Soberfish is a great option! I've enjoyed their food, service, and ambiance. FOOD: I've had their vegetable stir fry with various proteins. It was good with fresh vegetables and well cooked/flavored options. AMBIANCE: definitely a casual spot-- not too fancy at all, but also good for most purposes (friends, family). SERVICE: friendly and perfectly adequate. I recommend the spot and will continue to go there! read more

If you're contemplating this place - just say "yes"! A place where you can assured to get great sushi, amazing Thai food, and great service. We came on Thursday early evening and were surprised that they were offering happy hour from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM. There were app, entree, sushi, and even alcohol happy hour specials. We took advantage of the gyoza and spring roll happy hour priced items which were still full servings of the regular-priced appetizers! Their spring rolls are so fresh and quite large. The gyoza was lightly fried and the pork-based filling was exactly what I had expected. I knew I wanted the Rama spinach curry with chicken (which is what I always get) but my bestie wasn't sure what she wanted. She asked our waitress, Danielle, for a recommendation and ended up getting the Magnificent Massaman curry with chicken. While both hit the spot, the Magnificent Massaman curry is called magnificent for a reason. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Rama curry, but the Massaman - it was amazing. We shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc with was appropriately priced and nicely chilled. You can't go wrong here. You can tell this unassuming spot is a neighborhood favorite. There was a steady flow of people coming in, some alone to sit and have dinner or dinner and a drink alone, others with their entire family (even with small children). There were a lot of people picking up takeout, too. Parking is off street, and the restrooms are sort of outside of the restaurant in a hallway (like they are at Longfellow Grill). You won't be disappointed if you give this place a try! read more

Soberfish has been a bit of hit or miss since I started going years ago. They used to have a decent happy hour but that changed a few years back and the offerings on the HH menu got smaller. I have not been back in a little while so not sure what it is now. The Pad Thai & the drinks are kind of what hooked me to Soberfish in the beginning. I've tried other dishes and appetizers and wasn't too moved by them. The staff aren't super friendly, there's very little interaction. It's all street parking but usually don't have issues finding a spot. read more

The curry was so good that I literally licked my plate. I got the sweet green curry. Absolutely amazing, will be returning as soon as I can.

First time in the area and was very impressed with the food, service, and everything in between! Here's what we had: - Green curry with Tofu (10/10, made for nice leftovers the next morning) - Pineapple Curry with Chicken (perfect amount of sweet and savory) - Spinach curry with Peanut Oil and Tofu (delicious) - Pad Thai with beef (highly recommend, also great for leftovers) - free tempura fried ice cream for my best friends birthday (yummy of course) - Thai tea (VERY sweet) Our waitress was kind and helpful. She went out of her way to double check peanut contaminants for my friend who is allergic. Got seated right away and enjoyed the overall ambiance of the restaurant. I will definitely be returning! read more

The sushi was actually really good and the service was good too but come on guys I asked for jalapeños in one of the rolls and you put Thai chilies in there. Thai chili chilies are 10 times hotter than jalapeño and no GD flavor. MY G.I. WAS FUCKED UP FOR THE ENTIRE NEXT DAY. read more

Sushi was great! Chef Elliot was excellent! Drinks great. Service prompt and helpful. Family friendly. Highly recommend.

I am a fan of Soberfish (which has a full bar for the record). Fresh ingredients, artfully prepared at a fair price. The service is consistently attentive. To top it off, the setting is charming. Never had a bad meal here. I should go more often and so should you! read more

