    Bento C, Chicken/vegetable Soba noodle lunch
    Carl W.

    I came here for lunch while the Cleve. Hts location is being renovated. I immediately noticed the menu is different and abridged. I asked the waitress about it and she claims it's a totally "different company", "different owner". Not sure if that is true or whether it was just a misunderstanding. Regardless, I had the Sashimi Bento box. Everything was excellent. It did not have my favorite though...smoked tuna. The Soba noodles I ordered for my daughter was OK, cooked fresh--you could tell--but had the predominant flavor of asian 5 spice which was kind of odd. I added some soysauce to it and my daughter loved it. Overall, a nice place although I miss the other menu items of Cleveland Hts Pacific East.

    Although the restaurant is small, the food is fresh and delicious and the staff is wonderful! Everyone was extremely attentive and friendly, they even offered sushi recommendations. They have a variety of rolls that they make fresh and all of the ingredients were great, but could have had a more expansive menu. Definitely a great lunch spot, we will be back!

    I'm from Los Angeles and pride myself on having a good taste for fresh fish. I was told to try this chain and have only visited the Chagrin location but was immediately hooked! Fish was fresh and rolls were YUM! The nigiri was sort of hit and miss, but I understand this is not a coastal city and that means they don't have the luxuries a city in CA might have. I ordered the Bomb roll several times and it never failed. The Empire roll is also amazing if you like spicy tuna (also somewhat inconsistent w freshness but overall really GOOD!) I don't know why the reviews are so low. On one occasion I went with a group of coworkers, the service was fairly slow, but it looked like there was only one server. We were very understanding and still very pleased with the experience. Times are tough right now and this is a business that deserves some appreciation.

    We travel all over the country and eat sushi frequently (especially on the west coast) so I have become a bit of a sushi snob--sorry, not sorry! I have had amazing sushi in Cleveland frequently. We ordered 4 rolls and the basic Philadelphia was my favorite. The fantastic tempura roll would have been good without the tablespoon of "special" sauce on top. We chose eel as our fish. --the sauce was sweet and would be good if drizzled. Reminded me of a dollop of sour cream on a potato! The empire roll was OK, it also had too much sauce though and felt like something was missing from the filling for flavor combo. The bomb roll was not bomb. The cucumber was incredibly over powering, this would have been delicious in a traditional wrap. Oh and the calamari was completely over cooked ‍ The service was good, she was very nice. Unfortunately for a $75 dinner, we won't be back.

    Sashimi pieces have gotten soooooo much smaller.

    This place is just SSSSOOOOO bad nowadays. Based off of the texture of the sashimi escalor, it has clearly been frozen and thawed and frozen again. Maybe then blanched also? So mushy, I immediately gagged it out. I keep saying to not go. Maybe my family will finally listen to me. And even worse, how are they gunna fix this? Offer a credit..? So I can eat more mushy fish? NO THANK YOU.

    I love the food and service here! The waiters were very nice towards the customers. They provide great service and I had to leave them a great tip. My favorite food was definitely the crazy tuna roll. It was so fresh and I would definitely recommend others to try it. Overall, I'm satisfied and would definitely come back.

    We have never been to this place & thought we would just do takeout. What a mistake. I should have…read moreknown when the online menu had no prices. I should have known when, while on the phone placing our order, I asked if she would include a Takeout Menu to our bag & she said they don't offer that. She suggested I can always look at the online menu.....you know, the online menu with no prices. The seafood entrees clearly state on the menu that they come with soup, salad, vegetables & rice. There were no salads in our bag. Our teriyaki shrimp was in a sauce the consistency of water. We were told pickup in 25 minutes but it was not ready until 50 minutes after our call & there were only 4 occupied booths. We ordered shumai, shrimp teriyaki & shrimp tempura. It came to $56. I should have known. Now I do.

    We have been looking for a decent Asian restaurant since moving to the area. I know we are spoiled…read morecoming from the West Coast. However, Shinano Japanese restaurant was a very nice surprise. For an appetizer we tried the hamachi nigiri, which did not disappoint. For entrees we had shoyu ramen and chicken tempura curry. The broth of the ramen was authentic and warmed our bellies. The curry (I ordered medium spicy) was delicious and mouth watering. While they do not serve alcohol, you are welcome to BYOB, which I prefer since restaurants don't always offer the type of alcohol I like and it takes me forever to decide! The Cab that we brought paired nicely with our meal. If you get there before 6 pm and want alcohol, Miles Market is next door. Also the Shell gas station sells beer and wine. The restaurant is family owned and operated. Very knowledgeable and if you're like us and know your Japanese food, they have a Japanese menu! We will definitely be back to sample some of their other dishes!

    Just tried Yami Express in Lyndhurst and it's a great new hidden gem for Chinese-Japanese fusion…read more They've got a fun, creative menu with all kinds of sushi--including sushi burritos and even sushi tacos--which you don't see everywhere. If you're in the mood for something more classic, their bento boxes and combo deals are a solid value. You can build your own with 1-4 entrées, rice or lo mein, and a drink--pricing ranges around $8-$15 depending on how many items you choose, which is hard to beat. Everything tasted really fresh, and you can tell there's a high turnover. We did have to wait a bit, but honestly appreciated it knowing the food was being made fresh. The vibe is casual and easy--perfect for takeout, but there's dine-in seating too. Bonus: they even have a Japanese claw machine inside, which adds a fun touch. Overall, think of it as a "nicer Panda Express" with more variety and creativity. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

    I was disappointed. To be clear, the restaurant was mostly clean (someone lost some fake hair kind…read moreof accessory on the floor in the dining room), and the counter service was pleasant. But this place gets great reviews, I went in there hungry, and I couldn't bring myself to finish my food. I got the lo mein, the pineapple chicken, and the coconut shrimp. The portion sizes were roughly comparable to Panda Express, or maybe a bit smaller. The prices were roughly comparable as well, maybe a bit smaller there too. The noodles were overcooked, the chicken had a different texture than any chicken I'd ever had before (not necessarily bad, but definitely different), and the coconut shrimp, which I was most excited about, was just bad. I probably ate the most of the chicken, but I only ate about a third of the food on my plate. Maybe I hit them on a bad night. The reviews would seem to indicate that that was the case, but my wife would give a similar review to mine, so it's not just me... at least on that night.
