"Ama melds Japanese and Tibetan cuisines, pairing savory beef and vegetarian momos with sushi and sashimi a la carte, plus chef’s specialty rolls. Try the Lungta roll, made with spicy salmon, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and tobiko — its colors are an homage to Tibetan prayer flags. Another fun favorite is the fried banana roll with cream cheese." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Sister restaurant of Momo Sushi, Ama is one of the most exciting new restaurants to open in the Twin Cities in the past year. A Tibetan and Japanese fusion restaurant, its menu pairs savory beef and vegetarian momos with sushi and sashimi a la carte, plus chef’s specialty rolls. Try the Lungta roll, made with spicy salmon, tuna, yellowtail, avocado, and tobiko — its colors are an homage to Tibetan prayer flags. (Another unique favorite is the crazy monkey roll, made with fried banana and cream cheese.) Ama also sells a curated list of sakes at its Edina location on France Avenue." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff

The food is fresh and good. I really like the sushi here! And the portion is big enough to share. The tempura is good too. However, the store is small and crowded, and the staff might be busy. I am not sure if it could be reserved since we walked in when we visited. I would definitely recommend making a reservation due to limited space. Overall, highly recommended for good sushi.

Had a super great dinner at AMA last week! The sushi was DELICIOUS, there were tons of options, and the prices were affordable. The complimentary miso soup was such a fantastic touch, and will probably be the reason we’ll come back in the future! The staff was very friendly and super attentive even though we were outside, and they had to squeeze through a line of people to get to us!! I got the shrimp tempura roll ($7) and it was delicious! I also got a side fried rice (which i think is $5). My friend got the Phoenix Roll - one of the specialty rolls and we thought it was super good! She thought it was spicy but I didn’t, so use your own spice-comfortability judgement there. If you’re a sauce person, I would recommend getting an extra yum yum sauce for the fried rice. My friends got the cheese wontons as well and finished them immediately- they thought they were super good!!

I’m honestly hesitant to even write this review because I don’t want the secret to get out—AMA Sushi is that good. This place serves some of the best sushi I’ve had anywhere. The fish is fresh, the rolls are perfectly balanced, and the quality is consistently top-notch. What makes it even better? It’s shockingly reasonably priced for how good it is. Their lunch special is unbeatable—a total steal for the quality you’re getting. This is the kind of spot you want to keep to yourself… but they deserve the love.

Always love coming here for sushi. It’s a small, cozy space so sometimes there is a wait. However, the staff is really good at being attentive and serving your food to get people in and out efficiently. Sushi is excellent quality, fish is very fresh and priced fairly. They have great lunch deals as well. Great business!

My partner and I were looking for a new sushi spot to try and we really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was delicious and the service was great! The salmon was our favorite sashimi & the signature AMA roll was our favorite roll. We would definitely come back here again!

Visited AMA Sushi on a Sunday evening at 8 PM and was fortunate it wasn’t busy, though it seems it had been earlier. We tried the Scorpion Roll and the Burning Tree Roll—both had large, fresh, and delicious pieces of sushi. We also got the Tibetan Momos, which arrived hot and flavorful. The service was attentive and added to a great dining experience. Would definitely return!

Sitting outside enjoying a wonderful lunch of sushi and sashimi. So fresh, and tasty. Tuna and salmon were thickly cut, not thin like other sushi restaurants. Pricing was amazing for lunch!

The fish here is a 11/10! AMA sushi has some of the freshest fish in the Twin Cities and it’s very reasonably priced. The sashimi platters give you the most bang for your buck offering hearty portions of delicious fresh fish. My favorite is the sushi bucket which is perfect to share between 2-3 people. The restaurant is on the smaller side so I would recommend coming for a late lunch or early dinner to avoid the crowds.

