The pricing was also very reasonable for the quality, so overall it felt like great value for the money. The only disappointing part was the service. The server who attended to us did not seem very welcoming or enthusiastic, and the overall attitude felt rather cold. When we asked for extra ginger and sauce, he also seemed somewhat unwilling, which made the experience less comfortable. Overall, the food itself was excellent and definitely worth coming back for, but I do think the service attitude and professionalism of the staff could be improved.

My sister brought me here and said it's the best sushi in the area. I can't say I've tried any…read moreother places; however, it was definitely the best sushi I've had in a long time! I live in Columbus and haven't had the options like CO has. We shared a green papaya salad, and it was delicious! I would eat an entire bowl by myself. Don't forget to tear up the basil - it completes the flavor! We got the Lotus, Lemon, Firecracker, Sesame and Pork Belly sushi rolls. That is the order I would rank the rolls in flavor. It is a shame if anyone uses shoyu (sou sauce) or even wasabi when eating these rolls. The lotus has a rice paper wrap (for those who don't like seaweed) and an aioli on top that was so refreshing and flavorful. The lemon was honestly a very close second - maybe even a tie for first. I don't normally like salmon but it was so fresh and the lemon slice was refreshing and clean!

The owner / chef Ryo takes care in what he's making and shows great pride in his finished product and it tastes great too. He gets fish that other restaurants do not have access to or have chosen not to purchase. I have seen flying fish, jellyfish, fresh Cobia, fresh Spanish mackerel, live clams and scallops and other seafood that you cannot obtain anywhere else. If you are looking for the best sushi in the area, you don't need to go anywhere else. You can go anywhere and buy a California roll but that is really not what I would consider sushi that's like going to Ruth Chris steakhouse and ordering a hot hot dog.

The fact that I'm the only Asian customer at this place says it all…read more I ordered Inakaya Fried Chicken, which is a split bone chicken wing per their menu. I was given chicken nuggets and told they don't have chicken wings... Glad I found their menu online to prove I wasn't crazy. Everything is either overcooked, dry, or super salty. No idea why this place was even packed. Sushi rice was dry. The chicken nugget thing mentioned above was overly dry and salty. Tonkotsu Ramen was overcooked. Either they chose the wrong type of noodle or let it sit forever before serving it. The two slices of meat that came with the ramen was maybe from pork chop meat? Usually it's made with cha shew meat or pork belly. Two super lean and dry slices of meat made the bowl look like a joke. The noodle was salty enough that I don't even want to try the broth. Edamame was okay. Other than the fact that they don't look appetizing, the shell was brownish and many bean pockets (if you know what I was trying to say) were empty, that's probably the best dish on the table. If you want sushi or ramen or anything that's on their menu, do yourself a favor and please try to find it somewhere else.

So, this evening I started with the House Roll. It has tuna, snow crab, and avocado with eel sauce. At first, I was afraid because of the eel sauce, but I decided to take it like a champ! I will say this sushi was delicious. I liked it. It had a nice texture, great taste and good presentation. I also tried the Rainbow Roll. It's a California roll with tuna, salmon and yellow tail with avocado. As for this, it was just okay. I liked all the ingredients, but the taste was not flattering to me. Again, it was okay. Not bad at all, but it isn't one I would purchase for myself again. I also purchased the edamame. I love these, I eat them as a snack:) Overall, great service as usual, prices are reasonable, and the restaurant is clean and well lit. Can't wait to see what sushi roll I try next!!

Ordering one entree isn't being wasteful. You just might not finish it. But anyway, I didn't order an entree. I ordered spring rolls, and a few sushi rolls. The two spring rolls were good. The sushi is so small. Most were really dry. I wouldn't return. But my friend definitely enjoyed herself. The atmosphere is really nice and the establishment was clean.

Well welll well ... yelp family this Alli-G Roll we better than expected lol ... fried to perfection.

I highly recommend ... the food bowl was delivered and I could still se the steam which I loved ... all the veggies were fresh fresh you could taste it. The snapper was amazing also. This spot leaves the extra seasoning up to you ... BUT your table has a bottle of yum yum sauce and you don't have to keep asking. Most importantly they are not stingy on the portions. I had half of my sushi rolls left and half of my bowl. Kudos to the staff also with the recommendations and setting the expectation of the dishes. They also worked as a team ... one waiter didn't see our drinks on the table and immediately asked if we put our order in. This was def worth the 35 min drive from the other side of town be sure to check them out. And another round of applause for the staff. I'll be back SOON .

The fried rice and chicken combo hits exactly the way you want it to: flavorful, slightly indulgent, and satisfying without being overly heavy. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the bar.

The Suishaya Special in particular is strong--not just in a gimmicky way, but balanced enough that you actually enjoy drinking it while still feeling it. Overall, it's a reliable spot for a casual lunch with the added bonus of legit cocktails. Hard to beat that combination.

We stood by the counter for about ten minutes waiting to be seated in a completely empty restaurant. The staff working just kind of looked at us like we were lost.
