11 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lebanon

“I thought I had already discovered my favorite sushi restaurant in Cincinnati a long time ago, but then we tried Toki Sushi in Lebanon! Now, we find ourselves ordering carryout at least once a week. The sushi is incredibly fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced—it literally melts in your mouth. My top picks are the White Christmas Roll, Lebanon Roll, Rock Roll, New York Roll, Eel Avocado Roll, and Salmon Roll. You have to try them all! It’s definitely worth the drive!✨“

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

“Hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had. Every single visit has been phenomenal. Tenji Sushi is moving locations, and I fully plan to support them through the end of May at their current spot — then patiently (and excitedly) wait for the new location to open. Please go support them if you haven’t already. Amazing food, amazing people, and an experience that keeps you coming back.“

“The food here is really good. I’ve had both the hibachi and the sushi rolls, and they’ve been excellent every time.

My only gripe is the service is a bit slow. It can take a while to be greeted after being seated, and check-ins during the visit are also somewhat infrequent.

Other than that, I have no complaints—the food definitely makes it worth coming back.“

“We had my daughter’s birthday here yesterday, and it was such a great experience. The concept was beautiful, food was delicious, and Service was outstanding!!! Highly recommend as this is not your typical hibachi place. It’s stunning.“

“Great tonkotsu Ramen. big portion“

“Wonderful place! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. I especially loved the quality of the fish and the generous portions. The service was excellent — the staff were friendly, attentive, and provided quick service while creating a pleasant atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful evening! 🍣✨“

“THE BEST!!! I absolutely love this place! The food and service is equally fabulous. Everything is so fresh and delicious.Great prices good environment. I can safely say this is a wonderful hidden gem. If you are going to try the crab boil, they are some of the best I've ever had honestly. Between the sauce, the freshness of the crab and the freshness of the corn and other ingredients It is just superior.“

“New restaurant to the area and we are so excited! Food was outstanding, staff was friendly and place was clean and comfortable. My husband had the spicy chicken and it was awesome. I had the steak and it was perfectly prepared. Veggies were not mushy and very flavorful. The fried rice was delicious as well. We also shared the crab Rangoon and they were probably the best I’ve ever had. We have been looking for a local place like this…so thank you and welcome!!“

“Excellent food! Great service!“

“Wife and I were in Springboro watching Granddaughters and while they went out for dinner we decided to get Chinese. There was another restaurant closer but its is closed and we found this online. Its in small strip mall with a Pizza place, DQ, Drugstore etc. Going in its somewhat messy in that boxes with supplies are stacked in dining room. There are plenty of chairs but are stored along wall vs around tables. We ordered takeout since we had some wine at home and didn't feel like eating in. Nothing wrong, the tables and booths were spotless just wanted to eat at home. While there almost all food was takeout. We ordered Wife- Happy Family, me Mala Shrimp, spicy jalapeno, onions etc shrimp. It took about 15 minutes and in that time we saw probably 10 people picking up their food.\nWhen we got home we dug in the dishes and fried rice which we both ordered. The food was delicious and my shrimp was spicy but not too. I was sweating at end when finished eating. The fried rice was lightly fried not like some places in which the rice is somewhat oily/greasy but was very fluffy and good.\nPrices for both of us was $29 but plenty of food. Wife had left overs.\nAtmosphere at place is not greatest for dining in but suffices. The seafood in our dish was fresh. Someplace you can tell the shrimp is old but not at this place.“