We have been here several times and the food is great. I just want to give folks a heads up. When they tell you it's going to be ready at a certain time plan on adding at least 15 -20 minutes. We arrived at the appointed time to pick up our order. They told us it would be seven minutes more and I'm still sitting here waiting. Having said that, the food here is pretty amazing just be aware when you order online that it will not be ready on time. Just as a follow up, the manager explained what happens when you order online with some of the dishes. And then gave us a $20 gift card. This is excellent excellent customer service I am confident they will be able to fix the problem. However if you order the Moktuk online - that is what messes things up. Call the restaurant and ask them how long it will really be for for your order. Excellent customer service

There's a reason why this is our go to spot for date nights, lunch with the gals, and out of town guests!! The sushi here is our favorite, and the staff is always so welcoming (even during lunch and dinner rush hours). We tend to go during lunch time since they offer lunch specials, but regardless of the time, their prices are affordable. I highly recommend this spot for anyone who enjoys eating sushi, and for those who don't, their Chicken Fried Rice is the best one (our non-sushi lover friends rave about it). First Picture: Miso Soup (one of the reasons we come here - our favorite miso soup, and it's complimentary!!) Second Picture: Chicken Fried Rice Third Picture: (black board, left - right) New York Roll, Red Snapper Sushi, Hamachi Yellowtail Sushi, Kani Roll, Alaska Roll (wood board) Shrimp Tempura Rolls Fourth Picture: Mochi Dessert (highly recommend)

I recently visited AMA Sushi in Edina and had an amazing experience! The lunchtime special deal was incredible - we feasted on a variety of delicious Vegetarian sushi rolls, including AAC, Fried Banana, Mango, Avocado Peanut, Veg Tempura, and Sweet Potato. And to quench our thirst, we tried the Strawberry Japanese Soda drink, which was surprisingly good! It was my first time trying Japanese soda, and I'm hooked! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the service was great. However, be warned that the seating area is small, so there might be a wait for a table. But trust me, it's worth the wait! If you're a sushi enthusiast like me, you owe it to yourself to check out AMA Sushi. I can't wait to come back and try more of their amazing dishes! Pro tip: Be prepared for a wait, but it's worth it!

Great lunch. Generous sushi/sashimi lunch. Highly recommend. Friendly staff welcoming atmosphere and fresh fish. I will return.

Both times I've come to AMA have been absolutely delicious. The staff are super nice and attentive. Even if you have a little wait it will be faster than you expect. Everything we've tried tasted fresh and the hot items come out steaming. It's an intimate feel in the small dining room and their music adds great atmosphere. It's become a fast favorite for my friend and I!!

This restaurant was a great find in Edina for sushi! It was recommended for a girls night and we had a blast! Although it was a smaller place, the atmosphere was cozy and traditional feeling! We came on a Sunday evening for dinner, and without a reservation we were seated right away. The service took a little bit to get, but we were also waiting for one and it seemed like they were waiting for our whole party to arrive before serving us, which was ok for us! We shared a total of 6 rolls of sushi, all of which were incredibly delicious! My favorite was the rainbow dragon roll. I love shrimp tempura anything and this roll was loaded with it! The toppings were fresh and piled high! We also shared the momo roll, which was a newer taste for me. But the seaweed salad on top was so fresh and salty without tasting like the ocean. It rounded out the flavors so well of everything else in the roll! The November roll was also great, but was SPICY! If you're not a spice lover, I'd maybe stray away from this one. But I loved it! The soy paper it's wrapped in was also new to me, but I couldn't really taste it with all the other ingredients in it. If you're looking to switch up your sushi night location definitely check out AMA Sushi!

This is my favorite place for sushi in MN. Once upon a time it was a secret but the secret is out. The prices are reasonable and the quality is top notch. Also, the service is some of the highest quality in the state.

Maria F.

We did take out and were impressed by the sushi. I liked their miso soup and seaweed salad. The rolls are a good size and our hand rolls were delicious (yellowtail and scallop). There are a lot of creative rolls and they're a good size. I'd love to eat in the restaurant, but their take out is great, too!

