39 Best Japanese Restaurants in Cincinnati

“We tried this place for the first time this weekend and it was such a fun experience!Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Each of the kids got a token for a toy machine, which just added more magic to the whole thing. Super relaxed vibe, friendly staff, and just a really fun way to do dinner. We’ll definitely be back!“

“absolutely delicious experience. The conveyor belt featured a wide variety of appetizers, salads, fresh fruit, sushi, nigiri, and dessert. our waitress was super attentive and extremely polite. The atmosphere is very fun and entertaining as you watch the conveyor belt, the trams on top of the belt, and the robots delivering hot and fresh food. our waitress was on top of our drinks and explained the iPad and the conveyor belt system very well. Will definitely be back. for the two of us with a generous tip, it was under $50.“

“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!"“

“Seriously so delicious! We enjoyed every single bite! My husband ordered the charred pork belly over rice, my daughter ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl, and I ordered the 3 mix and match skewers! We were all very pleased with our choice. We also ordered the tornado fries and they were incredible! The pricing was reasonable, the staff were friendly, and I can’t even express how amazing the food was! Definitely check it out!“

“Great tonkotsu Ramen. big portion“

“Left 4 stars 6 years ago and had to come back to fix it. This place is my favorite hibachi place in Cincinnati, even above Benihana because of the incredible bar and service. That's what really puts this place at the top.

The hibachi is better than it has ever been, the sushi is fantastic and actually pretty affordable, and the appetizers are the best around. Really no better place to go if youre into sushi or hibachi.“

“The food was outstanding it was my first time there“

“I recently ordered from Hibachi Express and the food was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and the portion size was really generous for the price. Every bite had great flavor, and the meal felt fresh and satisfying.

If you’re looking for tasty hibachi with good quantity and quality, this place is definitely worth it. I’ll be ordering again!“

I recommend anyone taking a trip to the zoo to check out Ninja grill afterwards for lunch!“

“I have only gotten take out from Sake so I can't comment much on its service or atmosphere other than the very basics which were fine. The food has been delicious and very generous portions. The restaurant itself was clean. There is some outdoor seating in front. I don't believe there is any parking other than the paid street parking and I believe small parking garage.“

“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!“

“This is the restaurant inside the Delta Hotel Marriott Sharonville Cincinnati. It acts as both the Starbucks coffee and pastries along with an evening restaurant and bar.

I ordered both food to go and ate within the restaurant. They are pretty fast at making the food, however, there was barely anyone at the restaurant both times, so my order was out of the kitchen pretty fast.

I ordered a burger one night and got something with chicken the next day.

It's a decent enough restaurant and bar for a hotel and is a great place to meet up after a long day in meetings, or at a conference, or to escape an event.“

“First time was tonight and I absolutely loved it. Shared a post about it that’s currently going viral. I pray everyone experience the same experience that I had.“

“Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki was excellent! We get it to go and are never disappointed. I hope this eatery moves to a store front if Eastgate Mall phases out their food court. We hear big changes are coming to the mall, so we are hoping the food court stays in place. Love this food and YES, you get a lot for the price. Try it! You will be surprised“

“The owner is such a kind woman! Please, community of Delhi and all over do continue to support such a generous business owner, mother, restaurant and community member with her restaurant growth and existence. I was blessed to formally meet her this evening. She had a beautiful story to tell and I just pray the community continues to eat there and pay it forward for people's children to be able to eat in uncertain times. My daughter was fed tonight and we are grateful and thankful for that. God bless you, your restaurant and family. The food was AMAZINGLY GOOD!♥️🙏🏽“

“only went for dessert. but the rolled ice was great. only problem was it took 10-15 minutes for them to get one part of the order together.“

“Once I walked in thr restaurant it already felt very authentic. The aroma of food smelt wonderful, I was practically drooling over the smell. The atmosphere felt very peaceful, it was loud, but quite, it was just the right amount a noise. The service was wonderful! Once a stepped in the restaurants I was immediately sat down at a table! They also had tons of seating areas! The staff were also kind to my little one! 😊 The miso soup tasted like a burst of rainbows exploding in my mouth. Most of their food choices were big enough for a whole family to share. 😊 Their sushi tasted phenomenal 😍! I loved how they had so many choices for almost everything. My son loved the egg drop soup! (He's a big fan of that soup!) I was really surprised that they had salads here! The Wild Ginger Fried Rice was so tasty, honestly when I read the description it just sounded okay, but when I had it, it just tasted so good there's no way to describe the amount of flavor I tasted. My husband got the Traditional Fried Rice, which was prepared beautifully. 😍 Overall l, this place is a solid 5 👍.“

“I love everything about Fusabowl!!“

“I used to not be able to get out of this place for under $30! Well now it just cost me $60 with the tip! But I have to admit it was worth every penny and it always will be.“
