“I wanted to eat Korean spicy ramen that BTS Jimin eats, eventually I found it here. It was so delicious and all the staff were very kind. It's a Asian sushi restaurant, but if you want to taste Korean food such as Bulgogi, Japchae, spicy Soft Tofu stew and even hot pot bibimbap I highly recommend it.“
“Cafe Mochiko left us thoroughly impressed during our visit from out of town. We dined there twice over a weekend, once for dinner and once for morning pastries, and we were blown away both times. During dinner, we enjoyed a variety of appetizers, including the savory and fragrant Mochi Mochi Panic, Karaage, and Kabocha Raisu, all of which were hits. For the entree, we tried The Ohio from their rotating menu, which featured a rich pork and fish broth with tender sous vide pork and chewy noodles—an absolute delight.On our second visit, we stopped by for pastries on a Sunday. Despite about 15-minutes wait in line, the pastries were well worth it. We tried out a variety of their signature pastries, including the Ube Croissant and Genmaicha Melonpan, all of which were so well-made and delicious.Overall, Cafe Mochiko is an exceptional Asian-inspired bakery and Japanese restaurant. While they don't take reservations and may involve a wait, it's well worth the visit. We are so thrilled to have visited this gem in Cincinnati!“
“This is the best ramen house in the tri-state area. I have eaten at most of the Japanese restaurants that offer authentic Japanese-style ramen and this place has the best. I have traveled throughout Japan and Osaka Ramen House had the closest version to what I had in that country. The appetizers and other meals are so tasty and what you would find in Japan.“
“We actually found this by looking for high rate Asian close to OTR. How did we not know about this place. Opened about a year ago from the neighbors next door (Lalo), this place is a hidden gem.We ordered the skewers (one each) of the chicken, the chino tacos, the tornado potatoes and the banh mi with cucumber salad. Very plate was delicious. Something we really appreciated were the sauces.My family has been to Vietnam multiple times and that’s something we loved when we were there. This place was a nice fusion with an emphasis on Vietnamese food.Delicious and we will be back for the Pho!“
“Oishii! Delicious! Came in for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed everything about this delightful gem. The onigiri and karaage lunch combo was perfect, light and healthy with a side salad. We also tried two cakes, a strawberry creme and matcha roll. Again, light and subtle flavors always leave you with room for one more bite.“
“This place is special. For our first visit, we selected 5 items from the menu for take out and each of them were very, very good. The only conversation we made for that hour was about the food itself. We were elated. Thoughtfully and carefully conceived and prepared, this food was a delightful experience.Do you know how sometimes a bite is so good that it will cause you to pause from chewing any further until the quiet ahhh and mmmm you involuntarily uttered have passed and with another bite comes the realization some manner of stress has left you? Thankfully, dining encounters like these are on par with some spiritual and sensual encounters fleeting as they may sometimes be. We will return with the hope that Kiki might give us this again.“
“Attended a birthday celebration. Wasn't sure what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is great. Yakatori isn't a large restaurant, and I believe this is the reason the staff is so attentive. The double hibachi was the special for the day. I ordered the special with chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and fried rice. All the items were seasoned, tasted good, and the portion sizes were worth the price. Reservations are not taken. Because of their size, if you have a party greater than 6 people, you will not be seated at the same table. Other than that, I enjoyed my meal,and I will be back. Thank you to all the staff. Keep up your great work.“
“The Seafood Ramen and Curry Rice are my favorites. The takoyaki is very good too! The dishes are packed with flavor. I'd eat here every day if I could. The portions are generous and the price is on point for the size and quality of the meals. I recently got take out and it was just as nice as in the restaurant. I'm new to this area but Osaka is already a favorite of mine.“
“Absolutely delicious sushi. Got Carry out, but the restaurant seating itself seems pretty close together (small place,) but they do have some pretty cool drapes hung from the ceiling. It seem like you’re dining privately. Would definitely get sushi from there “
“My girlfriend and I look forward to going here every weekend. I was cautious about leaving a review because I didn’t want anyone to know how great this place was. It should be packed more often. Great beers, amazing food, and awesome people.“
“Wow! What a little gem! And extremely reasonable price point for fresh, delicious, literal boatload of sushi! We got the sushi boat and it did not disappoint (see pic). The wait staff were extremely friendly and as excited as we were to bring the boat out to us lol. It was such a beautifully artistic presentation and the sushi was amazing! Def will be coming back!“
“I appreciate the food and the amount of food they give.However, DONT buy a gift card from there. They won't let you use your own money of the gift card if it's below the gift card amount.For example, I got a 10 dollar gift card, i tried getting krab ragoon which is 7.49 total, I couldn't use the gift card because it was below the 10 dollars, makes perfect sense.“
“We loved Aji Ichiban when it was on Glenway, and are thrilled with the new location where the old Washington Platform restaurant used to be in Elm Street. It’s all new and very clean and cozy! Their yummy-yummy sauce is simply the best! I love the Hibatchi shrimp and fried rice and my husband and kids love the Hibatchi Chicken and shrimp. They have a beautiful full bar and an extra room for karaoke and private events! They do not cook in front of you but have nice seating and bring the food to you. I think I like this better! Family owned and operated by a great couple who treat you like family. If you’re craving Hibatchi, this is the place to go!!“
“We were a walk in and they were able to seat us on an early evening on a Tuesday. Andrew and Chloe were absolutely FANTASTIC and were extremely cognizant of my mom’s cheese allergy and my nieces deathly peanut allergy. They were attentive, always checking on us but never making us feel rushed and truly gave us a great experience. The food was some of the best i have had and i highly recommend this place. I would say to make reservations on busier days like the weekends for sure! Thank you again Andrew and Chloe!“