Tried AMA sushi for the first time last week with a couple of friends. The restaurant is a little small but seats open up fast! There is free street parking which I always love. Be aware that all party members must be present to be seated. The service was great and friendly. She helped us out with recommendations and food came out fast. I shared the sushi bucket with a friend. The sushi bucket includes 5 pieces of sushi, 9 pieces of sashimi, California roll and 2 Chef's choice special rolls. This definitely filled me up fast! I wasn't the biggest fan of the sushi rolls but the sashimi pieces were super thick and filling! I would say the bucket is worth for the generous portion that they give. Overall, my experience didn't quite surpass other sushi restaurants but I am glad I got to try AMA sushi.

Yelp
I really like AMA Sushi! I first tried it via DoorDash for the first few times, but heard I just had to stop in for the sushi bucket -- so I did. The portion was fantastic for 2 or 3 people and was a nice variety and reasonably priced. I visited another time and enjoyed my ala carte meal of a couple rolls and some shrimp tempura. The staff here is so friendly and attentive and the place is almost always packed. In the summer they have a few outdoor spots which would be fun to sit at. Overall I think their fish quality is pretty decent -- I've had better, but I've also had much worse. I like their location and their prices are very reasonable.

Good food and nice ambience. Service was friendly and prompt will visit again for sure.

Tried out @amasushiedina tonight celebrating my 32nd Birthday with my husband! We loved the small intimate feel with the large menu What we ordered: Tuna Avocado Roll (7/10) Angry Dragon Roll (7/10) Beauty and the Beast Roll (9/10) House Fried Rice (9/10) Cheese Wantons (8/10) Miso soup (complimentary 8/10) There was a small outdoor section with 2 top tables where we were able to grab the last open table! the perfect spot to sit when weather permits! They do not take reservations so it's advised to arrive early! Also, your full party has to be present to be seated. Street parking is available but fills up quickly so you may have to park further down from the restaurant. We love our sushi and will be returning in the near future

Small space, when we went in we were lucky enough to find a table and didn't have to stand and wait. Service was fast but felt a little rushed. My sushi was delicious, however, my husband didn't like his hibachi combo too much. The soft-shell crab was good but I went without the katsu sauce This location only has paid street parking and a parking garage that is free on weekends. Other than that I would recommend, because sushi is their speciality and you can taste it in the quality.

Yelp
A hidden gem in Edina if you're looking for sushi and just new Asian food. They have Tibetan dishes and many more! It's a wide selection with no shortage of beer and wine to pair with your food! Friendly staff and fast service! Kid friendly and date friendly. Parking is hard to find though so bring a friend so you have someone getting a table while you park.

Stellar sushi for reasonable prices in a cute environment. What more could you want?!?

Yelp
this s*** is FIRE! speediest service & highest quality takeout sushi I've had in a long time. I will absolutely be returning in person. bit of a splurge on specialty items, but absolutely worth it and gave me the sushi fix I was looking for. we ordered the beauty and the beast (spicy tuna & cucumber inside, topped with tuna, salmon, spicy mayo, yellowtail & chef special sauce) - so fresh, perfectly chewy and tasty. this will go with anything. we also went out on a limb & ordered the AMA roll (Oshinko kompyo , smoked salmon, yellowtail, tuna , tobiko with SOY PAPER and Chef special's sauce) and it was HUGE..... such large portions and SO unique. I do not even know what oshinko kompyo is but it was pretty dang good. So many flavors compiled in here - a sweet, salty, and dare I say spicy hitting your tastebuds at the same time. I'm a big fan! next time going to try out some of their classic udon and maybe convince a few friends to get the sushi bucket?? We'll see!

Good rolls, less than desirable sashimi and nigiri, long waits for a table during peak times. I've tried a couple times to get into AMA over the past few months. The wait can be long during dinner. The restaurant is very small, but it appears they turn over tables rather quickly. I walked in on a Thursday. Your whole party needs to be present to be seated. We waited in line for about 15 minutes, which was totally fine though there wasn't any communication on how long it would be for a table, nor any communication at all really. We were greeted almost immediately after being seated. It took a bit long to get our drinks. But our sushi bucket came out quickly after that! We ordered the sushi bucket. For the price, it is a TON of food. The rolls are good! They are very similar to what you will find elsewhere, but at a better price point for sure. The sashimi was okay - the fish seemed fresh enough, but the pieces were huge and had an off-putting texture. The nigiri was much more manageable, but didn't have the added wasabi underneath. The ginger however was really gross. It had a weird lemony-bleachy smell. For an improved experience, their sister restaurant Momo in NE is a better option!

