On our way back to Toledo from a great trip to visit Ohio caverns. Almost passing Findlay then we are decided to have a Japanese for our dinner. My friend knew a restaurant name Japan West is run by Japanese so we went there for...a authentic meal. Service is impeccable, but our meals! We had some appetizers: deep fried oysters( too dry),grill large squid (ok!) and seafood pancake ( good). Pork cutlet curry rice is fair, the sushi and rolls hadn’t have any outstanding but the price- wooooo.More

If I'm going to get Sushi, I get it here, it tastes fresh. There are sometimes good things on special and plenty of other Japanese cuisine to choose from. Love also getting exclusive Dietsch's ginger or green tea ice cream! Peter has been an awesome...waiter!More

I have eaten here several times since moving to Findlay. I definitely recommend it. The sushi is always fresh, the short rib appetizer is phenomenal. And the restaurant is always busy.... A great sign of good food

Japan West is, in my opinion, downtown Findlay's best restaurant. I do not eat sushi, but my son and his girlfriend love the sushi. My friends who are Japanese all like to eat at Japan West, and we love to have celebration meals there. Don't...miss out on eating here!More

Stopped in for sushi and got right in. Very good service. Edamame, tempura and sushi was very good. Good friendly service.

We recently celebrated our anniversary and decided we would visit Japan West here in Findlay, OH to celebrate. This was our first visit. Japan West is located on Main St. Driving by, it always seemed a small place. However, once we got inside found that...the majority of the floor space located in the back contains the hibachi tables which we had no clue about. Don't know if you can just walk in for the hibachi service. Probably would be best to call ahead about that. We waited for a few minutes at the doorway and then were seated. Seemed they were short-staffed that night. Since it was a weekday in the holiday season, it didn't bother us. The wine list was unexceptional and looked like they have limited bar service. I wished they would have offered sake or other oriental drinks. We're always game to try something different. We both ordered a pinot noir. We ordered pork dumplings for an appetizer. They were very good -- juicy and not "doughy". I ordered several pieces of nigiri sushi. It tasted fresh and flavorful. Can't remember what we ordered for the main course was named but my wife's entree was essential a duck hot pot. I had shrimp with rice. It all was delicious. We passed on dessert. Overall, it was a good experience. Our waiter was not very talkative and seemed rushed. Food was good. However, our waiter's attitude put a damper on our enjoyment. We will return to try some of the other offerings and see if the service is any better.More

Great place to stop with friends or for a business meeting. The sushi is as good as you will find anywhere in the US.

Excellent place to go for a small business dinner. The sushi is great and the hibachi table is always fun!

We visited Japan West for the first time last week. There is a sit-down restaurant and sushi bar in the front when you walk in, but you can also sit down at a hibachi grill in the next room. As we waited for our chef,...we ordered Japanese beer on draft which was very good. There are lots of choices, but I opted for a mixed grill of chicken and scallops. John was our chef, and he was great. I asked him if he learned in Japan, but he told us that he originally learned from the Japanese in Detroit when the Japanese automakers came over. John has been with Japan West for 24 years now, and he is extremely interesting. We started with vegetables which were excellent. Then we had our meats, and finally our garlic fried rice which was very tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We would definitely return for a visit. I would love to try the sushi!More

We ate here on Saturday night. We didn’t have reservations so we sat in the front area. We had sushi and appetizers. All were very good and tastes fresh. Our server was very good but he was to busy for all the customers he was...taking care of.More

Great decor and atmosphere, Higher style place. Excellent Hibachi. The ribeye was very good as well as the other dishes, the cook handled my shellfish allergy while still getting others their shrimp and scallops. I really wish I could tried the scallops they looked amazing.
