woman (owner possibly) was incredibly friendly and spoke Mandarin to me. She was welcoming, funny, and we briefly argued how spicy food should really be for it to be enjoyable. "The spicier the better," me thinks. Come show these guys some love!