And just when I thought I had the perfect line-up of sushi restaurants figured out...someone recommends AMA. WOWZA! Really can't find a reason not to go there for every sushi night in the futur Located in the heart of 50th and France, parking is always a treat to figure out but we got lucky with street parking right in front of the restaurant! We were immediately seated at a booth in the middle of the dinner rush, which also felt really lucky. The space is kinda small and but nicely decorated and didn't feel cramped! Service was top notch during our stay, with multiple servers making sure we always had what we needed and they were so happy and positive! The food was phenomenal and such great value! I usually plan to spend $100 on a night out at sushi, but our bill, with tip, didn't even eclipse $60 (2 apps, 4 rolls). We started with the seaweed salad and the cream cheese wontons! Both were great quality classics! We also had the Philadelphia, Boston, Spicy Tuna, and Beauty and the Beast Roll. The Philadelphia was my favorite, cause cream cheese :) All in all, I have nothing constructive to report! Keep up the great work and couldn't recommend you check it out more!

Yelp
For a city that is so centrally land locked, this has some of the best sushi in the cities for the price! We balled out on some Saki and nigiri but if not for that, our entire bill would've been like $50 for 2 people to leave completely full! The place is quite small and seems a little cramped but once you sit down, you don't even notice it. Staff was all super friendly and I will 100% be coming back here the next time I'm craving sushi.

Charlie P.

Yelp
This place is great! Amazing prices for specialized rolls. The crab wontons were great flavor and crispy, just enough crab. Favorite rolls were the angry dragon and scorpion rolls. You can't have a stroller in the building but they do have high chairs. There is street parking only, which is challenging on weekends. The servers are so nice and loved our baby!

Edward S.

Yelp
The interior dining area is a bit tiny but the sushi and food is incredibly good while also being not too expensive (especially considering it's in Edina). The lunch specials are amazing. I had the chicken katsu lunch box and my wife had three sushi rolls. Due to it all being part of the lunch special it was less than $30! We have paid way more for way lower quality sushi. It also wasn't too busy on a Thursday around noon. Service was pretty fast and the staff was very friendly.

Scott M.

Yelp
Good portions. Good price. Great people. Strongly recommend. It's a smaller place, but very personal.

Michaela S.

Yelp
Decent prices but quality matches the price. The sashimi was really soft and mushy and quite fishy. We got the sushi bucket and shared between three people along with two appetizers and it was quite filling. The quality of fish just wasn't the greatest. The fried rolls were pretty good. This is a pretty small place so it was a little tight. A little hot inside but it was okay. Service was good and very fast.

Eddy H.

Yelp
Really cute and cozy restaurant on a busy fancy Edina street. Service was good. Food came out pretty quick actually and we enjoyed every bite!

Jenae C.

Yelp
We waited ~15 minutes for a table on a Tuesday evening. The dining room is pretty small and it was a popular place! There are 3 tables on the sidewalk outside as well. The inside was pretty and had cool decorations. The location in Edina is prime, and there's a big parking garage across from AMA for east parking. We tried the sushi bucket and I was a little disappointed you couldn't choose anything in it. You get two chefs choice specialty rolls and they gave us tempura crab for both. They were ok, but if you want anything specific it's definitely best to order separately. The sashimi and nigiri was very fresh and good on it though! It's a lot of sushi for $40.

Ama Sushi is a small Sushi Spot in the 50th and France area. Parking is easy with a nice sized parking lot behind Ama or plenty of street parking. The menu is huge with tons of options to choose from. I was visiting with friends & we shared Sushi rolls, Momo, and each got our own Sake Flight. This is a must visit sushi spot. Everything tastes fresh, looks amazing, and tastes very good. This was my first time trying a fried banana roll and I am obsessed. I also really enjoyed the Ama Roll, butterfly roll, and Momo's. We tried the beef and veggie Momo. I think the veggie was my fav. The Sake flight was pre-set and fun to try. It had a few sakes and a plum wine. The service was consistent and everyone here was really nice. I would recommend this spot and I do plan to return as well.

