9 Sakana Sushi & Asian Bistro. The Highland Park sushi spot is in a former KFC building and makes our list as essential. Two New York-based sushi chefs made the move to Minnesota and opened Sakana in Plymouth, this second location in Saint Paul, and two more since in Wayzata and Rogers. The menu offers a variety of sushi options plus daily specials (including a recent roll honoring Prince), lunch deals, and a nice sake and cocktail list.
