    We did Matsu omakase on a Saturday night. All sushi pieces were great flavors, some other dishes flavors were a little off under seasoned or a little bland. The service was not consistent. Servers were very nice but took more than 15 min to order drinks. Needed to ask a few times on smalls things like a straw. Service items were different between tables with the same server Overall we liked it and will go back again. It's more traditional style and fish was pretty fresh. Price of 195/ person is very reasonable for omakase.

    What a fun and beautiful tasting menu with Sake pairing! (you can see our collection of cups by midway through) I am not a sake lover, but even I enjoyed tasting each of the different beverages with every course. My favorite sake of the night tasted like a mimosa, and is pictured in the photos. The fish was superb, and the whole experience was very special- highly recommend!

    I'll write a more detailed review below, but for those of you looking for a short summary, Kado No Mise is an excellent kaiseki with amazing tasting (and quality) dishes, great service, and a very pleasant setting. However, I feel like the overall amount of food is a bit lacking for the price ($300+ total for two people), even considering how great everything was, and if you are like me and tend to eat a lot, you might go home hungry. We made reservations at Kado No Mise to celebrate a milestone. The online reservation process was easy (be aware, due to the price, you need to put down a deposit). Arrival and seating were pleasant enough, with the hostess taking our coats and introducing us to the concept. Service was great; super attentive with explanations of everything we were served. From the quality of the plates/glassware/chopsticks to the decor, the ambiance does not disappoint. The quality of the food was amazing. We were delighted by many new and unique flavors, especially in the earlier courses. We also were treated to some very unique fish as part of the nigri, many of which we had never trieed before. The star of the night was the tuna; if you are looking for the absolute most rich and delicious tuna you can find in (probably) all of Minnesota, this restaurant is for you. I've only had tuna this good a few times, all near the fish market in Tokyo. The one thing I'll have to take a star off for is the amount of food offered. I feel like, for the price of dinner at Kado No Mise, one should not feel like they need to eat another meal when leaving. I'm not sure how to rectify that since I'm not a restauranteur, but it's the one major hole here. All in all, a very nice experience, just know that you probably won't leave full.

    The bill.  Service charge seems ok, as they don't ask for tip.  Matsu is the highest tier menu, added one cocktail and sake pairing

    "And now for the worst part of the night: the bill." ~our sushi chef Kado is really a splurge, I will emphasize -- ooff: the bill, but also: it was worth it. My bill was $532 for two, including one sake pairing (do it) and the "service charge" (they don't ask for a tip, so this seems ok). Many of my favorite meals are just that burger, that sushi, that bowl of pho that really hit the spot. Dining out is already an expensive hobby so for folks on an an average budget, how are these ultra expensive meals justified? The bottom line: I took my GF for her birthday, and what we got was a deeply enjoyable dining experience, that also felt like a cultural exploration, and was most importantly delicious. Land-locked Minneapolis is actually pretty well-off in terms of sush. Wakame happy hour and Momo Sushi provide a very nice value, with quality sushi rolls and really some delicious yellow tail, salmon, and tuna sashimi. And if you're feeling bougie, Billy Sushi in the North Loop does offer something *a little* better, very swanky feeling, for like triple the price. Well Kado is more expensive still but what you get is a very authentic, human, cultural experience. And a tangible step beyond the ordinary great sushi: variety of fish outside the trinity (salmon, tuna, yellowtail), freshness you can taste, and the seasoning. Have you realized that when you order sushi, you are responsible for seasoning with wasabi and soy sauce? Here each bite is expertly seasoned with real fresh grated wasabi, house pressed soy sauce, sometimes a squeeze of lime or just a pinch of salt. And the upgrades: Chef's counter omakase: I vote that this is the base experience. There is not an extra charge for this, but spots are more limited and the cheaper "ume" ($70) meal is off the table. While there is a nice dining room, sitting across from the sushi chef and seeing them work as they engage you in conversation is very nice. (One of the chefs, usually in the middle, wears a face mask, is especially funny and engaging) Matsu ($160) vs take ($115): The initial courses will be unique creations followed by the remaining 3/4 of the menu: multiple single bite sushi (raw or cooked fish on rice). (See my photos for examples of both types of courses.) We were seated next to someone who had the cheaper of the two menses. While we shared otherwise the same very enjoyable courses, we got three bonus courses: uni (sea urchin, quite special), cooked eel, and A5 waygu (single bite over rice, blow torched). I will say this these three bonus courses were awesome, and yet the person sitting next to us got everything else we did - these three "Matsu" courses were the proverbial gravy on top, but the meat of the meal can be enjoyed with the fantastic "take"menu. Getting the masu does help with a common critic of Kade: you will leave "Japanese full" but not "American full." Even with the maximum level of courses, if you come hungry you will leave satisfied but not stuffed. Sake pairing: I am not a sake connoisseur, yet I just loved this. You can see in one of my photos three distinct glasses. Each sake came in a distinct, visually striking glass; with its own serving temperature, notes, and pairing rationale provided. I vote get one pairing for two people and share. $60 dollars, but does add an entire new dimension to the experience. Critiques: nothing major. Some may expect to leave full for the price; we got the biggest Matsu menu but felt like splitting an order wings at Runyons after. But we were technically full and certainly holistically satisfied. Desert is minimal, they serve a sort of sorbet (gelatin?) and we "guess the flavor," lovely but desert fans may want more. Service fee: Covid has conditioned us to hate these added fees, I will say when they ran my card there was no line for tip so seems this service fee is appropriately a mandatory tip; I think this is ok. Oh and FYI most of the food isn't hot (isn't even cooked, it's sushi!). But the included miso soup is fantastic! If you're not a big sushi fan, maybe you would rather go to Demi? Trivia: One of their chefs is an official "Goodwill Ambassador for the Promotion of Japanese Food." by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan. Final thought Our meal was about $266 per person, was it really worth it? Only you can determine that. To me this felt like a world class dining experience, a mini trip to Japan Bonus, the soundtrack: the restaurant music was a nice jazz playlist, like out of a Haruki Murakami novel. I Want to be Happy (Oscar Peterson Trio), Moonglow (Erroll Garner), Lands End (Harold Land) Additional important info: there are multiple experiences in this combined restaurant - a Japanese whisky bar, an Italian Japanese fusion restaurant, and on Mondays a hot food menu (udon, etc)

