Best place for sushi. Found this spot on accident but it has quickly become my favorite place to eat. The sushi is good and 1/2 priced. I’ve never had to wait for table and the staff is very friendly. Couldn’t recommend them more.

I used to live in Yeonam Dong and have a hard time finding real Korean food where I live. Came here to work, and found this place. Great menu, but I want Korean. So I ordered Kimbap.
Spot on! Loved it! Ate it! Danced with it!
I'll be back again to try more.
And the 2 hosts i met were amazing.
Can't go to Korea or miss it? Come here.

Very friendly server. Great vibe when you walk in. Restaurant is very clean and nice looking. Gives you water and pitcher without asking. I got the chicken katsu and it was extremely good. Full bar as well. Definitely recommend

As someone who grew up in both Korea and the U.S., I was hugely disappointed. The portion size definitely didn’t match the price, and the quality of the Korean food (tteokboki, bibimbap, etc) was so underwhelming that I had to force myself to finish it just to avoid wasting food. Nothing stood out in terms of flavor or authenticity; it just felt like a poorly done attempt at Korean cuisine. The server was okay, but that was really the only redeeming part of the experience. Overall, it was disappointing and not worth the money.

We were staying up the street while in town for a work trip and were trying to decide on dinner the first night and we found Kanji with great reviews so we decided to give it a try!
The AC was broken that day but that did not change our experience- our whole experience was amazing! Between the 4 of us we ordered a good amount of sushi rolls, mixed drinks, and more. The waitress was very friendly and helpful in her recommendations for not only what she finds best as we asked her, but other local things we could do since we’d never visited Cincinnati before!
We did not have a single roll that we didn’t love! Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!

What the bibimbap! We were blown away by this place... there was a wide variety of sushi as well as bowls and other creative dishes. We got the udon bowl and 4 different sushi bowls, plusa pile of edamami. Add in a cocktail and a few beers too. $100. They told us the sushi was all half off! So crazy! The wait staff was nice and ambiance was great too.

Great food at a reasonable price. Seafood pancakes were perfectly fried. White tuna sashimi, scallop sashimi, and salmon sashimi were wonderful. Our server Bella was very polite and helpful. Fun to see traditional Asian food in a modern setting.

We unfortunately had a bad time. Some of the food was very good and staff was friendly. We waited an hour for dinner and they only were able to make one of our meals. We asks for the other to go and they gave us a less expensive dish, but still charged us for the more expensive one. It was just a $2 difference, but we considered disrespectful after forgetting to make our second entree in the first place. We will not return and would not recommend.

Great service and just as amazing food! Rae our server was the best! We had the Choonchun Chicken, crab rangoons and Thai Tanic Roll recommended by the hostess and they did not disappoint. They made great accomodations for our gluten allergy as well. We highly recommend and will be back again!