Mezan G.

Yelp
This is such a gem! This was my first time indulging in sushi and everything was fantastic! Ambience: Beautiful decor. It is a little bit tight so you may need to wait a little bit to get seated. We sat at the bar area (not really a bar, just closest to the kitchen) and we got to see all of the action and even got a complimentary roll. Service: They waitress was really kind. I highly recommend looking at the menu before getting there as they do give you time, but they take your order all at once so it's best to be semi- prepared. Food: Quality food at a great price! It was very affordable and the quality was top tier. My favorite was the beauty and the beast and the Tibet mountain rolls. I also really enjoyed the sake flight 1, the red one was my favorite. As for parking, you could either parallel park in front of the restaurant or head over to the next block for free ramp parking. Overall, great food and affordable pricing.

A favorite place to get sushi from! Love the lunch special as you can pick from a variety of rolls for a great price! Always have a great experience here, servers are friendly and are attentive.

My go-to sushi place! I love the food here. They have plenty vegetarian options to choose from. The rolls are delicious and well flavored. There is street parking nearby which can be tricky at times, but I've always found something or the other nearby. Service is good, they are a FCFS basis restaurant, no reservations so there is always a bit of a wait. It's small and cozy but well decorated. Noodles are a great choice to order as well! My favorite are the vegetable soba noodles!

Grace S.

Yelp
Tibetan Momo Soup & the broth is so delicious & all of it tastes of love! At capacity seating & THIS food is made from scratch & is full of health, vitality & deliciousness in the momo soups. People come here so they can glow! Coming again & again! The dishes! Locally thrown pottery? What lovely detail! Warmth from the staff & right back at ya! Suggesting this place to more friends & the friend I came with, as we discovered this together, we are coming again!

Genesis M.

Yelp
So glad to come here again and finally try the bucket! I love that it was the perfect amount for me and my fiancé. We started off with their soup which was very welcomed after how cold it was outside. The sashimi and all the rolls we got were excellent quality. I was blown away at the fact that one of the rolls was deep fried. The bucket includes : 5 pieces of sushi , 9 pieces of sashimi and California roll, and 2 of Chefs Special rolls $40. 95+ Service was fantastic and warm also was shocked that people remembered us and were happy to see us. The place as usual was packed but when we walked in there was a table available right away. I had to use the bathroom this time and that is located in the back side. It was clean and it's only 1 bathroom so keep that in mind. I've figured that I don't have luck finding parking on the street so we tend to park now in the parking ramp and cross the street in between the restaurant Salut and Edina Grill. Had a fantastic meal and honestly I know I will be back here!

Girls sushi dinner is always one of my favorite nights out. Don't skip on the AMA sushi bucket! So much bang for your buck and tasty. This place is rather small and popular. No reservations are available here so first come first served. They also want you to order all at once. That didn't seem typical of most sushi restaurants but we definitely ordered enough food

Trina V.

Yelp
AMA is owned by the same people who own Momo so if you love Momo, you'll love AMA! The fish is always fresh and everything is very reasonable priced. I love the combo meals, especially the spicy maki combo, and the fried banana rolls. Sashimi is also fresh, and of course, have to get some Momos, or Tibetan dumplings, when you are there. Service can be a lil slower since they can get pretty busy but staff is generally communicative. It is a smaller space, about the same size as Momo, but there's free ramp parking nearby and some street parking. The restaurant itself is well lit, although the tables can be close to each other, and it appears that you can call in to reserve for larger groups. Overall, I would recommend AMA and as someone who is bad at parallel parking, I am so glad that I have a more accessible spot to go for my sushi and Momos!

Lisa P.

