    This place still has bad service. It took 10+ minutes to get a glass of water after I had been seated. Water was never refilled. Had a few plates, everything was fine, nothing spectacular. An easy sushi fix if you are in the area but overall I'd never feel ok recommending this place due to the bad service.

    This was my first sushi conveyor belt experience and it was a lot of fun! If you are going to eat a lot of sushi, this may not be the most economical, because those purple plates drive the price up pretty quick, but it is a great way to try a bunch of different sushi items, and also works well for sharing. In addition to the sushi train, there is also full menu of ramen, apps and poke bowls. We ordered some spring rolls and gyoza from the menu, and then went all in on the sushi train! Items are priced by plate, with the purple plates at $7.00 being the most expensive. The sushi was fairly good overall. The only item I had that I did not care for was the octopus role. Not the best sushi I have had in the TC, but not the worst either, and it is a fun experience. Our server was kind and attentive. We went at lunch on a weekday and there was absolutely no reservation needed.

    Stopped by Sushi Train for dinner before seeing a show at Orchestra Hall - the location is great! Easy walking distance (about 1 block). Very fun experience watching the sushi go by on the conveyer belt. I liked that the menus on the table go into detail about what's in each roll. Each roll is labeled and also clearly states if it's cooked or raw. You pay by plate and each color means a different price point. Our server was so accommodating and since our ordered appetizer (not on the conveyer belt) came late, he took care of one round of drinks for us. So nice!

    Want to try revolving sushi? Want to dine without waiting ? Want surprised? Want attentive service ? Come try! Food 3/5 Some items 2/5 (crispy rice; rice was hard and not crispy; ) mackerel (dry and been out long) Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 For a quick lunch ? This is fine I do worry just a little about food safety and the temperature of the items... some might have been out long at room temp....

    Their Chocolate Temptation is amazing.

    The sushi and udon was some of the best I have ever tasted. My waiter was funny, charming, thoughtful, and knew the right recommendations for my meal (I was the one from Ohio here for the conference). Finally, the place made me feel really relaxed during lunch. Was close enough to Hyatt and Hilton that it made for an easy walk to get to. Had to get the Chocolate Temptation to finish the meal.

    The sushi train

    We have never been to sushi train before, it was a lot of fun picking out food off of the conveyor. The sushi was excellent and reasonably priced. The variety of sushi was great. I had thing I've never had before. The server was excellent and explained the process well. The decor was modern and clean.

    This was first conveyor belt sushi place I've been to. The staff was amazing especially Keri my former coworker from ages ago. The sushi was good. Spicy tuna took awhile to get to us. My THC drink was fantastic. It was a flower night so not many people are around.

    Sat at the counter and had easy access to sushi train.

    Pros: close to the Minneapolis convention center so I was able to pop in for a quick lunch. The food was good and they seemed to refresh the food. Con: the server was rude, but everyone else I encountered was lovely so overall a great visit

    We were looking forward to a sushi train spot, after being without one locally since we moved South. We arrived early evening and were one of only two couples in the restaurant. Our server was wonderful and the concept fun but the food was simply not good. At previous sushi train restaurants we have been to, we have seen them frequently switch out sushi on the belt for fresh versions. We were there over an hour and never once saw them replace any of the plates, which was a bit off-putting. The sushi with fried items were cold and soft, sweet potatoes undercooked, and the ramen lacking any substance or flavor. The veggie tempura was good, however. Even if we lived nearby, we still wouldn't be back to this spot, even with the convenience and cool concept. The cost snuck up quickly but we appreciated that the cost was clear based on the color of plate. Some unique items and desserts on the belt as well.

    Dried out wasabi and ginger.

    We've been coming to Sushi Train for maybe five or six years. In the last year the service has become terrible. One time in the winter we had a server demand we fire our real estate agent and hire him instead. Today we've been rudely told to stand in another area - the rest of the waiting area had only been vacated for 10 seconds. Today our waiter loudly demanded that we order something other than water.My dude, so sorry but *demanding* I do something optional is a great way to make sure I don't do it. After that he couldn't be bothered to take our order, refill water, or take the order for the drink. Water was warm. The food quality is okay. The food here has never been bad - but the quality has been higher in the past. There is one exception - the wasabi is terrible. It was so dried out I have to cut it in half to get something moist.

