Staff Meeting 🍜 is an Asian restaurant at 2819 Nicollet Ave in Minneapolis, Minnesota, inside Eat Street Crossing. It’s a local option for lunch or dinner when you’re in the mood for ramen, dumplings, fried rice, or other flavorful dishes. Guests have highlighted the Classic Tonkotsu, Mom’s Fried Rice, kimchi fried rice, gyoza, short ribs, and wings, alongside the less familiar Oboreta Dango, described by a diner as “Drowned Dumplings.” With a 4.8-star rating from 431 reviews, Staff Meeting has earned strong feedback from many guests, while each visit and each dish naturally comes down to personal taste.

The ramen is a recurring favorite in customer comments. Diners describe the tonkotsu broth as rich, creamy, and flavorful, and mention generous portions of pork chashu. The Classic Tonkotsu is one choice for guests seeking a familiar bowl, while other ramen options have also drawn praise. For something beyond noodles, reviewers recommend trying the dumplings: one guest singled out the Oboreta Dango for its well-cooked texture and a sauce that balanced sweetness with heat. Gyoza, short ribs, Mom’s Fried Rice, kimchi fried rice, chicken, and wings are also among the dishes customers have mentioned. These are useful starting points if you’re deciding what to order, though the menu and availability may change.

Guests describe the restaurant as a smaller place where the food makes a strong impression. Reviews also mention a patio-style terrace dining area that is especially appealing in summer. The chef and owner have been described by a customer as friendly, knowledgeable, and open to feedback, giving that diner a memorable, engaging experience. Another guest noted a wait for food, so it may be helpful to allow time during a busy visit. The setting and menu can suit a casual lunch, dinner with friends, or a meal when you want to share a few different dishes and compare favorites. Parking nearby can be challenging, according to a reviewer, so consider that when planning your trip.
