boosted98gst Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I cant believe so many people spelled Akai Hana wrong. (used to be called restaurant japan) Nonetheless Akai Hana is one of the best sushi place in town. But if I want some straight up sashimi, I go to tensuke market and get some. its because the new owners are not japanese I think they are korean. I asked the guy why they named it with "akai" hana and he said because of a restraunt chain in california. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's still Sushi. Sushi refers to the vinegared rice. Sashmi is the raw fish all by itself with no rice. The difference is that the ones with the fish on top are called Nigiri or Nigirizushi. The rolls are Maki or Makizushi. Interesting fact: Sushi was originally Japanese fast-food for the working-class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaewsky1 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Edamame at Easton is owned by Asian Gourmet. Kind of like a fast food sushi, grill place. Pretty good the one time I ate there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 If you are looking for really really good sushi and be willing to spend the money for it. Benihana at Polaris has a good selection. They also have All you can eat sushi for $26. Oh Snap!!! I am so going to hit that up one day.

evan9381 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 if the food at edamame is like asian gourmet, i will check that off my list of places to go went to akai hana tonight. holy fuck it was good. got some of the gyoza (?) dumplings, fried...was good. also has salmon/avocado/cream cheese roll - $5.50, buckeye roll (sweet potato tempura, eel, and something else), $9.25ish, that was REALLY good, and also got yellow tail $5.... it was all amazingly good. ill go back, but probably not as often since sapporo is closer and just about as good good reccomendation though. i give it a 8.5/10. slow service (sat there for probably 10 minutes before anyone came up to take our drink order), and took a while for the food to come out.

Putty Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Edamame I eat twice a week. Good sushi takeout, made to order. Gotta try pineapple chicken...Holy fuck it's good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Melanie Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Went to Yoshi's last night. Tasty. A ton of Asians were there so they liked it... Good sign. Anyone else eaten there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Doc and I agree that Yoshi's off Frantz Rd. has the best sushi anywhere that we've ever been.. hands down. Matter of fact, I ate there last night. It's always crowded late. 5-6 p.m. is a good time because it is usually pretty empty. There's a dining room in the back that's pretty much Japanese patrons only. Last night there was a company party, which made things even busier. I can't see you eating better sushi for the price. Yoshi himself is the sushi chef, and he's a perfectionist. All this talk about sushi, when is CR going to do a sushi meet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I've always thought that Akai tasted better than Sapporo in Westerville. We used to eat there all the time when I went to Otterbein, and Sapporo was the first place I had sushi, and I was never really that into it. The first time I went to Akai, it hooked me on sushi.

Maybe a few people have some problems with poor service there ? I'd still be willing to try it. I'm also fine with introducing folks to Yoshi's, but as I mentioned above, it's crowded late. Make a sushi meet thread, and I'll attend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting fact: Sushi was originally Japanese fast-food for the working-class. It still is, just not in the united states much, I still use a bento box everyday for lunch with some type of "sushi" for lunch. Dont get me wrong I love all types of food usually on my days off. The days I work its mostly japanese because thats easy for me or my girlfriend to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 If you guys go out and get sushi some time this week, Go out and try something on the menu you never had. TRY the sea urchent its expensive but its weird and yet very good all in one. Only down side is its almost 6 bucks a peice. Either way if you guys want to try good BEEF akai hana is the only place in ohio that serves real Wagyū beef that is imported fresh, if you think Amercian beef is good you should give it a try. I know its expensive but its well worth it, if you have the extra cash to blow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 meant to update this a while ago...went back to akai hana with the g/f and her family (sister, sisters b/f and friend, and mom). funny that we actually got food a little quicker than when it was just the 2 of us. g/fs mom is a really picky eater, so i was surprised she even went...ordered some pork cutlet, so i cant really say she tried anything new, and the g/fs sister and her friend had chicken teriyake and the b/f had teriyake salmon. next time im not taking everyone out to an asian joint if they're going to eat shit i can get at applebees for half as much. although, for 6 people to eat, it was $150 with tip, so i didnt think it was too bad. sushi was pretty good again. one of my rolls the rice was a little dry, but i still filled up. ate a salmon roll w/ avocado and cream cheese, a yellow tail roll, buckeye roll, and the few pieces of salmon roll and buckeye roll my g/f didnt eat. i was STUFFED. gonna have to try this yoshi's place..

AWW$HEEET Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I still contend that Blue Ginger is the best Sushi place in the Dublin area. I had some very good rolls there as of late, including some spicy tuna, salmon, and other fish rolls. I would def. recommend it, especially for the Sushi advocate who has a non Sushi eating significant other. They make the best "chinese" food I've had in the central Ohio area. I would vote Blue Ginger tied for first with Asian Gourmet, and third place goes to PF Changs, for Chinese food restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I think CR's about due for another Sushi raid--this time at Yoshi's. Suggested days/times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I think CR's about due for another Sushi raid--this time at Yoshi's. Suggested days/times? I'll try to keep my eyes peeled for ths so I don't miss it again. I went to Yoshi's with some friends who really enjoy Japanese food. I think I find Akai Hana's sushi more to my liking. But any chef can have a bad day, so I won't write off Yoshi's. My friends on the other hand were blown away by the food and loved Yoshi's. So I'll likely be going back there again.