Yelp
I've been here a few times now and I think the sushi is excellent (especially for the price). On one visit, I had a misunderstanding of my order with the server, but it was rectified and at my next visit, they even acknowledged it again. The servers are very friendly and the food is high quality, delicious, and usually pretty quick. The lunch specials are great if you can take advantage of that. My favorite rolls are the Beauty and the Beast and the Rainbow Dragon. As others have mentioned, the space is small. It would be difficult to go with more than 4 people. Parking is easy at 50th and France.

Went to this place alone on a Saturday night. Waited for about 20 minutes for an inside table. Service was great, they brought me a free bowl of miso soup after ordering. My rolls were amazing and so fresh! Can't wait to go back.

Jessica N.

Yelp
Still as wonderful as always!!! They truly optimize on what they can do with such a small space! Plenty of indoor seating. They have also created a cute little outdoor patio seating that lines France. Food is phenomenal! Amazing lunch specials. Phenomenal speciality rolls. Tibetan options as well. The service is absolutely phenomenal. We have heard that due to social media exposure they have become even busier than they usually are. Both sit down and to go orders. Please Please be patient and provide the servers and chefs grace and respect. They work so hard and try the best they can- and still despite being busy still find a way to deliver amazing service.

Luke G.

Yelp
I'm so impressed with this place. Its a small space; especially if you have a group bigger than 6! The prices here are very reasonable. Nothing is overpriced, and the nigiri is quite generous. They have amazing lunch specials as well! Also, there's complementary miso soup! The fried rice is really good! A great fried texture that clearly got its color from the "fried" compliment of cooking (as allowed to some who just drench in soy sauce).

Amelia M.

Yelp
We loved AMA Sushi! Everything we ordered was just stunning upon arrival and tasted even better! We especially loved the Golden Salmon Sushi Appetizer. Also tried the Harumaki which was perfectly crispy and three delicious specialty rolls -

Elise L.

Yelp
Food was good. Ordered a sashimi chefs special appetizer with the gyoza. The sashimi was ok - it came with tuna, salmon, and what seemed like yellowtail. Salmon was really good, the others were alright. The gyoza was good but would have liked it to be a little crispier. For sushi rolls we got the rainbow dragon, AMA roll, and the spicy dynamite. The AMA roll stole the show for us tonight - the pickled radish in the pink soy wrap was put together really well. The spicy dynamite roll was fried a little longer than we usually like it making it a bit chewy. Service was excellent - there were three servers on for the whole night but they ran a tight ship and seemed really well managed. The sushi bar was open and they were getting food out timely. We were there right before 6pm on a Tuesday and it seemed like perfect timing as it was rather quiet when we arrived, but had a line waiting out the door when we left. It is a smaller venue. It was a cozy vibe.

Shela U.

It was cozy and affordable. I really liked our server. However, the sushi was honestly mediocre at best. The fish wasn't freshest and the sushi rice was old and unseasoned. I think there are much better options in the area.

Andrew B.

Yelp
The place was overly crowded and loud. We found the food to be lacking flavor and sashimi to taste a bit like bleach. The staff checked in about every 15 minutes and main courses came before appetizers.

Not going to lie, after the high reviews, I really had high hopes for this to be a new sushi spot. Perhaps I'm judging too harshly since everyone's feeling the difficulties of the economy, however I was completely surprised by the small portions for such prices. This is a small spot with limited outdoor seating with cozy yet contemporary décor. Within a minute of sitting down, I was given tall glass of ice cold water and a complementary miso soup. The miso soup was actually very good! Unlike some places, it was not watered down but full of flavor and it also was not super salty. Unfortunately, things went a little bit downhill from here. I ordered the classic sake flight for $10 and a tako (octopus) sunomono. The portion was tiny. There were two small slices of pickled radish and maybe 10 tiny slices of octopus over a bed of spinach with ponzu sauce and sesame seeds. The octopus was fresh, however, it needed more acid, which usually sunomonos have. In fact, sunomono literally means vinegar and there was none to be found... After eating a slice of octopus, it got very very very rich and there was not much reprieve that I was hoping for. I also got two of the specialty rolls, the Momo Roll and Langtu roll. This was my biggest disappointment. The size of the rolls were about the diameter that you would get from a California roll. For $15 per roll, I found this to be quite small. The Momo role was a lot smaller than the previous pictures have shown. Also, the piece of eel was good, but it overwhelmed any other flavors. The Lungta roll was tasty, with the pop! pop! pop! from the roe on top. Again, the size was smaller than most specialty rolls that are found at essentially all other sushi restaurants. All in all, the ingredients are great, fresh and quality. Service was amazing with servers that were knowledgeable, filled water glasses often and were attentative without being overbearing. I liked the sake flight options and they also had an extensive beer and wine list. I just wish that the portions were more like what you would find and expect at any other sushi restaurant. I will probably try again and most likely stick to traditional dishes.

