I popped in here Sunday night for dinner after feeling a little under the weather and needing some…read moresoup to help get me by. And who doesn't believe a cocktail will help burn the germs out of you? I know I do! The place was relatively quiet (it was like 8pm on a Sunday) so I was able to get seated immediately and my server was active and friendly all evening. After looking at the menu proudly showcasing all the Japanese spirits, I found the cocktail menu disappointingly Caribbean/tiki heavy (which I don't ordinarily mind being a rum drinker, but some drinks to match the cuisine or at least use those Japanese whiskeys and things more would have been amazing!). I opted for a New Fashioned cocktail to try and sample some of said spirit. While not bad, I found it pretty orange-y (who puts all those orange chunks into such a beverage?) and the spirit to be pretty mild in flavor (I'd like to think my taste buds weren't affected by my sickness). For dinner, I went for the miso ramen with pork chashu. Having not had proper ramen too many times in my life (those $.99 packets from the grocery store do NOT count), I've got relatively little to compare my experience to here. However, I will resoundingly say I was very happy with the food. The pork could be picked up and apart with chop sticks easily enough and was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The noodles and the flavors were just all sooooo good. I'm not a big mushroom fan at all, but I was happy to find they were cut razor thin and actually highly enjoyable. All in all, the drink menu needs an overhaul. Why have all those great Japanese spirits and then do a 180 with the cocktail menu? Makes no sense! Almost makes me want to bump down to 4 stars... but man, the food is just too good.

We got a couple appetizers to try and a couple ramen dishes to try. The Karaage was okay, the breading wasn't special and the flavor of the nuggets and sauce were a bit underwhelming. The gyoza was disappointing and lacked flavor. The TanTan Mazemen was good but it could have used some extra toppings to help the dish, such as corn, mushrooms, or something to balance the savory flavor. The sauce was pretty good but the ratio to ramen noodles was way too much sauce. We asked for an extra bowl of plain noodles but got a bowl of noodles and sauce. The Spicy Miso was pretty good and flavorful, it had decent toppings and spice. It was a solid basic miso broth and pretty good. Overall, the food was good but there was something missing from each dish and it was a bit pricey for the individual dishes. Staff was nice but seemed somewhat rushed when we were trying to order and throughout our meal. Overall, they were very attentive and would clean off our table every time they stopped by. We felt like we had to finish our dish because they wanted to grab the empty dish. Overall, it was a decent experience. I was a bit disappointed in the food but would try other dishes if I'm in the area. Staff was nice and service was good!

The food is delivered by adorable little robots, which was both fun and surprisingly efficient. It definitely adds to the charm and makes the place stand out. Service was smooth, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food came out hot and delicious. This was my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last.

We spent $230 (w/ tip) and it was worth every penny. Probably the best Japanese restaurant in the city. We passed by this place multiple times on our way elsewhere. We're Mario fans, so the name Yoshi caught our eye, but the cramped strip mall exterior doesn't exactly scream culinary dream. We decided to take a chance, and let me just say--wow. It's an intimate space with just a few tables and an 8-10 seat sushi bar. We didn't have reservations (make one, they fill up fast) but managed to snag seats at the bar. The service immediately stood out. We had better attention here than at some upscale steakhouses--glasses never went empty, and their menu suggestions were spot on. One minor heads-up: at the sushi bar, staff sometimes walk behind you to talk to the chefs, which can be a bit distracting. For starters, we grabbed the gyoza and asked for a standout small plate. They pointed us to the beef tongue. It arrived hot with shredded onions and spicy mustard, delivering a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness with a deep, beefy richness. The gyoza was equally flawless. Instead of the overly chewy or burnt wrappers you find at most spots, these had a delicate, golden-brown sear with an intensely savory, garlicky umami filling. We paired this with Sayuri sake, a creamy, unfiltered pour that perfectly balanced sweetness with a dry, clean finish. Since we love nigiri, we ordered a spread: tuna, salmon, smoked salmon, sweet shrimp, and Japanese scallop, plus a salmon/avocado roll. The cuts were impeccably sourced and practically dissolved on the tongue. You rarely find this level of consistency. Just a heads up--they prepare it the traditional way, meaning there is a dab of wasabi tucked directly under the fish. We also tried the Wagyu A-5 roll. It's about as "meat and potatoes" as a roll can get: steak, carrots, asparagus, and rice. The seared Wagyu fat melted instantly, creating a decadent, buttery glaze over the crisp vegetables. It's one of those rare foods that genuinely forces you to pause after each bite. At $40, it was 100% worth it. I can't say enough about this experience. Next time, we're leveling up to the fatty tuna and Wagyu experience on their special menu. That's the exact culinary peak we've been looking for, and incredibly, it's tucked inside a suburban strip mall. Absolutely brilliant.

We went tonight to Mala Hot Pot in Hilliard for the second time. The first time we went was about…read moreone month ago to try their hot pot, a concept my husband, adult daughter and I had heard about but had never tried. We were surprised to discover that despite the name of the place, they no longer served hot pot due to new owners, and they were primarily a dim sum restaurant now. As we happen to like dim sum, we were not deterred and sat down to have one of the more enjoyable dining experiences we've had in quite a while. The menu was quite extensive and contained pictures and short descriptions of each dim sum. There were also a very few entree-type items to choose from, as well as noodles. Be warned that rice is not provided with these entrees, so if you want some you need to order and pay for it as a side. Nevertheless we thought each item we ordered was delicious, from the egg custard to the sesame lotus balls, to the dumplings, as well as the Dan-Dan noodles, the Ma-Po tofu, and the Szechwan chicken. Since everything is a la carte, the restaurant can be a little expensive, based on your appetite and number of people in your group, but we declared it one of our new favorite Asian restaurants. What a difference a month makes... We returned for our second visit, only to find that the restaurant was now a hot pot place again! We were handed a menu that contained the hot pot information, and at least still had an abbreviated list of dim sum appetizers, though some of the ones we had enjoyed on our first visit were gone. They also had a one page sheet labeled "old-fashioned menu" that listed some odd dishes, not odd as in authentic Chinese dishes but just dishes we'd never heard of on a Chinese menu, like salmon filet and flank steak, but also one recognizable listing for kung Pao chicken. Just weird. So we ordered sesame lotus balls, barbecue pork buns, noodles and the Ma-Po tofu again, all good but we missed the expanded dim sum menu from our first visit. Frankly, this place seems very confused as to its identity and we wonder what it will be serving if we chanced a third visit. If we decided we wanted to try hot pot, would they have dropped it again? Will they totally have stopped serving any dim sum next time? Will all Chinese entrees be gone also? I don't think we want to be that adventurous. We'd rather have some idea what style of cuisine we're going to have before we walk in the door of a restaurant. Sorry, Mala Hot Pot. It was a promising start but a sad and abrupt ending.
