12 Best Sushi Bars near Chagrin Falls

“Great luck! We were able to get a view of the falls without a reservation on Valentine's Day, Trout was fantastic!“

“Wonderful food as always. I can here for either the third or fourth time with my husband and my mother and grandmother. The food is always amazing. This is easily the best hot pot place in all of the Cleveland area, at least out of all the ones I have gone to. The only thing is that the service wasn’t that great today. We had to ask for utensils, plates, bowls, etc. Our server would disappear for 20-30 minutes at a time even though we were the only people there. At one point we had to go up to the front to ask the sushi chef for things because our server was nowhere to be found. The amazing quality of the food more than made up for the subpar service though. We will definitely be back.“

“We ordered an 11 piece assorted sushi/sashimi platter with miso, chicken katsu, and salads. For sushi in NE Ohio, we were solidly impressed. The sushi and sashimi were very fresh and briny and seemed well prepared. Even the ginger salad dressing had good depth of flavor.“

“Tasty Thai Treats! We had a great experience - the food was delicious and as spicy (or not) as you liked. We also enjoyed their thai teas and bubble teas. The service was exceptional, and the owner was as sweet as could be. I would definitely go back!“

“Unexpected JOY in this tiny nondescript spot. They've really responded to the previous reviews and are now serving the freshest, most attentively prepared sushi in Northeast Ohio. Prices are very competitive, making up for the drive out to Macedonia, the less than fancy setting and "minimalist decor"/location... You have to ask for an actual menu if you're not interested in scanning the qr code, but that's literally the only drawback of this dining experience (if you can even call that a drawback). Hubby and I absolutely love that there's no obnoxious music or a television screen on every wall like other sushi spots that distract from the social experience of this perfect sushi lunch. Go. You won't be disappointed.“

“I was going to a concert with my companion and I'd read about and been recommended to this place by someone in a Facebook group. I was pretty excited to try what was billed as "Authentic Japanese". Anyone who's familiar with actual Japanese cuisine knows the struggle. The atmosphere was nice, service was great, food was a bit of a miss. They certainly appear to try to be "authentic", and they come close, closer than most any non familiar with Japanese food person would be able to tell, but just not quite. One of my favorite dishes is Agedashi Tofu. I cannot tell you how hard it is to find this dish prepared right. Nearly all of the non Japanese owned or operated "Japanese" restaurants don't come close and many offer what is actually Korean or some other form of "fried tofu", with the Korean version being my least favorite, fried portions of tofu that are very dry and bland, in my experience. This place came close but there were issues. First there were two huge blocks of fried tofu, and it was actually prepared right, but never have I had such large chunks. They're usually several small cubes. They did get the bonito flakes right but I found them not nearly as smokey as they should have been, almost non existently smokey and didn't add to the dish as they should. There was absolutely no greenery, scallions, nothing. The sauce was very almost watery tasting and not very flavorful. Needless to say I was disappointed. Second would be the "giyoza", which was actually the topic of the Facebook group post on someone looking for authentic Japanese prepared giyoza. This place is definitely "not it". The "dumplings" we got were deep fried, in a shell that was thick and powdery tasting to eat. Just not in any way remotely like actual giyoza. The sushi nigiri we ordered was fine, much like any other decent sushi place, so no complaints there. Lastly the Nabeyaki Udon took forever to come out, the tempura to go with it even longer, and the broth was different tasting than expected. At that point we were pretty full, pressed to get to our concert as the wait for our food had set us back. We took the Udon to go but later found the noodles had soaked up all the broth and it was pretty unappetizing. The Yakitori was ok, not the best but not the worst. Lastly, the place is a bit hard to find. The frontage from the street looks like office buildings or something residential and you have to go around that and down a slope to the back bottom of that to get to the actual restaurant and even then we weren't sure we were at the right place until we entered. Overall, while most people will probably enjoy this place, someone who knows Japanese food, may not.“

“Sushi ? was pretty awesome. It was extremely fresh, thick cut and by far the best I've had in the area. The crab Rangoon was 85% crab meat and delicious. Hibachi chicken and rice was above average and worth it. I'll definitely be back there soon. I'm won over.“

“First time here and we had a wonderful experience. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Mmmmmmm let’s talk about those delicious crab rangoons ?. Mmmm mmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmmm. The ramen was not very good. It lacked in flavor and the noodles were clumpy. The curry was incredible and perfectly spiced. Hope to make it back some day.“

“We always enjoy the pizza!!“

“They have a few tables outside but we always eat in, because my husband likes to sit at the sushi bar ! Friendly staff very good food and reasonable prices! Their Mahi Mahi is very good and tempura if you don’t eat sushi .“

“First time, and this was exceptional. Hidden in the back of Golden Gate Plaza, Otani's is worth the visit. At 7:30 on a Monday night the restaurant had several full tables, and several people were eating at the sushi bar. The walls were decorated with waves, reminiscing of the great artist, Katsushika Hokusai. The manager, Marco, was an excellent waiter and very attentive. Checking into Yelp we ordered an app of Crab Rangoon using the $5 offer. The sushi roll was fresh and good. I ordered my first Ramen Bowl called Shrimp Tempura. A bowl full of ramen, broccoli, scallions, seaweed, and more in a Miso broth was very good. I took half home. On the side were four large Tempura Shrimp. Very nice. Son ordered the Steak & Scallops Hibachi. Salad, Miso soup, rice and vegetables were included. It was delicious. I bragged that we came for my son's birthday, and Marco surprised him with a bowl of ice cream and Tempura Oreos. Oh, my, those Oreos were worth having after the entire meal. Totally recommend. If you want the Habachi experience, make a reservation.“

“We eat here on our way to Cleveland as often as we can. The food is fresh and delicious. The individual flavors of the different vegetables, mushrooms, and meats shine through in all of their dishes so you can appreciate them without being overpowered by a sauce or whatever seasoning the dish calls for. Very well balanced! The service is fast and friendly, with a comfortable atmosphere. We try something different each time we eat here and everything has been delicious. The portions are good and I leave full or with leftovers. For me, many Chinese restaurants fall under the "good but nothing special" category. Imperial Wok delivers at a step above the norm and is certainly a place for great Chinese dining.“
