Editorial Review for Shuhei Hibachi – by John Hyduk
The Scene
When Hiroshi Tsuji premiered his first Shuhei Japanese restaurant, it was hailed by aficionados of the raw and uncooked as a bold, masterful mecca for the sophisticated wasabi demographic. Now comes his sequel.
It's hard not to feel like a feudal warlord when you're tucked into a brazier table in the center of the spare, elegant dining room (and, once you've taken on the protein load of a prime rib teriyaki--or the thinly sliced Kobe Yakiniku strip steak--it's easy to eat like one.) An upscale crowd, wearing silks and cell phones instead of kimonos and Samurai swords, likes to find their favorite seats and banter with the solicitous staff.
The Food
Sushi master Hiroshi Tsuji, the sashimi method man, can still stuff a crab roll with the proverbial hand tucked behind his apron strings. Those that elbow up to the sushi bar will find that the raw fish and sticky rice rolls that made Hiroshi famous are still up to snuff. You can skip some of the more export-friendly creations like the California sushi roll that uses imitation crabmeat. The real sizzle can be found at the intersection of cow flesh and flame. The chickens of the sea swear by the Nagano filet, with the juicy tenderloin cut into stir-fry ready cubes, a real major meat mojo.
The Drinks
Wash it down with a frosty Japanese beer or several. The green tea comes later. After which, you'll be riding a rosy protein high and ready to wax poetic. A little haiku? Highly cool.

If you are looking for a sushi place that offers awesome service and fantastic food, AKIRA HIBACHI in Solon is not the place! Not once in my life have i ever encountered such a rude manager. She informed us that we were not allowed to order specific things on their generic and small menu. I was in a group of 8 people, who made reservations 2 weeks in advance, and it was upsetting to not be able to be satisfied at all. Being told that you are only allowed to order full meals for each person is crazy (if a customer doesn't order an entire meal, then they have to pay a $10 sitting charge!!!) I would never recommend this restaurant. The arrogant and rude owner doesn't know how to run a business or how to treat patrons correctly!
Pros: None
Cons: SERVICE!!!
