    Sapporo

    It was dinner night with the fam. My daughter was home from college and was jonesing for sushi. There are not a lot of great sushi shops near Medina, so we are in the process of hunting for local hot spots. We called ahead and upon arrival, despite the line, were seated immediately. Good call, I say. I had a Sapporo beer and we enjoyed some edamame. For dinner, my daughter and I split some sushi. I let her pick the rolls, but she insisted that I also provide input. We requested three rolls. My son requested chicken hibachi and my wife requested teriyaki chicken. A long while later, my wife received her meal. She waited a few minutes for our meals to be delivered, but they were not delivered timely. So she began eating, with pangs of guilt. About 15 minutes later, my son's chicken hibachi was delivered and he began to eat right away. Another fifteen minutes passed before our sushi was delivered. Our waiter apologized for the delay in the food as they were very busy. My wife rated her teriyaki chicken as five stars. My son gave his hibachi chicken four stars. My daughter and I would give sushi four stars. I'd definitely dine here again, but our hunt for epic sushi continues.

    Absolute family favorite sushi spot. Yes, they are incredibly short-staffed, so be patient & kind. The food is worth the wait! The ambiance is beautiful inside, perfect for a date night. They do have two larger dining areas in the back, and, a sunken in dining room as well (you have to call and reserve well in advance, though). Sometimes when it's a date we enjoy sitting at the bar, too, watching them prepare is cool to see.

    Tasty sushi and fried rice. Many options to choose from including sushi rolls, noodles, hibachi etc. Would come back again!

    Leon and staff are the gold standard. Have been coming here for 14 years; both food and service have always been top tier.

    Good experience, sat down and got waited on within minutes. The server was friendly and attentive, chef Leon has a great sushi selection and it is as fresh as it gets in the area!!! Overall good experience, good food and we will be back and try some other food options next time.

    This location is much better than others. Large and roomy inside with plenty of seating. The sushi roll wrapped in rice paper (can't remember the name) was amazing. It had tempura shrimp and avocado. Spicy. Crunchy. Sooo de-lish. Everyone at the table loved his/her roll, including my 80-something grandmother who was trying sushi for the first time. The service was very slow and we had to eventually flag someone down to get the check. Our server was very difficult to understand as well. My miso soup, while good on flavor, lacked tofu and green onion. Otherwise, this was a pretty great experience. I'd go back and get the exact same sushi roll. Oh! BTW: the tempura fried cheesecake will change your life! Save room for it!

    Regular stop for lunch in Wadsworth. The size and value of the Hibachi lunch cannot be beat. Sushi always fresh. Interior decor has a very cool vibe.

    The sushi was super fresh and on point. Sumonomo was a very large portion. The hibachi also looks really good the table next to me had it. It came out sizzling. So good. Will return. By

    Ask the Community - Kasai Japanese Restaurant

    Do they have sea ​​urchin?

    Maybe.

    Can the food be cooked in front of you like hibachi?

    They offer hibachi food items, but they are not cooked in front of you. My husband ordered it before & enjoyed it. The food is always great, but if you are looking for the hibachi experience it’s not for you.

    Well. Well. Well. Where do I begin…read more Part 1: The Complaint My only complaint and also the only reason that this isn't a 5 star review was how long it took to be seated. Normally this wouldn't be problem but it just wasn't busy and we waited like 45 minutes when there was plenty of space. Part 2: The Main Act The chef, amazing. Hospitality, well...let's just say it felt hospitable. Shrimp more like Shirmpyum! Chicken more like chickyum! Steak more like steakyum! Yum yum sauce more like yum yum yum sauce! Also the ambiance was nice and calm... until it wasn't. I was sitting in a dimly lit room and all of sudden whoosh(fire sound) THE CHEF WAS TRYING TO BURN THE F*CKING RESTAURANT DOWN! Part 3: The Proverb This trip reminded me of an ancient proverb I was once told. "If you go to sleep with an itching anus you are sure to wake up with smelly fingers"

    Well now I understand all the horrible reviews. What a shame. Arrived at 8:30 and did not leave…read moreuntil 10:50. All the time we were waiting for a chef. 2 of the cups served to us had some mystery white cream in the cup, we asked our server to provide us with a new glass and she took our glasses not saying a word and rolling her eyes. I felt sick afterwards. The other glasses we got were sticky and felt not clean. We got our soup and salad and proceed to wait over an hour for a chef to get us. There was only 2 other groups/tables there, the restaurant was cleared out by then. Horrible wait and horrible service. Probably will never return due to this experience.
