One team member said: "Cafe Mochiko is hands down one of the best Japanese bakeries that I have had the honor of trying. Everything is perfectly balanced regardless if you are a sweet or savory kind of person! The best part was my gluten free wife had some incredible options as well. The only thing that I wish is that I knew about them sooner. They are award winning for a reason and I highly recommend everyone to check them out!"
This is the best food in Cincinnati and the best Japanese food I’ve ever had.

Every last dish I tried was the best of its kind I’ve ever had
Flawless execution. Perfectly prepared proteins and seasoning on point. They live on the top-tier of dining options in Cincy and the tristate area. Best fried chicken I’ve had in a long time. Smash burger is 💯
Eat here.

The restaurant is known for its affordable and craveable offerings. Customers have tried everything from the pork BBQ bao buns to the seasonal strawberry melonpon, all of which are described as amazing. The ube cream-filled croissant is a particular favorite.
