Lisa Edevold and her dream-team sushi chefs at Tiger Sushi in the Mall of America have opened TigerSushi2 (lovingly called Tiger Twoshi). Located at 2841 Lyndale Avenue in south Minneapolis (612-874-1800), the new spot offers free parking, weekday dinners, and weekend lunches.

Lake St., 612-886-1378), and Midori’s Floating World Café (2629 E. Lake St., 612-721-3011), which moved in early December and is well-known for its Hormel-Hawaiian treat, Spam sushi.
