“Can't say enough how amazing the sushi is.. and the service is very friendly! Super comfortable spot that I'll be going back to again!My boyfriend and I got the Titanic Boat. Thick pieces of sashimi, any three rolls of the menu and a bunch of lovely nigiri. Worth. Every. Cent.“
“We got the steak,chicken,shrimp hibachi and crab Rangoon. Everything was good! It's great as a quick meal when you don't want to cook !Kid-friendliness: My children loved going there because while we waited for our food we went and enrolled them to the music school next door B2B“
“We ordered the gyoza dumplings, harumaki rolls, the hibachi Filet Mignon and shrimp with fried rice·Everything we got was delicious. The spring’s rolls were delicious. The dumplings were delicious and dipped in Gyoza sauce.I got the hibachi Fillet Mignon & shrimp . It came with a yum yum sauce & ginger sauce. I enjoyed dunking my food in the sauces. The fried rice was fresh and flavorful.. not too much soy sauce.“

“Great authentic Korean food! The owner is so nice and attentive. And she'll will let you do as much karaoke as your heart desires! Went here for dinner with some friends and ended up hanging out drinking beers and doing karaoke for hours. Definitely a hidden gem of Columbus.“
“Girls night with a party of 20! I recommended Song LAN, we had so much fun! The food is amazing, management is amazing, and Emma is an amazing server. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. I highly recommend. I ordered the Lychee martini, salmon skin salad, and the threes company sushi roll.“
“Drove up from Dayton to check this spot out, as my husband and I love trying new foods. This did not disappoint! Those KFC wings were the best wings I've ever had. I would buy the sauce!! ? My husband thought the cheese ramen was okay- would try a different one next time, but all my food was delicious.“
“The cashier was patient as we looked over menu and ordered. The food was ready in a timely manner and packaged well for carry out. Good portions for the food too! It was the most colorful hibachi entree I have had, with the most variety of veggies than the few other places I have tried. And it came with some noodles and soup!!! We will be going back!“
“Think you have to go to California for authentic Japanese? While Akai Hana has "Americanized" sushi etc on the menu, they also do excellent sashimi dishes and tempura as good as anyone. Sure, I'd love to be enjoying this in Kyoto or at the fish market in Hakodate, but to find this level of quality on the eastern fringes of the American Midwest? Akai Hana scores big. Great staff at the sashimi counter, so definitely try to get a seat there.Low carb? Keto? Carnivore? Paleo? Akai Hana has choices and choices to suit your personal nutritional style!!Dietary restrictions: Low carb friendlyKeto friendlyCarnivore friendlyPaleo friendlyParking: Parking available on both sides - the Japanese market side and the Kenny Center side.“
“It doesn't seem to be run by Japanese people, but the quality is high and the customer service is good.There is "Kura Sushi" nearby, but if you can't get in there because it's crowded, you might want to stop by here.・Tekka rolled seaweed is good・Fried oysters are delicious・The freshness of the fish is well controlled.・About $80-100 including tip for 2 people5-level rating (North American standards)Taste: 4Cheapness: 5Customer service: 5Atmosphere: 4“
“If you're craving some good comfort, flavorful, and delicious food! There's plenty of parking and some seating inside but most people seem to take food to go.Get the dinner house combo, you get so much! You get shrimp, beef, chicken, two veggie sides, and 2 sauces. Their other combos are good as well, you can't go wrong. Their ginger sauce is a really good balance to the buttery hardy entree and their spicy yum yum is good as well. One dinner entree order lasts me two meals and only for $17. The food is good, fresh, and flavorful.I also like getting their wings, they usually have their special of $1 wings if you buy a minimum of 5, or the regular 3 wings for $5. And you don't just get the drum or flat, you get both, which is usually getting 10 wings at other places. You're getting 10 wings for $5! I recommend their sriracha honey sauce, it is spicy and sweet, and so good. You can't beat the deal!They also offer lunch all day, so you can get the half size which is more than enough for one meal. They also have sides and appetizers like egg rolls and crab rangoons that you can get.I recommend for good food and quick service! They'll treat you really well and take care of you here.“
“The food is extremely good but we went on a Thursday late afternoon and it was a 30 min wait for us to get our food. We didn't mind too much since it was also busy but if you're looking for "fast" food, maybe go earlier in the day. If you're from California the beef onion bowl is the closest thing to the beef bowl from yoshinoya so not only was the food good it was also nostalgic for me.“
“This is hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in Columbus - they have some of the most delectable cuts of fish, their preparation rocks, atmosphere has a super chill vibe. Gary was my server, he was great - ask him for sake recommendations! Favorite menu item is rainbow “
“This was our first visit, but we will be back. The staff were very friendly. The island crab appetizer was delicious. The roll with banana was also delicious and had lots of flavor. Two of the spicy rolls did not have a lot of flavor, but everything was fresh.“
