"After having had several great experiences at their sister restaurant in Pinecrest, I decided to give this Aurora location a try. The dining room is much larger and the bar is fairly large, but parking is limited and I was forced to park in the pizza shop lot next door. This restaurant has a different feel than its counterpart but not in a bad way. The ambiance is a little less trendy but it is also less noisy and great for larger groups. There were two servers and one bar tender then night we came. Only the bar tender seemed to speak enough English to take our order but the other servers did check on us and try to assist when they could. The menu is exactly try the same as Pinecrest but they also have a huge sushi menu where they give you a marker to check all the rolls you wish to try. We skipped sushi tonight and opted for the Chicken Lettuce Wraps and the Sand Pebbles Pad Thai. Although we waited for about 15 minutes before someone came to take our order, our food came out in about 10 minutes and it was delicious! Both dishes were outstanding. The lettuce wraps are big enough to eat alone as an entree and the pad Thai was enormous. They loaded it with the most light and crispy chicken I've ever tasted - we had enough to take two big pieces home with us. The shrimp on the pad Thai were also large and flavorful. I have been to this restaurant chain 4 times now and have yet to get a bad dish or bad service. I can't say enough about these guys - if you like Asian food (the menu includes Thai, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Singapore, etc) and are looking for good value for your money and a great meal, check out either location. You can't go wrong here."
"I have meen here 3+ time for work related events and each time they have done a tremendous job!!!Even when the party is 30ish people, they get all our drinks and orders in a timely manner and we are never waiting very long for the experience to start!! They do all the fun things... sake contest, catching broccoli in your mouth, onion volcano, ect!! They do even more when it's your birthday (disco ball!!!) I truly recommend the hibatchi dinner (even if you don't go to the show) it's delicious and I truly believe you get more food than other places!!! You get rice AND noodles!!!Awesome job and I can't wait to be back!!!"

"The food is really good, but I do have to say they need to ramp up their cleaning protocols, particularly in the bathrooms"
"The food here is amazing Sucks that they are at 2 stars They deserve better than that based on the quality of their poke bowls and smoothies are also really good"
"Good food, good drink selection, and a good location?! Small city is a great place to go. They have a ton of great Vietnamese food options. They also have really good sushi and have some specials during the off season. It's a tap house, so you should be able to find something you like to drink. They offer the tap beers in multiple sizes so you can kind of build your own flight. We love that it's in the heart of downtown Sandusky. The city is very walkable and there's a parking garage close by. The only downside is sometimes they get super busy, so you have to be patient with the service during those times."
"don't come for the ambiance,come for the DELICIOUS SUSHI !!going to try & keep this review short; this place is so amazingly good, it may be better if less people find out...oops, i just made fun of the Ambiance; located between a convenience store, and a Subway, across the street from a Walmart, in a VERY modest room, you will find Highly Skilled Sushi artists, and an incredibly polite, warm and inviting staff, creating some of the tastiest, most creative, beautiful & delicious food in this areaDid i mention it's great for the family?I challenge you (i actually challenge myself regularly) , pick ANY sushi roll, with any combination of ingredients, pair it with a delicious hot sake, and see how you feel.I honestly think this place is a hidden Cleveland culinary gemDid i mention it's affordable? Did i mention it's FUN ? (paging through their home made picture "menu" , with their wild menu names is... fun!) Try the steamed dumplings Did i mention how large their rolls are ?Did i mention their great desserts? Forget about it ... eat truly fresh"
"First time in Medina, I was pronouncing it wrong, it's actually Medyna. Anyway since nobody knows what they want I saw Twisted has burgers, sushi, and other American stuff, something for the whole family. We got three specialty rolls, a burger, kids tenders, and the goon dip? Despite being a fan favorite the dip lacked any semblance of flavor, but they had no problem comping that off the bill. The burger was delicious, and the three rolls are monsters! Easily a double roll in each and very tasty. The Embassy and Sweet baby is more of non-sushi, it's cooked with plenty sprinkled over it, but still very good. The Chazmanian was cold, and delicious. I don't see a reason not to return here"
"I was abundantly satisfied with my first experience with Panda Wok. I picked up an order to go. I called ahead to check the price and was a little off-put by the price of a hand roll, but it was still cheaper than other places so I decided to get them there. (I am spicy tuna hand roll connoisseur). Their wait time that I was told was accurate. My hand rolls were incredible. The sushi was generously portioned and tasted fresh. The spicy mayo was on point, some spicy mayos are gross and that's always so disappointing. They were really busy but were great about keeping track of everyone's orders and super, super polite. Thank you!"
"Ordered lunch online here and it was awesome! I got a vegan poke bowl and the serving was huge. I also got a small roll on the side that was great to have on the side with the bowl. Tons of flavor, great portions, and the online ordering process was flawless."
"This place offers AYCE BBQ and hot pot. I haven't tried the hot pot yet, but I've greatly enjoyed the AYCE BBQ every time I had it here.Unlike at other AYCE BBQ places, YI is self-serve, so you don't have to wait around for your server to come around with the food and you can choose exactly how much you want to eat without worrying about wasting food.It was easy to cook all the meats and veggies on the grill at our table. All of the meat and veggies were fresh and delicious, especially when dipped into sauces from the bar.And though the meats & veggies were self serve, we still got great service from our waitress. She refilled our water often, changed the paper on our grill several times, & most importantly, kept those $1 bottles of beer coming. Hope this place sticks around for a long time!"
"Same set up as other Hibachi Steakhouses. Fast talking, wise cracking, chefs cooking table side. Also, the flaming volcano and catching shrimp in your mouth.The food is good and includes soap, salad, rice and a protein option. We went with the fried rice and filet. The food was good and filling. However, this place needs s good cleaning. There is a musty odor that needs to be taken care of."
"We ate here twice this weekend and will definitely be back. Sushi and wings are great and the portion size is over the top in their Hibachi meals. Definitely will have to take a doggie box to go. Prices are very reasonable."

