    Chicken Teriyaki
    Mike B.

    We've been going to Suishin for years. It's our go to local spot for sushi and Japanese food. We are grateful to have such a wonderful restaurant so close to home. You'll never have to wait for a table, but If you're in a rush, the service can be a little slow at times especially around the dinner hour. They only have one or two waiters, but if you can be patient, the food is excellent and, for us at least, the location right off Hwy 96 couldn't be better. During the summer we love to order some saki or a Chardonnay and enjoy the patio seating while we wait for our food. We usually start with a seaweed salad and shrimp tempura appetizer followed by the North Oaks roll, lightly fried and with a little heat from the peppers - delish. The chicken teriyaki is a generous portion served with rice and a choice of soup or salad. The bento boxes are just as you'd expect them to be. Delicious teriyaki style salmon, chicken or beef with soup and salad. If you want more of a rice dish, the Katsu bowls are a good choice and a ton of food. The sushi is as good as anywhere in the Twin Cities.The North Oaks roll is their signature dish, but all the rolls hit the mark. If you are in the North Oaks/Shoreview area, I highly recommend Suishin.

    Sushi and sashimi in excellent quality. Subtle, nice decor and ambiance. Quiet location. Helpful customer service. The waiter seems to be knowledgeable of what he serves.

    I'm calling this one 3.5 stars, slightly above average. This was my first time trying Suishin. The restaurant is a quaint little place. The interior is very stylish and inviting. Right away, I noticed that the customer service was excellent - polite, efficient, friendly, and on top of everything. I started things off with hot green tea, Yakitori (chicken skewers) and Clam Soup. The Yakitori was good. I was happy that they didn't overcook the hell out of the chicken. I removed most of the teriyaki style glaze since it tasted like it was loaded down with sugar. Great flavor though. The clam soup was disgusting and it tasted, literally, like old wet dish rags. I've never tried Japanese style clam soup before. So I don't know if this is how it's supposed to be...or if it was poor execution of the recipe. Whatever the case, it desperately needed some salt and some more flavor to cover up the sweaty sock vibe. After the apps I went with 2 styles of tuna based sushi rolls. BTW Suishin has WAY less sushi roll options than the other places I've been to the past several months. My tuna roll was good, standard stuff. I didn't care for the spicy tuna that much. It actually had visible chunks of tuna. But I have to admit, I like the spicy tuna recipes that use the chopped tuna salad type recipe with crunchies and yum yum sauce. I couldn't find any other tuna rolls on the menu without some other species of fish so I stuck with my 2 choices. I would have loved at least one more type of tuna roll. Maybe a "crazy tuna"? Perhaps a "mango tuna"? Or maybe a "Godzilla" roll with tuna? Personally, I probably wouldn't go back to Suishin. But that's only because of my carnivore eating style and the only fish I really love is tuna. For most people, I think Suishin is a good option if you want sushi or some sort of stir fry. I don't think it's a destination spot worth a drive, but it's a good choice if you happen to be in the North Oaks area. -Maxx

    Suishin roll, my favorite!
    Claudia V.

    A delightful spot for sushi in North Oaks. I got some rolls to go and was quite pleased. Everything tasted fresh and was presented beautifully. My favorites were the Suishin and spicy tuna. There are plenty of spots for seating and the service is prompt. Be prepared to wait a bit for the rolls, but they are worth the wait .

    Nigiri and California roll

    I love this place they always have amazing sushi and they even gave me extra salmon on my nigiri yum!

    Salmon bento box
    Genesis M.

    Wow this place has great prices on sushi but I think the surprise for me was just how tasty the salmon bento box was. Moving forward I will be coming here and ordering all their bento boxes. At first I didn't think that their would be enough sushi for me which is why I went with the sushi platter but I was wrong. You get started with a salad and miso soup and then the bento box comes out. On top of that you get a bowl of rice and sauce to dip you tempura in. The tempura was perfect. Crispy and not to think. You had shrimp, sweet potatoes, and broccoli in the batter and wow was it delicious specially when dipped in the sauce. The salmon was perfectly cooked and their was a sauce in the bottom that kind of tasted like teriyaki sauce. The sushi roll was a California roll and you had a sea weed salad that was tasty. Over all great place to come eat. They are low on workers as their was only one server for the whole place but besides that our server was amazing and had a great experience

    Best sushi in town Spicy tuna role is the best! Service was awesome and very fast. And the environment of the restaurant can't be beat! I would 100 percent recommend.

    It's hard to find good "sushi" in the Midwest. I had a Philadelphia roll, and a spicy salmon roll. Both of them were great! Definitely recommend this place, very clean, and the service is very attentive.

    Tofu in dashi
    Vee V.

    I had a massive sushi craving in the middle of the work week...well that and I had a craving to get the hell out of the office and away from people. I found this place on yelp of course. Walking in it was dark, clean, and nearly empty. Uh oh. This is not a good sign, where are all the peeps at? There was only one other table with two people on a lunch break as well. Luckily for me this also meant I was going to get served quickly. I was seated and after a glance at the menu I ordered the fried tofu in dashi and lunch sashimi platter. My tofu came first, perfectly crispy, and the dashi was a wonderful savory umami flavor, I wanted to drink it. My sashimi selection was thick, tender, buttery, and fresh. I enjoyed my meal, was in and out in less than 30 minutes, and the server was friendly. I call it a success.

    Very nice and delicious sushi spot in Elk River. Hands down best chicken fried rice in MN! Sauce is…read more10/10 too!

    Date night! Hajime in Elk River is a solid local spot if you're craving Japanese food. I ordered…read morethe filet mignon hibachi and my husband went with the spicy crab roll and the Anchor's Tattoo roll. Everything we had was flavorful and fresh - the hibachi was especially delicious, even if it wasn't the full show-style experience you might expect from a traditional hibachi place. The rolls were well-prepared, with good texture and balance. Service was friendly and quick, and our food came out without much wait, which is always a plus. That said, the interior could definitely use some updates. The decor and furniture feel worn and outdated, which stands out more when you consider the price point. It's not enough to ruin the experience, but a little refresh could go a long way. A few small things: the spinach salad served with the hibachi wasn't my favorite - the dressing was a bit off for my taste - and I missed the usual mushroom soup that typically comes with hibachi meals. Also, a heads-up to fellow diners: the fried rice came with chicken by default, which wasn't listed, and I would've preferred the plain white rice instead. All in all, Hajime delivers on food quality and service. With some minor adjustments and a facelift inside, it could easily be a standout. We'll be back!
