“Every delivery order through here was a breeze. The tuna onigiris are warm, fresh, and slap all the time. The hot spicy tonkatsu ramen is too good to pass on. The gyudon Japanese beef rice was tender and slap. Korean cheese hot dog is close to authentic and worth the price. Chicken nuggets were lowkey mid with no flavor, could be battered a bit more.“
“First time here and will definitely be back! Affordable and the portions are beyond huge and delicious! We had the Hibachi chicken/steak and Hibachi scallops - all cooked to perfection. Not one gristly bit of steak either! There were surprise noodles in there too that we were happy to try ? Friendly service w a smile, even from the chef in the back! Clean and pleasant atmosphere.“
“Wonderful food as always. I can here for either the third or fourth time with my husband and my mother and grandmother. The food is always amazing. This is easily the best hot pot place in all of the Cleveland area, at least out of all the ones I have gone to. The only thing is that the service wasn’t that great today. We had to ask for utensils, plates, bowls, etc. Our server would disappear for 20-30 minutes at a time even though we were the only people there. At one point we had to go up to the front to ask the sushi chef for things because our server was nowhere to be found. The amazing quality of the food more than made up for the subpar service though. We will definitely be back.“
“A completely wonderful experience! My wife and I were exploring the area and decided for a quick bite. Great owners, very friendly and attentive. Food was fast and very fresh. Pork belly was out of this world! Noodles were excellent. Cannot wait to go back.“
“We had a great experience at SASA! The food was delicious and felt very fresh, and the service was very good. One of the better sushi places we've been to in Cleveland and very easy to make reservations online. Definitely planning to come back!“
“This place rocks! Favorite Korean spot I’ve found in Cleveland. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond. It’s small and cozy, which makes the experience feel so personal. Plus, the food was delicious. We tried the seafood pancake which contained various seafood delights, and the hot stone bibibap bowl, which was also amazing with how the rice crisped up. Also, make sure you get the hot tea! Will definitely be coming back soon.“
“I was going to a concert with my companion and I'd read about and been recommended to this place by someone in a Facebook group. I was pretty excited to try what was billed as "Authentic Japanese". Anyone who's familiar with actual Japanese cuisine knows the struggle. The atmosphere was nice, service was great, food was a bit of a miss. They certainly appear to try to be "authentic", and they come close, closer than most any non familiar with Japanese food person would be able to tell, but just not quite. One of my favorite dishes is Agedashi Tofu. I cannot tell you how hard it is to find this dish prepared right. Nearly all of the non Japanese owned or operated "Japanese" restaurants don't come close and many offer what is actually Korean or some other form of "fried tofu", with the Korean version being my least favorite, fried portions of tofu that are very dry and bland, in my experience. This place came close but there were issues. First there were two huge blocks of fried tofu, and it was actually prepared right, but never have I had such large chunks. They're usually several small cubes. They did get the bonito flakes right but I found them not nearly as smokey as they should have been, almost non existently smokey and didn't add to the dish as they should. There was absolutely no greenery, scallions, nothing. The sauce was very almost watery tasting and not very flavorful. Needless to say I was disappointed. Second would be the "giyoza", which was actually the topic of the Facebook group post on someone looking for authentic Japanese prepared giyoza. This place is definitely "not it". The "dumplings" we got were deep fried, in a shell that was thick and powdery tasting to eat. Just not in any way remotely like actual giyoza. The sushi nigiri we ordered was fine, much like any other decent sushi place, so no complaints there. Lastly the Nabeyaki Udon took forever to come out, the tempura to go with it even longer, and the broth was different tasting than expected. At that point we were pretty full, pressed to get to our concert as the wait for our food had set us back. We took the Udon to go but later found the noodles had soaked up all the broth and it was pretty unappetizing. The Yakitori was ok, not the best but not the worst. Lastly, the place is a bit hard to find. The frontage from the street looks like office buildings or something residential and you have to go around that and down a slope to the back bottom of that to get to the actual restaurant and even then we weren't sure we were at the right place until we entered. Overall, while most people will probably enjoy this place, someone who knows Japanese food, may not.“
“It was pretty decent, but some of the dishes left a bit to be desired. Service was fast and polite, and the restaurant itself felt fairly clean. I got the Char Siu, the vegetable spring rolls, the teriyaki wings, and the gyoza. The Ramen dish was definitely the best part, if only just a little plain in flavor. The gyoza and spring rolls were good for appetizers. The teriyaki wings I felt could have been better - something about their texture was off putting - they just felt a little too soft.“
