    Fun dining spot, good for large groups. Love the option to do sushi + Hot Pot + KBBQ if you desire. There is something here for everyone. Most of the sushi rolls were Americanized, but they also have nigiri and sashimi Hot pot options weren't bad either, and they have a make your own sauce bar. Reasonably priced as well!

    Decided to try the newest Kintaro location for lunch and it did not disappoint. It is absolutely stunning how they remodeled the old Corky & Lenny's it still has the character of the old restaurant but with a new flair. I visited for lunch where I ate a plethora of delicious sushi and had steak hibachi which was phenomenal. The service was very quick and efficient and the menu was expensive with very good quality food.

    We had a rather large party and clearly 2 servers were not enough, they got easily overwhelmed. Sushi were average, and hibachi was just standard.

    With the new Kintaro open in Woodmere it seemed like a good time to check it out; located in the space that used to be Corky and Lenny's Kintaro has brought a completely different vibe. The decor is very modern and even a bit futuristic, lots of bright colors, neons and plenty of sparkle. All of the tables are set up with a grill in the middle and individual heaters for the hot pots at each seat. Booth seating seems a bit too far from the table and the leg room is limited by the bottom of the table. This Kintaro offers a choice of AYCE sushi, hot pot or Korean BBQ; I was going to try the BBQ until I noticed that at lunch the protein choices are very limited; for me there were just 3 seafood options. Instead I got the sushi, Kintaro has a paper menu where you make your choices, apps, sushi, and kitchen entrees. I started with miso soup and the calamari, both of which are solid choices. The soup is warm with good flavor, the calamari is breaded and fried with a sweet dipping sauce. Sushi at Kintaro has always been good, I tend to get a nice assortment of Nigiri and a couple of the simpler maki; I do avoid anything with cream cheese or which is deep fried. The nigiri sushi was good, the fish fresh and vibrant, the rice pellets were well sized to not overpower the fish. The maki sushi is well prepared, nicely balanced and attractively served. One thing that I have found at Kintaro is they often miss an item or two from the order sheet, fortunately you can always place an additional order to get what you want. Other than the missed items service was good. I enjoy Kintaro and each location has a slightly different vibe and even some different menus. The Woodmere location is certainly good looking, the sushi was up to snuff we will have to see how they do with the AYCE BBQ; they should take a look at what other Cleveland restaurants are offering to be competitive. If you are looking for some good Japanese/Korean food at reasonable prices Kintaro is well worth checking out.

    Consistent each time I go. Good value for the sit down endless lunch concept and appreciate that they have hand rolls. I tend to go with the sushi and apps over the hibachi. Service is always friendly also

    This was such a fun dining experience at Kintaro in the Woodmere location. We did the $35 AYCE sushi and BBQ combo. For dinner, it's $29.99 if you choose just sushi, BBQ, or hotpot, with an additional $5 if you want to add BBQ. The quality of the sushi and sashimi was great, it wasn't cheap quality like many buffets.The rolls and nigiri were generously sized, fresh, and tasty. If you love sushi, you definitely won't be disappointed. Just make sure you're not too greedy when ordering, because they do charge for any leftovers. For the BBQ, you cook everything yourself. We ordered the Korean-style pork belly, spicy pork belly, prime brisket, and Kintaro's signature short rib. The meats are sliced thin, so if you overcook them, they can dry out pretty quickly. They also give you a large bottle of butter, which we used to cook garlic and oyster mushrooms, and it tasted amazing. They also give you lettuce so you can make ssam, which makes the BBQ experience even better. In the back, there's a BBQ and hotpot sauce station where you can grab sauces and customize everything to your liking. One thing I wished they had at the sauce station was black pepper flakes. I usually make my dipping sauce with salt, sesame oil, and black pepper, and it would've been perfect to pair with the meats. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back once I've fully digested everything. I'm still so full from what I ate!

    The sushi, BBQ and Hotpot are Pawfect. We went there last year. It was à Hannukah for us on Thursday, December 18th, 2025.

    Absolutely delish!!! The food is so good, and they have tons of bubble teas! The hotpot is fun to make and I recommend

    So good! The bubble tea is amazing, and making the hotpot is very fun. Totally recommend.

