They are currently only TO-GO orders, but the food was absolutely phenomenal. I have always loved sushi, but am picky since the quality is not always good in Northern Ohio.. this place is not like the rest! Fresh, excellent ingredients. Good portion size, lots of fish in the sushi rolls. Shumai was delicious as well. Not a bad price, especially for the quality. I will be back in a few days 👍
As good as most Asian restaurants serving sushi . Go there because they are close to my home. The last two times I ordered takeout my order was wrong, even though I make the person go over exactly what I ordered on the phone. My bill is usually close to, or more than one hundred dollars for two people. The portions have been cut way down, and I received a few pieces of sashimi instead of the triple-orders of sushi with rice today. My husband picked up the order and never looked in the bag. If I order from there again, will make sure to scrutinize the contents before leaving the restaurant . The food has been good ---just wish they could get the order correct.
Stumbled onto this randomly via delivery service menus, live relatively close but didnt know it was here. I ordered and picked up directly with them. Sushi is quite good and they have a nice pickup setup for 2020. Have ordered from here three times in 2020 and been impressed all three times. I will definitely try in person dining when possible.
I used to give this place 5 stars, but sometime in the past year or so the quality of their sushi has become hit or miss. Sometimes its the quality Ive come to expect which is outstanding. However, it seems like half the time I order from here the sushi is pretty bad. Its more sloppily put together, doesnt taste fresh, too much rice and the rice is too sweet. They must have different chefs. If you guys are reading this, at least one of your sushi chefs is incredible. But some are not great. Sadly weve decided not to order from here again because its too expensive to sometimes get disappointing sushi. :(That being said, they have a bunch of other stuff on the menu. I havent had a lot of it, but what Ive had has been good. The service has always been great.
Best bargain for sushi on Mondays and Tuesdays (up to 1/2 off regular price on select sushi; also salads and appetizers). Food is always fresh, staff is friendly. The squid salad is very good if you like squid. Seaweed salad very good, too. Dont expect authentic Thai stir fry with Thai style. It is just that, Thai style--and very good, but not exactly what you would get in a Thai restaurant. Thats not a fault or criticism, just an observation to help someone new to the restaurant make informed ordering decisions. Monday and Tuesday evenings can get pretty busy because of the sushi special. Be prepared to wait--but it will be worth it. Its great to have this restaurant in Parma!
The food is fresh, whether you choose from the regular menu or the sushi menu. Sushi is by far the best in Northeast Ohio, as far as Im concerned. I tell all about this place. I have had sushi from many places, but they have it down. Not only that, they have a 1/2 off sushi menu for dining in on Mondays and Tuesdays. The employees are super friendly and make sure everything is as ordered. In fact, it is like cheers when you walk in, if you frequent there, they end up greeting you by name. If you live in a close proximity, I highly recommend visiting them! Enjoy!
We were extremely happy with our dinner here. We ordered 2 special sushi rolls (Magic roll and the Blue Ginger roll) and both of them were delicious! The tempura was done perfectly on the rolls, it was a very crunchy panko breading. The filet on the Blue Ginger roll was very tender and its a unique roll that we havent seen before. We also shared a Thai Basil Chicken entree and it too was 5 stars. The server we had was excellent, think fancy steakhouse type service, waters were never low and he was very polite. Found our new sushi restaurant close to home!
Great food, great service! The meals are priced very well for what you get and too boot they are very filling. Mondays they have 1/2 priced sushi rolls, another great deal and very filling. I would recommend it for date nights, dinner with friends and dinner alone. Great atmosphere, very modern and hip.
Made the mistake of stopping in during dinner rush. Crowded, so I sat at the bar. Servers were rushing around, but it was a chance to check out all the choices. By the time my order was taken, I had forgotten what I wanted. Tried the Thai calamari and it was so-so, some pieces were rubbery and the mango sauce didnt have any taste. The orange rolls were good, nice tasting salmon topped the rolls.
Best sushi Ive had (beats the places I went to out of state). Hibachi is really good as well, and the lunch special is the best price Ive ever seen, it feeds me for awhile. I must add that I have never had an issue with service and Ive been here a bit, so I do not know why people would complain... Maybe a language barrier? Still hands down best sushi place in Cleveland.
Really great food! Way better then the average take out place but not quite as good as PF Changs. The sushi is delicious.The sushi is half off Mondays and Tuesdays and they are always very busy on those nights, so the service is really bad. It took our server over 25 minutes to get our food order but she at least got our drinks.The language barrier makes it very difficult to communicate with the staff but they are always polite.
The food was excellent and my server was very attentive and helpful. Yellowtail scallion is one of my go-to rolls and always my favorite thing to order. The other two were new experiments for me and I was a big fan!The only (small) complaint I have is that the peanut avocado roll comes with a white cream drizzled over the top which contains dairy apparently. I cant have dairy for health reasons and it wasnt mentioned on the menu at all. But when I saw it, I stopped to ask about it and once I explained that I cant have dairy the server offered to have him re-make the roll. They were very quick and helpful about it!
This place is one of my favorite places to get sushi. My girlfriend and I go here EVERY year for our anniversary. I havent had a dish on the menu that isnt delicious, the service is great, and the overall atmosphere is just great. If you are a veteran to Asian food or new to it, Id reccomend Blue Ginger for either. It normally isnt super for busy for lunch or dinner so seating and service are great, you cant go wrong with Blue Ginger!
Warning... the service is really bad in here. My husband and I came here for the first time from Maryland. We ordered a seafood salad and we got a seaweed salad instead, than we ordered sushi we dont like fried one the sushi taste really bad when we complained. The manager treated us really bad she said if you dont like it the server will pay for it. we said no in the menu you guys didnt mention that its fried she was like no temporary means fried. When I told her the server is new she doesnt know she said were lying, she was rude to us. Thats not how we treat new people
Not going to be a repeat dining experience for us. It was average at best. We tried coconut soup which was the best thing we had. The sesame chicken was very reminiscent of a premade sauce for orange chicken. The wonton soup was okay. The pad thai was not good...had a twangy taste to it. The sushi rolls were mediocre so Im glad they were half price. We wont return.
Well where do I begin... first off, the service was terrible. The waitress was just not interested at all. It took ten minutes from being seated to her coming over to take our drinks order. After several more minutes, she came back with the wrong drink for me and took another lengthy period of time to rectify it. There was no silverware on our table (she also bused the table prior to us taking it) so we assumed we had to eat our starter with our hands. When the entrees came out, we still had no silverware and had to request it from her, to which she apologised and brought over two forks. No knives or chopsticks so eating the entree was difficult. My husbands entree tasted amazing, but with mine, the chicken tasted rubbery and I wasnt sure it was even cooked properly. I took it home in a box to look at it in better lighting and it was pink inside. One thing the waitress was good at was removing our plates each time a course was finished. She was also good at checking us out, except for the fact she hadnt even asked us if we wanted to check out and I was intending on trying the tempura ice cream so they lost out on some extra cash there. I was just done at that point. She also didnt ask how our food was at any point and just didnt have time for us at all. The restaurant was full, but it is not that big and I have had better service at busier restaurants. I did not want to leave a tip but my husband left her $5, IMO it is $5 she should put towards going to school and learning basic social skills. I have only had worse service in one other place, PF Changs where the waiter seemed to not even know what planet he was on. In summary, I recommend this restaurant to people who like to sit around doing nothing for long periods of time and enjoy the sensation of food poisoning.
Lost a star due to sushi prices on regular days. Monday and Tuesday evening are half off if you dine in -- zomg-- would recommend. As far as sushi quality goes, its about in the 70th percentile--nothing to write home about. Good atmosphere, no issues with staff. Also about 70th percentile for ambience, so acceptable for a second or third date.As far as non sushi items, I tried the pad thai and was thoroughly unimpressed - the sauce was gross. Havent tried anything else yet
I used to love this place but each time I go there now they ALWAYS get my order wrong. Since the first time they got my order wrong I always say it twice to confirm but even then they still get it totally wrong. The first time this happened they apologized, but it just happened recently for the fourth time and they werent apologetic even though I was the only customer there, in fact they made sure I paid the extra for the new item even though it was what I originally ordered. I told my husband that I dont want to go back as they seem to never get our order right.
Maybe I was hyped up for this with people telling me this will be my go to spot, but it was disappointing to say the least. Everything tasted like it came out of a box. From the crab wantons, to the egg rolls and finally the sesame chicken. On the other hand it seems very clean and the hostess was very nice. I would not come back for he food.

