The food is good. But--I really can't stand it when restaurants advertise their prices one way on their menus and then when they ring you up the prices are marked higher.Their entire menu is all wrong price wise. The guy who checked me out said oh yeah just increase all those prices by 5%. I paid 17 bucks for one small roll. Kinda crazy. Prob won't come back bc of the poor service and non-transparency with their pricesResponse to owner:Of course I know prices had to increase because of the pandemic. Everyone did that that’s fine—that is not the issue. The issue is that you do not want to update your menus to reflect your new prices so it has become an issue of false advertising.Why would you just assume everyone would know your new prices? What about someone coming to your restaurant for the first time? Thank you for the free soda but honestly, I am not a soda drinker. I have no problem with your prices as long as they are advertised on your menus correctly and I know what I’m paying for ahead of time. That’s pretty standard for a restaurant. A customer has the right to know what they are ordering and how much it actually costs and not just be surprised at check out.

MN Health Department needs to inspect this place. I got food poisoning this past weekend from here. Rice was definitely bad. It smelled funny but sometimes fried rice will have fish sauce so I ate a few bites anyways and it immediately didn’t sit well. 2 hours later I’m puking up black rice up.The sushi is also very low quality. HY-VEE is better quality, fresher, and more affordable.I guarantee you if you go measure the temperature of the rice in this restaurant, it will be a health violation. Rice is not suppose to sit at room temperature. I live a split second away from this place and I showed up before the food was ready to pick it up. Never again.

My first time here…there were bugs crawling on the window and when I told the guy at the register, he said he’ll take care of it but then continued to ignore it. Lost my appetite when one fell on me. Then as I went up to ask for the tray covers for my food, I see the same guy making an order, touching the trash can and proceeded to use the same hand to scrape food off the scraper and put the scraper back on the food counter….no second thought on washing it after you just touched a trash can???? Wont be returning.***response to restaurant:There shouldn't be bugs inside where your customers eat their food. And there is NO misunderstanding, I was standing there waiting to ask for container covers. Your staff grabbed the trash can, moved it, use the same hand to scrap food off the scraper into the trash and placed the scraper back onto the counter.

10/10 the best steak fried rice I’ve ever had and the egg rolls are some of the best I’ve ever had as well. Please go out of your way to try this place, great people and great

I got the chicken pad thai medium spice. I love pad thai and it was good, but not spicy enough to be considered "medium spice". The portion was smaller than any other restaurant I've been to. You can dine in, but there's only a few tables. The employees were very nice and it didn't take long for my food to be ready. This is my first time going to Sushi Cafe, so I can't comment on any other food. I love thai tea, but the large was over $7, which is even more that what Starbucks charges for most of it's drinks, so I didn't get it. There's not many restaurants that offer Thai food in the Woodbury/ Cottage Grove/ Hastings/ Afton area, so I'm grateful there are at least some.

Great for takeout, but not the best for dine in service. It's like they closed down for Covid and never reopened. They also have an option for hibachi but I don't understand how, there's only 3 tables and no grills.

If I could give zero stars I would. Staff is rude and hard to communicate with. About a year ago I came in to check the process of my online order and watched a male employee take my sushi out of the trash, put it on the counter and then put it in the serving tray. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! I left and called and canceled my order. I just ordered through grub hub, waited nearly two hours just to call, get interrupted and was told my food has been ready HOURS AGO!! I should have been notified my food was done and ready or at least gotten a check up call. This place has good food but is horribly managed. I’m so surprised more people don’t get sick from this food. Awful awful awful! DONT EAT HERE!

This is where I place my happy order. It's just really good sushi... In Cottage Grove! The fancy rolls are excellent, but it's the standard salmon sushi that gets me every time. If my wallet allowed I would order here every day of the week.

Bubble tea review: I made an online order. It said my order will be ready approximately in 30 mins. I went to pick up my order at the time they said. When I got there, no one greeted me. I saw my drink sitting on the counter. I went to grab it myself. My drink was not cold and it tasted watered down. It seemed like my drink was sitting there for 30 mins. Wish there was a way they could of let me know sooner to grab it.

When Sushi Cafe first opened, I was elated as Cottage Grove did not have a sushi restaurant. The portions were extremely plentiful and service was great. During the "pandemic", the restaurant closed for dining in and their website was not user friendly. I ordered takeout and was disappointed with the diminished portion sizes and uncleanliness of the restaurant. Upon returning recently, I have been very impressed by my food (typically sashimi) and the service is great. They are open for dining in now, although I have not done so yet. The portion sizes are not as large as when they first opened, but are appropriate for the price. Miso soup is really good too!!

Ordered on line and it said it would be ready in 30minutes (sesame chicken and 2 sushi rolls). I got there in 15 minutes and food was already on the counter (if waited full 30min would have been very cold). 1 employee was sitting at the counter watching tv and eating other employee on phone. Waited till employee got off phone and he pointed at my order sitting on counter.Sesame chicken sauce tasted like ketchup and only had small pieces of chicken nothing else(everywhere I’ve ever ordered it there is broccoli in it and a side of rice) it tasted like it was from the freezer section of the grocery store and sushi rolls which were tiny, looked and tasted like they used a creamed canned veggie sauce as filling. In a word it was gross!!Nasty and expensive certainly would not go back and do not recommend it….

I was so excited to try this place as someone had long ago recommended it, and I kept it in my back pocket flagged on Yelp to try- I finally had an opportunity, and I was so sadly disappointed. Firstly, on a service front, there were four individuals there working, no other customers.. and I felt like a massive inconvenience for being there. They were on their phones and disengaged. When it came time to make sushi, they touched their phones- then didn't wash their hands before putting their hands all over my sushi- yuck! I also ordered a fried noodle dish.. and the individual who made it literally sneezed over it! Not only was service lacking and unhygienic, the food quality was absolutely not up to Par. The tempura shrimp was unrecognizable, the noodle dish was so dry- it felt more like curry powder than sauce.

I could push some of my order to 4 star but I go back to what I wanted here which was good sushi so that is why I am going with a 3. The California roll was ok but we got a tuna roll and no idea what they did to it. It was so weird like a crumble of a blend and I could taste or see no tuna. Also I have never seen such small sushi. They were all tiny. On to the hibachi - I liked but I thought it was way over priced for one take out stir fry dish. Hubby like his Gyoza dumplings. I doubt we would try this again because of the other options in the area.
