Shinto Japanese Steakhouse Restaurant Reviews:

Great sushi in Strongsville July 08, 2007 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        Excellent sushi - firm and exceedingly fresh (more so than a certain trendy downtown establishment). Pricing for the sushi is generally reasonable - cheap for the basics, more pricey for more elaborate. The hibachi is mediocre in terms of quality and more pricey. The host/hostesses are teens who do not have their act together and are a constant source of irritation. The servers are better: friendly and only mildly inattentive. THe manager is great - making the rounds and often providing a free round of drinks to make up for the spotty service. Review By: Tom From Strongsville

Trendy Atmosphere, Decent Sushi May 26, 2007 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        The decor when walking into Shinto can be defined as "Modern Asian". Accents of glass, wood, and shiny stainless steel hibachi tables dominate the initial view. A small sushi dining area is located off to the side, and the sushi bar is standard for those who have seen the likes of one before. Service is always friendly, even though sometimes not immediately attentive. My wife and I prefer sushi to hibachi, so we have only done the hibachi there once. We mainly order a bunch of sushi rolls, about 5 or 6 rolls between the two of us, and miso soup. Pricing is average for sushi - along the lines of most other places we've been to, but the place down the street is slightly cheaper. This is not to say that cheaper is better, though - Shinto definitely beats the place down the street for sushi hands-down. The miso soup leaves a little to be desired, however, as the seaweed is a little mushy and the tofu pieces are rather small. The sushi itself is good, but depending on the roll that is ordered there can sometimes be too much sauce, green onion, or some other flavor that overpowers the rolls. I guess what I am trying to say is that some of the rolls are just a bit off in the flavor balance category. Texture of the rolls, another important category for sushi, is always good. The fish is firm and the rolls are usually rolled just tight enough. There are better sushi places than Shinto as far as the sushi itself is concerned, but there are none better within a 10 mile radius. The atmosphere makes Shinto a good "Date Restaurant".

First Rate in Strongsville! February 05, 2007 Overall        Simple but elegant and upscale decor, wonderful service and delicious sushi and habachi. What more could you want in a restaurant? It's a real treat to have Shinto's in Strongsville. Always a great experience! Review By: Marsha From Strongsville, Ohio

Spiders and Scorpions and Caterpillars, Oh My! December 15, 2006 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        This is some of the best, if not *the* best sushi I've had in the area. The spider roll, scorpion roll and caterpillar rolls are all highly recommended. The presentation is just gorgeous. Plus, they have Chimay Belgian ale, which I've just discovered goes very well with sushi. The room itself is very nice, intimate yet expansive. Review By: zencat From Parma

Amazing! October 26, 2006 Food Service Atmosphere Cleanliness Overall        Wow, I loved this place. Food, awesome! The atmosphere and decor was really great. Helpful friendly attentive waiters. We had hibachi and the chef was great. The food, taste and quality, spectacular, and the chef was entertaining, and very good at what he does. Everything, from drinks and appetizers, to the main course, and soup and salad, to the delicious dessert! Highly recomend. A+ for sure! Review By: Jackie From Seven Hills