    Sushi train is a fun conveyor about sushi restaurant on Nicolette Mall. It was very busy the evening I went. We were able to be seated at a table after waiting a few minutes. Different colored plates of sushi were rotating through the conveyor belt constantly. The price per plate is listed on the wall. The sushi was fresh and delicious. I wish the rice had been seasoned with a little bit more mirin, but overall sushi quality was good. It was busy and lively and has a fun atmosphere. Seating is at tables for two or booths that can seat four, so it might be hard to have larger groups and sit together. The sushi chefs were constantly making sushi for the customers to eat. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you like a conveyor belt sushi restaurant with an energetic vibe.

    I decided to stop here very last minute as I looked up for sushi spots near the hotel I was staying at. I have gone to other revolving sushi spots but the plates will all be the same price while here that is not the case. The prices range from about $2.20 to as high as $6.95 the workers were super sweet and very helpful. I did like the layout of the place. It's super simple to use. Simply pick up what you want from the conveyor belt and keep the plate at your table. I'm giving it a four out of five stars because the sushi wasn't as good as I was hoping for. I could be a bit biased as I live in another state Where we can get really fresh sushi very easily. It also could be that Minnesota makes their sushi a bit different than from where I'm from. However I still would recommend the spot to check out even if you just need a small quick bite. You can spend a little to nothing to get yourself a little bit of fuel.

    So outstanding

The fried rice and udon have a really nice smoky flavor. The beef and salmon teriyaki cuts are pretty thin but the teriyaki sauce adds a lot of flavor. For dessert they have green tea, red bean, and vanilla ice cream. The ice cream is creamy and the scoops are generous. They do not take reservations. There is plenty of booth seating and a couple of tables and high tops.

Food 5/5: we did AYCE. We got: Edemame, egg rolls, gyoza, corn cheese, Zuchinni, mushrooms, Miso soup, garlic shrimp, pork belly, ribeye, boneless short rib, skirt steak, and brisket. The marinated meats were my favorite along with the shrimp! I loved the pairing of the dry rub with both sauces, and the sauces definitely enhanced the flavor of the meats. Service 5/5: our server was very attentive and helpful. He asked if we wanted a demonstration which was helpful even though we knew what we were doing. They are quick to change your grill place when it gets covered, and I love the option of the avocado oil. Many other bbq places don't offer that. Ambiance 5/5: this place feels very fancy! Overall very spacious. The booth we were in was very comfortable. Overall a great option for AYCE BBQ! We loved our experience and will definitely be back.

Recently, I started coming for the food dinner and realized I was missing a lot. Their menu is very thoughtful in each dish has a nice variety of textures and flavors. I will say that their Ramen is one of the best in town. I think really what sets it apart is the broth being super in depth and they grill the pork belly which makes it really smoky and tender. This time I branched out and got the grilled squid as well and it was exceptional. The soy ginger glaze on it was incredible. The only few downsides I think I've noticed is service can be a little bit hit or miss which is surprising how small the places. Even when sitting at the bar, it took a little bit to get their attention. Also, I've tried a few of the cocktails and for the main part they just taste like alcohol with a soda. They sound extremely creative on the menu, but the balance isn't there. Either way I've typically gotten sake as they have a nice little selection. Overall, I love the whole vibe of this place. I always enjoy being able to see people make sushi. It's very open yet. Doesn't get overwhelmingly loud. Definitely my top three Japanese spots in Minneapolis.

    I am SO torn on this review. Here's the breakdown:…read more Menu: Their menu options are so awesome. Authentic Japanese food, tons of options, and lots of fun stuff. Drinks: The Last Samurai cocktail & the Imposter Among Us mocktail were both delightful. Love the unique drink options, and the two we had were executed beautifully. Sushi: Unfortunately, the sushi was a bit disappointing. We had the hotate yuzu, Suzuki oshizushi, tamago nigiri, and the futomaki. The rice was unfortunately undercooked, and also too lightly seasoned. The tamago was alright, the futomaki was very good though. Dessert: The yuzu custard - one of my favorite desserts I've eaten in a long time. Definitely the best thing we had and I would absolutely get it again. Service: Our service was pretty good. I did watch one of the other servers grab soup spoons by the part you eat from and then bring them to a table which was concerning. Note: For anyone with dietary specifications: they offered gluten free soy sauce, and the custard was a vegan dessert and it was delightful.
