I love that there is NO Tip !!! Service charge is already included in the food price. Happy Hours is great!. Staff is attentive and polite. Food comes out quickly. Nice ambiance. Parking is free on the small parking lot at the side of the building.

Nice little restaurant in the heart of Minneapolis serving up cooked and raw Japanese dishes. They have a daily happy hour of small plates which gives you a good sampling of their offerings. The cooked items are really good but the sushi I had the evening I was there was not fresh. In fact some of the pieces smelled fishy which is never a good sign. Prices factor in a service charge so there is no expectation that you also leave a tip. Plenty of street parking, nice ambience in the restaurant. Friendly staff.

Kyatchi is easily one of the best Japanese restaurants in Minneapolis. The menu focuses on sustainably sourced seafood, which makes the sushi feel both thoughtful and exceptionally fresh. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are consistently wonderful.
Their happy hour is outstanding, with creative cocktails and some fantastic small plates. The chicken kara-age is to die for, served with lemon and Japanese mayo, and they also offer a great vegetarian kara-age made with crispy fried tofu. There is an even more amazing dish on the happy hour menu, but I will leave that one as a mystery for people to discover on their own.
I could happily eat here every day.

Great sushi and Japanese! Great service. I was caught off guard when there was no place to write in tip, but the server told me they get paid fairly and integrate what they would get for tips in the prices of their food. So, if the prices are steep, this is why! Food was excellent though. Tables are tight together so it’s a little cozy. But would recommend coming here!

Excellent service and food as always. I never miss a chance to swing by when I’m in the Twin Cities. They do not expect tipping, and roll all fees, etc. into the upfront price on the menu.

Loved our meal. Our family of 4 including two teens had a delightful Sunday dinner here. The standards of miso soup and the assortment of sushi were excellent. We also added a panko fish sandwich, a side of fried tofu and had two of their desserts. All in a great meal, plus we took advantage of the happy hour prices. We will be back!

I love this spot! Good fresh ingredients that highlight the flavor of the fish. If you go to a sushi restaurant like Kyatchi you’ll find that they really appreciate the cut and quality. To me, that’s not always easy to find. So glad I’m in the neighborhood!

Great restaurant with unique Japanese flavors. We went there on date night and were not disappointed. Go a little early and hit up their happy hour! The dining area is small and somewhat loud at times, but I would still recommend coming. I highly recommend the pickled plum Onigiri.

I really wanted to like this place, but it honestly felt like a rip-off. Our bill was just over $100, and the food just wasn’t good. I get that the prices are higher (about 19%) because they pay staff more and don’t require tipping, but it still felt like we paid a 30% tip for a meal that didn’t come close to being worth it.
$30 for six pieces of sushi and the fish looked lifeless and sad. All I could really taste was rice. Honestly, the $15 sushi box from Kowalski’s tastes way better.
Kara-age chicken —the chicken tasted old, like it was starting to turn green. Crispy though! we still ate everything we ordered because it’s so expensive
Service was okay—not too bad, but nothing special either. And since servers get 20% no matter what, it didn’t feel like there was much effort to be friendly or make the experience great.
Not trying to trash the place, just hoping this honest review helps them step it up. As it is, I wouldn’t go back.

We had a positive experience at Kyatchi. The food was good although we liked the skewers and appetizers better than the sashimi and sushi, which were okay but not amazing.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for better service during our time there.
There were many tables in the restaurant. Easy to be seated during lunch time.
