Kintaro All You Can Eat Sushi & Hot Pot in Akron

I've been going to this franchise for a few years now and it's pretty good for what the area has to offer in Northeastern Ohio. However, I came here with my family recently and Sichuan soup base left a bad taste in my mouth (literally)! I always order the Sichuan soup base and it's normally pretty good, but the this time there was a sour aftertaste almost like it was expired and not how normal spicy (malaa) hot base is supposed to taste. We hated to be a "Karen" but we told one of the servants to let him know and he was being really territorial and rude about it even though we were really nice. Not sure if I want to come back here after this unfortunate event :( if you want an authentic Chinese hotpot experience, this is not...

Our visit here was such a pleasant surprise. I have to say I didn't expect much from a strip- mall restaurant, but I was happy to be wrong. We just ordered takeout, but will certainly be coming back for more. The quality of food was great for moderate pricing. The service was excellent. The restaurant (at least the waiting area) was clean.

This place really disappointed me. I eat sushi once a week and this place was not what I hoped for. I ordered an avocado salad. It was literally 4 slices of avocado w soy sauce!?!? What a cartoon, I also ordered Kani salad, the portion was tiny and it tasted disgusting and inedible, There sushi was average at best. The atmosphere was not bad,  the service was decent but the food is Mediocre and I do not see myself going there again.
