The chicken panang curry was interesting. It wasn't as creamy and had lots of additional vegetables that I don't usually see in panang curry. The curry was also a bit more liquidy and had a soup consistency rather than a curry. I prefer a creamier, thicker, coconut milk flavored panang curry but this one is more chili forward. There was also not enough curry. It really resembled vegetables with sauce rather than a curry with vegetables in it if that makes sense. The service was also a little hectic as they were busy. I got served the wrong curry and found it was actually switched with the people next to us so the waiter just switched the plates. Thankfully neither of us had touched the food but their food got brought out before ours so it was still on their table for a little bit.

I came back for their tonkatsu ramen to go, and wow. The broth was rich and intensely flavorful, with an oniony note that made it stand out from every other tonkatsu ramen I've tried. Hands down the best ramen I've had in Minnesota! I wish I'd taken pictures, but I was too busy enjoying the food. Staff Meeting is officially my new go-to for ramen. Nothing else compares!

It's a really cool place that has plenty of varied seating locations. Staff Meeting itself is a fairly compact space peppered with pop culture decorations. It's also unbearably loud: the booming music, kitchen operations, and boisterous staff created a headache-inducing cacophony in such a small space. Luckily, we were able to find much quieter seating elsewhere in the building. The food is great, as well as reasonably priced. The ramen is delicious and super filling. We also enjoyed the wings, which were fried to perfection and well-seasoned.

Maybe the best Thai food place in the Twin Cities metro so far, because ever since I got introduced…read moreto this place in mid-July, I have been back 4 times since then and have catered from them for my birthday gathering that happened at the end of August, so it is easy to see how impressed I was with their food. Among all the dishes I have tried, some of my favorites include the crab fried rice, the panang curry, the tom yum soup, the mango sticky rice, the masaman curry, and the chicken wings. Particularly, the crab fried rice got my attention because it was significantly more expensive than the other fried rice dishes, so I knew there was a reason for that and ordered the dish. It was super flavorful and the real crab meat including the claws were evident, and it wasn't clumpy at all, indicating that they used rice that was at least a day old. The panang curry was so savory that the ground peanuts just elevated the flavor and gave it that much creaminess texture. The masaman had a good amount of onions, tomatoes, potatoes, and roasted peanuts, and offered a comprehensively pleasant experience. The mango sticky rice was as good as that dish itself could be, because the dessert creation was simply fire. And finally, the chicken wings had incredibly soft meat and was seasoned inside out which made them really tasty. I would say the only dishes I didn't enjoy as much was the pad see yew which I thought had too much soy sauce because it was a bit salty. I also thought the pad thai didn't have enough tamarind and a bit too much palm sugar, but honestly that's with Thai food here in the United States in general. Regardless, the food here is just too good and this establishment may have just become my go-to spot for Thai food within the metro if I am to hang out with my friends over Thai food. I must also mention that the space is really nice because it bright and has many tables which makes it easy to hang out with friends and chat here, and I thoroughly love that.

Just be prepared to get a HUGE bowl that will feed you for at least 3 more days. The sushi was fair, nicely presented, just not the absolute best I've had. Still definitely worth ordering. They also have a great happy hour menu, which makes it easy to try a few different things. Service was smooth and food came out fairly fast. Wait time wasn't bad, even during a busier time. The space is clean and comfortable, good for both casual dinners and small group outings we had a party of 6. Portions are solid and everything felt consistent quality-wise. Overall, it's a reliable spot with a lot of variety. I'd go back to try more of the menu, just would probably adjust the spice level next time.

Our waiter was wonderful, friendly, and recommended a few choices. We wound up ordering a couple drinks and shared our dishes. The mango mojito was delicious, but lacked the typical mojito flavors. I love mango, so I was happy either way. My date ordered the Thai hot honey chicken and we both agreed that it was pretty mediocre. The flavor was a bit subpar and the sauce was more fishy than we expected. Not bad, but certainly not anything either of us would order again. I tried the red curry with tofu and it was phenomenal. The spice level was perfect and flavorful, I'm thinking about returning just to try it again! I would happily return again, but don't expect it to be a cheap spot!

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.

They have a few tap beers including a rice lager. We got Yaki-Shabu beef (spicy jalapeno miso), toro beef (sweet soy tare & miso) and spicy pork. It was all well marinated and overall excellent.
