    We were headed to MOA, and wanted some casually sushi beforehand and found Kataki after a short search! Plenty of parking available in their attached lot. The space itself is clean, albeit a bit plain! It's not a huge space but we didn't have a wait at about 5:30pm on a Saturday! The servers were incredibly friendly and responsive during our entire stay. The food itself was good, yet nothing to write home about! We had our standard sushi order: wontons, gyoza, spicy tuna roll, California roll, and Philly roll! The wonton and Philly were my favorite, with good cream cheese to wonton ratio, and the lovely cream cheese bite in the roll! They did charge $1 for the side of eel sauce, which felt unnecessary for the serving size. Overall, not a bad spot if you're in the area and want some good sushi, but I wouldn't make a journey to check them out!

    7. Sushi and Sashimi for 2
    Mikey A.

    Kataki My go to place for sushi, I'm so happy it is in my neighborhood! My husband and I normally get the sushi and sashimi combo for 2 as it is a great deal, and the quality of fish is consistently delicious and fresh. The sushi rolls are tasty as well! Sometimes I'll order a few sushi rolls instead and I've never been disappointed. I think their ramen is ok, but the sushi is definitely the star of the show! I appreciate the quickness of the servers and they're always kind. I also appreciate the parking lot - even during busy times I've never had an issue finding parking. Even if I lived a bit farther out I still think Kataki is worth it!

    1. Tonkotsu Pork Bone Broth
    Steve S.

    Friendly and attentive service. Broad menu. Accessible pricing. Sushi quality was really good. Broth and pork belly were flavorful and yummy. Deducted a star because the noodles used for the ramen were a little off. Still, I highly recommend checking Kataki out. Ample lot parking.

    We tried 4 rolls between us. The Kataki Roll was very good. The Crazy Spider Roll would have been better without the cucumber. Just touching a piece caused the cucumber to fall out and then each bite fell apart. The Viking and Sakura Rolls were our least favorite. Not much flavor. It was busy and 2 sushi chefs were working very hard.

    Met up with a friend in Richfield, an area I used to be very familiar with. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many "new" restaurants in the area. Decided to stop at this divey sushi spot to compare to another hole-in-the-wall sushi place I frequent in North Minneapolis. It's a small space, so service was quick! I ordered two chef specialty rolls, the Spicy Girl Roll and the Sexy Girl Roll. Of course I washed it all down with their house sake, warmed. The sake was easy and comforting on a fall day. The spicy girl was tuna based and textually a bit mushy, but cut precisely. The sexy girl was a crispy shrimp tempura also cut perfectly with plenty of ginger and wasabi to pair! I might have to come back to try their ramen as I saw togarashi seasoning readily available on the table, my FAVORITE spice blend! Easy parking lot spaces! If I lived in the area it would be my spot to go for sure! Would happily go back to try more!

    Stoped here after climbing and now we are hooked! Great hidden gem of a sushi and ramen spot!

    Sakura roll (front) and spicy girl roll (back). Both delicious!
    Kate M.

    Kataki was excellent. Got the Spicy Girl roll & Sakura roll. Both were delicious, the Sakura roll was my favorite. Happy hour on Sunday?! Love that for me. The rolls were well-priced and super fresh and beautiful. Shockingly great for a Minneapolis suburb. Less expensive and more tasty than other western suburb contenders- Crave, Kona Grill, Kyoto. 10000% will be back.

    Yellowtail (Hamachi) Sushi
    Jay S.

    It was a pleasant surprise visiting this place because I definitely did not know about it at all prior to trying the food, but it was a wonderful balance of price, quantity, and flavor, to the point that it made my dining experience worth it! Kataki is nowhere close to an upscale or fine dining place but I felt like I paid for what the food was worth, and possibly even more! The highlights are definitely the sushi! My partner and I only got the yellowtail and the salmon roe sushi but they both tasted very flavorful, and the koshihikari rice was tasty as well. I could tell that the sushi was a specialty in this establishment. The price was very reasonable as well, with $7 for the yellowtail sushi and $11.5 for the salmon roe sushi. The Kataki rolls were great as well, even if I knew that the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy yellowtail combination wasn't uncommon. Someone it tasted fuller and more flavorful than similar items I have had elsewhere. The tonkotsu ramen was solid as well, and I was given a good amount of pork with good texture that tasted slightly different from what I was used to. The broth was only okay, but I know it's hard to achieve perfection for such in a restaurant so I was okay with it. For $14.50, it was worth it! The appetizers such as shumai, softshell crab tempura, age tofu, and takoyaki were also solid, and once again, for $7.5 each ($8.95 for the softshell crab) it was worth it, but they were not as good as the sushi in terms of economical value. The octopus meat in the takoyaki was hard. The age tofu relied on the sauce for flavor completely. And the shumai was a bit soggy. Regardless, they were all solid enough! Once again, I did not expect myself to give a 5 rating to a Japanese food place that wasn't the most well-known for its authenticity or fanciness, but the food was tasty and it made me "feel good" here! There are many establishments like this one, but somehow the food here has had more flavor in comparison.

