Everything about this place is delicious! I swear the food tastes better everytime I eat there. KURIMICHIKIN RAMEN is a must have, it is what hooked me, but I highly recommend trying everything. Not to mention, the service is outstanding. You will not be dissappointed. read more

Delicious, amazing pricing, and Hawaii-born and raised approved!! But we all know that! I've been meaning to come here for SO LONG. I was born and raised on Oahu, just moved to MN a handful of years ago and I'm always looking for food that reminds me of home. And this is one of them! Even the prices remind me of home?? I'm so impressed with the delicious food at such an amazing price point - you hardly see that in MN. Ramen is always soooo over priced, but not at Staff Meeting! We had the tonkotsu ramen, mom's fried rice, and the wings. All absolutely delicious and I'd get them all again. I wish they had the ribs, I was hoping to try it! I'll definitely return and highly encourage everyone to visit!!!! read more

Staff Meeting is in a larger food court building that contains other food establishments, most of which serve East Asian cuisines. It's a really cool place that has plenty of varied seating locations. Staff Meeting itself is a fairly compact space peppered with pop culture decorations. It's also unbearably loud: the booming music, kitchen operations, and boisterous staff created a headache-inducing cacophony in such a small space. Luckily, we were able to find much quieter seating elsewhere in the building. The food is great, as well as reasonably priced. The ramen is delicious and super filling. We also enjoyed the wings, which were fried to perfection and well-seasoned. read more

Came here for date night at it was lovely! We had seen this place on TikTok and decided to give it a try! The ambiance: This place is located in a small food hall! There were other great options too! So this would be a solid date spot or meeting with friends so everyone can get something they like. There is a fair amount of seating inside and a fair amount of seating outside on a patio. There really isn't a view for the patio. There are free parking lots across the street though! Service: This is where they lost a star from us. The woman who took our order had no energy, wasn't very friendly and just looked annoyed we were ordering. I had heard good things about the service, so this was a bummer. The food: We got them take out wings and each got the pork ramen. The wings are very good, but best in twin cities? No. Are they worth getting? If you love a crunchy wing, then yes! The ramen had the most flavorful broth!! Oh my goodness it was rich and full of flavor! The noddles were cooked perfectly! Definitely one of the best ramen dishes I have had in the twin cities! We would have tried the ribs but they were all out of :( Definitely check this place out! read more

This place has been popping up on my FYP everywhere so had to try it out! I got the tonkotsu ramen the broth was very flavorful, thick and creamy. They do not skimp on the meat! I do wish the porkbelly was a little more tender I definitely had to chew through it a bit. By the end of the bowl the soup was getting to be a bit to heavy for me, but overall I think it's still a great option for ramen! read more

I have already reviewed Staff Meeting but after eating this ramen, I had to post another. The Tom Yum ramen is amazing. The broth is flavorful and rich, the meat falls apart, it's perfectly spicy.... It was perfect. We ate it outside on the patio and even though it was kinda hot out, it was worth it. read more

the first word that left our mouths was "woah" bc this has to be some of the most delicious ramen we have ever tried. the pork is so tender, broth is flavorful with crispy garlic!!! we also ordered the dragons breath, which was spicy and crispy. the server added a helpful tip to dip it in the broth! the vibe here is industrial food hall (we didn't know it was a food hall so if you want to try more items there's a ton more places to try!). definitely would come again! read more

Mom's fried rice with a side of chicken was delicious. The Japanese Curry Moco was okay, if you love a gravy-like curry then I recommend this dish. I recommend going during a nice day do you can sit at the patio and enjoy the weather. The interior of the restaurant is a pop of color too. They were pretty busy when we got there but they tried their best to serve us quickly. read more

Amazing ramen - the soup is so creamy and has some sweetness to it. The attach on tots is a must have. It is very rich - so we couldn't finish it. Maybe a few pieces was enough for me, but the air fried left over was amazing as well. Great food and great vibe. Will come back for more. read more

Thanks to a Tony Cu TikTok we checked this place out at Eat Street Crossing we ordered the Oboreta Dango and kimchi fried rice to share while I ordered the Blaze of Rengoku ramen and my wife ordered the Kurimichikin. The Iboreta Dango were fabulous, some of the best gyoza we've had...little flavor bombs! The same could be said for the kimchi fried rice even though we only had a few bites it was every bit as delicious the next day for breakfast with some fried eggs on top. Last but not least the ramen! Rich and wonderful and loaded with stuff other than noodles. We both agreed the Blaze of Rengoku was the better bowl, but both help to place Staff Meeting in our top 3 favorite ramen places in the metro. read more

The ramen and wings at Staff Meeting are amazing and the staff is super friendly - the main chef gave my boys Pokemon cards! My family of 4 enjoyed our dinner there this past Sunday. My two boys also liked being able to see the kitchen and how our food was being made. Seating right at Staff Meeting is slightly limited but there is plenty of seating in the broader Eat Street Crossing area. Highly recommend, especially for ramen! read more