What a great find. Thanks to my fellow yelpers we selected this establishment. From the friendly initial greeting to the departure the service was impeccable. The food was picturesque. It was actually a beautiful plate of food! There was an amazing attention to detail. The Pad Thai was authentic and a healthy portion. Very relaxing dinner and atmosphere. What a pleasant find.

Whenever I visit the area I always like to come to Small City Taphouse. They have a good selection of micro craft beer from the local area. Service is always welcoming and excellent. The ambiance is a little lacking, two large rooms with each having a bar the whole place seems to need an identity. But never the less the menu is typical Vietnamese. A large selection of items I usually have the Pho, fresh and tasty. Parking is on the street or the park garage across the street. Located in the downtown area walking distance to the waterfront.

I came here before grocery shopping this weekend. My partner is not an Asian food person he hasn't really tried much so I got a few things to share:~Gyoza: pork dumplings (not fried)~Tonkatsu: breaded and deep fried pork cutlet. These were a big hit for him they were very good. The tonkatsu was very crispy good quality meat.~Philadelphia roll, he liked this is good for a sushi newbie. To me there was a bit too much cream cheese but that's a preference.~Spicy Salmon. I mostly ate this and it was not spicy at all you'll have to use the wasabi. ~Green Dragon roll: very good but I didn't really taste the eel.The service was good everyone was very polite. Small clean restaurant.

I stopped in one afternoon probably right in between lunch and dinner. The restaurant was fairly quiet then but it's a large place and probably has the potential to be pretty lively. It was clean and I think they're going for a modern diner feel. On its face, the concept of this place sounds exciting so I didn't really study the menu beforehand. But, I just really struggled to find something that sounded really good.... So, I opted for the french onion burger . And, it was fine. I think it was a little under sauced but still fairly salty. The fries are also just fine . Service was friendly and pleasant enough as well. So, everything was fine. No reason to go back but- oh that cute little pickle sushi roll on top was fun!

Was craving some Asian food during this whole COVID-19 lockdown!I ordered the Generals Tso's with a medium heat and it was very good. Definitely going to try the spicy one next time! The pork fried rice and dumplings were tasty. I was not a fan of the egg roll! Not sure I got a bad batch but they weren't anything special.

