Very polite crew here. Awesome food.
Colorful atmosphere. They offered me a free hot tea, while I waited at the sushi bar for my to go order.
Highly recommend Otani’s Japanese restaurant!
I would love to recommend the Jalapeno popper sushi roll, White Russian sushi roll, electric eel sushi roll!

I wanted one last visit to my favorite childhood restaurant before they close on March 16th. This place was once the heart of my birthday celebrations, a spot filled with great food and even better memories with my family and my best friend. Unfortunately, my final visit with my best friend was nothing short of heartbreaking.

We were the third table seated at dinner service upon opening, yet we waited three hours for our food. Three hours of watching confusion, disorganization, and diners growing restless, watching tables who sat after us eat and leave before us… When the sushi finally arrived, it was just as good as I remembered—but by then, the experience had already soured.

It’s painful to see a place that once meant so much go out like this. I wish my last memory was one of celebration, not frustration. While I’ll always cherish what this restaurant used to be, it’s clear why it’s closing—because no amount of nostalgia can make up for service this bad.

Had sushi and the quality and service were both very good. The atmosphere was great and this place is overall much better than other places the area I have tried. Get the hot Saki with your meal.

We ate in the hibachi room. The food was delicious. The chef put on a fantastic show. The portions were big. I had the sesame chicken with the fried rice. My husband had the shrimp and scallops dinner. We’ll definitely go back.

Came here with friends recently for hibachi. We’ve come in the past both for sushi and for hibachi and both have been good. This time was no exception – the chef was good natured and cooked us up some great fried rice, veggies, and meats. The steak and scallops were delicious!
I’m not vegan and no one at the table was, but they also appeared to have a pretty robust vegan menu. One friend was vegetarian and the chef made sure to ask several questions to make sure they were okay with egg, butter, etc.

Excellent food. We had it delivered through DoorDash and we received everything we had ordered. We can’t wait to go to the actual restaurant for dinner! Yum! This has to be the best sushi/hibachi we have had in Cleveland so far!

So delicious, the staff was all very friendly and accommodating. This is the only hibachi spot close to us that has a vegan menu, and will be our new go-to. Thanks for helping make a bday celebration special <3

Had to get our sushi fix last Friday! We love the unique specialty rolls Otani has! Right balance of rice, not too big, not too small! We eat at the bar, it’s just our thing! Drink service was slightly slow, but they were busy! Add a couple of Pear Lychee martini’s each and all is good in the world! It’s close to home so it’s our go-to for sushi. Gotta check out the hibachi side sometime soon!

I ordered the chicken teriyaki and because they got rid of the hibachi tables, you don’t see what’s being cooked…there was no mention on the menu of getting a side shrimp. I went to bite in to my chicken and it was shrimp. Luckily I’m not allergic however, I don’t eat seafood and was sick for two days.

Hands down the best sushi in all of northeast ohio. I also spend time in Miami and it’s better than any spot I have tried in Miami for the price. I do not know what they do but their sushi is just delicious and I can’t find it anywhere else. You will not be disappointed. Order the half & half, crazy russian, and crab salad hand rolls.