Delicious & fresh! Beautiful ambience. I wish I had a place like this near home in Illinois. Removed one star because the website and phones were down so I couldn't make a reservation in advance. The place is hopping and reservations would be helpful.

AMA Sushi is the best combination of prize and flavor in the Twin Cities. Do not let the small interior fool you! Although it is a bit out of the way in Edina, the drive is so worthwhile. There is plenty of street parking around during the week and on weekends. There was no line, and we were seated immediately. The menu has so many options! We ordered several individual sushi (eel, salmon, scallop, etc.) and three rolls (November Roll, Naruto Roll, and Angry Dragon Roll). Everything tasted fresh, and their combinations of flavors were so yummy. The size of the rolls, sashimi, and sushi were plentiful. The service was friendly and quick. I definitely recommend AMA Sushi to all my friends who want good sushi at an affordable price. PS They have fantastic lunch deals during the week.

AMA Sushi serves decent Tibetan food and middling Japanese dishes. Starting with the Tibetan dishes, the vegetable momo ($7.75) is vegan by default and not bad. I think the momos at Gorkha Palace in Northeast Minneapolis or Himalayan Restaurant on Lake Street are better, but these were fine. The vegetable thentuk ($13) is vegan by default with handmade flat noodles. I liked the dish, but the thentuk at Tibet Kitchen on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis is better (heartier and more savory). Onto the Japanese dishes: the vegetable gyoza ($5.25) is vegan by default and tasted good with nice filling. The vegetable fried rice can be made vegan by omitting egg ($8.75). I liked the green onions and sticky rice. Considering the small portion sizes at AMA Sushi, this dish will fill you up and is a nice accompaniment. The vegetable soba noodles, stir fried ($8.75) failed to impress with a weird flavor that I didn't care for. It was vaguely salty and ketchup-y. Lastly, the kampyo, oshinko and mango rolls (all $4.50 and all vegan by default) were fine, but industrial-grade sushi: white rice with a couple pieces of vegetables wrapped in seaweed. AMA isn't bad, but isn't great. If you want better Tibetan food or Himalayan food, go to the places I mentioned above. If you want better Japanese food, check out Midori's Floating World Cafe or Ramen Kazama, both in Minneapolis.

Oh AMA, how do I say how much I love you?! AMA is easily my favorite sushi near the twin cities. We've been here multiple times and never been disappointed. The vibes are always right, the service is fast and friendly, and the food is always great. Our favorite roll this time around was the Angry Dragon with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, and mango. It's so good!!

This is the best affordable sushi in the twin cities I've found so far and I think the high ratings are accurate. Got takeout (2 udon soups, 2 rolls, and 1 order of momos) which came out to around $70 which is a great price for 3 people and left us all satisfied to full. The udon was decent, not the best I've had but satisfies the cravings. The momos were delicious, I can imagine they would be even better if eaten hot at the restaurant. The specialty rolls were unique and flavorful, the fish fresh and the salmon fatty. Parking is a little hard right outside the restaurant (street parking), but we stopped by on a Saturday night and there were still some spots here and there. The restaurant is small but has a good amount of seating (mostly smaller tables for 2-4). I really appreciated the service even for takeout, the hostess quick to check and communicate the status of my order and showed me a place I could sit and wait that didn't block the doorway. I think that in particular pushed this to a 5 star experience even if you're just getting takeout.
