    Very good all you can eat sushi spot. The food is very fresh and delicious. The only reason I took off 1 star was because of the slot service but other than that it's a nice spot where you can have a variety of sushi and other dishes to try.

    Did someone say all you can eat sushi?! I'm not going to lie, I was weary of this place at first thinking the sushi can't be that great if it's all you can eat. But wow, the food here is so good! Not the best sushi I've ever had, but for the price - let's just say I'm a regular now lol. From the outside, it is a bit hard to find and looks a little bit sketchy but I promise it's worth the visit. Don't let the exterior fool you! I've always had speedy service and the waiters are very helpful.

    Been back a couple times since my original review and consistently have good food and great service. Prices have gone up a couple bucks but what hasn't. Also worth noting that on and around holidays they have all day dinner menus/pricing now.

    I cannot believe I hesitated to eat here. This restaurant was recommended by a couple people I know, and I will certainly be going back to add to this review. I want nothing more but to try the entire menu, but alas, shellfish is not my friend. I can only vouch for the fish: the salmon nigiri and sashimi, eel, and squid are absolutely excellent. Since we had the all-you-can-eat, dinner was 25.99 a person or so, but it's well worth it when sushi can really be expensive if you order whole rolls plus sashimi/nigiri during a dinner anyways. The onion soup is absolutely refreshing, the teriyaki chicken is a fantastic addition to any meal, and I am in love with the Dragon Roll. The smoked salmon is my personal favorite, the eel was prepared well, everything was fresh as fresh can be. Our waitress was so sweet, and was always around; the entire restaurant is cleanly, comfortable and pleasant. I really appreciated how considerate they were of my allergy. The only thing I will mention is the strength of the cocktails... I had the Tokyo Tea, and although I appreciated it for its price, it was quite a heavy pour of alcohol. Overall, Kintaro is worth your time. There is so much to try and so little time, I wish my stomach was as big as my eyes!

    Visited Kintaro with my daughter after her volleyball tournament. She loves sushi, so that's what we ordered. We started off with some edamame, which was perfect. The waiter told us the sushi rolls come with four to six pieces of sushi. Judging by that, we both requested three sushi rolls of varying types. A lot of their sushi is the same, but it might have one ingredient that is different. I also requested a Sierra Mist, but when I received it, it tasted like carbonated water. So it was lacking syrup. I notified the waiter and someone adjusted the balance of syrup and carbonation. When I tasted the new glass of Sierra Mist, it had too much sytrup in it, but it was tolerable. After a while, our six sushi rolls were delivered. Instead of six pieces of sushi in each roll, there were eight pieces. They looked very appetizing and they were very tasty. I enjoyed the spicy variants, but I've had better sushi. We weren't able to eat it all, however. So we requested to take what was left to go. Oddly, they charged us extra to take our leftovers home with us. What were they going to do with it, throw it away? I've never heard of that before. It wasn't a buffet. Our sushi was requested from the menu. For $75, I guess I expected more from this visit, but we didn't get more. My daughter said, "Well, we'll just to have to order less next time." And I replied, "There won't be a next time".

    I'm going to be honest, I've read all the reviews about this restaurant because I was really interested in looking for a decent Japanese restaurant that's fairly close to me and I almost didn't go based on some of the low rated reviews I read. What caught me off guard was being charged for food waste and I didn't fully understand until I actually went and got hot pot today. While I finished all my food and didn't waste anything, I understand why there's a charge. So here's the thing people: you can't order a ton of food and then sit there and not eat it because it's a huge waste, know what you're able to eat . It is perfectly valid for you to get charged for wasting a bunch of food if your eyes are bigger than your stomach. That is absolutely a "you" problem. I'm glad I decided to see for myself and go to this establishment. I had a great time for my birthday, 10/10 would go again. The ambience was very nice as well. Bonus: Service was great and accommodating.

    Waitress was very nice. Food tasted great. I didn't like the lighting inside but it wasn't a big deal.

I went for carryout the other night and was so happy I did. The online ordering process was easy and efficient. They said my order would be ready in 15 minutes and when I walked in it was there waiting for me... still hot from the kitchen. The restaurant is small. On the end of a strip center on Euclid Ave in Willoughby. The parking lot was full and several people were standing outside waiting. So, I would say it would be wise to have reservations. The food was extraordinary. I mean it was sensational. If you like Japanese cuisine, this is the place. We tried 5 different items and everything was wonderful. I don't know what took me so long but that won't happen again. I highly recommend this establishment. You must give them a try

(I'm really not kidding--you can find me here an hour after I land at the airport.) The sushi is fantastic and so fresh, the service is friendly, and I love the casual ambiance. I haven't tried the ramen yet (because I'm a big sushi lover) but my friend recommended it too. I'll have to try it next time! Thanks so much to Afu and Alfin who prepared our food. Ineke was our server and she was so nice, too! Can't wait to be back in Cleveland to come again--if you live within driving distance, this is a MUST visit!
