8 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants near Lebanon

“Bucket list item checked! I have always wanted to get a sushi boat but never had the numbers to share that much sushi at other places. Kumo fulfilled that dream and I didn’t even have to beg a bunch of friends to come with me to make it happen! I love that they make the dine-in experience so special and memorable by serving your sushi on a boat and the decor is so pretty and festive. They have an extensive menu and I love the customer-named rolls. My fav is the Mary Roll; I think we’d get along, girl! Kumo also has the BEST crab rangoon I have EVER had. And that’s really saying something, given my love of Asian cuisine and locales.

I’m a little nervous about posting this review, just because I don’t want this little gem to get so busy we can’t get a table when we want to, but they deserve that kind of business with such great food, atmosphere, and service. Last but not least, I love the chocolate fortune cookies, also a unique feature and first for me.“

“Don’t let the exterior fool you! The sushi is fresh and customer service is phenomenal!!! Will certainly be going back!“

“The flavor of the chicken (soy garlic) was uniquely delicious!!! Never knew I liked Korean chicken until now!! Was extra crispy and the Parmesan fries were loaded with garlic & flavor!! Will definitely come back!“

“I recently visited with my family. We ordered couple of bowls and appetizers. My favorite was orange chicken with the fried rice. And for appetizers the chicken egg rolls were awesome. Also the customer service was excellent and the cashier explained the whole main in detail and helped us pick out what we wanted!! Definitely coming back“

“Wonderful! Make sure they drain the black beans well my favorite combination is kale, black beans, corn, carrots, chicken with gochugan sauce“

“The food was excellent, great service service, very friendly!“

“Grand Oriental Chinese Restaurant— BaldWhiteGuyReviews 🧑‍🦲🍜 Time flies, kids forget passports, and dads get a rare day off — which I immediately spent doing what any responsible parent would do: drag my son to a new restaurant and then reward him with lunch. 😅 He forgot his passport (top secret co-op stuff, apparently), so we met halfway-ish and let Yelp play help find a new place to try. That’s how we found Grand Oriental — a big, festive palace of American-Chinese comfort food and decorative bravado Grand Oriental 📍4800 Fields Ertel Rd, Cincinnati. Parking & Entrance Parking: angled, on a slight hill, and perfect for anyone who enjoys a little cardio while exiting their car. If you have equilibrium issues, bring a friend or a very dramatic cane. Walk the red carpet like you’re famous (or at least like you once were #Santa in the Christmas Program) and step into a dining room that screams “special occasion” louder than your drunk uncle at a wedding. 🎉✨ #WeSeeYou Decorations Huge space, lots of lanterns, and more faux-oriental flair than a Netflix period drama on a budget. The place looks like someone told Pinterest to go wild and then hired a very enthusiastic intern to execute it. If prom and homecoming had a love child, this would be the reception venue. Very Instagrammable — bring a filter and a dramatic pose. 📸🪩 They even have a golden throne #Seriously. The Wet Live Well They’ve got a big wet live well — yes, an actual aquarium of potential dinner guests. Do I think they fish out a crab and whisper “you’re up” before tossing him into a wok? Some call it fresh; others call it barbaric reality TV for crustaceans. Either way, the seafood looks like it just finished updating its LinkedIn. 🦀🐟😬 #FearFactor Bathroom Report Bathroom: shockingly clean and tastefully decorated. If the restroom is this tidy, you know the kitchen isn’t hiding any skeletons — just maybe a very well-behaved crab. 🚽✨ What We Ate 🍜 * Appetizer: Crab Rangoon — $6.99 Warm, creamy, and dangerously addictive. Came with two mystery sauces: one was sweet (dessert-adjacent and delightful), the other had a wasabi vibe that made my face do a small, respectful salute. I’m still not sure if the second sauce was wasabi or a tiny jar of regret, but it worked. 😋🔥 It was a surprise, no mention of sauces on the menu. (That I could find anyway). * Half-ling’s Meal: Sweet & Sour Chicken with Fried Rice — $11.99 Predictable in the best way. Comfort food for people who like their food to behave itself. The fried rice, however, was quietly excellent — the unsung hero of the table. 🍚👍 * My Choice: Hunan Beef with Fried Rice — $12.99 Hunan Beef is my yardstick. This one had a pleasant kick that made my nose run like it had opinions. Local Hunan still wins my heart #DragonInn, but this one is a solid contender. 🥩🌶️ Total Lunch Damage: $34.46 (waters included, because hydration is free and important) 💸 Final Thoughts (and the part where I pretend to be impartial) The Grand Oriental is a great spot for a special lunch or to impress guests who like their ambiance with a side of theatrical lighting. Staff were friendly and fast — service points for speed and smiles. Food was solid, comforting, and exactly what you expect from a good American-Chinese joint: familiar, warm, and occasionally surprising (looking at you, mystery sauce). #HotHot Final Score: 3 out of 5 Bald Heads 🧑‍🦲🧑‍🦲🧑‍🦲 Why I docked two Bald Heads: * Minus one for predictably (Boring) American-Chinese flavors — tasty, but not revolutionary. * Minus one for price — lunch felt a tad steep. Maybe you’re paying extra for the live well’s real estate and the decorative chandelier that’s clearly on a #FingerHut payment plan. 🧾💡#CheapOldMan Would I go back? Sure — for a special night, a prom afterparty, or if my son forgets something else important. Would I drive across town just for their Hunan? Not this time. 👎 Have you been here?

“Ordered takeout several times with my family, we get the sushi platter and some fried rice usually. Very good port portion sizes For the price that we pay and the food quality has been very good every time. Definitely our new favorite place to get sushi from. They have man roll options available individually or as the platter, with a good variety for people who like different levels of complexity in their rolls.“
