EaterFebruary 12, 2013Created by Tanpopo's Koshiki Yonemura Smith, Shoyu offers sushi, noodles, fried rice, and other Japanese entrees. Noodles and dumpling wrappers are made fresh daily.
Chez StockOctober 20, 2014probably some of the best airport food I've ever had. Salmon poké and crispy brussel sprouts were perfect before along flight. plus, AC available at every seat, so charge while you eat!
Lisa ZimmerSeptember 23, 2012Great concept, order on iPad, then surf web while you wait. Nice setup for solo travelers with time to kill. Outlets at every seat for charging your gear, too. Food freshly prepared in open kitchen.
Patrick MacKelvieAugust 8, 2014Hip, hidden gem. One of many upgrades to the food options at MSP. Fish is fresh, drinks are strong. Charge your toys while you dine too!
Jason KonenSeptember 15, 2014Their spicy tuna was pretty good, actually spicy. Tried their pork ramen, which was also good. I'll be stopping here again next time I fly through.
Amazing Sushi that's fresh; super easy to order and very nice and quick service! Great spot and a must-stop by when passing through MSP!
Kristina SyversenDecember 15, 2013Had the crunchy roll and the scallops. Tasted pretty good, but too little food for such a pricey meal! Also, had someone standing behind me the whole meal, watching the game above my head-annoying!
Jim MagillJuly 9, 2013Best stop at MSP. Great food and drinks. Recharging stations, cool ordering interface and video monitors to watch. Great stop!
Kaitlyn BurnsOctober 24, 2013Udon was super tasty!! The iPad menu is pretty snazzy as well. The only down part is having to leave a gratuity before you even meet your sever.
Kate FurmanMay 12, 2015Pork ramen was pretty good for airport ramen. Buy a bottle of water for later because you'll be thirsty.
Mindy AltermattMay 9, 2013It's a bit overpriced, but I enjoyed the outlets and iPads at each table. Helped me kill some time between connections and the waitstaff were all friendly and attentive.
Rachel MercerJanuary 20, 2013While the food is overpriced and the iPad mechanism a bit cumbersome, this is actually some of the better airport food. Loved the potstickers and the crunchy rolls (Tom Collins has a kick too!)
Good ramen in an airport. That is all you need to know.
Melinda JonesAugust 20, 2013iPads were great to kill time. Udon was pretty good and the steamed edamame was filling if you are looking to fill up at a reasonable price. The Maine blueberry cocktail was not great.
R JOctober 3, 2013Outstanding sushi, fast. Special orders accepted (handrolls). Prepare to drop > $50 or more. But it beats run of the mill airport fare.
Miriam KellyAugust 3, 2014Before 9 a.m. they serve great, fresh breakfast (typical things like omelettes, eggs Benedict, etc)
Mike KalenMarch 22, 2015Perfect spot before a flight. Order online. Track your departure. Great food.
Jodi HansellJune 2, 2013Amanda R is so wrong. 1) it's Japanese so, yeah, breakfast elsewhere might be a good idea. 2). The service is fantastic.
BrownSuga (aka:Anita)October 6, 2012Clean, relaxing, nice staff. Great food for an airport. Tokyo style pork ramen i'd give 8 outta 10.
Tiffany RuppJuly 21, 2015Nabeyaki udon. Reminded me of some of the dishes I had in Japan. The only let down was the chicken. The texture was like rubber. Had to toss. Other then that it was good.
Mary CoonsDecember 26, 2012Sushi is ok, but DON'T MISS the noodles! This is what their sister restaurant is famous for- my fav is the Nabeyaki Udon, it tastes like a bowl of Japan.
Aaron TiensivuJuly 16, 2016Every time I order here, except once, I order to go and check the box. Every time they bring out dishes and then get mad that I asked for it to go. It is bad enough they ask for the tip when you order
Ryan FOctober 1, 2012Very cool place to have a quick dinner. A Tsingtao and some noodles hit the right spot!
Carlos GonzalezOctober 9, 2012Rainbow roll was good. Plus, the iPad ordering system was pretty cool, and there are electrical outlets at every table!
Jeff PazahanickApril 4, 2013I've really enjoyed the Crunch Roll multiple times... Fantastic quality and flavor...
April HillerJune 3, 2012Can't believe I'm recommending airport sushi, but it ain't half bad! Try the crunch roll and the spicy calamari!
Jesse HouwingOctober 22, 2015Order using the very inpersonal iPad. Staff will fully ignore you till you do.
Jay CavannaMay 2, 2012They use good ingredients and the bar is all top shelf...selection is a bit Minnesotan
Pork Belly Dumplings & Simmered Beef and Onion Udon. FUCK YES.
Bek JDecember 22, 2012Weak ass drinks. Order a doubs. Even if it's on the rocks. Sexy scubes though.
Mark LuchtApril 26, 2013Nabeyaki Udon was really good, but expensive. Service wasn't very personable, but liked the idea of ordering and paying through the iPad on the table.
Jon ChaissonAugust 4, 2016Very let down by the banh mi. Barely anything in it for the high price. $22 for a barely there sandwich and way too many fries.
Sean ScottAugust 10, 2013Loved the alternative dining experience but the food was so-so. My ramen while got and fresh was way too salty
Elizabeth WrightApril 4, 2013Skip the Pad Thai, way too salty and overspiced. Manager just smiled and said, "Andrew Zimmern was here and loved it." Seriously?
James HuntJune 1, 2012All I had to do was look at the food court and I said " I can't eat that crap yet.