    I was in Minneapolis for work and my friend mentioned that justonecookbook@IG had recently gone to Minneapolis and had a great time at Kado no Mise. I have never had omakase before and I figured, why not? I made a reservation a few weeks in advance for a solo seat for take ($105/person, but you put down a small deposit to reserve). I felt very welcome upon arrival and was seated promptly. Our chef was very friendly and chit-chatted with me and the other group (I was in a section for four and a different group of 3 was sat next to me) throughout the dinner - which I personally appreciated. He was really nice! The food was absolutely phenomenal and I decided to do the sake pairing, so I was very pleasantly buzzed at the end of the night. The presentation is frankly gorgeous - I'm a bit obsessed with drinkware (any pottery or glassware tbh) and each sake (7 diff ones) came in different cups. I did ask and it turns out the head chef goes to Japan and selects every thing there and brings them back (so it'd be hard to source some for myself sadly). Everything was well thought out, from presentation to the quality and taste of the food. I got little explanations on each of the sakes I tried and info about each fish. I definitely ordered extra pieces and they gave me a wagyu piece on the house . I would 100% recommend Kado no Mise as a treat meal!!

    We loved our experience at Kado no mise! I've been wanting to try this place for several years now but COVID got in the way. We finally made it in for a special celebration and went with the omekase option. Our chef was attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. It was a joy to watch him work to prepare each piece and he made sure each was properly introduced. The fish was fresh and delicious and we even tried a few pieces we've never had before like barracuda! The overall ambiance was enjoyable, our drinks were delicious and our glasses were always full. Dessert was fairly standard, nothing particularly special, but the fish that we went for was definitely worth the wait.

    I stopped by Kado No Mose and tried out its Omakase. The interior is a good fusion between Japanese style and modern style. The staffs were well trained and professional. I actually really enjoyed all the courses, and absolutely loved the tuna nigiri. However, the reason for the lower-star was because I wasn't happy with the portion control. I selected the 10-piece omakase course which was the 2nd most expensive selection. I was not completely full by the end of the meal. To me, regardless of the cuisine, the price, the taste of each dish, the main reason I visit a restaurant ultimately is to fill my belly. Leaving the diners hungry with a predesigned course is just unacceptable. Hopefully, if I ever visit again, I will have a better experience.

    Refined and heavenly omakase in the north loop warehouse district. Had to read the dining experiences and menu booking option several times to understand which days and which dining experiences were offered. Finally preselected the omakase Matsu experience which was a hefty price tag plus tax and service charge. Service was impeccable with friendly but still deference to the patrons. Chic minimalist modern decor throughout the two level dining space. Countless courses but some were small single bites. Our favorites were of course the flights of nigiri with fatty tuna, scallops, yellowtail, uni, and torched Wagyu. The finishing dessert course was a refreshing basil sorbet. Went on the 5:30pm dining option on Saturday and found plenty of street metered parking. Although there was valet available for a fee. Main door located on the side of the building. Used to be the original Origami Sushi restaurant back in the 90s.

