Ohashi

The sushi is awesome. Authentic & delicious. You don’t go for the ambiance (it’s in a strip mall like setting) but you will love the food!

The service here is incredible! The sushi chef is very friendly and a seriously gifted artist in his craft. It’s always exciting to branch out and try something new at every visit. The atmosphere is casual but the presentation of the food is like eating at a 5 star resturant. The quality of the fish is amazing! M-​F they have half price sushi rolls at a certain time. Definitely try this place if your looking for a great place to eat and you love sushi and udon.

My fiancé and I recently moved back to the Cleveland area from Cincinnati and have been looking for some staple Cleveland sushi/​Asian restaurants. This place IS NOT one that we will ever bother returning to. Ohashi is Over priced, bland, and you get Small portions with barely any vegetables. I just feel so annoyed that, everything on the menu is so overpriced and I paid for it thinking it must be really good and have plenty for leftovers… No. If you like $ 16.00+ entrees of white rice and a few tempura shrimp/​veggies then maybe you would be satisfied. Basic sushi roll ranges from $ 6-​$ 8.00 for 6 measly pieces and literally only filled with crab and surrounded with rice, no veggies or toppings. The taste of the food was fine. But NOT worth it. I completely agree with the guy below who says this isn’t LA people its North Olmsted Ohio.

I agree with previous reviews that the sushi portions are tiny and prices on the high side. Quality was ok — nothing special. What really inspired me to write this was the — I am assuming — owner — he never smiled, said «hello» or made any eye-​contact. He looked miserable. I’m sorry, but when two people, spending money, being polite and thankful, are sitting in front of you — you should probably act appreciative. WOW. This dude needs a new gig!

This is a Tale of Two Sushi Restaurants — one serving fresh reasonably priced sushi lunch specials mid day, and one serving fresh but grossly overpriced and undersized items at dinner. The problem is… it’s the same place.
I’ve eaten lunch here probably 10 times over the last few years and was well pleased with the selection, price, portion size, and service. So when I was in the area overnight last night I decided to go here for dinner, and it was like being in an episode of ‘Honey, I shrunk the sushi’. I couldn’t believe how small the nigiri and rolls became after 5pm. The pricing for 4 single pieces of nigiri and one small roll came to $ 30. This isn’t LA folks, it’s Olmsted OH — my expense account can’t take this.
Moral of this tale — come here for lunch and find someplace else for dinner.
Normally a review like this would merit 2 stars, but I’ve given it 3 because everything I’ve ever had here is fresh the the service is consistently prompt and friendly.

Nice, quiet, small place tucked away behind Fatheads in a shopping center. Outward appearance isn’t impressive… but the sushi is probably the best you’ll find in Cleveland. Quality food, great service.

Maybe I’ve been unlucky but both times I’ve gone to Ohashi the servings were super small compared to other sushi places I’ve been and priced much higher. Like I mean super expensive for what you get. The tables simply had white paper on them if atmosphere is something you are after. It took forever to get refills on our drinks and just as long for the food to arrive (even though there were only 2 other couples there at the time). I recommend going to Daishin shushi instead. It tastes just as good but you get way more for your money and the atmosphere is way better.

I travel all over the country on business so I saw the numerous positive reviews here and decided to stop in. What I found here is very small Negri pieces that are overpriced. Service was good but can’t make up for the tiny pieces and high prices.

The best sushi in all of the west side. Happy hour 5 – 6 cuts down on the cost some. All the ingredients are fresh, really fresh. They could buy some new chairs or chair pads. They are a bit uncomfortable. Service sometimes leaves something to be desired.

Wish I could rate the food. Apparently they close at 2:30PM, and if you arrive at 2:10PM you will not be permitted to eat. The woman I spoke with didn’t seem to care that my girlfriend and I made a special trip to North Olmsted just to try their sushi, nor that we offerred to take any remaining sushi «to go» promptly at 2:30PM. Like the Jovial Buddha, she simply smiled and gestured toward the door.

I am a big fan of Ohashi. And this is Unilocal – so let me tell you why!
1) They’re open on Mondays. I know that’s a strange thing to say but many Cleveland-​area Asian restaurants are closed Mondays – and for some strange reason, I crave sushi on that very day.
2) Their rolls are THE PERFECT size for optimal flavor and consumption experience. Translation: not so dayum huge that I have to unhinge my jaw and chew for 8 years to eat them. I’m all about getting more bang for my buck, but not when it comes to compromising the delicate taste balance of a damn good sushi roll. Too much rice and it’s no bueno. Too huge and I’m gnawing on single ingredients on one side of my mouth while the rest of the it squeezed into the cheek on the other side. Gross.
3) Taste and selection. They have fresh fish and ingredients. Plus, they have special rolls that I would drive out of my way for (and I do.)
My latest experience was a great one filled with Kani Su (imitation crab and avocado wrapped in thin sliced of cucumber, served in a rice wine vinaigrette) and properly prepared edamame to start. We then followed up with a lighter, special requested roll of tuna, avocado and cucumber. And indulged with their special Red Dragon and Fire Mountain rolls – both spicy and sinfully good.
Overall I think their sushi is slightly over-​priced, but that doesn’t keep me from coming back for more. And now that some of our awesome Unilocalers have clued me in to their happy hour prices, I think I might need to time my next visit juuuust right.

