Reviews for Kyatchi in Minneapolis, MN
The dining area is small and cute, but very loud. Dinner for 2 of us came out to around $50/person. We got a drink each, shared... a couple of appetizers and 2 sushi plates. The tofu karaage was very good— simple and perfectly crispy. Also enjoyed thesake. The pressed sake oshizushi was visually interesting, but the lemon slices were cut thick & the flavor was overpowering.It wasn’t pleasant to eat. The butterfly roll was messy & bland. In both of these, the fish ended up not being noticeableunder the other ingredients which was disappointing. We’ve had better sushi from the grocery store. Overall the quality andexperience just wasn’t worth the price. Read more
Got some really sad looking fish on the chef’s nigiri. Super pale (hard to tell which is salmon and which is tuna) and the... one piece I tasted was very blah. Used to love this place, but no dice today. Server didn’t even ask why we left the platefull. Read more
My friends and I enjoyed the outdoor season because the inside was incredibly noisy! The menu was very expansive, which we all... appreciate, and our food was nicely portioned and excellent! Read more
So, I was craving some authentic Japanese food and after a quick Google search, I found Kyatchi. Now, needless to say, I know... that truly authentic Japanese food is a rarity here in the U.S. All you really ever get is sushi and ramen! But, the menu seemedpromising to me at the time. I had never seen OSHIZUSHI (Kyatchi's famous pressed sushi) before, so I ordered the: SAKEOSHIZUSHI * (GF) $22 "our famous pressed sushi with salmon, slice of lemon and tobiko" ^^ This was really flavorful and had thethinnest lemon slice I've even seen! The lemon really enhanced the flavor of the salmon. However, for the price, I was honestlyexpecting a bigger serving size to potentially share with my partner... but, it was an extremely small sushi roll. I alsoordered one of the KUSHIMOMO (SKEWERS). I chose the SHISHITO (Japanese sweet chili pepper) in a yakitori sauce, which thewaitress recommended. It was really good! And reasonably priced at $4.25. The last thing I ordered was a Ume (pickled plum)Shiso Maki Roll for $8.75. It was very interesting, especially to my particular palate, and I'm so glad I gave it a try! I'm notsure if I'd order it again, but it was definitely worth the try. However, the price seemed a bit steep since this roll ONLY hadthe pickled plum, rice and Shiso leaf. Unfortunately, I don't know if those items are pricey, but it just "seemed" high to me.Usually, vegetarian Maki Rolls are closer to $5. My partner ordered a bowl of Ramen for $15 (which is a very standard price, inmy opinion) and he really enjoyed it. The broth was flavorful and not too salty like some I've had before. The pork belly wasalso really, really delicious! The only thing I didn't like about the restaurant was that they played hardcore EDM (that Iwould love at a music festival or dance club) which I just did NOT think suited the environment at all. It really made me feelrushed and a bit anxious considering I was really in the mood for a relaxing, authentic dinner. Other than Read more
First of all- the pressed salmon sushi was out of this world! A friend of mine has been RAVING about the pressed sushi for the... past 2 years, so my expectations were high. It totally exceeded my expectations- zesty, buttery, and the perfect balance oftextures. We also ordered barley tea, gyoza, a red snapper roll, and a yellow tail roll. The yellow tail roll was exceptional.The red snapper was good, but the flavor wasn’t my favorite (personal preference). The gyoza was delightful too. The barleytea was a great addition to the meal and was the perfect warming element on a chilly night. We were satisfied by the amount offood we ordered, but I would recommend ordering a couple of additional rolls if you’re really trying to be pleasantly fullafter the meal. Overall, great experience. We will be returning soon- probably for happy hour! Read more
I went with my partner for a New Years Eve celebratory dinner and all the staff was friendly and very helpful. We were torn... between the Berkshire pork gyoza and the fried chicken Kara-age for an appetizer, and ended up very pleased with the gyoza. Thethree rolls we ordered: yellow tail with green onion, red snapper with shiso, and the pressed salmon were all amazing but thepressed salmon roll -Sake Oshizushi- was truly stunning. It is one of the best food experiences I've ever had and I cannot waitto find an excuse to declare sushi night again soon Read more
Very interesting Japanese Fusion spot. We dined on the chicken meatball and pork belly skewers, the flying squid, the Ramen, the... scallop maki roll, and the artic char specialty roll. Loved the decor and atmosphere. The server was super friendly andattentive. Food all came out great (appropriate temp, excellent presentation, fresh). Onto the food. The chicken meatball andpork belly skewers were great. Great balance of savory and umami. The char from the grill also played well with the flyingsquid. The squid is not wasted as you get and entire squid minus the waste parts. The tentacles were a bit chewy, but the body nfin were tender and tasty. My only critique would be the mayo they utilize as sauce for the squid would be better subbed for asauce of some sort. I had the sushi rolls. They were both tasty and I could definately recommend both. The artic char roll has adistinct bite of lemon and was a truly fun combo of textures and flavors. The scallop maki were tasy as well, but were needingthat dip in soy and maybe a sprinkle of wasabi for kick. My fiancé had the ramen. She didnt enjoy the broth or how chewy thepork was, it was solid ramen otherwise. It just wasnt anywhere near the best in uptown/midtown area. Overall Kyatchi exceededmultiple expectations and was a delightful experience. Read more
My wife and I went there for happy hour sushi and we felt like this was great value! We got a negihama roll, Kara-age, and the... summer roll. The negihama roll was ok, but nothing special. The kara-age was absolutely delicious. The chicken wasdeliciously browned and with the Mayo dressing was absolutely phenomenal. The summer roll was delicious. Lemony, creamy, withdelicious fish. It was the most delicious sushi roll I’ve ever had. Read more
