45 Best Japanese Restaurants in Cincinnati

“Great food and customer service..“

“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!"“

“Stopped in with some co workers, very welcoming and chill vibe! Drinks were delicious more importantly the bartender, host, and owner were all very professional and friendly. Worth stopping by“

“The ramen never disappoints, and you can customize to your preference with a variety of add-ins. The appies and rice bowls are also delicious. Oh, and their chasu (pork) is life-altering. Highly recommended!“

“The food is absolutely delicious. It is authentic. Love Love LOVE THE spicy kimchi Ramen. Definitely a hidden gem in Cincinnati and very affordable.“

“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!“

“Great tonkotsu Ramen. big portion“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal 😍 I ordered a teriyaki salmon bento box and it came with all of this for $20! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Perfect atmosphere, classy, elegant, awesome drinks, the food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. I love this place ❤️“

“My friend lives locally and so she’s a regular. Their serving portions are very generous to other Asian cuisine that she has been to in the past (I.e. Panda Xpress). We really like the cleanliness and comfort of the place itself.
Employees are courteous, respectful and friendly. They greet you with a smile. 😊
The way they address us while placing the order and organized to make our order was nicely done. They call your number and make your order right there. It keeps the flow smoothly.
She will definitely be back. It’s her new spot. I will most lily be back with my teenagers here. 😉🥢🥡“

“I absolutely love Fuji! The staff is always super welcoming and they try their best to accommodate everybody. Sometimes eating at hibachi can be different, whether it's the people in your table set or the chef you get, but I can say for many years, the food is always cooked perfectly & the staff is always loving 🙂“

“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. 🫶“

“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.“

“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!“

“I absolutely Love the sushi at this place. It's so good. Although the restaurant itself is pretty small the flavor in the food is huge! The staff is very friendly. The chair are kinda tattered and beat up. It could definitely do with some new furniture (chair for the tables at the minimum). But if you're willing to deal with the lack luster atmosphere, the food is definitely worth it.“

“Best sushi hands down! #sushifriday“

“I go back because the food is awesome and the lady taking the orders is always nice and smiling. She is an excellent reason to keep going back.“

“The sushi and the crab puffs were great, the general tso's had a light crispy batter and a nice balanced sauce, and the fried rice was absolutely perfect. I can't believe this place wasn't busier. I feel like ambient music all the time would go a long way. I can't wait to see what this place becomes. I'd love to see the bar open and karaoke nights on that cute stage!“

“The owners and staff are awesome people!! We frequent this establishment very often and always have a great time and experience! Food and atmosphere is awesome!! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“We went for the sushi and hibachi all-you-can-eat. The staff was nice, the service was quick, and the food was good. We especially liked the hibachi. It is such a good deal!“

“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.“

“Very Good Sushi!!! We enjoyed every bite we took and highly recommend you visit this restaurant. We will definitely be back many times!“

“Great food and great atmosphere“

“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!♥️🙏🏽“

“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!“

“The onigiri is phenomenal
Daruma is a little self serve shop of well curated delicious stuff. My teen & I love to stop here to grab onigiri and bottled drinks to take on picnics (or for them to eat in the car while examining how good they are)“

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

“3 months, and they continue to ignore my messages. They charged me for the wrong thing and there was a problem with my Miso soup. Definitely a company who couldn't care less about customers.“

“This was my first time here 12/27/25 I will never go back they had no ketchup nore French fries baked potato server very nice chef was good“

“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“

“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. 🌈 🍣 🍺“

“Love there Chicken and Salmon. There food is delicious 😋. I highly recommended this place.“

“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“

“Amazing Food Tasty Environment Great!!!“

“My husband and I just found our new Chinese restaurant. We ordered from here for the first time and both of us looked at each other and said, “our new place.” The food is freshly cooked and delicious.“

“Very Good Sushi!!! We enjoyed every bite we took and highly recommend you visit this restaurant. We will definitely be back many times!“

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

“This applies for the takeaways. First off, their curries are delicious and a good deal when you order to take away. Yes they are $17-18 which is more than some places but you get a lot of curry! Unfortunately the deal stops there. We also ordered a Pad Thai and it was over $17. The portion was ok but considering its just noodles and a few veggies that's a lot of money. The taste of the Pad Thai was just so so. Definitely disappointed in it. Last thing we ordered was some vegetable sushi. $8 for 6 tiny pieces. Definitely over priced. I still am rating 4 stars because the curries are delicious and so worth the money. Stick to them and you won't be disappointed“

“I love everything about Fusabowl!!“
