Eat Street


For a culinary tickle, stop on Nicollet Avenue between Grant and 29th Street. Nicknamed “Eat Street,” the Avenue offers dozens and dozens of ways to entertain your palate. You’ll find some of the best Vietnamese and Mexican eateries in town, along with other Asian, Greek, German and American specialties.

Chow Tips

Meet Minneapolis experts weigh in on the best fare and their greatest eating feats on Eat Street:

The Walleye in Basil Sauce and Cranberry Puffs at Azia. Chef Thom Pham is a genius, creating Asian “comfort food” combining traditional Asian ingredients with fresh, native Minnesota products – the result is fantastic, unusual and addictive!
–Beth Satrang, International Account Executive

The best place for an entrée on Eat Street would be Little Tijuana. Some of the best Mexican food around! The portions are more than generous with tons of flavor and spice. The prices are more than reasonable, and the service is better than average. You will feel your money was well spent at Little Tijuana.
–Casey Kluver, Visitor Information Specialist

My husband and I did Ichiban’s all-you-can-eat-sushi for $30 a person. You sit at a sushi bar that has a moat surrounding the sushi prep station. A variety of sushi is prepared and then placed on little “boats” that float around the prep station and you just grab whatever you want as it floats by… until you can’t eat anymore! “Sushi fresh from the ‘boat’!”
-Vangie Johnson, Senior Graphic Designer

At Peninsula Malaysian Cuisine, everything is handmade. If you have been too afraid to try it, this is the place, fresh, extremely authentic. The Mango (Tofu, Chicken, Beef) is dynamite!