We went out of our way to eat here since the breakfast place we originally wanted to eat had a long wait. Our server was super attentive and friendly. Service overall was great. My wife's cup of water had an imprint of the previous diner which was disturbing. Starting with the sushi, it was evident that attention to detail was lacking. The rice, a fundamental element of any sushi dish, was disappointingly hard, almost to the point of being unpalatable. To make matters worst, this error was repeated not once, but twice during our meal, suggesting a systemic issue in the kitchen's preparation process. Moving on to the fried rice, one would expect a comforting blend of flavors and textures. Instead, what awaited us was a dish plagued by the same hard and unyielding rice encountered in the sushi. Frying the already tough rice only served to exacerbate the issue, resulting in a dish that was difficult to chew and ultimately unsatisfying. The Pad Thai, often a highlight of Thai cuisine, fell flat in terms of flavor and execution. Instead of the harmonious balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors that define this dish, we were met with an overwhelming sweetness that drowned out any semblance of complexity. Furthermore, the choice of thick and chewy noodles only added to the dish's lackluster appeal. Overall, my dining experience at Soberfish was marred by subpar ingredients, lackluster execution, and a noticeable absence of flavor. It is my hope that the establishment takes heed of these shortcomings and endeavors to rectify them, lest they risk alienating discerning diners seeking a fusion restaurant. We left the table exactly how it was presented to us, paid and left. Waitress brought boxes for us but the dishes cannot be saved. read more

Had a Sunday dinner there since it is close to home, (been awhile since I was last there). It was a rather long wait to be seated and for the food to be served. There was only one waiter and one person tending the bar. Noticed a party of three waiting to be seated. They stood there waiting patiently for a long time. Slower on Sundays? Food was good and everyone in our party was satisfied. The ambience of Soberfish is a little tired and frayed at its edges but it is an establishment that has survived. read more

I just picked up, and threw out, their lunch special. I ordered Thai Holy basil, which the menu says is spicy, and is normally prepared with Thai chiles and holy basil. I was served a pile of barely cooked green peppers and onions with a few pieces of chicken and mushrooms tossed on top. The sauce was clear and tasted like cornstarch - I don't even know what they could have made it with? Thai holy basil is normally made with fish sauce, hoisin and soy. It was flavorless and it's clear that the veg and chicken were precooked and the sauce was poured on top. It definitely was not cooked from scratch in a wok. The person who took my order was nice, but I just can't with the food. It was clearly just assembled and not cooked. I definitely won't be back. read more

Soberfish has delicious sushi and Thai food! I ordered the salmon roll and California roll and my boyfriend ordered pad Thai. They have two lunch species, both are $14 Thai lunch special: one Thai entree and soup or salad or an appetizer. Sushi lunch special: 2 sushi rolls. Service was great - it was quick and our waiter was friendly. They only have street parking, so parking can be difficult to find sometimes. Overall rating: 10/10 read more

An unfortunate set of events finds us here :-/ After spending hundreds of dollars and giving this restaurant numerous opportunities to make it right, I decided never to return due to one thing that is severely lacking: CONSISTENCY! The food can be delicious one day and mediocre the next: additionally, I have been overcharged on multiple occasions while simultaneously receiving incorrectly prepared entrees. We order the same three entrees and while mistakes happen, there is no logical excuse to explain the quality differences that occur so often at Soberfish. I cannot ignore how vehemently they protest when errors are pointed out. Please prepare for battle if ever you require a refund or price adjustment due to their actions or lack thereof. FINAL Thoughts: This place has the potential to be awesome if they correct a few fundamental flaws and focus on consistency as well as service.

I always enjoy going to Soberfish! It has a good menu with something for everyone, and the happy hour pricing is great. Service can be a little hit or miss, especially depending on the time of day. Typically I'll come here for sushi because it's always fresh and tasty. Recently, though, I tried the drunk fish noodles and was pleasantly surprised! All of their noodle, curry, and rice dishes have the option to add tofu, mock duck, chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, or calamari. I like the options for customization! The portion size was generous for the cost. I'll definitely return to try other non-sushi items. They've got a rotating draft list that always includes some great local brews. The cocktails are reasonably priced as well. Parking can be a challenge, especially during the winter months. There's a small, shared lot behind the building that's usually full. Plan to park on the street and walk a block or two. read more

Been here multiple times and it never fail to satisfied my taste bud. Before graduating from college this is a place that is close to my college ( Augsburg). Every time I come back here, the food just always taste so good. First time trying the green mussels and it was pretty good. I don't know what they put on top, but it was delicious. As for the wing, it would be great if the wing was actually well mix with the sauce, but it taste good. The wing are pretty big too! The drunken noodle was good, however i feel like there wasnt enough noodles, it had a lot of veggies. The last but not least, the fiery beef salad. That was so delicious I couldn't finish it . I had it spicy and it was pretty spicy, however it can be handle. The portion of the food was just right and the services was amazing! Overall, a place I would always come back to! read more

The food was pretty good. Service was awful, we ordered beers and those came after the food that took an hour.