I forgot this place was at eighth Street crossing super cute location. I got the creamy chicken Ramen, which was super good. It was a big portion in my eyes, not spicy at all and the spice that they had kind of tasted like taco salsa spice which kind of threw me off so I would bring your own hot sauce. Sriracha would really go well with this, but the broth is super creamy and very well season then the chicken comes perfectly grilled and a good texture. Love!!!! read more

Met at ESC with a group of foodie friends. We were all set at eating at Staff Meeting after seeing all the foodie content on social media. The menu has items that don't list what's in the dish and this limits me a bit as I don't eat seafood, beef or pork and need to know if that's involved before spending my money on it. I asked the employee if the moms fried rice had beef/pork or seafood in it and he said he didn't know but before he finished another employee from the back cut him off, so I skipped it. Some others in our party said it might have pork but turns out - find out days later it doesn't have any meat. There was also a bit of language barrier as we ordered certain items the employee was trying to tell us certain dishes had fish sauce, which I appreciate the warning. We ended up ordering 4 apps. OBORETA DANGO (DROWNED DUMPLING) - veggie version THEM "TAKE OUT" WINGS ATTACK ON TATER - w/ chicken chashu DRAGONS BREATH The dumplings and tater tots were good. The wings and dragons breath were decent and crispy however we encountered bloody chicken at which point I get pretty grossed out. The space is small we did see a big tub of cooked chicken further back and wondered if they just flash fry it and add the sauce. We also seen a huge tub of raw chicken so maybe they cook it when you order but either way definitely need to make sure it's fully cooked. A few others ordered ramen and they weren't very impressed but I won't go into details as I didn't try it. It's a great concept but not sure I'd go back anytime soon. read more

Chef was friendly and the energy inside was welcoming. You could tell he loved what he was doing and that says a lot. The space is perfectly decorated with tons of anime features and and open kitchen feel. There is a huge open space to sit right outside of the restaurant which I loved, you had more than enough space. The ramen broth was spicy and flavorful. All the toppings were really good. I wish the pork belly was a little more charred but that's a personal preference. The take out wings were super crispy and juicy and had good flavor. I am already thinking about when I can get this again! read more

I got the tonkatsu ramen after they told me ribs were sold out. He said it was the next best thing on the menu so I happily complied. This was by far THE WORST ramen I've ever had. I'll give them that the noodles were chewy but I swear it was majority whole milk in that broth which was just so nasty and out of place. The pork chasu was also so dry. I was so disappointed. Im sure the other stuff on the menu is great but this was just not it for me. read more

I went here for trivia at Eat Street Crossing on Mondays. My partner and I come regularly but haven't tried much food there. We hadn't eaten so we decided to try out some of the restaurants there. The service was quick and the price was ok for the portions. It was later in the evening so it wasn't very busy, but eat street crossing itself is fairly popular in the evenings. I ordered the Vegetarian ramen. It came with cabbage, tofu, carrots, and mushrooms in a soy sauce based broth. Overall, this wasn't anything special. The broth was too salty for my taste and didn't have much depth in flavor. The veggies were nice but I would have liked more on there. The tofu was okay, it seemed likely pan fried. This is my first time going to a ramen place in Minneapolis so maybe my expectations were too high, but I'd skip and try a different place if you are vegetarian. It does seem like the meat options are popular, though. read more

another place i'm not sure what the hype is about... NOMd: - fried rice. not sure what's so secret about this bland rice. - tonkostu ramen. decent. friend NOMs: - veggie ramen. she wasn't a fan. - dumplings & tator tots. they said were solid. - them take out wings. One of them was bloody so they didn't touch the rest of them. service, etc.: the inside is super cute. i love the interior. unfortanetly just didnt like what i tried. read more

Wow I have been missing out by not having been to Staff Meeting yet! Seriously everything we got was so delicious and fresh. The service was amazing and the serving sizes are quite generous! The ramen broth is the best broth I've ever tasted; the perfect amount of savory and sweet. The Attack on Tator tots were a hit with my whole group! Located inside Eat Street Crossing food building in the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis. There is plenty of seating inside the building along with several other restaurants. Street parking available. If you are wanting to eat delicious food while supporting local businesses this is a must! read more

Staff Meeting is a colorful, welcoming restaurant inside Eat Street Crossing. I tried the Appa with Da Choppa ramen, which is their vegetarian option. There were so many different veggies and layers of flavor, it was definitely one of the best vegetarian ramens I've ever had! The grilled bok choy was an especially nice, smoky touch. The restaurant had a limited menu when I visited, so I look forward to trying some of their other items in the future. read more

Located in a Dining Hall full of great choices and a great bar - please try the Mezcal Paloma on tap - it is very good. 3 of us all ordered and then shared. Ordered 2 different Ramens - but they liked them so much, did not share. Also had the wings - very good, the dumplings - also very good. Shared the fried rice and that was also excellent. Finished the meal with Sebastian Joes ice-cream. Was there on Friday night, every seat taken, the people come and go quickly. Can't wait to go back and sit on the patio when the weather warms up. Very eclectic customer base. Highly recommended. read more

