I have eaten at Japan West four times now. Overall food quality and presentation is very good to excellent. Great for Findlay and certainly better than the Tokyo Japanese restaurant at the Findlay mall. They even have Green Tea and Ginger Ice Cream made exclusively by Dietch's, a well known local ice cream shop. <br> I have had problems more recently, though. They got a new manager that is asian and it is OBVIOUS he caters to asian clientle over anyone else. They will wait hand and foot for them but rarely come back to other tables. This same manager refused to do take-out on the ice cream for me even though the menu says take-out available; he said he had no containers on two occasions but they have containers for left overs!!! Also they offered Kobe steak late last year for a couple months and I was excited to finally try it. My mom and I paid $50 each for them and got some of the fattiest steak I have had yet. I was VERY disappointed but a call to the manager I mentioned above didn't even get an "I'm sorry" or a call back he promised. Therefore they have LOST my business and the reason for the average rating. Be warned! less

This place is super expensive, but if you like Japanese food in a small college town, this place is for you. I was a little iffy about coming here because I had never had sushi. It was really good. The chefs kind of got on my nerves. Some of them are corny and fake in the presentation. Once is probably enough for me at this place, but the food was good, so if you like this kind of thing, check it out less

For Ohio, this isn't a bad Japanese restaurant. I only ate sushi....it was fresh and reasonably priced. The presentation was acceptable but not the best. Some of the nigiri-sushi was sloppy in appearance but tasted just great. I'm not a tepanyaki fan, but it looked like folks were enjoying themselves. I'm going again tomorrow...the regular sushi chef is back. Perhaps the presentation will be better. less
