A Late-Night Gem in the Heart of Downtown—But a Hit or Miss on Flavor
Finding a good meal late at night can be a challenge, but this spot is a true savior for night owls, staying open until 2 AM. My girlfriend and I stopped by around 1:30 AM on a Friday, and the atmosphere was lively, giving off the energy of a bustling street eatery in Hong Kong or Tokyo. Located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, it felt like a hidden gem catering to the late-night crowd.
I ordered the Mongolian beef with white rice, and while the portion was satisfying, the dish was drenched in excess oil or sauce. I had to drain a significant amount into my rice bowl, which took away from the overall experience. My girlfriend opted for the chicken pad thai, which she enjoyed, but I found the eggy taste and aroma to be overpowering. I thought the glasses that have a unique tilting style like the tower of pisa were pretty cool!
Service was brief yet friendly, fitting for a late-night spot where efficiency is key. While I wouldn’t go out of my way to return, I’d consider it again if I needed a meal after hours. The menu is almost identical to Wong’s ‘ORIENTAL WOK’ but not with the same quality the ‘wok’ offers. It’s one of those places where your experience could go either way, so it’s worth trying at least once to see if it hits the mark for you.

Absolutely amazing hospitality, especially being a late night spot! We were greeted with the warmest welcome by a lady I’m assuming was the manager, as well as all staff present. I also work in the service industry, so I get the stress of it all and expect very little when I go out. I haven’t had this great of an experience dining in somewhere in a long time! It feels great to actually feel like the staff is glad to have you there. Thank you for standing out as a great example for all of us!

Left from Shanghai couple hours ago. Walked in to Place a to go order of Mongolian vegetable (which is absolutely amazing) Kerry took welcomed me with a warm greeting. I went outside to move my car. 10 minutes later I noticed she brought my food out to the car. I had a not so good day and she made it so much better! THANK YOU KERRY! I’ll be back with something special for her! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Vegetarian staple, years ago when in E. Walnut Hills. Highly recommend dinner menu. Lunch is pared down (but still good choices), and a rainy post-holiday makes for a quiet munch.

I went in here one night after work. It was pouring rain. I sat at the bar and had the spicy mango pineapple margarita. I ordered and my food came out quick. It was hot and delicious. It's nice that their kitchen is open late. I'll definitely be back. The bartenders were great they had me cracking up.

The portion was huge and absolutely delicious!
Vegetarian options: Tofu and a good assortment of veggie options
Food that I received was good but didn't get the steamed rice or the fried rice that came with the meals so I was disappointed.

Great food. Best pad Thai in the city. Carrie was our server today and she has got to be the BEST server we've ever had at any restaurant. She made the food and experience that much better. We eat Shangai often so we'll definitely be back.
