Hikari Hand Roll Bar

Very tasty sushi, the chef was in, so I was able to get the Chef's choice spread of nigiri, and it was absolutely delightful. Fresh and flavorful. I was especially delighted to get some fatty bluefin, since its one of my favorite fish. The hand rolls were spicy enough to know there was a good blend, but not so spicy that I ended up suffering. The eel roll was lovely, with perfectly rip avacado and well done eel. The chefs choice and half a roll I ended up eating with a friend was a fantastic size for a filling meal. It will definitely be among one of my first stops when I'm at Eat Street Crossing again!

This is definitely the place to come if you want to enjoy high-quality toro! We came here for lunch on a Friday, and everything was incredibly fresh. The fish was top-notch — especially the toro, which melted in our mouths. We tried different omakase levels toro, scallop, squid, and salmon, and each one was outstanding. The chef is very friendly, and we really enjoyed sitting at the bar, chatting with him, and ordering different kinds of sushi. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves fresh, high-quality sushi and a welcoming atmosphere.

Went with my boyfriend last night, we like to go out a lot and this is the best sushi place we have been. Definitely recommend their Audi and sexy roll. The place is really nice to hangout and there’s bar beside it that goes along with their delish rolls. Would come back over and over again!

Amazing experience! The chef went above and beyond by making creative dishes that were off-menu, and all were delicious. Sitting at the sushi bar made it even better as the chef was personable and fun to chat with. Great spot for top-quality sushi and a great time. Highly recommend!

It's inside eat Street Crossing and the atmosphere is overall chill and casual recommend if you don't know what you want or a group of friends. Overall the fish in the handball seemed fresh and hood and the flavor was there but nothing mind blowing and I ordered the spicy tuna, spicy scallop, and spicy crab but it wasn't spicy which was a bit sad. They do put in a generous amount of fish ratio wise compared to the rice. So if you want to think this is a pleasant place to go!

The sushi here is SO FRESH! The sushi chef is passionate and knows his flavors too! Everything is well seasoned and well thought out. A good amount of wasabi in every bite. The scallop sushi with the fish egg had so much flavor and became my favorite! I’m not even a fan of raw squid, but the squid with the shiso leaf added dimension. It’s all the little things the chef considers that makes the sushi taste great compared to other sushi spots. Definitely stop by and get yourself sushi and their hand rolls! You will not be disappointed.

Jason…. Let me tell you… you killed it with this sushi experience! You brought back memories of the best sushi I’ve had in the Midwest, before everything became gluten-FREE! Yes, Jason’s fish is high quality but the star of every piece of sushi I ate here had to do with his RICE! The rice is out of this world and just elevates every single bite you have. I walked in and was lucky enough to have Jason whip up an Omakase for me and finished it off with a roll. Minneapolis, this is a hidden gem and out ranks every single sushi joint in town.

Normally this place is already pretty good, but you gotta come experience it on a Friday when they get fresh shipments in. They have a bigger selection on Fridays. You basically get Omakase level quality for a fraction of the price. Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Super friendly staff too.

Phenomenally fresh! We really enjoyed our trip to Eat Street Crossing. This was our main course and while we almost couldn't finish it was certainly the highlight. Fish was extremely fresh and the flavors mended perfectly. Our only regret was missing out on the Toro which had already sold out. Will be back! Servers were friendly and noted you could get nigiri if it was not overly busy.

Located in the eat street crossing food hall. Lots of seating available. Parking is ok with their free lot but the area is a little hard to get to. Every aspect of the sushi is done very well! I was really was impressed with the quality, texture and flavor of the rice. Its fluffy and soft. The fish pieces are large, melt in your mouth and flavorful. This place has tuna belly (churo toro) which is uncommon to see and find! Rivaling the selection of Chef Baaska and Billy sushi but more accessible to the average person. In the future, I hope they will offer a chef's choice nigiri flight. This quality of fish could shine in a nigiri. The rolls are large and a good price. The salmon hand roll has full intact pieces which in my opinion is better than the minced fish. My favorite was hirkari roll followed by the salmon hand roll. The owner Jason is very nice and passionate about his food. Sitting at the bar and talking with him is a really a true Japanese experience!

My fiancé and I tried this place out and we loved it! The rolls were so delicious and had a lot of flavor. Our service was great and quick. Also, Eat Street Crossing is always a good vibe.

A new hand roll bar has opened in Minnesota!! Located in Eat Street Crossing (great location with other restaurants in the food hall). When I went there, it was still soft opening so, it was not as busy yet. The worker was super friendly and informative. My friend and I got the spicy tuna, salmon, yellowtail, spicy crab and scallop hand roll. The worker informed us to eat it right away, or the seaweed would get soggy. I would say each roll is very simple and basic but that's what I like about it. It will definitely fill you up quickly. Each roll was stuffed and kept me very full. I was only able to eat two hand rolls before getting full. My favorites are the salmon and spicy crab. I'll def want to come back and try more out!

First timer and had the best experience. Sushi was amazing along with the best Customer service interaction. Each hand roll and rolls came out as if we were at a high end restaurant. Definitely will be back with friends and family.

