“Great service and very authentic Japanese food. This is a very homey and cozy experience. This is the first time I've had a broth based Japanese dish that I loved. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.However, I wish that they had some light Japanese music playing in the background, as the restaurant is very small and talking at a regular volume can feel loud. I think that this would greatly improve the already good atmosphere.I also wish that they had one or two affordable dinner options. I would like to bring more people here but I think the price point would be a little too high for some people.“
“Best sushi I ever had! I went here once in like 2021 because I traveled from Chicago to Ohio to work a car show. My colleagues and I went here and it was THE BEST SUSHI I've ever had. It's been years since I visited and I'm always talking this place up. Well, I finally decided to make a review. I'll have to come visit, just for the sushi because it was EXCELLENT.“

“I cannot say enough positive things about this spot. We went and it was very busy, but we were quickly seated and to our surprise the food came out decently quick and was absolutely delicious. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful with our questions on menu items. We can’t wait to go back!“
“Can’t say enough about how fabulous the experience was at MARBL! Celebrated our anniversary, they put rose petals on the table and brought us a small glass of champagne at the end of our meal. Food, service and views were spectacular! Highly recommend!!“
“The food was good. Service was good. My only problem is that a mistake was made were I was charged with my friends food for $134 when my bill was $28.03. The waitress and manager fixed the mistake but there was never a simple "sorry" or "we apologize".Still a good place to eat.“
“So appreciative of service and care! Post pregnancy all my sister wanted was a massive platter of sushi. The owner allowed us to customize some of the rolls for dietary preferences. We actually ordered two platters but we gobbled down the first one before I could take a photo. The sushi was fantastic! Would highly recommend.“
“Best ramen in Cincinnati. I got in 35 minutes before they closed (which I hate doing) but the owner accepted me. Fast service and genuinely just delicious food. I got the spicy pork with crispy dumplings and he gave me a small yogurt drink which was wonderful. I cannot say enough good things.“
“My boyfriend and I came in tonight closer to closing. He ordered the steak, shrimp, and chicken hibachi with fried dumplings and I had the teriyaki chicken bento box with spicy crab sushi, and crab Rangoon. The food was SO good. But, I think the shining point of dinner was their young daughter coming up to play with us then later asking if we needed anything. You can tell this is a mom and pop type restaurant and I absolutely love it. I hope to come back in soon!“
“For being such a small, likely overlooked little restaurant, my family and I were surprised at the flavor and taste of everything we ordered. Beautifully decorated and the staff were all super nice, seriously, this place is underrated, definitely one of the best dine in experiences I've had in years.“
“Good mango curry. I got it hot level of spice and it was not that spicy but still seasoned well. Good service. Wife's Sesame chicken was only adequate... Overcooked and sauce tasted like it came from a jar. Good apple sake. Good service.“
“The food was delicious. The temperature was freezing. There was a vent blowing cold air right on the table full blast. After awhile we did say something to the server. She said she would ask about turning it down but it never happened. We hurried to eat, didn't get dessert, and left quickly strictly due to the temperature being so cold. (We were even dressed in suits from church so it wasn't about our clothing choices.). Disappointing because we loved our food.“
“Amazing food and service! We drive 45 minutes to eat at Sake Bomb. My wife is gluten free and is able to safely eat off the gf menu with multiple offerings, including gf sushi. The food is soooo good. Fresh, tasty sauces, large portions, and the presentations are beautiful. The owner is wonderful and truly seems to care for his customers as he talks with each table. If we lived closer, we would be here twice as much as we are now.“
“Truly a Cincinnati gem. Unique sushi and related options, wide selection of sake and craft cocktails. Staff was friendly and helpful, and it would be equally as enjoyable at a table or at the bar . Very interesting lighting. Later at night on weekends (at 10?) it turns into a club.“
“My girlfriend and I recently relocated from Northern California where it is foodie heaven. So far, it is the closest experience to California cuisine. The staff, ambience and quality of the food are exceptional. A little extra shout out to our server, Danielle. She is awesome.“
