23 Best Japanese Restaurants in Cleveland

“Very accommodating and great food!“

“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.“

“Went with my girlfriend for our anniversary! What an amazing experience all around! Seated at the bar right in front of Chef Jake was such a treat! He had such a calming presence while he worked magic right I front of us! Hannah took such good care of us! My girlfriend and I were blown away! I haven't even mentioned the food! The reputation as the best sushi in Cleveland is more than correct and I'd put Ginko up against the best anywhere! Thank you for a night we'll remember for a long, long time! Hope to come back soon!“

“friendly atmosphere great service and the food is excellent“

“The best noodle house in Cleveland. Ive had many times and will continue eating at this great place.“

“Hands down one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Huge thank you to Chef Dereck for crafting such incredible dishes, and to Barbara for the impeccable service from start to finish.

We were lucky enough to experience the magic of Kyuu-juu during their pop-up at Bad Medicine and it only made us even more excited for their brick-and-mortar home to open.

If you’re thinking about trying one of Cleveland’s newest restaurants, don’t hesitate. Set that date. Make that reservation. Eat, drink, and be merry at what we now consider one of the best spots in The Land!“
