I visited Kintaro Sushi and Hibachi for the first time on Sunday, 18 August 2024 in the late afternoon with my friend and fellow Yelper, Dr. Antonio P. FOOD -- They specialize in AYCE (All You Can Eat) Sushi and Hotpot. When I entered the restaurant, I noticed some yummy fried rice with steak and shrimp so maybe I'll order that next time, if I visit Kintaro again. I came to try the 'All You Can Eat' hotpot (soup) lunch for $17.99. You can eat as much as you want for 2 hours. They can charge extra for food waste so don't order too much. For their hotpot all you can eat, you are given a menu to mark off what you want added to your soup. I can't remember if I chose a pork based broth or a chicken broth but I think it was pork-based. The hotpot came with some beef strips (rolled up), ramen noodles, and cilantro. The broth didn't look as fresh as I would have liked when my food was initially brought to me but after adding the ingredients to the soup, it tasted fine. My soup needed flavour as it was bland so I had to stand up and go to the back of the restaurant to get some chili oil and sauces so that I could add that to my soup. When my food was brought out, it was actually a lot for 1 person so I don't remember finishing my soup. I did add all the ingredients into the hotpot and ate enough of it that I wasn't charged extra for food waste. Overall, the hotpot is decent. Customer service was friendly and efficient. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 114/250 total reviews in 2026 - 955 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 June 2026

A great ramen spot in the University Circle area!…read more I came here for a quick lunch. I got the char siu ramen ($15.50). It came piping hot with plenty of noodles, a decently sized portion of char siu, and lots of kikurage mushrooms and corn. The noodles had a nice chew, the char siu was tender, and the tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful. I slurped up every bit of that soup. The restaurant itself is very no-frills. It looks like it's mostly a takeout place, but they do have a few tables for dine-in customers. Most of the seating consisted of high chairs (not my fave as a vertically challenged person). I will have to come back here in the autumn or winter - I bet the hot ramen will hit the spot even more in cold weather.

Nice sit down Thai restaurant. Pretty large dining room but…read morethere were always some seats available, even though it was fairly busy on a Tuesday night. Two page menu gave plenty of options, but it wasn't overkill like many Chinese food menus. Red curry w/ jasmine rice I ordered the Pineapple fried rice, which was delicious, w/ chicken veggies & curry & a zero spice level. Others tried: Vegetable stir fry w/ white Jasmine rice on side (spice level 1) & Yellow curry veggie (delish) with rice on side (spice level 2), & Red Curry veggie w/ rice (level 3/5). It was nice you can pick level of spice on any dish. The level 2&3 was too much for me, 1 woulda been perfect. Servers were very polite & very much on it. We sat over 2 hrs & they refilled drinks the whole time. The prices were probably in range w/ other Thai places but a tad high ($16 for ours) if I compare to a fast casual Mexican or Chinese which give just as much portion.

I cannot say enough about this place. I've been driving by…read morethis location for years and telling myself that I would stop in today I finally did. I took the recommendation of our server on dish and chose a nice spicy curry and was not disappointed. While it was not as spicy as I would have hoped, he told me how to order it hotter the next time. The flavor combinations and the depth of flavor was so amazing. Are crab Rangoon has outdone every other crab Rangoon I've ever had. At this point, I could name other places where I thought their crab Rangoon was amazing... And at this point they no longer even hold a candle. A nice hearty crab chunks mixed in with the cream cheese sauce and filling, and it's just to die for. The dessert of the sticky rice with mango was sweet and thick and filling and just rich beyond description. The lighting is soft and easy in the eyes, the colors on the walls are pleasant and pink and oranges and brown purples, sounds a pleasant to listen to everybody cooking in the music, while faster and hip-hop was not distracting. I quite enjoyed listening to it, listening to Thailand versions of American hits. It was quite an enjoyable experience all around. We look forward to coming back.

We used the kiosk to place our order and to pay. The bobas were available in dozens of dairy and non-dairy flavors, and they were customizable with a base of either green tea or soda water, dozens of flavors of bubbles, and options for ice and other add-ons. My husband chose flavors of passion fruit and mango, and I chose a flavor of peach. Each boba cost several dollars. Several minutes later, an employee handed over our bobas. My husband and I enjoyed the taste of the bobas.

Good place. Casual…read more You walk in and place your order on an iPad. They bring it over or call your number. The sushi rice was a bit pasty or sticky and lacked a bit of flavor. Maybe more sugar or vinegar on the rice? The orange chicken was insane. So tender and so fresh! Takoyaki was different, outside was fried and the inside was gooey with octopus chunks. Flavor was good, a good experience to eat. Drinks were really good and tasted great. It's worth a visit if you enjoy sushi or some street food type dining.

I had heard of Ice or Rice via social media before but my first visit wasn't until March 2026 when…read moreI was in the area anyway. Ice or Rice is located in Cleveland's Asiatown, surrounded by many other Asian restaurants, and has a non-descript exterior and a basic AF interior. There is also only street parking so be aware of that. I was the only customer at 1pm on a Sunday. It only took about 8 minutes for my order to be ready and packaged to go. I was going to order a poke bowl but decided against it when I saw how few ingredients there were. No edamame? Heresy! So at the last minute, I changed my plans and ordered the Thai Dog ($7) and a Spam Musubi ($4.50) and took them home with me to eat for lunch/dinner. The Thai Dog was a generously sized hot dog on a white bun with some pickled vegetables, smothered in 3 different sauces (although I did ask for light sauce). I thought it was delicious, if about $2 overpriced. I ate the Spam Musubi piece for dinner and although also very yummy (I forgot how much I enjoy the smokiness of spam!), this was definitely overpriced at $4.50. I have seen spam musubi usually cost about $3. I won't harp on too much about the price though. Haha! There are lots of other restaurants in the area but Ice or Rice is centrally located and is great for grab and go meals. I LOVE all the Hawaiian dishes on there as well! I think I would come back to try another unique item if I am in the area in the future.

