(I'm really not kidding--you can find me here an hour after I land at the airport.) The sushi is fantastic and so fresh, the service is friendly, and I love the casual ambiance. I haven't tried the ramen yet (because I'm a big sushi lover) but my friend recommended it too. I'll have to try it next time! Thanks so much to Afu and Alfin who prepared our food.

But once you walk in, it's surprisingly huge inside and really nice! It was pretty empty when we went, which made it feel relaxed and comfortable, and the servers were all very friendly and attentive. I ordered the hibachi chicken and shrimp, which was only $18 -- and I paid $4 extra so I could get both rice and noodles. Totally worth it. The portions were huge and everything was very tasty. The best part by far was the noodles and veggies -- so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The chicken and shrimp were both great too and you get a ton of food for the price. Overall, such a good value and a really solid hibachi spot. Don't judge it by the outside -- it's definitely worth going in!

I should have known when, while on the phone placing our order, I asked if she would include a Takeout Menu to our bag & she said they don't offer that. She suggested I can always look at the online menu.....you know, the online menu with no prices. The seafood entrees clearly state on the menu that they come with soup, salad, vegetables & rice. There were no salads in our bag. Our teriyaki shrimp was in a sauce the consistency of water. We were told pickup in 25 minutes but it was not ready until 50 minutes after our call & there were only 4 occupied booths. We ordered shumai, shrimp teriyaki & shrimp tempura. It came to $56. I should have known. Now I do.

For an appetizer we tried the hamachi nigiri, which did not disappoint. For entrees we had shoyu ramen and chicken tempura curry. The broth of the ramen was authentic and warmed our bellies. The curry (I ordered medium spicy) was delicious and mouth watering. While they do not serve alcohol, you are welcome to BYOB, which I prefer since restaurants don't always offer the type of alcohol I like and it takes me forever to decide! The Cab that we brought paired nicely with our meal. If you get there before 6 pm and want alcohol, Miles Market is next door. Also the Shell gas station sells beer and wine. The restaurant is family owned and operated. Very knowledgeable and if you're like us and know your Japanese food, they have a Japanese menu! We will definitely be back to sample some of their other dishes!

Summary: Visited during a trip home to see my parents. I…read morelive in San Francisco and have traveled to Japan multiple times... This was truly the most exceptional omakase I have had anywhere in the world. Every detail has been planned and executed to the highest degree of excellence. To have this kind of experience anywhere would be a treat but to have it in Cleveland is an incredible luxury. A must visit. Details: Space - Absolutely stunning, intimate space with incredibly beautiful, traditional Japanese finishes. The wood counter is so soft you could rub your face against it. Food - Beyond all expectations. Careful selection of the best ingredients, a fanatical fixation on flawless execution, and undeniable skill, all really add up to something special here. The use of unique techniques and seasonings, chosen thoughtfully for each fish elevated what I thought were familiar ingredients to entirely new levels. Drink - Incredible selection of top sakes, many of which I even found difficult to find on my last visit to Japan. Service - Incredible service, warm, accommodating, effusively kind and above all else... super fun and friendly! At this level, dinning can often be stuffy or intimidating but the team really does an incredible job curating a fun light hearted atmosphere! Vibes - The vibes are great. By the time we left, we were friends with everyone in the room! Price/ value - This is definitely not a cheap meal but it is a truly special experience that could stand toe-to-toe with any top Sushi restaurant in the world. The amount of care, craft, skill is outrageously special and there is clearly a "spare-no-expense" approach to all of the ingredients, dishware, glassware and techniques used.

This is an authentic Japanese restaurant. The owners and all of their staff are wonderful people. They can't do enough to make your visit a marvelous experience. Our server last evening was a beautiful young lady (Kelly?) dressed in fantastic authentic garb. She was pleasant, efficient, attentive, and always smiling. My wife enjoyed dumplings and crab cakes, I had an excellent version of lamb chops and our guests enjoyed "Shrimp Tempura" and "Anniversary Sushi". Everything was perfectly prepared. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire evening as we always do at Shuhei. I very highly recommend it.

The salmon and hamachi lacked freshness, and the tataki was let down by a sauce that was simply unpleasant--I ended up adding wasabi just to make the dish palatable. I wonder if a chef actually has tasted this dish. The tempura was simply a tragedy - a large pile of limp and uninspired fried things. Service was perfectly fine, but there's a noticeable disconnect between the curated, kimono-wearing, polite atmosphere and what actually arrives at the table.

For entrees, the pork belly udon was a highlight, and the ramen featured a perfectly creamy egg. We also tried the milk tea with boba, which was very refreshing. However, it was confusing that one drink was served in a significantly smaller cup than the others, especially since the menu didn't list different size options.

I was expecting more heat and less sauce for the Korean spicy fried chicken wings. It was not spicy and not quite what I was craving based on what I had at other locations.
