5 Best Japanese Restaurants in Cleveland

“After reading many bad reviews on a new Asian buffet in town, we changed our plans and headed to Kumo for lunch when our daughter was visiting this week. It was a wonderful experience and we were extremely pleased with all aspects, from the immediate and cheerful greeting upon entering to the fast and efficient service and delicious food, this was a perfect lunch choice for our family. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. We have never had such tender chicken and steak at a hibachi restaurant. Our daughter had the bento box and kept commenting on how good everything was from the crispy spring roll to the sushi. She lived in Japan for a while, so she loves quality Asian cuisine. I have ADHD…so I had forgotten how I loved the sparkly tables:). An extra “perk” was that we qualified for the senior lunch special, so not only was our food hit and delicious, but it was at a discount!“

“TakoYaki Japanese Steakhouse is one of the best in town. We love the food and they really put on a show. We highly recommend anybody to go try it out.“

“Highly recommend! I’ve been frustrated by the lack of Asian food I can find that can be made gluten free and was so grateful that they were able to make my meal gluten free and it was still so tasty! Love you guys!!!“

“The service is amazing! Great price, huge proportions and the best server has the whole floor to herself on an Friday night 2/25 and is doing fanTastic. Thank you!!“

“Not sure what everyone is complaining about—the food was fresh and not greasy like most other Chinese buffets. The place was very clean, and the staff were extremely helpful. The selection was huge and everything tasted fresh. It was a bit pricey, but for the variety and quality, I was happy to pay it. It reminded me of how Asian buffets used to be years ago—great quality and well-prepared.“
