Eat Street Crossing

"Popular Northeast Minneapolis restaurant PinKU, which dished up Japanese street food on University Avenue for five years before closing in 2021, has returned in a new format at local food hall Eat Street Crossing. Chef John Sugimura has teamed up with chef Louross Edralin (who recently debuted his own food counter, Staff Meeting, in the former Ramen Shoten space) to offer a ticketed omakase experience — i.e., a set menu curated by the chefs and served to diners in courses. PinKU is offering two omakase “tiers,” the first at $49 for five food courses (think dumplings; seared salmon rice balls; spicy tuna on crispy rice, for example) and the second at $96 for food and a beverage pairing. PinKU also offers a daily menu of yakitori, small plates, and oysters. Tickets are selling out fast so far, but keep an eye on PinKU’s Instagram page for updates." - Eater Staff