"This is the old "Denny's" in Belden village, it has been completely remodeled and is immaculately clean inside. We went for the ramen this time and it did not disappoint! My ONLY critique is that there was barely any broth I mine, it was later in the night (6:30) so I'm wondering if maybe they were just running low because my daughter got a different broth and hers was plentiful! Plan on waiting if you come here, like everywhere else they are probably short staffed, there was only one waitress for the whole restaurant and she was also doing the register and take out orders. We definitely will be back, they have poke bowls that I'm dying to try..everything on the menu looked good and it was reasonably priced."
"Fantastic food! We ordered take-out when family came to visit, and everyone was very happy with their orders, and this can be a tough crowd to please! Every Sushi roll was wonderful. The Bento boxes were very tasty, the soups were flavorful. The restaurant is conveniently located on Boardman-Poland Road (224).' We will definitely be coming back for more."
"8 yrs later, this is still my favorite restaurant in the Akron area. Food hasnt changed. On our 2nd week into our recent vacation in Ireland, the only thing I wanted to eat was Sushi Asia Gourmet's Beef with Onion and Cumin . . ."
"Great store, clean, professional and great team there to help. Plus they have they're own adult beverage depot, NICE!!!!"
"Stumbled upon Bluefin Hibachi and Sushi on UberEats tonight as I wanted to try a new sushi place. I'm usually kind of skeptical about restaurants that serve both sushi and hibachi or chinese or something, but I decided to give it a try and have it delivered. My entire meal was very good. I got the lava drop app. It was kind of like crab rangoon, except only battered and not in a wonton, so less crispy. They were super tasty and still good even without being fresh out of the fryer as it was delivery. I really liked the sweet soy sauce on top. I also got a seaweed salad, which tasted really fresh and was reasonably priced at $7. I got two rolls, one basic Philadelphia roll and then the Cleveland roll. This specialty roll had deep-fried shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, avocado, and cream cheese inside and was topped with spicy mayo, eel sauce, masago, and scallion. I don't usually go for shrimp tempura, but this combo semed interesting. The roll was very tasty and a good size. The shrimp was cooked really well. I would definitely return to Bluefin either via delivery or in-person. They have a ton of speciality rolls with combinations that are outside of the ordinary that I think would be fun to try. My meal felt kind of expensive at $50 for 4 items, but I have to take into account the fact that there were delivery fees and that I don't usually get specialty rolls and those are more expensive. Whoops, i forgot to take pictures, too hungry!"
"Good service, timely orders. I liked the ambience, the menu is quite large with friendly atmosphere."
"I really, really wanted to love this place in a five star kind of way. We went in for breakfast for my birthday and right off, something seemed off. We were the third table in the restaurant, and the other two seemed annoyed and didn't have food.We kept a positive spirit, and after a few minutes the server showed up with menus, and we ordered. Nothing complicated; omelette with spinach and feta, rye, home fries, then two eggs over medium, bacon, home fries, rye toast.No big deal right? Wrong. Omelette came out with extras, mushrooms, onion, green pepper, and bacon. I liked it actually, but my wife wife wasn't so happy about the additions.Eggs were beyond well done, to the point that you could make deviled eggs from the yolks. You know how an egg smells sulfurous when it get that overdone... yuck. The second try was a little better, but they were still overdone imho.I don't like negative reviews, and this restaurant is in our neighborhood, so I really want them to be successful. Please, management, get on the ball with breakfast. It's not that hard to do well, but so few seem to be able to pull it off. Nice location and atmosphere, and I'll bet they have a good Bloody Mary, but we weren't asked if we wanted anything but water. Missed opportunity."
"Last night was an incredible dining experience at Sora! The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. The Crispy Rice stole the show, just as it always does. The ambiance of the restaurant is stunning, with a relaxed vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you find yourself in downtown Cleveland, Sora is an absolute must-try! You won't regret it!"
"Evan very pleasant young man greeted my niece and I.Wonderful food...Egg Foo YoungTrue Egg Rolls Chicken and vegetables Chicken and portabella mushrooms so goodKung Pai Chicken not too spicy just right.Brown Rice offered....Cant say enoughTy"
"My favorite thing about this place is the number of vegan items they have and they even offer you a special menu that has tons of choices, from sushi to appetizers to entrees. I went on a Sunday and did the $12 lunch special where you could pick 3 items--an appetizer, a salad and an entree. I chose the vegetable spring rolls, which were really good, and the spicy cucumber salad, which was underwhelming. For my entree I had the Szechuan with tofu which had peppers, onions, jalapeños and a spicy brown sauce. I really enjoyed it. We sat on the patio which was really pleasant and I like that it sits up high overlooking the parking lot. The waitress was really kind and attentive and everything came out pretty promptly. I definitely will be returning to try some of their other vegan options!"
"This place is fantastic. Every thing I have ever gotten from here is packed with flavor and delicious. The space is a little cramped but not bad if you don't mind sitting next to someone at the bar. The servers are always very nice and quick with your order."
"Fresh dishes from sushi to teriyaki! The sake was amazing and the service was phenomenal!"
"This place is awesome. Delicious. I ordered the Chicken Entree. It includes the chicken, fried rice, vegetables, and sauce. All excellent. Great service."
"If you're looking for a mellow atmosphere with excellent food and service, then this is the place for you. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. You could feel the love in the food. The crab Rangoon was some of the most amazing I've had! The miso soup was delightful. The honeydew Boba was great! And the hibachi dinner was very generous with the portions. I highly recommend visiting this location."
