Chinese/Japanese restaurant recommendations? Looking for a place to go this Saturday for my girlfriends birthday. We both really like Joy's, near campus, but I'm looking for something a little nicer. Not too expensive - under $20/person, ideally. We have a car so as long as it's in columbus that's fine. Any suggestions?

People seem to like Akai Hana. I haven't been there, but have been meaning to go. http://www.akaihanaohio.com/dinner/

Akai Hana and the Tenstuke Market are both amazing and reasonably priced. Joey Chang's is also good. Prices are pretty good there, and their sizzling rice soup is amazing!

Japanese depends on your budget. * Cheap: Tensuke * Less cheap: Ba Sho, Akai Hana * More expensive: Yoshi's * Most expensive: Kihachi If you want to do something fun, Ba Sho has sukiyaki for $19/person, or shabu shabu for a bit more.

People have already said "Akai Hana" several times, and I'll voice my assent on that choice. House of Japan does a good job with teppanyaki-style meals. Or you could choose Benihana in Polaris. Hunan House and Hunan Lion are high on my list for "sit-down" Chinese dining, followed by China Dynasty. For quick Chinese food, try Sun Tong Luck on Bethel road. Great quality, big portions, and friendly fast service from one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Blue Top next to Akai Hana and Tensuke is very good Chinese food.