Soberfish is a Thai and sushi spot that serves mainstream dishes but didn't wow me in any way. The oshinko maki ($5) is vegan by default and not bad but not particularly memorable. The kanpyo ($5) is vegan by default and fine but unremarkable. The W8 Chinese broccoli ($13) is vegan by default but really bland. It's a stir-fry in a bland, clear sauce that was piled on way too much. The vegetables were drowned and flavorless as a result. The W1 Thai holy basil ($13) is vegan by default and also flavorless. There's too much sauce and the the dish didn't really feel stir-fried. It was like they steamed the vegetables and then just poured the sauce on top. The service is friendly. It's a decent space. But if you're looking for better Thai food, go to Amazing Thailand in Minneapolis or Phi Chay in St. Paul. If you want better sushi, go to Kyatchi in Minneapolis. read more

Thai restaurant. The sushi was decent, like any normal sushi at other places. The noodles was a lot better, the flavors are within every bite. It's classified as spicy but wasn't that spicy. The service was brief and the servers were really nice. A lot of window for light to come through, very open space. read more

Best Thai restaurant in the Twin Cities hands down. Great environment for dine-in and timely takeout service. All the food is good so you really can't go wrong but I typically get the green curry or rama spinach curry, and can't skip the Thai tea! So many vegetarian options and have never had bad service. If you live in Minneapolis and haven't been here, it's a must that you try it. read more

Wow, hidden gem! We stopped here on a whim because we were hungry and nothing else caught our eye. Unknowingly we arrived during happy hour. What a great happy hour menu! The chef's choice sushi plate was high quality and melted as soon as it hit my tongue. I really liked the spicy yellowtail, as it wasn't made of minced fish with spicy Mayo. It was chunks of fish with some sort of chili oil in it. The egg rolls were pretty meaty. All the dipping sauces were flavorful. They served Coke products, which is a plus in my book. The Seward Neighborhood is fortunate to have this place. read more

Soberfish is a cheap entry to sushi and Thai. None of the food is great. But it is also isn't terrible. And the pricing is hard to beat for acceptable food. However, inconsistency can be a problem. I recently ordered fried rice spicy and it came out basically as white rice with some chicken. It was horribly done. I'm glad they exist when I want a cheap sushi option but they are definitely lacking compared to good sushi and Thai you can get elsewhere in the cities. read more

The service was good. We went for the happy hour which was nice to see so many choices on the happy hour menu. We liked the spring rolls, and we ordered the broccoli tofu stir fry and the tofu sweet and sour. We thought the entrees were okay but we weren't crazy about them. My date had said he'd tried the pad Thai before and he didn't like it because of the flavor and so many green onions. The decor and ambiance was beautiful. Maybe I'd have to try more on the menu but personally I wouldn't really feel a desire to go back. read more

Soberfish has been a favorite spot of ours since we first went! My BF always (and I mean always) gets the pineapple chicken curry. It's delicious and savory with a hint of sweetness from the pineapple! I love their tempura dinner! You get a small salad and miso soup to start. The main dish is the tempura! Shrimp, zucchini, mushroom, asparagus, onion, and sweet potato with a delicious dipping sauce. Yum! For dessert, I highly recommend the mango sticky rice if it's available. Delicious! read more

Came for lunch, got the papaya salad and the Panang curry - both were amazing! Don't skip the spice on the Papaya Salad, it adds so much to the flavor! Also the portion sizes are big, especially for the reasonable price point. You will leave with a full belly. Missed the opportunity to take a picture of the food because we ate it so fast. Great service, huge menu, nice ambiance. read more