“Nikki was my server and she was friendly. She recommended us the couples flight which we did. It did take about 30 minutes or more until we got our meat to cook when we were on a time crunch. The table next to us was extremely loud so I was unable to have a conversation with my date. Food was a large amount for fair pricing. We will go back but will ask to be in a more secluded table towards the front.“
“We had a really great time. We were celebrating hubby's birthday. The atmosphere was great. Service was great and our cook was top notch. He almost gave me a heart attack but it was all in fun. Lol. The alcoholic drink choices weren't too impressive to me. The food is always so good. They have a great selection for sushi options. They have a lot of hibachi choices too. The price is typical of a hibachi restaurant. I suggest making reservations as they are always full if you do walk-ins(at least Everytime we go and are walk-ins) Everything was amazing. He had a great night and so did everyone else.Parking: The lot for the restaurant is somewhat small but it's in a shopping center so there is more parking behind the restaurant. You just have to take a short walk.Kid-friendliness: They do have a kids menu. Our son is 11 and eats like an adult so this doesn't apply to us. But they have something for everyone and the environment is kid friendly.“
“Stopped in at around 4 on Sunday, we were immediately greeted and given a seat. I’d never had ramen before, the server was extremely helpful in giving suggestions on what to try. Not only this, but she gave great attention to detail and was very attentive. The food was excellent, but the service we received really made the experience. I recommend anyone to stop and give this place a try. You won’t regret it.“
“Best sushi I ever had! I went here once in like 2021 because I traveled from Chicago to Ohio to work a car show. My colleagues and I went here and it was THE BEST SUSHI I've ever had. It's been years since I visited and I'm always talking this place up. Well, I finally decided to make a review. I'll have to come visit, just for the sushi because it was EXCELLENT.“
“This place has a very extensive sushi menu. There's good-looking cocktails and wines, too, but I didn't explore any drinks the night I came. It was a casual, upbeat vibe on a Thursday night. The rainbow roll is a good test for quality, and I thought it was very solid. The lion king roll had an excellently cooked piece of salmon on top -- quite enjoyable. The shumai was very high quality, too. Everything is surprisingly affordable and less expensive than your average sushi spot, but quality is not compromised. Service was very good. I'd be more than happy to come back.Parking: There are meters all around the area, but it's a popular area, so you have to get a little lucky to find a close spot.“
“Great service and very authentic Japanese food. This is a very homey and cozy experience. This is the first time I've had a broth based Japanese dish that I loved. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.However, I wish that they had some light Japanese music playing in the background, as the restaurant is very small and talking at a regular volume can feel loud. I think that this would greatly improve the already good atmosphere.I also wish that they had one or two affordable dinner options. I would like to bring more people here but I think the price point would be a little too high for some people.“
“This is my favorite Hibachi restaurant hands down. The yum yum sauce is by far the most delicious I’ve ever had and always find myself comparing others to this one. I moved across the country during the beginning of the pandemic, but every time I visit home this is always my first stop.“
“Cloud 9 Sushi is a must stop in Cincinnati!The food was all so good! And really inexpensive! I got 2 special rolls (C9 supreme & BBQ), 2 appetizers (Gyoza & Crab Rangoon), 1 soda, and 1 hand roll (yum yum roll) the Gyoza Pot Stickers were AMAZING! I only spent $41 for all of these things! I definitely recommend this place if you love sushi - so many options to choose from. The only thing to keep in mind is that the parking situation is terrible. Not handicap friendly!Parking: Streets are packed and parking is hard to find“
“The food always looks and tastes fresh. Sushi has the tendency to not be filling, but at FUSIAN, I feel you really get your money’s worth. I really enjoy having the ability to customize my sushi rolls, as not many places allow you to do that. I also appreciate how many cooked protein options are available. Service is always fast and friendly.Overall, I would recommend!“
“Had a great dinner there the other night! Got the drunken noodles as per my server's suggestion and it was very tasty, and a very nice portion that I took half home and ate the next day ? looking forward to going back and trying the pineapple fried rice. Never had such a thing before but I was torn between that and the noodles.“
“Better than I expected for a nice filling meal. My food was hot and fresh. The entire establishment was clean and smelled nice; even the restroom. The previous owners of the Chinese Restaurant had boxes everywhere including the restroom (cleaning products).I was very please with the speed of service and the quality. This will be my new fave place to go for a quick hibachi meal.“
“Very good food. Had lunch there. I'm GF and they claim they are not. You can steer your way thru the menu and find options for GF. I had the scallop luncheon. Comes with clear soup and a salad ....very good and I did not get sick! Entree comes with rice and veggies.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“Great sushi plus other Asian cuisine. I've been coming here for years for both lunch and dinner, including with family and friends.I've tried most of the menu and like everything. I really like the Japanese draft beers, but they have several beverage options.Dine in after 4 pm for half-price sushi. The non-sushi menu is solid. It's only one block from Fountain Square on 6th Street.“
“I absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is fun and exciting and also very comfy, like you are just at a really great party a friend is throwing?. It is a very welcoming atmosphere for EVERYONE?. The service is excellent and so is the food. I would give more stars if I could.“
“Favorite take out and dine in restaurant for my family. We are so happy to have New Garden and all the staff as part of our community and providing warm service and good food. Food is always fresh. Large portions, super tastey. Favorite place for take out sushi and hot sour soup on cold days! I would recommend anything from their menu and it will be prepared well.Kid-friendliness: They have a nice little kids menu for the picky eaters.“
