    Chicken Teriyaki and Steak
    Patience M.

    If you've been to hibachi before you may not be impressed. They don't put on a "show" like most hibachi chefs do it's pretty much them just cooking the food in front of you. The food was really good although the yum yum sauce is salty and I added a bunch so it made my entire plate too salty. Overall, I would go back but i would just order to go and buy my own yum yum sauce at Giant Eagle.

    This is the Chicken Teriyaki.

    So my wife and I, got two teriyaki chicken dinners. That's it. Nothing extra. Nothing fancy, nothing. Else. Tell me why I walk into this joint and it literally looks abandoned, dilapidated. Looks like it hasn't been renovated in decades. And these two (both the same thing) dinners, Cost me $45.60. I don't get it??? Good food though. Just way over priced for some simple rice and chicken....

    The most poorly, hastily made salmon rolls I have ever seen.

    Have always loved Yamato but was extremely disappointed today. Ordered 18 pieces of sushi, and it was clear that my order was rushed through the line. I was served in about five minutes, and the hastily-made sushi had the worst presentation I have ever seen in a restaurant. Pieces of fish were sticking out of the sushi, and several of the pieces barely had any fish in them. Moreover, the fish did not taste fresh at all. I stopped here on a return trip home and found that the sushi tasted nothing like it did when I lived here. Additionally, the store has tacky signs taped to the front of the door admonishing customers about policies (EX- your WHOLE party has to be here before you will be seated). I was disappointed today to see a giant sign taped to the door saying that only the dinner menu will be served all day. From my seat, I could see several parties leave after reading the sign. The restaurant should have posted this on their Facebook page- I honestly would have come a different day as all of the other people in my party were not sushi eaters and got stuck paying the relatively high dinner menu prices. I was disappointed today and am really hoping this was just an anomaly.

    A Beautiful Atmosphere and Outstanding Service for a Truly Special First Visit:…read more My first visit to Mizu Restaurant in Niles, Ohio was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, I was impressed. The restaurant was absolutely immaculate. Everything looked spotless, polished, and well cared for, which immediately gave me a great first impression. You can tell they take pride not only in their food and service, but in the atmosphere they create for their guests. One of the first things that caught my attention was the beautiful wall of water with bubbles in it. It was such a unique and eye-catching feature, and honestly it set the tone for the whole evening. It gave the restaurant such an elegant and relaxing feel. I absolutely loved it. It added a calming, almost upscale touch that made the whole place feel special without being stuffy or uncomfortable. The ambiance was another standout. The lighting was low and warm, which made the restaurant feel cozy and inviting. The music was also at the perfect level -- low enough that you could actually enjoy your conversation, but still there to add to the mood. They had popular music playing, and it blended in so well with the overall vibe of the restaurant. Everything about the setting felt balanced, comfortable, and thoughtfully done. What really made our first time at Mizu memorable, though, was the service. The wait staff was amazing. Our server was attentive in a way that felt natural and genuine, never forced. I never once had to ask for anything because he was always right there when we needed him. Drinks were taken care of, questions were answered, and every need we had was met almost before we even had to mention it. That level of attentiveness can completely change a dining experience, and in our case, it absolutely did. What stood out most was how the staff made our first visit feel truly special. There is a big difference between simply being served and being genuinely taken care of, and that is exactly how we felt here. We felt welcomed, appreciated, and comfortable the whole time. For a first-time visit, that means a lot, because it instantly makes you want to come back. Mizu Restaurant gave us more than just a meal -- it gave us an experience. Between the immaculate cleanliness, the stunning water feature, the relaxing ambiance, and the outstanding service, this place left a lasting impression on me. It's not often that a first visit feels this complete, but Mizu really delivered in every way that mattered. I would absolutely recommend Mizu Restaurant in Niles to anyone looking for a place with a beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, and a dining experience that feels a little extra special. Our first time there was memorable for all the right reasons, and we will definitely be back.

Sushi sounded good and that's how I found Hanami Express. I ordered online from the extensive lunch menu. Most entrees were around the $8 -12 range. I opted for a three roll sushi special ($14.95) and the lunch hibachi salmon ($12.25). I'll start with the positive - there is a drive thru which makes pick up a breeze. I ordered the Philly roll, a Boston roll and the tempura shrimp roll. The presentation was pretty much what you find with grocery store sushi to the point of the tempura shrimp almost looked unappetizing. I'm never one to shy away from cream cheese but the strip of cream cheese in the Philly roll was overpowering. The soup had some mystery white stuff floating on top. My husband ate both bowls of our soup. The hibachi salmon was as underwhelming as the sushi. Two small pieces of extremely dry salmon with a serving of bland mixed veggies. I ordered steamed rice and it came with fried rice instead - not a biggie but still... Even the fortune cookies were a disappointment. Mine was broken into a bunch of pieces and both were stale. We're going to a catered dinner tonight - at least today will not be a total loss for my taste buds.

The food is consistently good, which is why we continue coming back. Unfortunately, the service has declined significantly over time. It wasn't like this when they first opened, but now it seems that every visit involves long waits--for drinks, water refills, someone to take our order, our food, or even our check. Tonight was a perfect example. We sat for about 15 minutes before a young man who wasn't even our server stepped in, took our drink order, brought our beverages, and made sure we were taken care of. He essentially saved what would have been a very poor experience. Once we were finished eating, our actual server finally appeared. My meal was also brought out without the fries that were supposed to come with it, and the menus on the table were dirty. The bright spot was that young employee who stepped up and took care of us. I wish I had caught his name because he deserved the tip and the recognition. The food keeps us coming back, but the service continues to be disappointing. I truly hope management addresses it because this restaurant has great food and a lot of potential. Unfortunately, tonight wasn't a one-off experience. The last time we dined in, service was so slow that our drinks didn't arrive until long after we ordered, and the beer was warm by the time it reached the table. Our waitress acted as though checking on customers was a hassle, and while we waited for drinks and service, she seemed more focused on her phone in the back than on the guests in the dining room.
