“The best sushi for very normal price.

1. They have conveyor belt which revolves food hence the name.
2. Each plate costs $3.33 on conveyor belt. Consists of 3-4 pieces of sushi or sashimi or any salad.
3. If you want outside conveyor belt. You can order on the screen. The food will get served on toy cars on top track.
4. You can grab whatever you want from conveyor belt and eat. They would count the lid and charge based on lid count.
5. For $3.33 , don’t think about the taste. It’s absolute best tasting sushi.
6. If you want more delicious and tastier sushi, then have takeout. Costs more but the freshness and deliciousness Is much more and you would love it.

My favorites are as follows…
1. Bengals sushi - the best
2. Forest sushi
3. Seaweed salad
4. Spicy edamame
5. Dragon sushi
6. Spicy dragon sushi“

“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!"“

“Our family loves hibachi style restaurants. We always sent to sake near our old house. When we moved down here we were hesitant to try a new place. Boy am I glad we did. The staff is always friendly and never acts like we are a burden no matter what time we show up. They have never tried to cram us with another family during the slower times. Our food has always been right and tastes great! We will continue to come back.“

“I ate at this restaurant for the first time today and I will definitely be coming back in the future. The menu is simple yet provides a variety of flavors at a reasonable price. When the staff served the food they even made sure there was no mess outside of the container and wiped it down with a napkin, which is a small detail but is very appreciated. I had not eaten all day and the portions are so generous I ate only 1/3 of my plate (Chicken Teriyaki, noodles and fried rice with vegetables) and have plenty of leftovers for later. I am looking forward to trying more of their menu in the future.“

On The Rocks Bourbon Bar & Restaurant Bar • $$

“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.“
