We paid for 1 hour parking meter so decided to check out this restaurant also. We weren't too hungry so decided to order few light appetizers to try. This restaurant was busy as well, smoke filled the air from the eel. Restaurant was well lit and decorated with their logo.

My family & came in for the first time to try the AYCE (All You Can Eat) Menu for $34.90/person. Our server was very kind & helpful. Our food came out quick and was very delicious. The sushi was fresh & you could tell it was great quality. The restaurant is very clean & nicely decorated. We will definitely be adding this Sushi Location to our rotation. I usually take pictures of all my food but everything was so delicious we totally forgot to take pictures. Oops, next time :)

Okay, another update. I tried each of the tacos today, and I will say I feel like it's a really good deal for how big the tacos are. I ordered to go, but you can look at my other reviews for ambiance and service (both great). Beef taco: this was a lot spicier than I anticipated, in a good way. There's a whole fried pepper on top. Pretty good for a non-seafood option. Eel mango taco: FANTASTIC. Loved everything about this. Delicious sauce, sweet mango, and eel made for a great combo. Shrimp tempura taco: another delicious option. Lightly battered tempura shrimp that didn't feel too oily. A nice bed a crab. Lots of veggies. A+ Salmon hunter taco: I tried this in store, so I already knew I liked this one. This is the only fresh fish option, and it was great. Overall, my favorites were the eel and the shrimp. I'll definitely come back for these.

The AYCE menu is very confusing and I hope they would've made it easier to read. I had to flip back and forth multiple times to make sure I'm order from the correct section. The paper for us to write down what we want is useless! We ended up have to write down what it is we want vs putting quantities on an order sheet. I forgot to take a photo of the order sheet. Service was just meh, we would get our food and no one will check on us until we have a lot of empty dishes. I saw multiple times the servers were just on their phones. One thing is must say is the quality is definitely there. The pieces are a lot thicker than your normal AYCE place. Unfortunately dessert doesn't come with AYCE. I would go back but won't do AYCE.

I had Okidoki delivered at work as part of our Foodsby program; fearing any sort of raw items via delivery, I got the Lunch Special (2 rolls), including a California Roll and a Philly Roll. I honestly wasn't expecting grade A sushi, since the rolls were fairly generic and it was delivered, but they weren't great. The rice was dry, even with soy sauce. The pickled ginger was really tasty, though, not the fake pink stuff. Overall, I won't be ordering delivery from here again, but I would be willing to try them in person and see if the experience improves!

Very disappointing - 1 star! The latest stop in my on-going mission to visit every sushi joint in the Twin Cities led me to Okidoki Sushi. (I'm not sure how many I've been to so far, definitely over a dozen.) I arrived excited but I left angry. I ordered hot green tea and my usual tuna based sushi rolls. In summary, my one roll selection with actual tuna pieces (seared) had rotten, decomposed sushi. I opened them and I dissected them, Chef Ramsay style to confirm the rot. Yes, I detected definite decomp taste - yuck! For you biology nerds out there, the decomposition taste & smell primarily stems from a natural compound called Putrenscine...the name is as gross as the smell. (Everyone who's ever been near old dead fish or road kill knows it and will never forget it.) My 2 rolls with crunchy tuna "salad", meal type filling were horrible and they tasted fake. I couldn't taste any tuna flavor whatsoever. They weren't pink either. All I could taste was whatever gross plant meal product they use to "cut" the tuna and to create a tuna salad type filling. I'm actually a super taster (I'm not kidding) so I can detect these substitution games easily. I could actually see it in the color before I put it in my mouth. All of this made me very angry about the food that is being foisted on, primarily, University of Minnesota students. Obviously, these students are all on budgets and many are pinching pennies. Going out for sushi is an occasional luxury for many of them. But...what if your luxury is rotten and spoiled? I have many fond memories of this intersection when I was a biology student at the University of Minnesota in the 1980s. This exact location used to have a movie theater and a Vietnamese Restaurant next door called "The Lotus". Many times my friends and I would save up our money and treat ourselves to some simple, inexpensive, wonderful Vietnamese food. Fast forward 40 years. I'm angry this food product is being dished out to our young people. Not recommended. -Maxx P.S. The manager could tell something was wrong because I set aside most of my food. He came over, asked me about it, and I politely questioned him about the age of the tuna. He quickly grabbed my tray and he told me I didn't need to pay anything. I insisted on paying in full. In my view, I'm paying for the right to leave my opinion, good or bad. We had a strange little confrontation at the til where I tried to pay in full but he tried to get me to leave without paying. He ended up giving me a revised bill with some items removed. Kinda uncomfortable and kinda weird.

Went on a Saturday for dinner, it was mostly empty inside with only a couple other parties were there at the same time so I sat myself right away. Did AYCE and spent about $50 after tip for 1 person. Things I ordered: - Spicy edamame: This was a dry spice which I've never had before. The seasoning tasted like a ramen packet seasoning, tangy and salty. It was interesting but I did kinda like it. - Seaweed salad: I liked the seaweed salad a lot! Not too overpowering. - Miso soup: Hot and flavorful. Portion was small but perfect for ayce. - Seared salmon nigiri: The seared flavor was sooo good! Probably my favorite item of the meal. I wish I ordered more of it. - Salmon sashimi: The biggest cuts of sashimi of all the ones I ordered. I liked the creaminess of the salmon. - Yellowtail sashimi: Big pieces and I enjoyed a lot of - Ahi tuna sashimi: This was okay, not the best I've had. It was a bit stiff texture wise. - Poke salad: This has cubed up pieces of various sashimi with cubed avocado and cucumber pieces which made it feel refreshing. There wasn't much sauce or flavor but it was still good. - White hot roll: I liked this premium roll a lot. It had 8 pieces of white tuna, sriracha, jalapeno on top and spicy tuna inside. There were a lot of menu items as part of the ayce option. I would've tried more if I weren't by myself. Would come back just to try the other items. I wouldn't say that it's my top pick for ayce in MN, but overall, it wasn't a bad spot!

This new AYCE place on the U of M campus hit the spot if you're craving sushi. Some of my favorites were the seared scallop, creamy scallop, and seared salmon nigiri. There were a lot of premium rolls to choose from too. If you're concerned about parking, the location has a free parking garage which was convenient. However, my biggest gripe is how slow the service was. There were 4-5 tables the entire evening and it's a small restaurant. They rarely came over to check on us and it wasn't that busy. We wanted to order a 2nd round but I think they assumed we were done as we waited 15min after we filled out the order. I ended up walking up to the cashier and paying for dinner as we've already been there for 2 hours. Overall, good food but expect some slower service.

Service is a little slow, but a nice atmosphere and servers are nice That have AYCE Sushi on select items and you fill it out on a paper form, from 2pm-close Sushi is tasty but sometimes the topping sauce overpowers the overall taste of the fish Definitely recommend if you are looking for some eats around the UMN campus area in East Bank

Good food and service. The rolls are nice with delicious sauce. The sushi and sashimi are great. Fresh salmon and yellowtail. Very thick cut. The creamy scallops sushi is a nice taste. The sushi tower is always my goto. Great flavour with rice at bottom and fresh salmon on top. The AYCE price is very reasonable for the quality of food.

Okidoki has the best sushi. It's perfect for take out or dine in, although I often do take out. They have a couple lunch specials: 2 sushi rolls for $13.95 and 3 sushi rolls for $17.95. These specials also come with a cucumber salad, but it's tiny. My favorite is the crunchy shrimp roll and it comes in 8 pieces. Service is always good and the food is always prepared quickly. I highly recommend! Overall rating: 10/10
