What a fantastic place! Met up with my son and his bestie for a bday dinner and was not…read moredisappointed! HH is 4-6 and luckily I got there just in time for some great inexpensive apps. We did the edamame, the dumplings, the chicken skewer and the shrimp rolls. All were really delish. Our wait staff was great and everyone stopped by to check on us. All of the rolls we ordered were so fresh and every one was amazing. It is a nice interior with soft music and cozy booths/tables. They brought out a complimentary dessert for my son -which was a fried ice cream in a tempura batter....yum! They also will validate parking if you park in the "Victory ramp". Def recommend!

Happened to stop by this sushi restaurant leaving the European Christmas Market at the Union depot…read more I was craving some sushi and found Sakura was within walking distance from where I was. From the outside the Sakura doesn't look that big but once inside you see it is spacious! I was taken a back on the amount of space they had being a sushi restaurant. I happened to go in between the lunch and dinner rush so I was the only patron in there at the time. The waitress was a nice lady and had some good giggles with her as we chatted a bit. She showed me the upstairs balcony sitting area and I loved how much room there was upstairs. I told her I might have to rent it out for my birthday. The sushi I had was good with fresh quality and expert sushi makers. The menu was fairly extensive. Would recommend in downtown St Paul.

I had two rolls -- the caterpillar roll and the salmon avocado maki. They were presented…read morebeautifully. Luckily, they were also very tasty! The caterpillar roll is an eel and avocado roll, and it had a generous portion of rice. The maki was also quite hearty with more salmon than I expected. Each piece of sushi was quite big - I think it would've been easier to eat if it was sliced into smaller pieces. My colleague opted for a tempura bowl and the portion was HUGE. I was expecting 5-6 pieces of tempura but it was a whole plate! I tried a mocktail but the flavors didn't stick out to me much. If I were to go again, I'd probably opt for hot green tea. Service was great -- folks checked in on us enough without lingering or interrupting often.

Sat at the bar and had exceptional service and as usual, food is always excellent. The interior and exterior is beautiful with a lovely shared (Emmett's Public House) patio.

My favorite ramen spot! First off this place is in an old train car which is super cool. It's…read moresmall but nice with a unique environment. Service is always super helpful and informative. We have tried their ramen, apps and drinks and enjoyed them all. Seating areas are small but you don't feel like you are sitting right on top of others so it has never bothered me.

I really enjoyed my Com Sa Mi Da Ramen; it was a mix of spicy and sweet. The broth was flavorful…read moreand vegetables were fresh. I wished they added more bean sprouts, but overall the vegetables complemented the broth well. Chicken was also tender and poached egg was good. Shoyu broth was okay. The more we drank the soup, the more we got tired of it. Overall, they had interesting selection of ramen. But, there was no appetizer except for maybe cucumber salad and ssam (stuffed lettuce). They seemed to have a variety of alcoholic drinks. Service was REALLY slow. There were only two servers working on a Friday evening and they didn't check in on us until it was time for a bill. Where we sat was a little dark and hallways were narrow.

I also ordered the hibachi chicken and steak meal--I'm not a big fan of foods covered in a lot of sauce but I at least enjoyed the texture of the meat. I liked the fried rice and onion soup as well. My husband had the chicken katsu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall would stop by again.

Nice cozy restaurant on university. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Apps were amazing,…read moretakoyakis were crispy and moist. Short ribs, jalapeno poppers, all the apps were great. Happy hour pricing was very fair. Great place to hang for drinks. Would like to see ramen be richer in flavor. Felt like too much water was added to the broth. Noodles and meats were good. Willing to try again.

Parking was good! We got there around 7:15, and it wasn't packed! But, it got really crowded around…read more7:30. Service was fast and vibes are cool! Prices are really good, but the lower cost may have reflected the quality of the food. The vegetarian ramen didn't come with eggs or tofu, so you'd just be eating carbs. The broth is also below mid and would not get it again. My boyfriend got the crispy chicken ramen and he really liked the chicken. But, he thought it was very bland overall. Lots of happy hour items at a favorable price. Overall, it's a decent choice if you are on a budget!

I think there are better AYCE sushi places--food quality wise--however this place definitely wins on service. From the hostess to waitress, the staff were very nice. If I am back in West St. Paul, and I am craving AYCE sushi, I will go back. Pros: - Very friendly staff - Clean restaurant Cons: - Some items took a while to deliver - Some of the fish quality was so-so

Out server was a bit skeptical with how much we ordered, but we devoured our entire first order and they saw what we could do! By the end of it, we were on ice cream and they let us know there was lychee ice cream! It was very sweet, but delicious. Secret menu item!