This place has been one of my favorites for years. Very consistant. Clean atmosphere and conformable. Maybe could use new chairs. But sushi is great. Also prices are good for Ohio. All good here

Best sushi in the Cleveland Metro Area – hands down. I have been all over Cleveland and the best I’ve found is ‘okay’ sushi – even at some of the places that Clevelanders rave about. But every time I come here I know I’m going to be happy and get a really good product.
I think I’ve maybe ordered 15 – 20 of their rolls now. I’ve found my favorites though and I tend to stick to these: philly, pretty woman, red dragon and the coma roll. The Philly – while found elsewhere, is especially good here. And the Coma roll is to die for – oh my goodness.
I’ve also had their tempura and gyoza here and those are really well done. One of my dining companions said it was the best tempura he’s ever had – and with a couple exceptions in California, I agree.
You will not be disappointed if you come here. It has my stamp of approval! (For however much that is worth…)

We love this place — it’s the best sushi we’ve had on the west side and the service is very good. The Jackie Roll is excellent!!!

Tried out this Korean-​owned Japanese restaurant to introduce a relative to Japanese cuisine, also because of the Unilocal rating and a severe hankering for a nice Japanese meal after recently returning from several years living in the country — walked out with very mixed feelings.
What we ordered: Tonkatsu set meal w/​miso soup and salad, inarizushi, house warmed sake, and yaki udon.
Tonkatsu was quite decent and actually comes with two cutlets instead of one. Miso soup wasn’t bad either.
Inarizushi was small and lacked anything more than a simple rice filling, but it was quite delicious. The tiny Korea-​centric grocer next to the restaurant sells cans of the inari tofu pockets, I wonder if they simply use that.
Warmed house sake was really, really good. Perfect winter treat.
The Yaki Udon was revolting, as oily as poorly done Chinese food and ludicrously expensive ($ 14!!). The noodles themselves had a pleasant consistency, but I’m pretty sure the chef just bathed them in oil and a drop of Giant Eagle Teriyaki Sauce, mixing some mushrooms and onions in for the hell of it. It was really too bad and having such a terrible, overpriced entrée really ruined the experience.
I was curious to try one of their Donburis but after the udon experience I’d be reluctant to go again for anything more than the sushi bar

Super yummy sushi. Went for a late lunch with my Mom. She ordered the sushi/​sashimi combo and I ordered the sashimi bento plus an order of uni. All sushi was fresh but uni was just ok (hence the 4 stars — I love uni).
Service was friendly and restaurant was clean.
Will def come back.

After reading all the awesome reviews I wanted to check this place out. I usually go to Sakura in Strongsville and it never disappoints. The staff here was awesome! Very nice and prompt. The food? Awful… I’m hoping I just went on an off night. With all the good reviews I’m guessing I got old sushi or the other people reviewing this place has no idea what good sushi is
I think I’ll pass on this place next time

Go for happy hour, 5 – 6 every weekday. I’ve been probably a half dozen times over the years and have never been disappointed. The place is quiet and the servers are so sweet. I kind of want one of their «Eat Sushi at Ohashi» shirts. I wish the wasabi had a bit more kick to it, but the sauces are flavorful. The mushroom miso soup is tasty too — the mushrooms are fresh, not slimy.

Definitely a quiet place. We walked in at 5:30 and were seated next to the only other couple in an otherwise empty dining room. Slightly awkward but oh well, on to the sushi…
5pm-​6pm is half off select rolls and well worth it. Ordered three separate rolls (Philly, Manhattan, and Hot Mama). All delicious. Our total was about 11 bucks. If you can make it at this hour I highly recommend.

I ordered three rolls for take out recently: spicy tuna, green dragon and kanpai roll. I thought the quality was decent. I didn’t have any complaints but wasn’t blown away. I’m not saying size is equivalent to quality, but I found the rolls to be smaller than I’ve had elsewhere.
I liked the level of heat in the spicy tuna roll and enjoyed the flavors and textures in the kanpai roll.
I’ll try it again, but until I do I’ll stick with Mizu as my go to sushi joint.