Misleading menu: ordered the kimchi fried rice because the description included pork chasu. When it came out, the bowl looked good so I forgot about it but now that I'm seeing other's reviews and photos of the kimchi fried rice, I realize that mine didn't include the strips of chasu but instead just a fried egg. It was yummy, but not what I expected. read more

My friends and I ordered the classic tonkatsu Ramen, the mom's fried rice, and the dragons breath. I liked the ramen. The broth was a little salty, but the pork belly and the noodles were good. The dragons breath (chicken karaage) was really good. I loved the batter for the chicken and the spicy fish sauce that came with it. It was a great pairing. The mom's fried rice was kind of addicting. It didn't look that special, but the seasoning on the rice was delicious. It was light and flavorful. I would go back, get these dishes, and try more items on their menu! read more

I wasn't expecting to have a spiritual awakening when we randomly decided to pop into Staff Meeting but when I put those ribs into my mouth I think I saw God. Never had ribs this fall-off-the-bone good (please don't tell my mom). Couldn't even get a pic of them before they entered our faces. The classic tonkotsu ramen and rengoku tom yum ramen were both phenomenal. Chef Lou is so friendly and down to earth! Easily the best spot at Eat Street Crossing.

Stopped in on Black Friday and was greeted by a dapper mustachioed tattooed man who cheerfully explained the menu, and when something was sold out, quickly proposed a delicious work around. Top notch service! The interior had anime playing, really funky bright manga style comic wallpaper everywhere, with lots of wood, wide windows and garage bar style seating- a really fun breezy vibe. A lot of the names in the menu are pop culture references, which is unique and playful. We got the take out wings, the ribs, the sesame balls, the pork ramen and the curry rice bowl, which he generously adapted with the karaage, since the chicken katsu cutlet was out. It was a really tasty swap! The ribs were stunningly tender with crispy onions and a delicious sweet salty glaze. These are enormous ribs! The generous portion of the takeout wings was perfectly battered and crunchy, with tender juicy meat all glistening with a sweet teriyaki style glaze. Both had green onions and a sort of sweet pickled radish accompaniment. The pork ramen had a silky rich broth with fantastic mouthfeel and a great depth of flavor- I could drink a gallon of just this broth! The noodles were springy, the egg jammy, and the meat flavorful. I would reorder this in an instant. Highly recommend! The curry rice bowl with the substituted chicken karaage was really hearty, filling and comforting. The chicken was perfectly tender, while being crisp and crunchy, and the Japanese curry sauce was thick, savory and smooth. The spice profile was perfect, not spicy but perfectly balanced flavor. Such a great dish! I'd love to try the curry loco moco with this sauce next time. Finished with the sweet sesame balls which were dense and chewy and the right level of sweetness. All in all it was a great meal in a relaxed cool environment. We had a lot of leftovers since the portions are so huge, but they just tasted better later. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. Our compliments to the mustache man, he really ensured we had a great experience! read more

Ever been to a place where the chef is PASSIONATE about his work? Staff Meeting you get the front row seating with the chef himself on how his dishes came to be and who he is outside of the kitchen. Chef Louross brings flavors to the next level by elevating taste, texture, and color! Tonkastu Ramen was the most milky-silky smooth broth Ive ever had in MN. The bed of the pork is nicely fried, the noodles are cooked to perfection, and it all pairs so so well. TatorTots- My buddy picked the style and was amazing. The explosion of flavors and how the tators stayed crispy after all that sauce! Chicken Wings - CRISPY is what I love. JUICY is what I want. This delivered Beef Ribs- Yo, this is marinated for hours AND fried. Not to mention, it falls off the bone... No more words, just try it out Loco Moco - First timer having this! Love the combination of flavors put into one! The patties were THICC and seasoned well. I'd honestly would love to see it on a smash burger! Gravy is not grainy, smooth and slight thickness to it You need to come check it out for yourself. Make sure you don't forget to ask for the spicy sauces read more

I had high expectations for Staff Meeting and it lived up to the hype. I ordered mom's fried rice and the chicken wings. The fried rice was amazing and filling. I didn't get to try the chicken wings fresh but once I ate them I was blown away by the flavor. Incredibly delicious even cold but I image if they were hot I'd be in heaven. I liked how they gave you pagers to indicate when your food was ready. My son loved his classic ramen as well. Parking for ESC can be difficult. read more

The fried rice mom style was so basic that it was delicious. It doesn't need a lot of different flavors. It was basic to where I feel like I was kind of at home eating my mom fried rice. The tornado fries were alright. I honestly thought it was something else, I should have done a better job at choosing the right item to try. The chicken wings were decently a good size. It wasn't big, but it had enough meat. The chicken wasn't dry, and it was crunchy. The services, they give you a buzzer to grab your food. However, the front person was great and welcoming. The place/ ambiance can get crowded fast, and it was a good place to sit and eat. The only problem about this place is the location. There isn't any good parking to get to this Eat Street space with all the food. read more

I came to eat street crossing on a bright spring day, excited to see the new restaurants that opened there. Staff meeting's menu looked the most appetizing to me and I asked the staff for help deciding what to get! Because I was so hungry and wanted something filling, they pointed me to the moco plate.
