Shinano Sushi Bar & Japanese Cuisine

Love coming to this sushi place. Very casual environment but high quality food. The service is always friendly and remembers me coming in before. BYOB but makes it cheaper so that's great.

I'm from Japan and this is probably the best Japanese food in Cleveland. It's better than Shuhei (2nd best) and everything else in Cleveland isn't real Japanese food/isn't ran by Japanese ppl. Would recommend for the food!

My favorite restaurant in the Cleveland area. I'd be devastated if they closed even temporarily. It's a hidden gem that's not even located in a large city.

You can't go wrong with whatever you order. Their sushi and appetizers are all delicious and the presentation is beautiful. All their staff, most importantly their sushi chefs, are mostly Japanese. The wait staff are polite and the prices are fair. Even if they raised prices, I'd happily pay the extra just to dine here again.

Celebrating a big birthday for my mom this weekend and the staff was super supportive and accommodating of our ten person party. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the food was excellent as always and the service impeccable!

Food is good, bathrooms are clean but the tables being sticky is really annoying.

Waiters are attentive, i like that its a quiet and spaciois place where you can hear yourself talk.

Shinano Sushi Bar & Japanese Restaurant is an understated masterpiece. No heavy ornamented pictures on the walls and no Koi in a pool or the like.

It simply concentrates its art to
meticulous attention to detail and the delicate blending of flavors.

My wife and I, culinary identical twins, always order the same thing. We decided upon the Bento Box with the tempura chicken and shrimp tempura combo.

Our bubbly, courteous waitress was a bundle of enthusiasm. The lemonade was there in a flash, followed by a delicious Wonton Ko soup. Besides setting up your stomach, a poorly constructed soup can sour the mood.

Most astounding was the portion of the box. Artistically laid out in the limiting confines of the box, you are delighted with a Japanese smorgasbord, excuse the strained metaphor, but your taste buds will forget the semantic faux pas and applaud the chef.

I bet you can't eat it all and you'll make the waitress pack it all up for tomorrow's supper. It's that good!!

Walking to pay your reasonable bill, it's nice to have neighborly "Goodbye" by the owner. Real small town warmth with "You'al come back... You hear?!!!
Back again.... We never really left!

I continue to really love this place. The staff is ultra friendly, food is super fresh, and the flavors are just right on point. The value is good with ample portions. Excellent sushi!

Glad we have something like this in Solon but it could be better. I've gotten takeout from here as well as dine-in so can speak to both. Quality of food is good, decor is nice and staff is friendly. The speed of service and attentiveness can majorly use improvement. My date called to make a reservation for a certain time. We arrived at that time and proceeded to have to wait a whole 40 minutes. We were tired and hungry and resigned to just stick to this place but I was so tempted to just edge into Lee's Seafood Boil next door by the 30 minute mark. While the owner was nice about it, there were no updates about getting seated and I saw empty seats available! Even after we were finally seated, our server (again, while nice...) was really slow and fussed about things that didn't need to be fussed about.
Taste was good and presentation was beautiful but prices are so high for what you get. The softshell crab app that is definitely delicious is only a morsel and I felt embarrassed at how it looked on a plate. Glad I tried this place but I won't be back.

I loved this restaurant when I lived in Solon. I have been a customer since they where by the Richmond Mall long time ago. The owners are so nice. Best sushi around. Great Bento Boxes. And great authentic Japanese food. I always go when I'm in the area. Yummy !!! Highly recommend

I stopped by this place based on teh reviews.

The salmon lunch was good. I asked for medium rare but the salmon was a bit raw. They did offer to cook it further.

The best dish is the unagi.

The first thing when you sit down, they will ask if you like a drink. I asked for water but was not informed that there is a $3 charge.

I wasn't happy that they charged me $3 for a cup of warm water which I didn't even touch. They removed it after I highlighted it.

But....it leaves a bit of of dent and impression I have on this place.