Eat Street Crossing's food court has Hikari which is known for their hand rolls and they are good! It was fun getting to know Jason, one of the chefs, as he talked about the restaurant and his knowledge in sushi. I liked the spicy scallop handroll which is a popular one. I also had a 6 piece premium sushi order that was a treat if you like toro. They ran out of uni but he added extra toro on top which was awesome. The premium sushi is pricey but the fish is high quality.

I tried the Sexy Salmon Roll. It was 8 pieces for $20--so the price was extreme to me. The service was good. My husband and I went for a late lunch on a weekday afternoon, and we were served promptly. Although, I do have to say that the pieces are bigger than usual. Overall, it was decent sushi. Due to the pricing, I would have a hard time deciding which rolls I wanted, but I'm glad they have a home at Eat Street Crossing.

This sushi restaurant is located in Eat Street crossing foodhall. We walked into the building and I saw a familiar face. I didn't know my friend is now working at this place. I asked him to make me a poke bowl, one with rice for my friend and for me veggies. This restaurant is known for their hand rolls and sushi. The poke bowl he made me was delicious.

Have been back several times and can say that quality and service is consistently stellar. Chef Jason and his team take great care in using fresh ingredients and provide wonderful service. New favorites are the toro handroll when available and the sexy salmon roll. Great ambiance and love that there are many seating options in the food hall. A fun place to go with friends and family!

Hikari Handroll Bar has become my go-to sushi spot in Minneapolis, and for good reason. Jason's passion for quality shines through in every hand roll--fresh, well-balanced, and packed with flavor. With top-tier imported seafood, great prices, and consistently warm, welcoming service, every visit feels special. Whether it's a birthday celebration or just an excuse to return, I'm always impressed. If you love sushi, don't hesitate--give this place a shot. Minneapolis has been waiting for a spot like this for a long time.

Wish I would've taken some pics, but on a rare visit to ESC, we finally got to try this spot. Everything was FRESH, fast, delicious and authentic. Down to the dining experience itself. Shoutout Jason and the team for the above n beyond service. Y'all went crazy! We gone be back for sure.

Hikari Hand Roll is a brand new sushi/hand roll spot inside of Eat Street Crossing. I love sushi and have struggled to find good quality sushi that is even somewhat affordable in the Twin Cities, and this place definitely delivers on both counts. I went with a friend and we tried the Hikari sushi roll, which for $22 is sizeable and packed to the brim with fresh sushi-grade fish. We also tried the sexy salmon roll, which was packed with spicy ahi and topped with buttery salmon slices, and the scallop hand roll, which chef told me he imports directly from Hokkaido, Japan. I got to talking with Chef Jason and was blown away by his passion for sushi and providing good quality dishes for his customers. They are in a soft opening stage right now with a grand opening next month, and I will DEFINITELY be back!

Chef Jason did an amazing job delivering fresh hand rolls bursting with flavor, freshness and quality. The over atmosphere was fun and upbeat! Will definitely come again. Recommend the spicy scallop hand roll, spicy salmon and tuna!

Unreal! We had four rolls, and they were all impeccable and just filled to the brim with fresh, flavorful fish. Hikari quickly became our favorite sushi shop in Minneapolis. We will absolutely be back with friends and you should go too!

Fast and delicious! Three for 18 is a good deal. This is the part where you yelp is going to make me keep writing to achieve a character minimum.

If you haven't been to Hikari Hand Roll Bar, do you even like sushi?? This place is fantastic! Hands down the best hand rolls I've ever had. So fresh and so flavorful and they don't skimp on the fish. The staff is super friendly and the vibe is on point. Give this place a try if you haven't already. You'll love it, I promise.

The fish was fresh and good but IMO the rolls were super Meh. Not a lot of flavor or options. Probably wouldn't go back.

Everything we had was amazing!! Got uni on toro, spicy scallop, spicy crab, yellowtail, eel hand roll and seared fatty tuna.

So so good! Highly recommend for food and service. Jason the owner made something special for me and it was one of the best rolls I've ever had. It's saying a lot because I've lived all over the country and travel extensively. I'm a huge foodie and love that I have this as an option close by. Will be back!

Phenomenal! I ordered off menu, Tony and Steve absolutely accommodated. THIS IS THE BEST SUSHI IS MINNEAPOLIS!!!

My first time at Hikari Hand Roll at Eat Street Crossing and it was amazing!!! I had the spicy scallop hand roll and the spicy salmon hand roll and both were very good. But I got to say my favorite is the spicy scallop hands down. The price for the rolls were pretty good for the amount of food you get. Service was also great and they were pretty quick to get my food out. I'm definitely coming here again.

I liked everything about my experience and the food was exceptional. Didn't have to wait for a table and didn't have to ask for anything because they thought of it all.

The Hikari Sushi Roll was outstanding! It was fresh and the balance between spicy and sweet was perfect. Large enough to share. Staff was also great. I would put this in my top 5 for sushi in Minneapolis.

Tried Hakari for the first time today and it did not disappoint. The sexy salmon roll and the spicy crab hand roll were both delicious and large. The chef was quick and helpful! Not to mention the beautiful rustic interior with plenty of places for a private meal. Will definitely be back!

Best sushi in Minnesota hands down. Service was experience on its own. Staff was personable to everyone that walked in the door. Atmosphere was vibrant.
