Rindo Japanese - Columbus

Rindo is an authentic Japanese restaurant that offers high-quality sushi, bento boxes, and tempura! The hospitality is outstanding as well. While they still have some room for improvement in their knowledge, that’s understandable since they are a newly opened REAL Japanese restaurant in a small town. The waitstaff is learning gradually. Overall, I am very satisfied and thrilled to have discovered this restaurant close to my hotel!

Without a doubt, this is the best Asian cuisine I’ve experienced in Columbus. The seared tuna was exquisite, and the mochi was a delightful way to finish off a wonderful dinner.

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasantly simple and calming, which I believe is ideal. The wait time for the food to be prepared and served was quite reasonable. While the presentation was modest, creating a truly memorable display is often quite difficult. I dined with a group of four others, and I was pleased with how the food was presented; it complemented the overall ambiance well. From what I gathered, the restaurant was established by a family from abroad who wanted to enjoy authentic cuisine when they visit. The only reason I’m not giving it a full five stars is that I felt something was slightly lacking. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this restaurant!

We tried this restaurant for the first time last week and returned last night. I had sushi one visit and sashimi the next. The fish was exceptional. The tossed salad featured very fresh and crisp greens. I also enjoyed the hijiki salad with one meal and something similar to kombu with the other. It's a brand new establishment, so they are still working out a few details, like finalizing the menu, but it is certainly a great place to dine.

This has quickly become my favorite sushi restaurant. It's the best sushi I've experienced anywhere in the Midwest. The rice is cooked to perfection and has a subtle flavor, while the sashimi is incredibly fresh, served at the ideal temperature that allows you to appreciate the delicate nuances of the fish without any overly fishy taste. I wish I lived closer because I would eat here every day. I truly look forward to returning each time I’m in town for work or passing through on I-65.
