Otani Japanese Restaurant: About Us

Otani Japanese Restaurant was the first sushi bar in Cleveland that opened in 1978. Our Japanese flavor has been statue set for more than 35 years in Golden Gate Plaza, Mayfield Height; then, our flavor wafted to another location in Hudson. Eating at Otani gives you the unique dining experience in a Zen atmosphere. You can choose to seat at an individual table or a traditional tatami (floor seats) for tasting our mouth watering sushi and sashimi or seat at the Hibachi dining area to see how your food to be cooked by our skillful experience and fun chefs.
Our “Half Price” period nights for Hibachi on Tuesday, Sushi on Wednesday and Drinks on Thursday; sent shock waves around Cleveland. These offers have been drawing crowds to us and have become a benchmark business model for many competitors to follow.
Moving forward, Otani will continue to its commitment of delivering a never ending thirst to be the “Best” to the community. This will always be our goal and the endless journey of forever better.
