***SUSHI GOAT ALERT***…read more The best! This is my only goto place for sushi. It is super fresh. The rice is super soft and the rolls are super busy looking very colorful and so so tasty. I don't like to get any seeds or sauce on my rolls. The service here is so spectacular. I love coming here so much. The folks that work here are Japanese & they are so incredibly friendly. The prices is here are literally pre-Covid prices so I like to tip them really well so this place is will always be around. I feel like all of the good restaurants are in Edina! You can't go wrong with a lot of the restaurants in the area.

My husband found Hikari first and insisted we visit. I didn't even know about Eat Street Crossing,…read moreso the whole thing was new to me. So Eat Street Crossing is a food hall, with lots of different fun food vendors. There's a "host" stand at the front, but it's not really a traditional restaurant. I think the person at the stand is just there to help with questions and directions. So anyway, the sushi bar is right in front of you as you walk in. You order at the counter, are given a little buzzer and wait for your food. We went for lunch and when we arrived, there was just one guy behind the counter. We perused them menu and ordered: a trio of handrolls (what a deal at $18), the audi roll and the hikari roll. I thought we might have under-ordered, but it was plenty of food. The one dude behind the counter was in the unenviable position of having to prepare food while also taking orders. He managed it though, and our food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. The sushi was delicious. The fish was very fresh, the other ingredients also very fresh. The hand rolls were unique in that they are actual rolls that look more like logs than the traditional cone. But still delicious nonetheless. If I had any feedback at all on the sushi itself, it would be that the rolls were SO large that honestly I had trouble eating some of the pieces in a single bite. The rolls were pretty wide circumference wise and the pieces were generously thick. But they were very close to too large. I kept looking around to see if anyone was noticing my very poor sushi eating etiquette as I tried to deal with this. Fortunately, everyone was busy with their own stuff. We happened to sit pretty close to the host stand and I asked the guy there what the building used to be ... it's obviously old, with huge wooden beams way up in the rafters and lots of cool staircases running up to what I assume would have been at least the third level back in the day. He told me they used to paint big giant banners/signs in the building. I just thought that was a really cool piece of trivia. Anyway, loved the food, loved the design of the actual restaurant. I was obsessed with the graphic hanging on the wall and the cute goldfish hanging from the ceiling. My only true complaint is that the EDM music was pumped up way too loud for this old lady and her old ears. But other than that, totally enjoyable. Will definitely return.

To pay $4 for a Diet Coke that someone has to get from the back…read morethat is warm, need to find your own ice and glass that has no carbonation or flavor and noted to have an expiration date from 18 Months ago. Of course the place where you have to do everything yourself also wants a 20 percent tip but that's not the hill I can die on for this review because everything else was terrible. Dude wasn't sure which order was mine when I came up to get it so who knows right? But it was garbage sushi. Truly. No freshness and really weird. It looked very odd but both the freshness and flavor was off. I've had sushi many places and this was inedible. And so expensive for no service! I paid $40 to not eat or drink anything and to be satisfied by a Burger King stop. I'd be so curious as to what this place think it did well. Service? Nope. Quality anything? Nope. At one point someone took my chopsticks away but left the garbage sushi. So she saw I wasn't eating it, took my utensils away but left the garbage sushi. Was I supposed to just motor boat it! Terrible. From Beginning to end. Horrible.

The fish was fresh, but the guac in it threw me off. The roll and pieces were very big, which I guess justify the price, but I preferred smaller rolls so I could try a variety of sushi.

Our two boys got the kids' meals - one got the Bento Box and one got the Kids' udon and both liked their meals. Our younger son even requested another side order udon to eat with the noodle broth he had left. I got the udon combo and my husband got the rice balls combo, we both like the items we ordered. The cauliflower karage was delicious - it was my favorite dish out of all the items we ordered. The restaurant has a nice casual atmosphere with a good amount of seating for those dining in.

Okome has a nice dining space-- the open kitchen and the for sale Asian snacks are a nice touch. The menu has a good variety of items to choose from without feeling overwhelming. My table tried the onigiri, udon, and the kid bento box. Overall, solid place. Pros: - The cauliflower karaage is a must try. - The service was great. The manager (?) that day was very nice. Cons: - The udon and miso broth seemed a little watered down to me

We did the edamame, the dumplings, the chicken skewer and the shrimp rolls. All were really delish. Our wait staff was great and everyone stopped by to check on us. All of the rolls we ordered were so fresh and every one was amazing. It is a nice interior with soft music and cozy booths/tables. They brought out a complimentary dessert for my son -which was a fried ice cream in a tempura batter....yum! They also will validate parking if you park in the "Victory ramp". Def recommend!

I tried the Crunchy Salmon Roll from the happy hour menu and it was just okay. A crunchy topping on a salmon roll. From the regular menu I ordered the 12-piece Chef's Choice Sashimi Teishoku, which came with miso soup. The sashimi was decent and fairly fresh. We also shared the Brother Bill Popp specialty roll, and it's good if you're a fan of cream cheese-heavy rolls, if not I would pass. Overall, this is a no-frills, basic sushi spot. Nothing fancy, but an option if you're looking for casual sushi meal without spending a lot.
