Decent but disappointing. Ordered ramen, the chicken teriyaki bowl, and potstickers for delivery via DoorDash; it took some... time (about 5 minutes) for our order to even be confirmed but the food arrived warm, well-packaged, and as expected after that.I understand miso is pretty simple flavor-wise, but the broth of the miso chicken ramen was very lacking in flavor, almost likeplain water, and neither soy sauce nor chili oil made it much better. I found myself wishing it had come with more chicken. Iwouldn?t order it again it was so bland. In comparison though, the spicy pork ramen had much more depth of flavor. It hadrichness but still seemed a bit watery. The chicken teriyaki bowl came with raw broccoli, not cooked as I was expecting and itcame with an overly spicy sauce that I didn't think went well with the bowl. I?m glad I ordered the vegetable potstickersbecause those were a saving grace, but even those didn?t quite hit the spot. For how much money I spent, I found the food wasdecidedly not worth it. I hate to leave negative reviews, but I don?t think my experience with Sotarol deserves more than 2stars. The ramen is passing but you?ll be disappointed if you?ve had better ramen at restaurants that are dedicated toit. Sotarol?s specialty is their sushi burritos and poke bowls which admittedly I did not order so I can?t factor them into myreview. However, I?m against sushi burritos as a concept since they clash with the importance of balance that characterizessushi, and I just find they are too excessive and not really appetizing. Just my opinion. In general, my impression of thisplace is that it?s an Americanized money grab that meets the bar of ?good,? but not "great." I think you?re better off dining ata dedicated Japanese restaurant (e.g Ramen Kazama, Tenka Ramen, Ichiddo, Zen Box, Gyu-Kaku), especially if you want somethingheartier that doesn't give off the sense of mass produced and convenient like it does at Sotarol, which feels like it's Read more

I like how they tried to get as close to the bowl that I had at another restaurants similar to theirs and they were patient me... as I explained the bowl. The service was really quick as well too. Read more

I ordered through Uber eats and enjoyed my meal. I ordered a bowl and sushi roll that tasted great! The variety in their menu... and quick delivery times were the cherry on top Read more

This is a Poké Bowl Review: I had the Mexican Poké Bowl Portions were good... But oof, it was the mashed/grinded tuna & it... was gritty and almost crunchy. I would never return after seeing/eating this and knowing I could get a better & cheaper bowl atJJ's Poke or The Cove or more or less any other place I've been in MPLS. I'm no poké connissieur but I just believe that wasterrible. My roommate likes the sushi here tho, but this poké experience turned me off quite a bit. Read more

The food was prepared quickly and carefully. It's not the best sushi I've had, but it's also the first time I've had it in... burrito form! And in fairness, you don't have to be the best to be good. I'd order it again when I'm in the mood for more fastcasual sushi, which is what they're going for, so mission accomplished. Read more

I usually order from here twice a week from door dash but today I came into order my usual spicy tuna sushi burrito. It is so... good and cheap for the amount you receive! I find myself craving this quite often and it most definetly beats a greasyhamburger. Great ambiance and customer service as well! Read more

Decent prices, which means this is more of a place you stop for a quick bite to eat. Some interesting rolls...I recommend the... bagel roll. The potstickers were pretty good, but I didn't like the dipping sauce. One big plus: there are plenty of other foodoptions for your friends who don't like sushi. Plus, you can't beat the location.

Great place! I love sushi burritos and the vibe. The only thing that was annoying is the AC wasn?t working and the guy told me... to sit in the other place it was attached to. All of those workers were staring at me so I just sat outside. Read more
