About this business
Origami is located in the market hotel in the heart of the warehouse district in Downtown Minneapolis. The market hotel, constructed as a two-story building in 1867, originally housed a meat market. When the city made plans to construct the "City Market", John Heinrich, the building's builder and owner, converted the building into a lodging house and named it the "Market Hotel".

Sakura Wins – The resteraunt wasn't what we expected after reading all the great reviews. We were definatly very dissapointed. The atmosphere and service was good. The sushi however pails in comparison to other sushi places such as sakura in downtown St Paul. The prices were very high for the amount and quality of sushi you get. Overall, very dissapointed and will not return.
For the first or second date – This place is very popular, so don't expect to be seated right away. The associated bar upstairs from the restaurant is the perfect place to grab a drink while waiting for your pager to blink. They have a very impressive sake list, and the staff can make reservations. If your there to nosh purely on sushi, ask to be seated at the sushi bar. Seating with the platters might be a little snug. I had no idea you could make your stomach hurt by eating too much.
User review by chefminni – cramped? yes. 30min + wait? yes. Worth it? yes. probably the best the twin cities has to offer for sushi. There are "room" for improvement but their food brings people back.
Small and cramped, I still find myself going back to this backstreet shoebox to get my 'outstanding sushi' fix. Not exactly 'private' or 'romantic', but the sushi bar and close quarters make for some interesting encounters for the unattached. All in all the best sushi I have found in the Twin Cities thus far.
OK food - bad service - bad overall – Host was rude and had an attitude problem (misplaced air of self-importance). Appetizers came about 30 minutes after ordering. Main course came on time but was cold. Food was average--it wasn't bad yet nothing was really memorable either. This restaurant is way too cramped. I would not recommend this restaurant and won't be returning.
too expensive, boring menu – Have anyone ever heard of paying 10% service charge for a TAKE-OUT MENU??? So you take out, but you still have to pay the (unknown) waiter/ress a 10%?!! The food is at most B. In fact, what else do we expect from Japanese food. Tempura, yakiniku, bentos, variety of dons (unagi, katsu etc), udons, ramens, and sushi.......soo boring, these are basically the complete Japanese menu list. So, do Japanese themselves keep eating Tempura on Monday, Udon on Tuesday, Katsu-don on Wednesday .... and cycle i... read more
tooo exspensive – snobby people that waited on us and the drinks were so spendy. the food was ok. if you want really good sushi try Wild Mint in Crystal, they have happy servers and great sushi.
Mixed Experience – Origami has great food compared to Nami, but the service is reprehensible. Our group ordered Origami martinis, which were delicious, but one very obviously did not contain the right proportion of ingredients. Instead of offering to remake the martini, our waitress decided it was a personal insult and slammed things down on our table and treated us rudely for the rest of the night. It's really too bad that staff attitudes were not also altered with the remodeling of the downtown Origami. I won't be back.
MELT IN YOUR MOUTH – If you love sushi this is the place to go. Although they are in the higher price scale, the quality and freshness can't be beat. They have all the regular sushi, but you have to try the tuna tataki appetizer. I've ordered 2 as my dinner entree because it's so good.
