Craving Japanese food?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable Japanese restaurants around Cleveland, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to meet your needs.
1. Mason's Creamery
Topping the list is Mason's Creamery. Located at 4401 Bridge Ave. in Detroit Shoreway, the food stand, which offers ramen, ice cream and frozen yogurt, is the highest-rated affordable Japanese restaurant in Cleveland, boasting 4.5 stars out of 219 reviews on Yelp.
Mason's is unique in that it operates as a ramen shop in the winter months but then transitions to an ice cream and frozen yogurt shop once the warmer weather arrives, traditionally in April.
2. Kenko Sushi & Teriyaki
Next up is University District's Kenko Sushi & Teriyaki, situated at 11312 Euclid Ave. With four stars out of 132 reviews on Yelp, the Japanese and Asian fusion spot and sushi bar has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a low-priced option.
The word "kenko" means "health" in Japanese, and this restaurant touts its mission as to "provide fast and healthy dining options to consumers." In addition to sushi and teriyaki, Kenko offers appetizers, soups, poke and bubble tea.
3. Sakura
Last but not least, downtown Cleveland's Sakura, located at 530 Euclid Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the low-priced Japanese and Chinese spot and sushi bar four stars out of 13 reviews.
Yelpers enjoy the variety of sushi and hibachi-style meals offered on the menu. Other tasty options in the shrimp and broccoli with steamed rice and the mushroom chicken.