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Kong L.

    I was in the area at the time and was craving ramen. So I found Kataki Sushi and Ramen. I've never heard of this spot, and am always excited when I discover a new ramen spot. Wanting to have a good feel of Kataki, I had both sushi (Nigiri Combo, I forgot the name exactly), and ramen (Tonkotsu Ramen). Every ramen spot I try, I also must try their Chicken Karaage. Ramen Spots usually have the best Chicken Karaage. The Chicken Karaage here was... mid. It didn't have the nice crunchy exterior. It wasn't bad though, but not amazing either. I give the Chicken Karaage a 2.5/5. The Tonkotsu Ramen was... not really Tonkotsu. Tonkotsu is an emulsified pork bone broth. It's supposed to be thick and fatty. The broth here was more of a chintan style, meaning a clear and lighter broth. When tasting though, the ramen actually wasn't bad. It was nice and decent. The broth was flavored really well. The chashu was thinly sliced and delicate, and was savory and subtly sweet. I give the Tonkotsu Ramen a 3/5. With this experience so far, why did I rate Kataki 5/5? Because of the sushi! Again, I had the nigiri combo, and it was AMAZING! Great fish quality. What I love about Kataki is that they add a bit of flare to some of their nigiri. Meaning for some nigiri pieces they may add an interesting sauce, paste, and/or fish eggs (caviar/roe). See my pictures. My favorite nigiri was the fatty belly salmon topped with roe. This was probably the most luxurious salmon I've ever had. It was a big cut, fatty, and melt-in-your-mouth like. It also came with a California Roll, which was ok. Not only was the sushi good, it was also affordable. This nigiri combo only costed around $25. The sushi here is 5/5. I came in for ramen, and came out with the conclusion that this may be one of my favorite sushi spots now. Great sushi, affordable, and good service. If you're a sushi lover, you must give this spot a try.

    We have gotten Kataki 3 times now and WOW I'm so impressed with their sushi! I hadn't heard of it until my brother visited from out of town and suggested it and now it's one of our favorite places. The quality is amazing and the sushi is fresh and unique. I've never sat in the restaurant so I can't speak to the ambiance - we have only ever gotten take out. However we have ordered by calling and have never had any problems with the order or service when we pick up. We have tried multiple rolls including the Spicy Girl Roll, Sexy Girl roll, and Kataki roll. Everything has been delicious and I can't choose a favorite! Also don't sleep on the stir fry ramen, it's delicious. Get the chicken! I've tried the steak one as well and they're both amazing.

    Saw this cute Izakaya on the street, decided to try!! Street parking only, busy spot in downtown…read moreMinneapolis. They're only open for lunch on Saturdays and no other day of the week! The menu is limited. We got the Mapo tofu mazemen, which is this brothless ramen with a Mapo tofu blend, mushrooms, eggplant, tofu, and doubanjian blended together. I wish we could see some of the distinct ingredients alone besides the tofu as it was a bit too blended for me. I liked how unique this ramen was!! The chicken karaage basket had the most addicting trio of sauces - yuzu mayo, nori ranch; and honey mustard. The yuzu mayo was so light and citrusy, and I could practically drink the nori ranch. The fries were shoestring and perfectly crispy. The issue lies in the chicken karaage - it almost felt burnt, and it was quite dry inside. The chicken age gyoza were yummy. I did love the crispness and the tangy kamikaze dipping sauce! Service is efficient!

    I was sad to hear that they were closing permanently on November 22, so I wanted to make an effort…read moreto go again before that date. My group made sure to have a reservation anticipating that there would be lots of people and thank goodness we did. Those that went as walk ins had a wait time of 90+ minutes. When we arrived, we were promptly seated and ordered food right away as we knew what we wanted. We got an order of NHK (spicy chicken karage) and it was the perfect appetizer to gear us up for our entree. The Tonkotsu Ramen was so rich and fulfilling, the broth had an incredible umami flavor to it and the noodles had the perfect texture to it. The staff were all so friendly and attentive to what our needs were. I want to congratulate the staff at Zen Box Izakaya for an incredible 20 year run, we'll miss them greatly
