Shinano Sushi Bar & Japanese Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
Dropped in at lunchtime for some rolls and was greeted warmly and in and out in less than 10 minutes.
Ate lunch here today and I was overjoyed. It's very hard to find an actual authentic Japanese restaurant in Ohio, and a lot of people seem to think a place is "authentic" and then I see Pad Thai (Thailand) or Bibimbop (Korea) or even General Tso Chicken (China) on the menu and my soul dies a little. Well, not so with this place. Japanese family owned and the food was absolutely delicious and took me back to the island of Okinawa! The sushi chef, a nice Ojiisan, even hand grilled the Unagi (Eel) sushi I ordered. So glad I stumbled on this place on my way to a work call I had, while helping in the Cleveland area. Highly recommended! Pictured are Nama Sake (Salmon), Maguro (Tuna), and Unagi (Eel) sushi (Nigiri). Agedashi Tofu, and Japanese Chicken Curry. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely go again.
We have been regulars of this wonderful restaurant for years! Not only is the sushi fresh and beautifully prepared, the appetizers are amazing! The staff is top notch and very friendly and courteous. There is a BYOB policy and it is easy to talk because the restaurant is quietly playing music rather than blasting it like most places. We always try to bring different friends to try this wonderful restaurant and everyone has loved it. It is our favorite restaurant in Cleveland!
Family-owned establishment. The menu has many options, from sushi, noodles, stir fry, seafood, and more. Generous portions, reasonable prices, and delicious food. Try the udon.

Food was phenomenal. Had the chicken curry and some sushi. Definitely highly recommend.
True authentic Japanese cuisine. I will most definitely be coming back. Staff was kind, food was great, and there is a lot left to explore on the menu. They also are one of very few places to sell dishes like Zara Soba and Goma Ae
