CRAVE Food & Drink Woodbury

Stopped in for dinner between seeing movies at the Alamo. I was craving sushi and we had a great experience at the Minneapolis location. This location is pretty big! Very open and nicely decorated. Our server was very nice, but a bit slow. My main complaint is that after we got our sushi we didn’t get any soy sauce or chopsticks and had to wait a while before we could ask to get some so we could eat our meal. The tuna crispy rice was ok, a bit too much tuna and I could have done with more mayo or another sauce. Very crispy though! The milk bread is fantastic. That was the best thing I had. My husband liked his drink and said his sushi rolls were pretty good. I liked my Godzilla roll. Very tasty.

We ate around 6 pm on a Sunday. Not too full but a little busy. A bit loud but could still hear. Service was great. Hostess was super polite, our waiter was lovely and helpful. Great guy. We got wild rice soup and the stuffed pasta and a blueberry mint mocktail. The soup was good, had some spice I'm not used to I'm it... It was a weird combo with the mint in the mocktail. The mocktail was great, just a little sweet and sour, though the mint was very heavy. I liked that but my husband thought too much mint. THE PASTA omg... Okay beware it's a ride but spicy. But the sauce was sooo good. However the best part is the cheese stuffed noodles. Perfectly toasted with a little bit of crunch and savory soft cheese omg sooo good. Overall it was a good relaxing time and a great date experience.

Reservations made only 15b minutes late which they were busy. Service slow.. drinks came out 10 minutes after appetizer were brought us. Ordered at the same time. Ordered steak dinners. One medium can't out medium rare, one medium rare came out medium with wrong side dishes. Main course came out over 45 minutes from when we ordered. Steaks came out and couldn't even eat....took both home for dogs. Passed on their free offer for desert and had dq and was the best part of the evening. Will not be returning Our bill was $137 for the worse food we didn't even eat

We ordered meatballs (which were delicious!) , a spicy tuna roll (also really good) , and chicken stir fry. The *chicken* stir fry, they forgot the chicken. Not sure how you mess that up. That's the only reason I have 4 stars. Drinks were good, I had the dragon martini ($16). I would go there again, but make sure you check your order.

Unfortunately, we left the restaurant after approximately 5 minutes during our visit on January 18, 2026. Upon entering, there was a strong and very unpleasant odor throughout the space, and we also noticed fruit flies present in the dining area. Given these conditions, we did not feel comfortable staying or ordering food. Cleanliness is extremely important when dining out, and this experience was disappointing. We hope management addresses these issues moving forward.

Once seated, we were welcomed with hot lemon towels to cleanse our hands. I ordered the Filet and my partner ordered the Grilled Lamb Chops. Both were cooked to exactly as we requested—medium rare. The filet came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The lamb chops came with cauliflower puree, tomato relish and basil pesto. I ordered a Bloody Mary and my partner ordered a NA Stella. We topped the meal off with a very large slice of decadent chocolate cake!!!! It was a slice of heaven. I took a point off of the service because even though we had reservations, we waited for 10 minutes to be seated. The restaurant was packed and our server was very busy, but, was polite. Overall, it was a good meal.

We got the sushi specials... Didn't enjoy at all. Especially knowing there's an all-you-can-eat sushi right down the street that has better quality food. I thought because Crave was more expensive the sushi would be out of this world. It was mostly rice. I will take a picture and post it here of our shrimp tempura sushi. Inferior to the local competition by far. Not just the all you can eat place, but every place I know in the twin cities has higher quality sushi than my experience on this visit. They also don't have yum yum sauce which I didn't know until after they brought the sushi. If they're going to advertise as sushi, they should probably have the things that go with it... $100 spent on the sale. Not a fan of Crave sushi nor was my guest. The sushis were really little and didn't taste fresh.
