Andy, You are talking about Tuna Yukee. The sauce that they used is the same sauce they use on the Conch and Kimchee. NIkko's is still my favorite and is very cheap. Two can eat a feast there with excessive liquor for under $100.

I'd recommend avoiding the FUGU. Very expensive and rather deadly if not prepared correctly.

FUBU, on the other hand is quite nice; albeit inappropriate for white people.

Some prefer BUFU.......my wife won't let me try it though.

Like my BUFU raw...

I wouln't eat sushi for the first time in Medina, Ohio. I recommend "Sushi Rock" in downtown Cleveland, a little pricey, but you'll definetly know were your money went. Also there is a sushi place closer to Medina with an actual sushi bar and Japanese chefs called ****o Japanese Steak House and Sushi.

I wouldn't eat sushi for the first time in Medina Ohio at the House of Hunan. If you want high quality sushi (without the $$$) in the Cleveland area, try "Shinto Japanese Steak House and Sushi" in Strongsville (right on Rte 42) or "Sushi Rock" in downtown Cleveland (2 blocks North of "the Jake").

I lived in Brunswick for a few years and now I live in Japan, the sushi in both of these restaurants is comparable to eating the sushi in Japan.

I believe the House of Hunan is Chinese and the experience just wouldn't be the same, kind of like eating at the House of Pearl in Brunswick.

I love sushi too - Fatty toro sashimi is a fave of mine. Best I've had was at Nobu (Next Door) in NYC, where it is prepared with thin slices of jalepeno's on each piece of toro.

Thanks - next time I'm in Cleveland (hometown!), I will have to try the above mentioned.

I like Yucky Tuna!

Jseeds, if you like Nobu, you will probably like Japonica, it's on 12th street and University place (Near union square park)

Big Ugly,

I know exactly where you are talking about in-between Brunswick and Strongsville. I will go there before House of Hunan.

Brunswick is growing like Strongsville. Center Road has become a pain in the butt with the traffic. I stay on Laurel Road (from Carpenter) because 303 takes forever to get to Pearl Rd.

Michael,

I know exactly where you are, I lived right on N. Carpenter Rd, down the street from Giant Eagle and Starbucks. The "Shinto Japanese Steak House and Sushi" in Strongsville is pretty awesome, it has the Japanese chefs who cook steak, shrimp, and lobster right at your table as well as a sushi bar with all the fixins', not to mention a great beer and sake menu.

Enjoy, and let me know how it turns out for you,

Go Indians!!!

Hey Bass -

I may be in St. Louis the second week of May. I love sushi and will have to try this place.

Ever tried Harry's crab encrusted salman? Mmmmm