    The best omakase restaurant in Minnesota, you can't get a more authentic experience than this. This was my second time here for omakase, and I will say, I think I enjoyed the summer menu in August more than the winter in March. March had more unique dishes like baby eel and octopus but I enjoyed the nigiri selection more in August. Each time we opted for the Take sized course, it came with three smaller starters (sakisuke and chawanmushi), ten pieces of nigiri and a miso soup and dessert to end. The Ume for us would not be enough food for us and matsu would be too much food, so Take is the perfect option for those that don't want to be over stuffed. Each time we have gone, the otoro and chu toro were the most memorable and delicious. The skip jack nigiri was surprisingly sooo yummy on the august menu (2021) as well. Service is always superb, the staff is very friendly and we did the chefs counter so we had some fun conversations with the chef as well. However, the second time we went the person that served the drinks was a little pushy with the sake my FIL ordered. He asked for a cup of sake and ended up recommending him the bottle. We were a little disappointed in the basil gelato the second time around, seemed very icey and not as good anymore but it was refreshing at least. Overall, I will always be curious to go back again if they change the menus every year because this is one of our favorite restaurants in MN. Great place for celebrating special occasions. Food: 4.8/5 Service: 4.9/5 Ambiance: 5/5

    A quaint restaurant that serves Omakase style, which means they choose the menu that you'll be eating. The service was absolutely amazing and extremely responsive. This is an experience meal for those who love nigiri that generally is not available at most sushi restaurants.

    The food was amazing! We lucked out with it being Puffer Fish season...definitely recommend trying the platter because it was so flavorful with their Ponzu! The chef's tasting menu is definitely the way to go and the more courses the better!! I was in Japan and introduced to horse mackerel and this restaurant took it to a whole other level!! Service was excellent as you would expect! Quiet and semi-private tables in the restaurant and a nice dark whiskey bar. Japanese whiskey selection was excellent and the staff recommendations based on comparable other whiskey were On Point! Would definitely recommend!

    Chef Furukawa prepare the dish in front of guests. I was basically drooling when I saw these sashimi.

    My husband surprised me with a belated birthday dinner. Belated because the reservation was booked far out, and when he wanted to book on my birthday, the next available date was not until a month later. My husband did the kaiseki furukawa experience for $160/person. It is a ten-course tasting menu. Their website offers cheaper options, starting at $60/person, but you will not be getting ten courses. You get what you pay for. When you arrive, the wait staff will offer an $80/person package where they will pair drinks with each course. Dress code: they do not have any specific requirements. My husband and I showed up in jeans and a very nice shirt. I saw a guest doing the same experience wearing a t-shirt and shorts while their daughter was wearing a crop top with sweatpants. Please note: there is a $100 service charge, but for the whole experience, that is fine. Their online reservation system may charge you this when you book your date, otherwise, you may be charged on the day of the dining experience. The staff was surprised to learn that the online reservation system added a service charge upon booking, but we had it sorted out. But this did not damper our experience. Just an FYI for future goers. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a $10 valet. They accepted cash or card. There was a parking ramp, but I don't think it is open to the public. (There was the Federal Reserve Bank next to the restaurant.) When you enter the restaurant, a host/hostess will lead you to where you need to go, which for this experience was upstairs. The experience was intimate. It was two other families and us as we all sat at the bar and watch the chef with two sou-chefs prepare our meal. Overall, the environment was relaxing. Every staff member was professional, friendly, and approachable. I would say it is worth the price. I love sashimi, but you can tell this was fresh. The blue tuna sashimi was tender. The wasabi was also fresh because it wasn't crazy spicy. I would like to come back here again.

    What is the expected attire? Can you show up in preppier shorts and a polo/shirt on a hot day? Or is there a more formal dress code?

    No dress code that I'm aware of

    Can you do the omakase & still order extra items? I'm nervous we won't be full after the omakase.

    Yes. At the end of your nigiri 🍣 section, you can add on as many of your favorite nigiris. I always do the largest course omakase and am satisfied after the 10 nigiri course but always like to add 2-3 of my favorites!

    Is there uni available on the menu or is it only available through omakase?

    There is a dish that has uni on regular menu. Comes in a little bowl with sushi rice and uni on top

The day we went they had brunch, it wasn't too busy. You could definitely tell it was the community spot, everyone knew each other and it was genuinely good vibes. At the time we went (was a bit ago), it took a while for the waitress to get to us, as they were also the bartender. We did order drinks as well as split the chicken biscuit sandwich which came with fruit. Overall the sandwich was good. I'd definitely like to check out more of the menu. Drinks were good a well. The restaurant overall is nice, casual/classy vibes. They do have a parking lot & street parking.

    It was very quiet in the whole space, and service was still questionable. There was another patron…read moreat the bar that would ask if we needed anything and they relay it to our server. We ordered a meal that came with potatoes steak bites and green beans (photo not included) Once it came we had to call them back and inquire as there were no green beans on the plate. It was brought out. 5 green beans. 5. That was just wild to us. I got the fish and spaghetti. That was a new experience. I haven't had fried salmon before. I did think it was fried well and the spaghetti had flavor. I did miss some type of veggie on the meal though.
