Sushi Kuwahata

Summary: Visited during a trip home to see my parents. I live in San Francisco and have traveled to Japan multiple times... This was truly the most exceptional omakase I have had anywhere in the world. Every detail has been planned and executed to the highest degree of excellence. To have this kind of experience anywhere would be a treat but to have it in Cleveland is an incredible luxury. A must visit. Details: Space - Absolutely stunning, intimate space with incredibly beautiful, traditional Japanese finishes. The wood counter is so soft you could rub your face against it. Food - Beyond all expectations. Careful selection of the best ingredients, a fanatical fixation on flawless execution, and undeniable skill, all really add up to something special here. The use of unique tech

An Omakase Experience Worth Repeating Sushi Kuwahata offers a top-tier omakase experience from start to finish. We booked all 8 seats and Kwan was incredibly accommodating in getting everything arranged, even before we got there. The ambience is understated and intimate, which allowed the focus to remain on the food. The service was excellent—the staff is amazing, it felt personal and was exceptional. The meal was just a work of art and watching Chef Kwan work was mesmerizing. The quality of the food, especially the fish, was outstanding. The careful preparation was obvious in every bite, and it was hard not to just say “wow” with each new course. To go along with the food, they have an impressive sake collection. The recommendations from the staff on sake selections were perfect. Over

Wasn’t sure what we were expecting for the newly opened omakase experience here in Cleveland, but we were pleasantly surprised. Yes it is steep, but you are getting amazing quality food with a huge variety. You can taste the freshness of all of the ingredients which are most if not all sourced directly from Japan, including all of the utensils, dishware and even the hinoki wood counter you are dining on. My husband and I will definitely come back and are so excited to have a legitimate sushi restaurant in Cleveland. Overall it was a 4.8/5, definitely on par with sushi we’ve had in NYC and Japan, and we can’t wait to come back :)

I do not have a lot of experience eating nigiri and sashimi and was concerned that I might not be adventurous enough for an omakase experience. But I trust Chefs Kwan and Ryan fully, and they did not disappoint! I loved being in an intimate space able to watch true masters who are passionate about providing an exceptional guest experience. Each bite was meticulously crafted and exquisitely flavorful. Service is warm but crisp and perfect. Every detail of the omakase space and the waiting area is thoughtfully curated. I may not have omakase experience, but I have had the opportunity to dine at multiple one, two and three Michelin star restaurants, and can say unequivocally that this is a Michelin star experience. I would definitely go again.

Hands down, the BEST Edomae-style Omakase in Ohio City! 🍣👌 If you're a sushi lover, YOU MUST TRY! Each piece of nigiri is crafted with love ,care, and all the fish was very fresh making every bite WORTHY OF TRYING! 🙌 Not only is the food phenomenal, but the chefs are also super humble and friendly! 😊👍 Highly recommend!
