Jak Handroll Bar — Restaurant in Duluth

My fiancee and I loved their sister omakase restaurant, Jak Omakase, so we had to try the handroll omakase for their grand opening. Chef Jeff (spelling?) and the rest of the staff were very accomodating and the rooftop view gave it an extra nice vibe on a clear day. We had the 5-course handroll omakase for lunch and it was $38 per person. We had the spicy tuna, salmon, spicy scallop, blue crab, and toro with caviar (my favorite). He was very generous with the portion and did well presenting each piece for us. If you want to get extra handrolls, you can request at the end of the course. We were given some miso soup to finish off which was great on a cold day like today. For the price, this was very worth it (which is sad to say, very rare these days when it comes to food being so overpriced nowadays). Would definitely come back when their patio is finished and planning on trying the other two sister restaurants, hoo izakaya and gu thai, which are right below...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I walked into this spot as a lifelong “no thanks” to sushi and walked out a true believer. I was going so I could have my friend experience a different sushi experice since they what she enjoys. The only requirement? Say yes to the Signature Course five hand-rolls personally crafted by the chef. Each roll arrived one at a time, perfectly timed so the nori stayed crisp and the fillings were melt-in-your-mouth fresh.

Roll one eased me in with buttery toro and warm, seasoned rice. By roll three which was blue crab, I caught myself grinning between bites. The grand finale, a uni-topped masterpiece, was so balanced that I forgot every reason I ever gave for avoiding sushi.

Beyond the food, the staff made me feel like a regular, explaining every ingredient without a hint of pretension. The chef even checked in to make sure I was enjoying the journey.

If you think sushi “isn’t your thing,” trust me: commit to the Signature Course and prepare to...
