| - Beautiful venue--when you walk in, you pass a koi pond grotto before coming to the maitre'd station, with overhead blue green lights casting shadows down a wavy white wall. The restaurant portion is relatively small, but also very tasteful, with (fake) green bamboo stalks separating it from the bar area with a blue bubbling water wall. I felt like I was in NYC or Vegas rather than Beachwood!
We enjoyed the coconut shrimp appetizer, which was slightly sweet, although a bit overdone. Miso soup was standard, but the salad had a tasty ginger-based dressing which was light but flavorful. My friend had an assortment of sushi, while I enjoyed an enormous chirashi bowl with sushi rice, tobiko, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and two other types of fish. The slices were generous, fresh, and flavorful. Definitely a good deal! This is some of the best sushi I've had in Cleveland and definitely the most interesting ambiance. I look forward to returning and trying more sushi or the hibachi side.