“This is a good Asian Restaurant right there on Coventry Blvd in the trendy Coventry neighborhood. The atmosphere was pleasant and spacious. The service was friendly and polite. They did forget the soup for my take-out order so I had to remind them, which was not a big deal. Overall Everything was good.“
“We just had a fantastic sushi experience at Youngs. Really fresh, well crafted and beautifully presented. The crunchy roll is worth coming back for. Service at the bar was super friendly and efficient. Add a bottle of Sayuri and it was a really perfect lunch date.“
“The food is delicious, but they are missing out on thousands of dollars in profit by being closed between 2pm to 4pm. This is prime time, right after school! I've gone to other restaurants plenty or times due to them being closed during these hours, even though they were my first choice. They probably need to hire more staff to accommodate, so that everyone doesn't have to leave at the same time.“
“Stayed in Cleveland for the night and picked up dinner from here. Food was 8/10. The fried rice was really good; it had a nice moisture and amazing flavor. Definitely better than Panda Express. I also ordered the egg rolls and sweet & sour chicken. These items were also very yummy. For the price, I would say I was exceptionally pleased.“
“This restaurant is the perfect choice for lunch! Their lunch specials are not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. I always try different options from their menu, and each one surprises me with its flavor. The staff is also friendly and welcoming. Overall, this is a place I'll keep coming back to.“
“We visited Otani and sat at the hibachi grill. The miso soup was delicious and our steak entree and chicken entree were also quite tasty and cooked to perfection. As a matter of fact, all of our food was simply delicious. The only criticism I have is that the salad dressing was a bit too sweet for our liking. In addition, I need to say that our waiter and our grill cook/chef were wonderful. We look forward to visiting again.“
“They were handing out samples of the seasme chicken and teriyaki chicken! Both were very tasty so I went for the teriyaki chicken! Food was fresh and hot off the grill. Good price too! I will definitely go there again. I liked this food choice over the other options they had in the food court.“
“I'm from Japan and this is probably the best Japanese food in Cleveland. It's better than Shuhei (2nd best) and everything else in Cleveland isn't real Japanese food/isn't ran by Japanese ppl. Would recommend for the food!“
“So yummy. I've been going here for years and quality never disappoints. Family owned and operated . Everyone's always been so nice too. Home made Asian dressings and yum yum sauce. Price for your portions are also great. I get the steak hibachi meal but all the hibachi and sushi is exceptional. One of my all time favorites.“
“Called in the order. It was ready for me when I went to pick it up 12 minutes later.Parking: Though parking is acceptable stairs down to restaurant are somewhat dangerous. Access to the railing isn't safe for someone who may have difficulty walking without help.“
“The portions are great I was able to eat from it 3x throughout the day. I ordered a chicken hibachi meal BTW, it was HOT and FULL only waited a few minutes for it! The service is fair, sometimes they're busy preparing other orders is all. It is take out ONLY unless you want to awkwardly sit in the few chairs they have without a table where you wait lol. I would definitely eat here again, it isn't my first time but it has been awhile. At first I thought I would be disappointed with the chicken covered in sauce, the sauce is not a teriyaki sweet sauce I expected which was great because i prefer my food NOT to be sweet. The yum yum sauce seemed to be watered down and barely had a taste, other than that I'd go back....worth 10 bucks.“
“Went for lunch. Seated promptly. 5 around a table that held 10. Gave us lots of room. Drinks orders, food choice taken all in less than 5 minutes. Chef prepared meal in front of us. Delicious! Had so much left over, at for supper. We both had the Scallops. Recommend!“
“It's ok to order in person or over the phone or online. Just check your food before you leave out the place. My food was ALWAYS correct!! And good and hot!Dietary restrictions: If you ask for more or less of somythey usually can accommodate ...not sure if a wheelchair can fit thru the door but if so the place is spacious wnoyfor a wheel chair. Thermos handicap parking as well.“
“Wow! I haven't been here since the new owner took over - what a difference! I liked their food before, but omg, every bite I took I found myself telling my husband how amazing the flavor was! Everything is just a little bit "extra". It was "extra" enough that I ran over here to wrote a review before I forgot. Mind you, it costs quite a bit more, so it's but something I could afford on the weekly for my family of 4, but I'll sure be trying to make it here at least once a month“
“If their tasting menu is half as good as their ramen and sushi i sampled, i shall have my mind blown by flavor.Seriously you can tell the chefs care, it's next level authentic Japanese but for some reason in a nondescript restaurant on the side. Also no booze but still gets an A!“
