When I say Jason’s sushi is made with love, I mean it. It’s not just the way he carefully assembles each roll—it’s in the gleam of excitement in his eyes, the effortless precision of his hands, and the warmth in his smile as he presents his creations. Every bite bursts with perfectly balanced flavors, textures that melt in your mouth, and the kind of freshness that only true sushi mastery can deliver. And trust me—I’ve eaten a lot of sushi.

It was a crisp Friday morning, and our weekly date day had already set the tone for something special. After a peaceful stroll through the lush greenery of the Como Conservatory, our appetites were roaring. We knew sushi was the only answer. But with so many options in the Twin Cities, where would we go? We pulled out our phones, scouring reviews for the best sushi in Minneapolis, when we stumbled upon a place that, despite its modest number of reviews, had nothing but glowing praise.
That’s how we found ourselves stepping into Eat Street Crossing, drawn straight to Hakari Hand Roll Bar, where we were immediately met with the man himself—Jason Yeung. True to form, Jerry struck up a conversation, and Jason, radiating enthusiasm, welcomed us like old friends. With a few expert recommendations, he set to work, transforming simple ingredients into something extraordinary right before our eyes.
The moment we took our first bite, we knew. This wasn’t just sushi—this was an experience.