2022-07-06This restaurant has good sushi. The shrimp tempura is fresh and crispy. They serve all the sushi you order on a boat. It looks gorgeous. The teriyaki tofu is so good and it comes with rice and soup. They exchange my white rice to fried rice without extra charge. I will rate this restaurant 5/5.

2022-06-22Great sushi and sashimi. I ordered the Godzilla roll and the Spider roll. Both were awesome. Perfect for a light but elegant dinner.. other menu options were tempting but i closed the menu really fast and stayed with the plan. The atmosphere was subdued and pleasant. Service was outstanding even though it was busy. I really enjoyed dining here.

2022-03-25Loved the place! Great service, delicious food and a thick menu of all kinds of Asian food including sushi, Thai, Chinese and more. Our food was ready super quick. The price was very comparative and considering great quality of delicious food and fast service, it was less then most of the places in town. I would definitely recommend to visit this place! I will visit them again for sure!

2022-06-19Very good quality! You can tell they use fresh, clean ingredients. Food is very light & refreshing; not heavy like others. Looking forward to trying other items on their extensive menu!

2018-08-26This is a hidden gem for some great food! I thought the prices were reasonable and everyone was very friendly. I forgot to take a picture of Yellow Fin Tuna, it was great. The only downside is they do not have a Sunday liquor license, so no Saké or wine. Just beer on Sunday. The atmosphere is very relaxing.Just came back again and had another great experience.

2022-06-26Order from there today, chicken was soggy. The rice was terrible. You can get the same quality of food cheaper at one of the local take out places.
