“If you’re looking for top quality sushi in the tri-state, this is it. The freshest salmon I’ve ever had. They use real crab not imitation as a lot of restaurants do. Crab Rangoon is made fresh daily. Never frozen or out of a bag. This is truly the freshest sushi I’ve ever had in all of my travels. My spouse loved the fried rice as a new favorite. We live 500 miles away. EVERYTIME we are in town to see friends and family, we make it a point to come here for dinner. TLDR; best sushi you’re missing out on if you don’t stop by.“

“It’s me, back again to rave again about Kiki. Apparently people usually only leave reviews when they don’t like something, so now every time I leave raving 5 star reviews, I get comments saying I was paid for it 😂 so please know these are my own words and they are not being encouraged by anyone but my tummy. Kiki is my favorite neighborhood spot. It is everything I could want, from ambiance to experience and server interaction to the food. I have a lot of food aversions and pickiness and I have never had anything I disliked or sent back or even wanted to! (I could list my favorites but it would just be everything… but if I have to recommend specifics to a new Kiki-goer; start with the karrage, seaweed salad, Napa Caesar, and the Shio ramen) Every single thing I have had here is delicious, prepared and served with care, and the only negative thing is when they close. I don’t have any food photos to share, but I do have a meme I made out of my love for Kiki. 🫶“

“We were looking for recommendations for lunch after we went to the zoo. We had delivery from this place probably 5 years ago and it was so good. I talked to my friends about revisiting today and boy I'm so glad we did! Not only did we have super size portions, The food was fantastic! I recommend anyone taking a trip to the zoo to check out Ninja grill afterwards for lunch!“

“Jay Jay, you must work for the competition ! I've been a cook over 35 years. There's nothing unusual about the cleanliness that is a usual kitchen. They are not pretending to cook.. They're really making you something.. that makes a little bit of a mess. And a little wear & tear nothing unusual, jay jay, you lying. Food was good and the service was excellent. And they're especially generous, especially compared to the competition nearby.“

“Delicious, good prices, and very friendly and helpful staff (picked up an order during a downpour and one of the ladies working here came out with an umbrella and offered to walk me to my car!). The Cahsew Chicken, Garlic Chicken, and Curry are awesome. Great addition to the neighborhood!“

“I was so happy when I saw you all are on Postmates! I haven't had your food since I stopped working upstairs. Everything was delicious! Thank you!“

“Sake Bomb is a great little Asian Restaurant/Sushi Bar in Erlanger. We've been here a few times but it had been quite a while. They have quite a lot Asian dishes but on this occasion we focused exclusively on the Sushi. Among the one's we had were the Sunday Morning (my personal favourite), fire scallop, and the firecracker among others. They are all visually appealing and absolutely delicious. The chef really took a lot of care crafting flavours into every bite. I really can't recommend their Sushi highly enough. Also I know I mentioned this in earlier reviews but the restaurant looks so magnificent and really authentic to Japanese culture. The seating is very close quarters so I must mention that as it might be off-putting to some. All in all the Sushi was excellent, the service was good, and the place looked awesome. Fantastic experience.“

“The food is always great. They have an all you can eat menu which is nice. I eat here often. 100% recommend 👍🏻“

“Outstanding customer service. Wife and I and 1 year old grandson went to Fuji for wife's birthday dinner. Just as chef starts cooking my grandson gets ill (vomiting). Wife runs him to restroom and I get help from staff for floor. The staff assisted my wife with bringing her warm towels to clean him up bags to put dirty clothes into. Once we got him changed they helped us box our untouched meals and got us the check promptly. The staff went above and beyond to help us get our little guy cleaned and get our food prepped and out the door as we didn't want to upset other guests. My wife ate her meal at home and said it was great.“

“We come here several times a month. The food is delicious and owner goes above and beyond to give us a great experience! My daughter is gluten free, and he makes every effort to bring us items that work for her diet. Worried about dining in during these uncertain times, Park did an amazing job disinfecting and partitioning off tables to keep our experience safe!“

“The spicy chicken stir-fry I got was very, very delicious. Spicy, tangy, sweet, very great. I added a little hot sauce at home. I’ll order it spicy next time.

Pretty restaurant & the people were friendly. It was delicious food & a fun meal.“

“My daughter and mine first time. Nick was sensational. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Food was great and timely. We definitely will be back. Thanks for a great experience“

“My wife and I just discovered a hibachi spot that's lit - Miyako Steakhouse and Sushi! Fair prices, fantastic food, and top-notch entertainment. I mean, it's been ages since I've been to a hibachi that actually entertains. And I'm not just saying that 'cause we had six tiny tornados at our table - every table was getting in on the fun. If you're in Crescent Springs, do yourself a favor and get on down to Miyako Steakhouse & Sushi Bar - it's our new go-to hibachi spot!“

“Amazing Food Tasty Environment Great!!!“

“Today was our first time here and everything was amazing and great price!“

“I have always loved E+O but their costumer service these past few days have been top notch. I made an error when getting an online gift card and Kayla immediately hopped in and solved this issue quickly. I love the food and love the atmosphere!“

“Mindy took excellent care of me and my dining experience this evening- the volcano, rainbow, Sunday morning, tempura rolls & bbq eel and mackerel nigiri all hit the spot with a tall can of Sapporo. 🌈 🍣 🍺“

“General Taos chicken combination eggroll and brown rice.“

“Friendly, fast, and amazing portions“

“Our table was ready on time. Service was a little slow and we had to ask to get drinks refilled. The chicken pho was amazing! A really authentic flavorful broth with all the traditional sides. Enough for 3-4 small meals. Edamame and sushi - very good. But do NOT order the spicy crispy egg noodle pad Thai. Just really bad. Overall a good experience.“

“We were pleasantly surprised by this place. The atmosphere, service, and the food were top notch. Will definitely be back.“

“Love the salmon superfood salad.“

“Arrived half an hour before close, but they work fast, so I had enough time to eat there. My salmon poke bowl with avocado was delish.

I like the Japanese themed decor (cool lamps). They have three KatchFun machines (like the claw from Toy Story) to try your hand at grabbing cute plushies.“