In my continuing adventures in the Cleveland food scene, I found myself in AsiaTown at Rice or Ice,…read moreand I, of course, wound up with both rice *and* ice. We started with an order of edamame, then I got a shrimp tempura poke bowl - crispy shrimp over a generous bowl of lettuce, seaweed salad and fluffy rice. The shrimp was a little greasy (microwaved and reheated?) but it did the job. And afterwards, I got the strawberry shaved ice - a heaping bowl of ice topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and sliced strawberries, drizzled with strawberry sauce and condensed milk. Overall, a filling meal. If you're a fan of either rice or ice, this place is for you!

They were actually so fresh and there were sufficient proteins!m to balance the other toppings. You get unlimited toppings choices (just can't get excess of one thing). I love the wide variety like avocado, sewed salad, kimchi. It's such a refreshing light but satisfying meal!

DELICIOUS! AFFORDABLE! NICE SERVICE! CLEAN ENVIRONMENT!…read more Now that I have your attention, lol, do not hesitate to try Corner 11. They offer numerous protein options for poke bowls, raw and cooked, as well as a copious amount of different ramen. A friend and I went. I got a 2 protein poke bowl with a Moshi Strawberry matcha. I did not like the beverage lol. However, my poke bowl was loaded, fresh and return worthy. My friend got the spicy ramen. He stated that the broth was more than flavored water lol. He claims that it tasted slow cooked with bones spices and herbs and it complimented the whole bowl. The ramen noodles were cooked to perfection and not too soft. He said the cut of pork was lean and seared delicately. He really enjoyed. We were both fans of the mango lemonade.

This has been my favorite Vietnamese spot for nearly a decade (because this owner used to operate…read morePho Thang Cafe in downtown Cleveland). Their broth is so complex and comforting, the ingredients are always fresh, and the space is well kept. The service staff are attentive and helpful. If you're only getting this for takeout, you're missing out. They make their own chili oil and my husband practically drinks it with his Banh mi. No other Vietnamese spot in Northeast Ohio comes close in my opinion. I live 30 mins away and am already making excuses to come back so I can eat here.

Pho Ever is a casual family-owned Vietnamese eatery in Lorain. My visit to this restaurant was not…read morepre-planned. I was in the area at the Lorain Library (main branch), and was craving a cozy meal. Pho Ever had a catchy name and was only a few minutes away (drive). What's more cozy than pho? I made a quick and good decision to visit. AMBIANCE: The restaurant is one open space simple cultural decor. The space well fits groups and single guests. Multiple comfy booths are available along one of the walls and there are plenty of tables. Decor includes Nón Lá (Vietnamese conical hats) around the perimeter of the restaurant, vases and flowers, wood carved rooster art, prosperity wall hanging with laughing Buddhas, and other decor typical of Asian restaurants. There is also a blue sky ceiling fragment. The atmosphere is very simple and casual. The restaurant is not the cleanest. That includes the floor, the bathrooms, the tables, and teapots. Everything could use a deep clean. FOOD/DRINKS: The menu features appetizers, rice plates, vermicelli stir-fry, pho, fried rice, ramen noodles, combination plates, and optional add-ons. Drinks were not on the menu. There are few pictures of the menu items to point you in the right direction. Each dish has alphanumeric value for simple ordering. I noticed that the prices are pretty value-oriented less than many other comparable restaurants. I ordered my default Vietnamese restaurant order - pho, rolls, and hot tea. More specifically, A3 (2 charbroiled pork rolls, $5), A4 (charbroiled chicken rolls, $5), P3 (pho with eye round steak and well-done brisket, $14), and jasmine tea ($2 for a tea pot). Rolls had a generous amount of meat. I loved pork rolls, but didn't like the chicken. I found it to be too dry. I did not use the accompanying sauces since spice is not my favorite. Pho included a large portion, plenty of meat, but the broth had some slightly lemony undertone that wasn't my favorite. Jasmine tea was perfectly hot and light. It was a very comforting meal due to hot tea and hot pho. I also loved that the food was delivered with a pouch with chopsticks, fork, spoon, and big spoon for pho. SERVICE: The service was very pleasant, quick, and accommodating. There was one waiter serving quickly filling dining room. He was excellent and very attentive! I was seated very quickly. My food impressively arrived within minutes. All other guests had all their questions answered with patience. Huge compliments on the service! The restaurant was extremely accommodating to groups. They expeditiously moved tables together for large dinner groups. I was at the restaurant before 6 PM and the restaurant was already almost full with more people pulling into the parking lot. It seems like it's a popular local destination. PARKING: There is plenty of parking available to customers. Dedicated parking lot rather than shared plaza arrangement. My experience was pretty positive. I was especially impressed with the excellent service. It wasn't the best Vietnamese food that I experienced, but pretty good for a casual Sunday meal. While I wouldn't go out of my way to travel here, I'd definitely stop in while in the area.
