10 Best Japanese Restaurants near Painesville

“Our family absolutely loves this place! I can’t say enough good things about it. Sushi, bento box, hibachi… all great! Birthdays, pikachu makes an appearance. But most importantly, management is absolutely wonderful. The owner is always so kind and personable and she goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed and like you are her friend/family. Our kids have been given cute little gifts many times. They really hit the mark with customer service and I appreciate this gem in our community.“

“V good. Definitely worth the drive to parts East“

“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.“

“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.“

“Sarku Japan is mainly known for its location in mall food courts across the country now starting brick and mortar locations. When Sarku disappeared from Great Lakes mall I must say I was saddened. I really miss occasionally eating there and did feel that the food they served there was cost effective and well balanced for around 10 bucks.
Having said that they now have a new location which is open in Mentor serving up there wonderful meals once again.
Keep up the good work!“

“Can I give more than 5 stars? The food was magnificent. Our group ordered a poke bowl which was fresh and colorful. The shrimp tempura burrito was divine and the onigiri was sublime. Staff was friendly and helpful. It's good we don't live closer or we'd be broke!“

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

“Thos place is awesome! This is the best hibachi grill I've been to in years!!! The servings are big and the seafood was very fresh. The shrimp, scallops, and lobster tails are no joke. They're huge! The sushi is also really good. You can't go wrong eating here. We drove all the way from Conneaut, OH to get here and it was worth every mile there and back. My advice, come hungry.“
