A very popular Sushi/Asian restaurant with a great patio, and a wide variety of sushi rolls, sashimi, and noodle dishes too. There will usually be a wait to eat dinner here...lunch time usually you can go in and eat right away. You could bike to this restaurant in 5-10 minutes from the house. Whole Foods happens to be right next door too.

AMAZING Authentic street-style Tacos. A true hole-in-the-wall, family owned&operated business serving the best tacos and burritos in Minneapolis Metro (in my opinion.) Almost so good I'd issue a money-back guarantee and buy your lunch/dinner if you didn't like them. The Pastor Taco is my favorite..
