I went to Origami last night. I know, I already had sushi this week, why would I need to go again. I just wanted more fish, that's all.
The service was only so-so. For instance my deluxe sushi platter came without wasabi and the server dissapeared for a long time after serving my food.
Everything had a nice fresh taste. It was the first time I had octopus sushi. It was pretty good. I was a little afraid it would be rubbery, but it was suprisingly pleasant. I liked the tuna well enough, although the toro I had for desert wasn't worth the market price of 10.75 for two smallish pieces. The other standout fish was the salmon.
Jeannie, not big on sushi, ate the shrimp tempura, origami wontons, and the crab croquett appetizers. She seemed to like them all well enough.
For the price I expected more. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more sitting at the sushi bar. In the end I'm not raving about Origami. I'm going to try the other sushi restaurants before I go back to Origami, even though I know it's supposed to be the best in the Twin Cities.

When I go out for Sushi, I never order the "platter". You should trust yourself and pick and choose items that you have enjoyed before, maybe check out a special, or some interesting rolls that you have never tried.
What I really wanted was for the sushi chef to pick something really great and prepare it one piece at a time, like they did at http://www.sushiyasuda.com/ earlier in the week.
The deluxe platter wasn't quite what I was hoping for.
As usual you are right.