“I have a dairy allergy and they cook my food in the kitchen using oil and no butter. They are very accommodating! The others in our group had theirs cooked on the hibachi grill.Dietary restrictions: If you have a dairy allergy, they will prepare your food in the kitchen.“
“I love Sushiko. I have no idea how many years my family has gone here now. I used to live locally, and I always had take out. Now I live two hours away. This trip is always worth its for the family visit AND the sushi. This last time, I did not even get a picture of all the food. We are already planning our next visit. I love it all.Kid-friendliness: My son and neice and nephew love it.“
“This cute little restaurant ( take out only?) is in the Japan market place. I walked in- the staff was very sweet, and helpful. She helped me choosing the sushi rolls to order. I got two rolls for our dinner. Both the sushi rolls were fresh, tasty and with top ingredients. They took almost 25 minutes to get the stuff ready. I was waiting outside and once done she called me and I picked up. Super easy! I don’t mind waiting even longer if the food is freshly made, with all things fresh inside. Highly recommended!“
“The staff was very busy with to-go orders and customers inside but they still were able to seat us in a reasonable amount of time. The atmosphere of this sit-down restaurant was very relaxing and communal, sharing long tables with other customers. The apps and sushi came out fresh but didn’t overfill, it was a great dinner. Sooooo recommend the lava buns! They are a sweet bun kind of dessert.Vegetarian options: There are many ramen and miso options across the board. For those who are pescatarians, all the sushi rolls had some combo of shrimp, tuna, yellowtail, or other kind of fish. Lots of fresh options that don’t have meat.Parking: I’d estimate 40-50 spots in the back parking lot, and some street parkingKid-friendliness: Kids are totally welcomeWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs can get through the door and there are low tables where wheelchair users can eat with their friends and family“
“I haved lived in San Diego for most of my life and had sushi in the Clairmont Mesa area of SD. Any Asian food, I compare to the restaurants there. This is as delicious as the restaurants there! The food is equisite! I have tried many of their dishes and everyone of them is top knotched! Please give it a try! You won't be disappointed!“
“Lovely setting and an excellent selection of Japanese and Korean dishes. Service was excellent and fast. We enjoyed our experience and highly recommend the Appetizer Platter and the Bulgogi. This is a great place for KDrama fans to come and try the various Korean dishes they see on the shows!“
“Great quality food and affordable price. Quick and friendly service made for an enjoyable experience. The dining room is lacking, feels like a food court. The food is great quality and you can feel good about eating fresh and healthy ingredients. Pictured is the spicy teriyaki bowl, regular size, with white rice and veggies.“
“My boyfriend and I came here yesterday after trying to go to another sushi place and they were booked for the night. We are from out of state and never been here and the staff was so friendly and we even got our drinks for free. The food was delicious and the portions were great. The atmosphere was clean and very cute. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town!“
“This hidden gem is great if you are looking for some Japanese comfort food. I have been coming to Nori Japan for many years, and they have been consistently tasty. It is located in the middle of the mall so the atmosphere isn't that great. They have different plate combinations, with freshly made Teriyaki chicken, shrimp, and beef, as well as some food in well warmers. The portions are always overfilled and hot. For the more frequent customers, they have a punch card with a free meal on the tenth purchase. One warning to note is that they will ask what kind of side you want, without noting a surcharge for certain sides. Recently, they added boba tea and ramen, which I am still waiting to try.“
“Our first visit to Silk Road Asian was truly delightful! The restaurant's inviting ambiance and attentive staff immediately set a positive tone. The menu offered a diverse range of Asian dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. The attention to detail in presentation showcased the chef's dedication to their craft. The portion sizes were generous, providing excellent value for the money. Overall, Silk Road Asian left a lasting impression, and we look forward to returning to explore more of their delicious offerings.“
“We usually order take out, it’s so good! We were pleasantly surprised when we first found this restaurant. We order here several times a month now and it never gets old. It’s fast, great prices, and DELICIOUS!! The staff seems to be friendly and helpful whenever we had questions. :)“
“They close at 9:30, I called at 8:55 to place a carry out order. He said it was too late for him to take a phone order. I apologized and told him I thought they were open until 9:30, he said they were but I could only order inside the store. Food is pretty good.“
“Just in my opinion, this is one of the best food in the mall. The chicken and rice is so delicious. I lretty much come Herr every time we go into the mall because I never have a bad experience. After writing this, I wanna go back for another round of their teriyaki chicke.“
