![]() ![]() Fortunately, the size was more on par with what I'm used to, but the flavor left a lot to be desired. I was disappointed that they opted to use cucumber, rather than avocado, as cucumber has no place in sushi, ever. ![]() The California maki was slightly more, but I was happy to see they used a snow crab mixture rather than krab stick (my biggest pet peeve with sushi restaurants). The salmon avocado was very dainty looking, but it had a nice proportion of salmon to avocado. I was still hungry so I decided to finish off the meal with two happy hour rolls - salmon avocado ($5.50), and a California maki ($7.95). The flavor was off putting, but fortunately didn't ruin the overall meal. I enjoyed each piece except the albacore which tasted wet like it had been defrosted. I ordered salmon belly ($3.85), yellowtail belly ($3.25), tuna belly (8.25$, albacore (2.60), yellowfin tuna ($3.00), and salmon eggs ($3.00) topped with a quail egg ($1.00). They sell nigiri by the piece which is great for sampling. It was like every other miso soup I've ever had, which was a good thing. I started with a cup of miso soup which sells for $2.50 during happy hour. They made the cut and I decided to expand my ordering. The fish tasted fresh and beautifully presented. I was impressed by the look of the fresh fish in the case, so I decided to start with the happy hour sashimi sampler which came with 4 generous pieces of fish for $7.75 (which is a steal). As I do at any new sushi restaurant, I ordered a few pieces to test out the fish quality and preparation style. Not a good sign, but I decided to stick it out, if nothing else, to remove it from my list of restaurants to visit while in Minneapolis. I joked that I had read this was the best sushi in town, and he appeared caught off guard. ![]() I sat alone at the sushi bar and met Ross who was behind the counter. I took this as a good sign given it was only 5:30pm. I arrived early for happy hour and the restaurant had a decent number of diners. Fortunately, I got lucky with a good meal. Origami sushi Minneapolis I do not typically eat sushi on Sunday or Monday, but had a craving and decided to take a chance. ![]() |