"We enjoy eating here!!! It's right on the square in Medina!!! Our food is always excellent! And of course, we love Dino!!!! He's the manager and he always takes good care of us!!! We love the spicy shrimp salad, the pot stickers, egg rolls and chicken wraps!!! Great appetizers!!! We also love the Peach Schnapps chicken with crunchy rice!!! Yummy!!! My date likes house Chou Fun noodles!!! One of my favorite places!!!!"
"Update! Got the Laksa. I literally stumbled on a Bourdain YouTube vid of him in Malaysia eating "laksa" at a street restaurant. One day later I'm in Kent and there is a Japanese/Malay place that I've eaten at before, and loved. This place.And they had laksa on the menu. Asked the waitress which should I get, the Miso Ramen or the Laksa. She said get the Laksa. It was delicious! Had the square wheat noodles, perfectly cooked, great texture and bite. The broth was a fish stock, deep brown, wonderful flavor, and along with the noodles, a few shrimp. Some thinly sliced red onion. Bean sprouts. Cilantro. Few other things, broth not hot, but spicy in a rich delicious way. Wife got a couple spring rolls and a salad with the ginger dressing. She loves that orange ginger dressing you find in some Asian places. We even bought a small container to go. $3! Gave the waitress a good tip for the GREAT tip on the Laksa. Ate every bit, except for all the broth. Wife had some too. She liked it, but is more a Korean Shin Ramen type person. (Oh, and quartered hard boiled egg in it too )I loved it. Kent is a great place to just wander, grab a bite or a meal, admire their predilection for squirrels (yes, squirrels) and grab a beer at one of the cool bars. Give stars for the restaurant. And four stars for Kent!"
"We LOVE eating at Ichiban! We ate inside with lovely decor. I've also ordered carry out and it's great. The service was really amazing and efficient. Great ambiance inside. Great portions for the money you pay. We were so full and then some. The crab Rangoon was so delicious and tasty. Best I've ever had.My chicken yaki soba was extremely filling and tasty. I've never had a japanese restaurant give such great tasting food for affordable prices.I will definitely return to this place and highly recommend to all!"
"Marble Room ReviewDining at Marble Room was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and professionalism, setting the tone for an exceptional evening. We started at the bar, where the bartender was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable--I had the best espresso martini I've ever tasted.Once seated, our servers provided top-notch service, guiding us through an incredible menu. We started with the scallop ceviche, which was absolutely to die for. For the main course, we shared the 40-ounce porterhouse, accompanied by Brussels sprouts and potatoes au gratin. Every single bite was pure perfection--the steak was cooked flawlessly, the Brussels sprouts were fun and flavorful, and the gratin was rich and delicious.Dessert was just as memorable. The crème brûlée was so good I'm still thinking about it, and the cotton candy stick (not sure of the name) was a delightful surprise. But beyond the food, the ambiance of Marble Room is breathtaking--words don't do justice to how truly spectacular it is.This was a fine dining experience in every sense, and I would go back in a heartbeat. If you're looking for an elegant setting, outstanding service, and food that will leave you speechless, Marble Room is the place to be. A huge thank you to the person who recommended it--I owe them at least 100 thank-yous!"
"Came in on a hoppin Saturday night 10 days before Christmas and the place was packed! If you come on the weekend reservations are probably a good idea. Parking will be hit/miss, you might get somewhere close. You might park 4 blocks away like I had to. The inside has a nice vibe as it's situated in an older building with lots of brick. The place is loud if it's busy so be prepared for that. The food is all really good, from the pho to the rangoons and egg rolls to all the sushi. My only chief complaint and I'm offering grace here because I know it was busy, is that it took a solid 25-30 minutes to get the appetizers after we got our drinks. Otherwise the service was good as well as the food. Check it out!"
"We met 8 friends here for a holiday hibachi dinner get together. None of us have ever been here. The restaurant was about half full and clean. We were not sure how busy they would be so we did previously make a reservation for 10. Our waiter was Liam and he was EXCELLENT!!! He was very attentive to all of us. The cook, he said his name was "Jim" was also great and entertaining. We all loved our meals. I did not hear one complaint from the group about our meals. The only complaint is instead of tossing pieces of shrimp to catch, which is always so fun, they toss pieces of scrambled egg. Honestly, kind of gross!! Who wants a piece of an egg? NO ONE!! I get trying to save money but this way is a mistake!! Sorry, no photos were taken of our dinners. We were having too much fun and enjoying everyone's company. We will for sure be back."
"My first visit to the Buffet. I was treated with a smile and hello. I was seated promptly and offered a drink immediately. The lunch selection, which is what I got was very adequate for lunch service. They have a dinner selection as well for the dinner hours and it looks to be many more items available for dinner. But I was very pleased with lunch for sure. The food was hot and very tasty. I highly recommend you coming here. I will be back for sure."
"Always love Pacific East. Their sushi tastes really fresh. Today I tried the Ichiban roll for the first time and loved it. It has smoked salmon, eel, cucumbers, avocado and fish roe wrapped in a larger roll with the seaweed on the outside. Lovely combination that I don't see often and it was really tasty. I also got the spicy tuna roll which was delicious. The tuna was chopped with the spicy mayo mixed with it inside the roll instead of on top. Pork gyoza was good. Kind of too soft but still tasty. The inside is super big although I haven't been in a while. Parking is usually kind of annoying if you are just going in to pick up there, but if you're going to sit down of course there's the nearby lot."
"Good hibachi and decent sushi. Little pricey but I guess everything is these days. Quick and convenient ."
