30 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lakewood

“Best sushi in Cleveland hands down, Jackie and her staff are amazing and never stop impressing me with their food!!!“

“Ginko in Tremont was a very good dining experience, though not quite a phenomenal one.

The cocktails were the highlight from the drink menu. We enjoyed them enough to order multiple rounds throughout the evening, and each one was well-crafted and enjoyable.

For food, we tried several specialty rolls, including the Ginko Roll and Dante Roll. Both were solid, but neither stood out as particularly memorable. The Zeppelin Roll was the pleasant surprise of the night—fresh, flavorful, and probably our favorite of the rolls we tried.

We also ordered the Negi Toro based on our server's recommendation, and it was another strong dish. Fresh, rich, and well prepared.

The standout food items were the Oshi Sushi selections. The Toro & Truffle Oshi Sushi was packed with flavor and easily the best thing we ordered. If we were ordering again, this would be an automatic repeat. The Hamachi Oshi Sushi was also excellent, offering a lighter and more refreshing contrast.

The service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, elevating the entire experience.

Overall, Ginko delivered quality food, great cocktails, and outstanding service. While not every dish wowed us, there were enough highlights to make it a place we'd happily return to.“

“Really good selection of veggie sushi and great price. This is going to be our new regular spot.“

“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.“

“Omizu is the best sushi restaurant in Cleveland! It is our go-to spot! The sushi is always fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Efia is the most genuine and wonderful server 🩷 We always come back in to see her! Perfect for dine-in and take-out! They also have a wonderful wine & cocktail selection.“

“friendly atmosphere great service and the food is excellent“

“Just happened to be visiting in Parma Heights and always driven by without stopping in. So in the mood for Asian and passed up other Chinese restaurants decided to give this a try. On the phone they’re friendly and even in person. So I decided to get Hibachi steak and the flavor was very delicious. I was surprised that it exceeded my expectations of just the normal Chinese food. I was wrong and wished I visited sooner. I definitely will go back for Spicy Beef ?️ ? ? Soup. I only got one photo but will add soon. Definitely recommend.“

“Had dinner after the game quick courteous service and excellent food“

“Went to a bday party, this truck provided the food, AMAZING! Highly recommend and the workers are so fun! We appreciated you both!!!!“

“I ordered from here and had my food door dashed to me. The seaweed salad was amazingly tasteful! The hibachi steak is tender and almost melts in your mouth. I absolutely love the food. I will definitely recommend and will most definitely order food from here again. Thank you so much.“

“Been coming here for years and felt like I needed to give them a review. They always greet you as soon as you walk in. Within minutes, water is brought and then they take your drink order. I always order 2 Taro bubble teas. They are the best around. Started off with ordering crab Rangoon and my brother and boys always order edamame. I ordered the dragon roll, Philly roll and spicy tuna. Extra yum yum sauce. They never disappoint and it always is on point. My
boys and brother always order the Hibachi dinners. Their plates were loaded with veggies and their meats and shrimp. I highly recommend this place. It’s affordable, right off the highway and they are extremely friendly.“

“We always stop here anytime we are on our way to the ballgame or hanging out downtown for something. They always give you very generous portions. For $10 you can't beat it. Their vegetables and their sauce are so good. Best value in Tower City for the amount you spend.“

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

“Love this place! Outstanding dishes and sushi. The gyoza were perfect and I could eat the chicken fried rice every day if I could. Very good portion sizes as well and terrific service. Had cold sake for the first time and it was a nice change from the usual hot.“

“Great food , good service!!!“

“ambiance was lovely, sushi and drinks were perfection. can't wait to return!“

“We’ve been to Sarku twice in the past two weeks. The food is made fresh, and the service is polite and friendly. I love the chicken teriyaki and the tempura California roll. The vegetables were a little softer than I prefer, but still tasty overall“

“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.“

“I ordered the medium box deal and 2 chicken teriyaki dinners, with extra chicken. I only received 2 out of three items. I have the receipt proving I paid for 3 meals and the store - Brandon wouldn’t make it right. He basically said “oh well”, he trusted his employees, I get that but they are human and make mistakes. Do better next time Brandon, do better!!“

“Absolutely delicious!!!!!! Best place I’ve ever had seafood!!!!! Super friendly and helpful choices are endless food came out super hot and fast wish this was closer to me will definitely come back here again!!! And the prices are good“

“Great food good prices ..“
