“Best sushi in Cleveland? Definitely best sushi I've ever had.The subterranean restaurant tucked between houses is completely unassuming when one first walks in.The focus is on the ingredients: the most extensive list of fish and seafood with great vegetarian sushi options too. There are also fabulous cocktails, and amazing knowledgeable staff with perfect recommendations.We tried raw shrimp which was fabulous, as well as a good selection of fish: snapper, salmon, tuna, eel and more.“

We explored sushi as well as snow, crab legs, and a few other things and nothing disappointed us whatsoever. Highly recommend this location and think everyone will enjoy this as much as we did and I will certainly be coming back.“

“From drinks to steam buns & gyoza was great. Negi hama did not taste fresh and looked like a child made it. Next time I think we'll skip any sushi dishes. Glad we ordered a cheaper option on the menu before we dove in and ended up with expensive sushi that we could not eat.“

“We came here for a little Valentine's day dinner. They had a chef's tasting menu for $100 and a Valentine's day menu for $150, which in retrospect we should've done because we ended up paying $170 for 4 sushi rolls, 2 appetizers and a few (5) cocktails.The sushi and appetizers were good, comparable with other sushi places.The old fashioned drink was really good ?We stayed at the sushi bar, and enjoyed watching Chef Lee and the others craft the sushi in front of us.Parking: If you park at the valet, the E 4th valet, which is $40, once you validate the parking ticket at the restaurant, they give you back $30 and you end up paying $10“

“The food here is, in my opinion, the best food in Ohio. A few years ago I lived closer to Cleveland and would often order delivery from here. I'd always get the Sundubu (soft tofu soup pork). It was my comfort food, it's just so delicious & satisfying. I never got the chance to properly come in though until today. My friend and I found the food amazing. Everyone who works there is very welcoming and nice. Everything tastes like it's cooked with love. It's just really, really good. I couldn't recommend it more. The tteokbokki is the best I've ever had. The rice cakes were quite thick with a satisfying texture. We also got the galbi which was very flavorful and had a yummy grilled taste. Thank you for a great meal! ? - Gabby“

“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.“

“Stopped here for lunch and had a bowl of ramen with a fried chicken cutlet. Food was very good and quite tasty, and was brought out within 5 minutes. The seats are a little bit uncomfortable, and the music can be a bit loud, so this may not be the best place for a business meeting. Outside of that, definitely a good place!“

“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.“

“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.“
