Shinto Japanese Steakhouse And Sushi -westlake

Hibachi is fun in general. Shinto does hibachi very well. The Westlake location took over a spot that was fairly well placed, but never able to quite get off the ground (RIP Miami Nights). The food is really good, as you'd expect from agrill-in-front-of-you place, and all the chefs follow the standard Hibachi Chef trope, are funny and entertaining. The cocktailsstand out. Shinto isn't the only option for hibachi locally, but it is the best. It reminds me of the kind of touristdestination restaurant you might find at Disney Springs or Myrtle Beach; unfortunately with prices to match. Don't expect aninexpensive meal here, but remember you're paying for an experience. When we went it was 17 degrees outside. That's the kind ofweather that would usually want to make you get on a flight headed south. Since we couldn't leave town, Shinto made us feel likewe did. And that was worth it.

Awesome experience!!! This was the best hibachi I've been to in a while! Our cook was hilarious. I believe is name was Jake... either way we had a blast for the time we were there. They were extremely short staffed but we still enjoyed our time there andlaughed from the time the cook got there until we left. Hands down recommend shinto. We will drive the 40 mins again to eat!

I went to Shintos over the weekend and had a great time. The hibachi was so fun and delicious! I really enjoyed the tempura ice cream.

Changing my review from a year ago Prevent, service was absolutely awful, they didn't honor specials and sushi came out like it was thrown down without a care. After a year of ONLY going to Strongsville we came back and it was literally 100x better than what it was. Mason our server was great, sushi looked incredible, and tasted just as good. We had SEVERAL bad experiences previously but now we'll absolutely come back, especially being right down the road. They have definitely caught up to Strongsville, hope they keep it up!

Had dinner at the bar. Not a unusually busy evening at the bar, dining room was full as usual. Disappointed at the bar service. Bar staff dressed inappropriately, the entire night they “ stocked the bar”, glassware, and were on their cell phones. Did not check on us when the food was delivered to see if we needed anything. Had to wait for them to make eye contact to ask for the additional items we needed to eat.Love the atmosphere, and it is our go to place for sushi, but not when you are watching them stock the bar the entire time.It would be a much more fun experience if they were engaged in actually “ serving “ the customers. Hope it improves.
