13 Best Sushi Bars in Cleveland

“Amazing filet Mignon! Do not I repeat DO NOT add sauce as the meat with a pinch of Black Sea salt is amazing just the way it is. I’ve never had a beautifully cooked medium filet stay warm all the way thru the eating experience..Bottomline wow!“

“This was my first time trying Sora and it was amazing! The ambiance is so beautiful and comforting. I felt like I was in a little Japanese garden! Music also set the vibes. Every roll was good and I'd order them all again. Also our server was so sweet & helpful with the menu. Great place for dates or girls night :)“

“Ice or Rice is a cute newer diner in Asia-town. It is very no frills and the food is very good. There was one staff member managing the register and food preparation. She appeared very busy and was doing a great job. My son was thrilled to have found Spam Musubi and even went back the next day with friends. I am not aware of another restaurant serving Spam Musubi in the area. The Japanese pancake was delicious as well and a very plentiful serving. We had no problem finding street parking. The building was very clean and accessible. This establishment is a nice addition to the Asia- town area.“

“Walked in with a party of 3 for dinner on a Tuesday night. There was plenty of space at the bar so we didn't have to wait. Started off with a Hitachino XR beer, and proceeded with some amazing sushi. We ordered a little bit of everything - some standouts included the negitoro handroll, otoro, and unagi. Enjoyed the ambiance of sitting at the bar and getting served immediately by the sushi chef. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area.“

“We had high expectations for this place since it had a 4.7 rating. The food and atmosphere did NOT live up to the rating.We ordered the beef and chicken bibimbap, and we were highly disappointed. The meat portions were chopped in tiny pieces. The beef was scarce and dry. The chicken was also scarce and dry.The only thing really good was the seaweed salad.The prices were a bit high for what you get.The service was fast and decent.There was major work going on, on the outside of the building at the time, so the look of the front of the restaurant was under major construction.“

“This place rocks! Favorite Korean spot I’ve found in Cleveland. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond. It’s small and cozy, which makes the experience feel so personal. Plus, the food was delicious. We tried the seafood pancake which contained various seafood delights, and the hot stone bibibap bowl, which was also amazing with how the rice crisped up. Also, make sure you get the hot tea! Will definitely be coming back soon.“

“Best sushi in the Cleveland area hands down. Ask Lee the sushi chef for recommendations to suit your taste. The seafood is always so fresh and the flavor accouterments are spot on. The fatty tuna is one of my favorites and the soft shell crab was cooked to perfection. Definitely try the mushroom salad with ginger dressing it's so flavorful. Definitely my favorite sushi spot in Cleveland. There is a wide selection of sushi and it's never disappointed yet.“

“Better than many sushi places in Toledo. Roll wise not worth the money. Like instead of the rice inside out. It is the maki small roll for like over $10. But I really love the chirashu. Great price for great portion size and great quality of fish. If I come back, will definitely go for that. And the view and the environment of the restaurant is very chill and relaxing. For those people like to post foodie pictures, definitely is a nice place for Instagram.“

“Issis has been ? since the 90’s - a timeless pizzeria and great sides too! Fast and friendly service as well, I went to school with Issis kids too, who are such nice kidsA great establishment run by even greater people. Highly recommended!“

“I'm from Japan and this is probably the best Japanese food in Cleveland. It's better than Shuhei (2nd best) and everything else in Cleveland isn't real Japanese food/isn't ran by Japanese ppl. Would recommend for the food!“

“This place is great to grab a quick light lunch downtown. They are only open Monday-Friday 11:15am-1:45pm. The service is excellent and quick! While it's just a small location for pick up only, it's inside Key Tower and there's a small area with seats and tables. The sushi is fresh and they give you a decent number of pieces. My go to is the California Roll but I've ventured out lately and I love the Key Tower Roll. I'd definitely suggest giving this place a try if you enjoy sushi. Prices are typical for rolls.“

“The portions are great I was able to eat from it 3x throughout the day. I ordered a chicken hibachi meal BTW, it was HOT and FULL only waited a few minutes for it! The service is fair, sometimes they're busy preparing other orders is all. It is take out ONLY unless you want to awkwardly sit in the few chairs they have without a table where you wait lol. I would definitely eat here again, it isn't my first time but it has been awhile. At first I thought I would be disappointed with the chicken covered in sauce, the sauce is not a teriyaki sweet sauce I expected which was great because i prefer my food NOT to be sweet. The yum yum sauce seemed to be watered down and barely had a taste, other than that I'd go back....worth 10 bucks.“

“Absolutely phenomenal great food great staff. went there for my daughters birthday and they really went the extra mile. Absolutely great experience for all of us. Highly recommend it. The sushi was phenomenal. Best we’ve had in a long time.“
