“It was such a treat to find this place in Cleveland after going to the Cleveland Clinic. We visited Japan from the end of March to beginning of April and it’s hard to find very authentic places. This is the most authentic that we’ve found in Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Wow! Loved it! The person behind the counter was very nice too. My mom and I both had the Shrimp tempura ramen bowl with a few minor modifications. They were absolutely delicious. Super authentic! We had all different kinds of ramen all over Japan and this is definitely on par with what we had there. Such a wonderful surprise! Love the walls being painted to look like a city in Japan! So cute! We’ll definitely be back to try the pork buns, gyoza and onigiri. If you love Japanese food, do yourself a favor and try it. You won’t be sorry.“

“I liked everything but the egg tolls, they were a bit too heavy and grainy for me, but the buckeye roll, the SF rice and the shrimp and chicken with broccoli and vegetables was the freshest Asian cuisine I have had in a very long time. I had stop eating Asin rice for a while because it would be hard after one day, but this rice is creamy and delicious. I would sub the spring rolls in place of the egg rolls, they cost a little more but they taste much better. Get that Buckeye roll for sure!!“

If you're hungry after shopping in Tower City Center Mall, this is definitely a must for lunch or dinner. Everything about Yihi Japan is convenient from its location in the food court to the friendly service and food.“

“I love sushi“

“Hands down the best teriyaki ice ever had, and the fried rice was on point too! Highly recommend, ordered from the Denison location. ❤️❤️❤️“

“The server said their soup broths are all vegan and the tofu vegetable soup appetizer was really tasty. Nothing is marked vegan or vegetarian so you have to ask. The sushi rolls were very good but very basic, no fancy vegan rolls here. I thought the vegetable teriyaki was super oily but my brother said he loved it. Ambience was simple, nice. Service was very slow. Prices very reasonable. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-11“

“One of my favorite places to go for take out on a Friday night! I go here very often as I am a huge fan of hibachi style food but don’t enjoy the sit down part or pricing of other places. This express style Hibachi is hard to beat and the location could not be more perfect by it not being in a crowded mall. Always an excellent experience in here!“

“Chicken and shrimp were over cooked and dry. Also they charge almost 5.00 extra to use a credit card and a 18 tip is added to the end of the bill. They don't tell you so watch out you don't double tip.“
