14 Best Japanese Restaurants near Mayfield Heights

“Shout out to Fried Rice Hibachi 2 Go catering. We had Hibachi for a grad party this weekend and it was delicious! They were great to work with, very responsive and flexible. I would definitely use them again for catering.“

“Good ramen and sushi spot in Willoughby! Definitely worth a try if you’re in the Cleveland area - especially on a cold day.

The venue is unassuming, located in a strip mall off the side of a road, but man oh man do they serve up a nice bowl of noodles. I ordered the spicy ramen (only option with chili paste) and it was down right delicious. You can tell the restaurant puts time and care into what they do. The broth was bursting with layers of flavor. The noodles had great texture and held up in the soup. The pork belly had a wonderful crispy smokey flavoring going on. It was a perfect trio of earthy, spicy, and rich! It was a colder day when I stopped in and this bowl warmed me up down to the core!

The guests I was dining with ordered a he sushi roll and LOVED it! They said it was probably the best sushi roll they’ve ever had in their lives. Which is pretty high praise given they’re had more sushi than they’d probably care to admit.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and very helpful in the ordering process. The dining room isn’t big but they do have a handful of booths and bar seating along the sushi counter. The booth seating isn’t the most comfortable and the backs tend to lean if you try to press your back against it. Bathroom was clean and fully stocked with soap and paper towels. Always an indicator of a good operation when a restaurant has a clean bathroom area.

Overall, I’d definitely stop back in to try more food when I’m in the area next. I’d highly recommend stopping in and giving it a try if ramen and sushi are your thing! Just be warned this place fills up fast!“

“Very accommodating and great food!“

“The curry flavor was mediocre, will try different one in the future. the staff were especially nice, helpful, and professional. I ordered take out and it was hand delivered to where I was sitting. I had not been there before so a woman showed me how to choose my ingredients. The space is clean but not my kind for staying there for my meal, but that's okay it's great for take out. I think it's a great addition to the neighborhood for healthy fresh food.“

“Pacific East is our very favorite sushi restaurant overall. The quality of the fish is incredible and the food is so authentic. We are so excited that they are reopening soon, we will be in the get some delicious sushi as soon as we can!“

“This was my 1st time trying this restaurant and I am quite impressed with their food, it was absolutely delicious, taste so much better than Benihana and affordable. They gave great portions and I’m returning again today after only a couple of days. I will let others know about this restaurant.“

“This was my first time trying this type of cuisine. The atmosphere is gorgeous. Everyone’s so friendly. The staff explained how it works and was patient. My server was awesome. So attentive and courteous. The food was amazing. Great flavors and cooked to perfection. I tried their chicken hibachi, sushi rolls and crab ragoons. I wish my stomach could hold more it was so tasty. Their prices are very reasonable. They do have a fee if you waste food which I understand ,because people will cost you unnecessary money by taking two bites. I highly recommend and I will be back“

“I have visited 2 times since my last review the food was delicious both times! Please don't listen to these bad reviews of people saying they make their food in the back when you can clearly see them making the chicken right on the grill. There chicken is not all fat it's chicken thighs. Just say that's not your favorite cut of the chicken. Sakura will always be my favorite as I remember it in the mall and every other location that they have! Thank you for your excellent service and a clean environment!“

“The food was delicious! I love that everyone got fried rice (no upcharge for not getting white rice instead) AND noodles. Our chef was extremely entertaining and funny! It was the perfect venue for our party of 12.

On top of everything else, I think this is the first time I've had my steak actually made to order at a hibachi restaurant. Every other hibachi restaurant I've been to asked how I wanted my steak and then cooked it well done anyway...“
