This place is a gem, and we're so lucky to have it in downtown Willoughby. The food is so delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the staff are so friendly. Wouldn't change a thing about the experience.

If you’re looking for high quality sushi, this is not the place. But if you’re in the mood for low-grade sushi that only vaguely resembles sushi, then hey you’ve found your spot. We were just passing through Cleveland, saw the 4.6 star reviews, and thought, “What could go wrong?” Well… everything 😅.
Credit where it’s due: the waitress was super sweet and friendly. But the food? Yikes. The tuna looked like it had been defrosted for about three days straight pale, watery, and sad, like it had been soaking in an ice bath until it gave up on life. Almost every roll had cream cheese in it (still not sure who decided that was a good idea), and none of it tasted right.
The udon soup was another adventure noodles clumped together, broken into tiny bits, basically like someone dumped the package straight into hot water and called it a day. And the wasabi? It didn’t just look fake it looked exactly like green PlayDoh.
To be fair, we still ate everything… partly because we were starving, and partly because we hate wasting food. But let’s just say: our stomachs were full, but our souls were not satisfied.

A pretty good sushi place. Not the best and not the worst. Rolls were good, nothing to be mad about. We also got Korean inspired chicken which while, didn't have a true Korean fry, had a very good sauce. The server we had was very nice and food came out pretty fast. The main problem we had was the odd smell the restaurant had. Not sure of it was the cleaner they were using or that mixed with fish smell. We were allowed to choose our table and picked the one that had the least amount of stickiness on it. The tables themselves didn't look dirty, it again, might have been a cleaning product. But unfortunately the odd smell was in the entire restaurant and got more fish as you approached the kitchen. They do have outdoor seating though.

Our waitress was amazing and everyone was so friendly and the environment was wonderful. The food, sadly, ruined everything for me :( i ordered the nigiri plate and my sushi was actually warm and tasted so fishy and not fresh at all. My husband and I felt immediately sick afterwards. Sadly unless they change something with their food we will not be back, $100 down the drain.

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 👍🏼

Young's has some of the best sushi in Ohio! Every roll is hand crafted to perfection, flavors are always fresh and delicious, the service is quick and welcoming; we've never had a bad meal here. If you don't like sushi, try their hot menu items! The wings are to die for! They also have an excellent selection of drinks and sake. Their patio during the warmer season makes a perfect date night as well.
For the most part the food was decent and I enjoyed most of my meal, but one thing caught my attention during my meal. The one type of sashimi on my plate had a distinct rich buttery taste. I ordered the sushi, sashimi and roll plate and I’m about 99 percent sure I was served escolar instead of white tuna. I’ve intentionally tried escolar before and I know exactly how it tastes. Escolar is a cheaper oily deep sea fished that contains a high amount of wax esters that can cause digestive issues because of human’s ability to digest the wax. It has a rich, buttery fishy taste which is very different from white tuna. It’s also banned in some countries because of these health concerns. Many sushi places lie and use escolar instead of white tuna because it’s cheaper and they know that most people won’t find out. On the menu white tuna is listed, not only are they misleading costumers, but they’re putting people at risk by serving this. If you want sushi in the area, I definitely recommend going to Isho Ni or Ninja sushi instead of here. It’s unfortunate because the staff was very friendly on all the 3 of the times I went. Also keep in mind all 3 times I ordered the sushi, sashimi and roll plate and had the same suspicion. Some places like pacific east put escolar on their menu, why can’t they just do that? It’s not white tuna. That’s misleading.
Great sushi in casual atmosphere. All items fresh and well presented. Great service. Don't need a reservation. Try it! Sashimi, Nigiri, rolls, miso soup, all are well made and delicious.

Whether dine-in, take out or 3rd party delivery, Young's Sushi, in my very experienced palate & opinion, has been the BEST SUSHI in the Cleveland area for many years (both prior & current location in Willoughby). Quality, quantity, selection, consistency, price and presentation. My go-to place and recommendation for others. If only I could be able to fulfill my Uni and/or Ume cravings, though (hard to find delicacies; hint, hint). ;) <3