Service was insulting. Don't bring cash to this restaurant if it was printed in the 1970s. They refused to accept my hundred dollar bill, even though the manager used her "counterfeit detector" ink pen on it and the pen showed it as valid. She looked right at me and told me that her "gut feeling" would not let her accept it. I talked to a manager at U.S. Bank today and he told me that was bullsh*t, and that any restaurant manager should understand how to use the pen to verify U.S. currency as valid. This restaurant seemed more interested in viewing me as a suspicious person than keeping me as a valued customer (made me wonder at what her bias was based on in judging me as someone whose money wasn't worth taking. She didn't even ask my name, or offer anything else that felt like I was an appreciated customer they wanted to make happy. Not the way I would treat a valued customer at my place of business. My family used to dine there a lot, but will not be going back after seeing the lack of trust and appreciation of a person who used to be a long time customer. read more

We went on a Monday night, I've heard good things in the past so we were excited to try it. The restaurant was 2/3 empty. We started ordering drinks, they took about 20-30 mins to get to us, we ordered sushi at the same time and this took over and hour to get to us. We understood the industry is short staffed and tipped well regardless, I believe there was only once server in the restaurant and 2-3 sushi chefs. The sushi was good value and quality however, but do not come here if your hungry or in a hurry. read more

Back when I worked in Minneapolis, this was my favorite place for lunch. Super affordable lunch specials with an appetizer included! Plus a ways away from downtown so you can get free parking. Delicious food, nice people, and comfy space. It was my favorite place to have business lunches since it wasn't too loud, it was a good central location, and the prices were good even for those of us on a nonprofit salary! read more

First, I'd like to say we had a great waitress! I believe her name was Becky? She was newer to the restaurant and still helped us out with no problems. The second part of my review is not as pleasant. The food was subpar and basic at best. I ordered the Garlic Wok with chicken and it came out soupy with no flavor. Don't get me wrong it smelled amazing! Then I took a bite and it was hard to distinguish what I was even eating. My partner ordered sushi, she was expecting freshness but it ended up tasting like grocery store level sushi. My bill was $50 and for what we ate... we will not be returning to this restaurant anytime soon. The place is lovely and small but what's the point of the food isn't good. read more

This place says it us open until Midnight in Friday's but we walked in at 8:45 pm and it was shutting down. Talking my about false advertisement. Freaking place us not even that good.

Soberfish has a great happy hour menu of apps, rolls, and drinks. They also are good with gluten-free accommodations if someone in your party has a gluten allergy or sensitivity. Although I have only gone for the sushi (which I would recommend coming during Happy Hour for), there is a large menu of different food items that would satisfy non-sushi people. They do have their own small lot to park in, but there is also lots of neighborhood parking depending on the day/time. read more

We've been here a few times, and each time the service was slow, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. They have a good variety of food and drinks on the happy hour menu. The tuna tataki was delicious, the sushi was okay but fell apart easily, and the fried rice was really disappointing--super bland and not worth the price. Probably won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

I went during happy hour and felt that everything was fine. I ordered the dynamite roll, gyoza, and nigiri from the happy hour menu, and soberfish noodles. I wasn't particularly impressed by any of these items, particularly the dynamite roll (tasted very different from other dynamite rolls I've had). The nigiri was the best part. The service at Soberfish was great! Our waitress was very kind and made sure our water was always filled! Overall, I would recommend going during happy hour! read more

My Party of 8 met up recently @ Soberfish for Happy Hour @ 430pm. We ordered many apps, couple bottles of wine and tons of sushi. 1 hour and 10 minutes into sitting at the table, the server told us we had to leave and go sit at the bar because they needed the table for a reservation that was coming in @ 6pm. We had already ordered more sushi, which they put in a to go box and we cancelled the extra 2 bottles of wine. All 8 of us were very confused and had never been treated this poorly at this restaurant or anywhere really. We spent well over $200+ and to be treated like garbage made it a horrible experience. None of us will EVER be back and will be sure to spread the word on the HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SEVICE AT SOBERFISH. There are many other Sushi places to go check out in Minneapolis/St Paul. Please go check them out before going to this Sushi Dump. read more