    This was my first time trying this type of cuisine. The atmosphere is gorgeous. Everyone's so friendly. The staff explained how it works and was patient. My server was awesome. So attentive and courteous. The food was amazing. Great flavors and cooked to perfection. I tried their chicken hibachi, sushi rolls and crab ragoons. I wish my stomach could hold more it was so tasty. Their prices are very reasonable. They do have a fee if you waste food which I understand ,because people will cost you unnecessary money by taking two bites. I highly recommend and I will be back

    The first time we went it was we fine, the hotpot and bbq were poorly explained and there is stuff…read moreon the digital menu that wasn't in the hotpot menu paper. Everything tasted fine, so we just assumed it was a communication issue. So we came back, this time it had a quarter of the menu and the quality took a sharp dive. Pretty amazing since it had been less than a week. Most of the menu was missing, our waiter seemed clueless, nice but clueless. I've never been to a hotpot that didn't have quail eggs all day. All the grill meat came out frozen, the cuts were thin and bad. The green peppers tasted like the blade that cut them, dry and metallic. I don't know that was way too wild a swing in quality we won't be back. We can't win with hotpot in Ohio it seems, for how much hotpot is in the US, I expect better than this. Kpot is still the worst but this last time at Kintaro is up there. Guess I'm looking for another hotpot place. It was clean and organized, the floor is in bad shape in the dining area but other than that it didn't feel dirty or unkempt.

Just a heads up: you can only pick one (hot pot or sushi) and you can only share with people doing the same option, so plan accordingly. We chose hot pot, but the sushi we saw looked gorgeous--super fresh and beautifully presented! For the hot pot, there are tons of yummy options to cook with. Our favorites were the thinly sliced meats, potstickers, fried tofu, and the tempura fish cakes--all super flavorful and perfect for dipping in the broth. You can order as much or as little meat and veggies as you want, which makes it easy to customize. Best broth = Chinese Spices broth (so flavorful with the perfect kick!) Least favorite = Chicken broth (a bit bland, wouldn't get it again) And I have to mention--I absolutely LOVED their fruit tea! I got the passion fruit, mango, and (I think) peach blend, and it was the perfect balance of sweet, refreshing, and fruity. 10/10 drink!

    A small spot in Asiatown that offers great food!…read more I came here for the first time a few weeks ago. The restaurant has modern decor, and you order food via a tablet that's at each table. I'm a certified spice wimp, but I'm not opposed to the occasional spicy Szechuan-style meal as long as it's delicious. However, I wasn't feeling culinarily courageous that day, so I didn't get the titular malatang (I am open to trying it in the future though!). Instead, I got the braised beef noodle soup, and it was delicious. My big bowl came with a generous amount of noodles, bok choy, and a good portion of braised beef. The noodles had a great chew, and the beef was tender. The soup was also wonderful. It was flavorful and reminded me of a pho broth, though not as complex (however, it was just as comforting and great for a chilly day). My noodle soup left me stuffed, especially since I drank up every drop of that tasty broth and slurped up every single noodle. It was also reasonably priced - around $14 or $15. The service was also friendly and quick with water refills.

It's located in Asia town, and there is parking in the back for a few spots. The service is wonderful, you order through a iPad. And the food I don't even know where to begin: we got the cucumber salad, and the scallion pancake(more on this later), I opted for the chili broth, medium spicy with fatty beef and spicy beef (as you can tell, I love my spice!), I also got the peach smoothie. The hot pot comes fully prepared in a giant bowl with all the selections of ingredients that you have selected to the iPad. From the minute, the hot pot bowls hit our table. I knew this was a great place. The broth taste like it's been simmered for a long time! The depth of flavor is just amazing! I wish I had discovered this place in the depths of winter because it truly is a warm hug of hot pot to cure any winter blues-- nonetheless I'll be back!

This meant that I was able to eat the traditional Korean New Year's Soup for good luck, health, and happiness. I had always ordered other soups, but what I love about this place is the consistency of always having the soups come out exactly the same. I stopped by again this New Year, and the gentleman who served us is always focused to ensure everything was aligned and served well. The banchan (side dishes) were always filled when needed. The calm but filled restaurant shows that this is truly a staple in the Parma area, and it was such a pleasant "taste of home" for someone who is half Korean. You know it slaps when the parking lot is filled, and their phones are ringing non-stop. The culture the restaurant brings also invites locals who are trying Korean food for the first time. I truly admire how the place represents that it's owned by hard working people who extend the value of our community.

    This place is an awesome little hole-in-the-wall. It's definitely a staple for the Korean food…read morescene here in Cleveland. The food was really good, though I was a little upset that they didn't have tofu available when I went, even though the online menu said otherwise. Still, everything else hit the spot. I also love that they have photos of the items on the menu--it makes ordering so much easier. It's a great spot for large groups and the service was solid. If you're looking for authentic Korean vibes, this is the place to go.