“We have been getting Hibachi from here for over a year now and we can’t recommend it enough! The food is delicious and the portions are huge. 2 people could share one order but we like to save the leftovers for lunch the next day. We typically like to add on broccoli to our order since it usually comes with cabbage. Their food is very fresh and cooked to order and the staff is always so kind & very personable. They can get pretty busy some nights but they always have speedy service and have your order done within about 15 minutes. If you’re looking for good food at a good price then this is the place to go!“
“Our favorite sushi place in Columbus! We eat here every time we're near Polaris. The sushi is very reasonably priced - 1/2 off rolls when you dine in - and always has a ton of flavor. We ordered four specialty rolls (Bruno, Highlander, Picasso, and Moon Rolls), miso soup, crab rangoon, and two cocktails. The bill was $70 before tip. Super reasonable, and we even had leftovers - we'll probably just get three rolls next time. The atmosphere and service were both great. We love this spot and will definitely come back many times in the future.“
“It may be located in an area that's had better days... And the building may have seen better days.. But the food and the staff are the best of any Japanese steakhouse you'll ever have. The owner is incredible, kind and genuine. The salad dressing is one of a kind and the meals are priced better than the competition yet quality wise run circles around any other place. Come here and try it out, you won't regret it.“
“Food is EXCELLENT! ATMOSPHERE IS ABOVE PAR! And John was my cashier. He was more than hospitable, respectful, and courteous! IF YOU HAVE NOT EATEN AT MR HIBACHI CLEVELAND AVE, THEN YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY! I LOVE IT AND IM SURE YOU’LL LOVE IT TOO!??“
“It’s the best Japanese hibachi I’ve had in Columbus. Even better than the one downtown. I love it! Every time I want fresh hibachi I go to this one. The chefs are amazing and so nice and Friendly. They are very talented and entertaining and every time the food is cooked amazing. The waitress are usually very nice and timely. It’s clean and the inside of the resteraunt is very cool it looks like you are outside in Japan.Kid-friendliness: The kids love to see the fire! And laugh every time the little boy pees on the fire haha but it’s just a fake spray bottle with water. They have high chairs and the chefs always make the kids feel special and talk to them and smile with them. It’s very sweet. We love coming here as a family. When my youngest was a baby he was a bit scared of the fire and would cry sometimes. Now that he’s older, he loves it!“
“Our cook was entertaining and the food was delicious, especially the scallops.An interesting side piece was what our cook called Japanese "butter". It was egg yolks and other seasonings mixed together that was fried up on the hibachi grill; it was savory and creamy, perfect to eat with steamed rice.“
“I ordered HC Way’s incredible Orange Chicken with fried rice for my granddaughter while we waited for my sister to come out of her qu*ck chiropractor appointment next door (more on that in another review). We ordered takeout and this 11-year old who has no problem eating adult portions could not finish her food! She offered me a bite and let me tell you..Orange Chicken is not my favorite dish but this was amazing! The chicken pieces hot, tender, juicy, and still crispy under a spicy sweet sauce with just enough heat to know we were still eating orange chicken. It was served with broccoli which was still very green and crisp which paired nicely with the meat and sauce. The fried rice was not what I expected. It did not have much going on in regards to taste. It looked like steamed rice with a bit of egg and vegetables. The entree was so, so delicious I could have eaten it with plain steamed rice, but I’d get the free fried rice for the bit of extra protein and veggies.Even though I looked rough (I was not expecting to get out of the car lol), I was greeted immediately with smiles. The service was great. Our food was already on the warmer, packed and ready to go, and the gentleman behind the counter placed it in my hands despite our cultural differences. It was a very pleasurable experience.I am looking forward to trying more items from their menu!“
“Best sushi i've ever had. I always get the Sashimi or a combination with sashimi. I've gotten both party trays, and only the eel wasn't as good. The sushi literally tastes so fresh and melts in your mouth. Besides this, Akai hana is the only other decent sushi spot in Ohio.“
“Truly the best sushi I have had, Ohio or otherwise. We started with crab rangoon, which were made fresh and extremely good, and the best Philly roll I have had (I order a Philly everywhere I go).We then got several rolls for our main course and EVERY SINGLE ONE was a 12/10. The creativity of the flavor combos was excellent. The rolls including mango were my favorite (I am not a big mango person, I was shocked). The ingredients were all extremely fresh and everything was amazing.Also the service was wonderful! Our server had excellent recommendations, was very attentive, and we learned about how some of the recipes were created.I can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu!“
