It’s been more than a year since Kintaro announced its plans to open a new location in Woodmere. Well, the long wait is over for fans of this popular all-you-can-eat hot pot and sushi restaurant. Kintaro (27091 Chagrin Blvd., 216-245-6014) officially opens today in the former home of Corky & Lenny’s at the Village Square shopping plaza.

Owner Zhixin Lu opened the first Kintaro (7325 North Cliff Ave.) at Ridge Park Square in Brooklyn back in 2016. Next up was Fairview Park (3111 Westgate Mall), which opened in 2019. 

Since those early days, Kintaro has gone on to add locations in West Park (3364 Warren Rd.), Willowick (33550 Vine St.) and Akron (4054 Medina Rd.). The secret to the local restaurant group’s success is a menu that offers unlimited sushi and hot pot, both at qualities that far exceed their price tags.

From now through November 20, the restaurant is offering a variety of grand opening discounts.
