9 Best Sushi Bars near Mentor On The Lake

“An unassuming exterior hides a sleek and modern interior. Smiles from employees. Food was fantastic and we couldn't have been happier.“

“I do carry out and the food is fantastic. I love the shrimp lo me in. You get large portions and the food is always hot when picked up.“

“I was in town on business and found this gem just searching around online. Right off the bat the lady on the phone was super friendly. Very accommodating on a couple or requests as well. The food itself was top notch and extremely fresh and great flavors (two rainbow rolls, one with shrimp on top instead). Highly recommend 👍🏼“

“Today it was chilly and rainy. I got off work early and had been thinking about trying ramen here for days. I sat at the sushi counter with my book and my sweater. I ordered the Kiiro (yellow) ramen. Let me tell you, this was a nice warm hug in a bowl and everything I was hoping for. Calvin was a lovely man making sushi behind the counter. He was very amiable and easy to chat with. I work close by and will definitely be back. I cant wait to try the Kuro (black) ramen. Calvin if you see this I was reading Ravensong, part 2 of the Green Creek series. Enjoy!“

“The best Sushi I have ever had!!! My kids and I absolutly love it there! The owner is so sweet and remembers what sushi my son gets! The best service and food!! Highly recommend! We go at least 2/3 times a month! Ran into the owners at Sam’s club and was soo pleased to see all they had was fresh fruit and veggie!!! no frozen! There veggies are so crisp being fresh!!“

“My family and I LOVE Maki. Their food is always fresh, and delicious. I haven't found my favorite dish YET. Too many to choose from. I love their Beef Pho, and Yakisoba. My husband enjoys ALL of their specialty sushi. Their waitresses are always kind, and attentive. My husband is always thirsty, and never has an empty cup. The main man...sushi preparer is amazing! Always delivers a beautiful dish! Out of all the restaurants we frequent in Lake County....Maki is always consistent with their food quality and service.“

“Have only been there 3 times, I have barely scratched the surface of what they have to offer, but what I have seen is top notch, and the real kicker is being allowed to put your fresh ground peanut butter into your own container if you wish, for those looking to get away from plastic, that's a win.“

“My wife and I felt like trying something new, so we opted for Sumoboy. The clear soup was flavorful. The chicken katsu i ordered was crispy and saucy. My wife enjoyed her bento box but thought there was a bit too much teryaki sauce, and some of the chicken chunks were a little tough. We were the only ones in the restaurant the entire time, so hopefully it was just an off time for them.“

“I was surprised that Ballantine did not have a better star rating. We are passing through. Most well rated Willoughby restaurants were very full. Ballantine is a large place, lots of wood, with some crannies, one being in the back with a mantle and gas lighted fireplace. In live music before it switches to current sports. Special dinner: Clams which were very fresh, clam chowder with fresh vegetables, and a huge hamburger with greens. All good. Staff people were super friendly and helpful. A beautiful lighted outdoors with floor to ceiling glass. Couldn't have been any better. Thank you, Ballantine.“