“The food is consistently good. My husband and I go here whenever we want a good meal. Way better alternative to the regular American fast food options. Seems like a family run business and they do it well. Recommend gyoza, salmon sushi roll with avocado, and chicken pad Thai. Large portions for noodles.“
“Made reservations here the other day. They were absolutely packed and they handled it so well. Got us right to our table. The bartenders were on point. The drinks were fantastic. The kitchen was excellent. The food was delicious. We will be back. The staff here was fantastic.“
“This was on of the best and most authentic Japanese restaurants that I have been to. The staff were very kind, the menu had a great selection of dishes. The sushi was very fresh. Everything had a great feel. Very warm and inviting! I would return if I was in the area. I was here on a business trip.“
“I was honestly a bit hesitant of this place because of how large the menu was... but they make everything very well and its all very fresh. The Basil chicken stir fry stands up to what you would get at Asiana (very high praise). Super kind service, and the prices are almost too reasonable for what you get.“
“We had a really great time. We were celebrating hubby's birthday. The atmosphere was great. Service was great and our cook was top notch. He almost gave me a heart attack but it was all in fun. Lol. The alcoholic drink choices weren't too impressive to me. The food is always so good. They have a great selection for sushi options. They have a lot of hibachi choices too. The price is typical of a hibachi restaurant. I suggest making reservations as they are always full if you do walk-ins(at least Everytime we go and are walk-ins) Everything was amazing. He had a great night and so did everyone else.Parking: The lot for the restaurant is somewhat small but it's in a shopping center so there is more parking behind the restaurant. You just have to take a short walk.Kid-friendliness: They do have a kids menu. Our son is 11 and eats like an adult so this doesn't apply to us. But they have something for everyone and the environment is kid friendly.“
“Since moving to Ohio, I have had a plague upon my house- lame, boring, midwestern "thai" food basically more like noodle casserole than a meal designed to unclog your sinuses, sober you up, and cool you off on a sweltering 40C Thai summer day.enter: Mango Thai, where they were NOT too cat-like to give me the full 5/5 spice 5 alarm treatment.Believe me. I am tired of asking for 4/5, 5/5, or "thai spicy" and getting something more akin to a single splash of tabasco. Not here, I got a true 5/5 setting my mouth on fire just as I wanted, finally, a place that does not hold back- and close to my house means I'll be back frequently.Order: Drunken Noodles 5/5, and it was perfect. I loved it.“
“We dined in at evening. We got three sushi rolls, pho, and wonton soup. The only downside I had about this was that I didn’t have enough broth for my noodles in my pho, plus some of the noodles were sticking together. They still are receiving five stars because of the camaraderie had between us. We had come in when they had a photographer taking pictures of their food. We were offered free ice cream, and any sample of any of the dishes that came out. I definitely will have to check this place out again when I come back into town.“
“So glad we tried Green Papaya in Mariemont. I didn't even know it was there. Food was very good. Service started out slowly, but when told we had limited time it became amazingly attentive and fast. I didn't love the ambiance but it is absolutely passable. Give it a try and you will be glad you did.“
“I’m not from here, I’m way up in mid Ohio. I’m down here on a business trip. Someone from my work that’s from here recommended this place for the sushi. Based on the look you wouldn’t expect the greatest sushi. It was amazing super fresh and well made. The server Sylas C was amazing, they kept on ensuing they would be right with me on drinks, ordering, and food even when passing by with other peoples food making me feel important. It was super busy too so the multi tasking skills were impressive. Best place I’ve eaten on this trip hands down. The only thing that I didn’t like is how crowded it was and how close the seats were so servers kept bumping into me. No ones fault really it was busy and space was taken up. Over all best place I’ve eaten on this trip“
“This is a fun menu and unique restaurant vibe. There always is a buzz on a weekend night at this location. The food is fresh and flavorful. The only item across the menu that I don't rave about is the chicken fried rice which can easily be fixed with drizzle of sriracha or chili oil to add flavor to the otherwise bland dish. The restaurant is often busy, so take out is what I do often and recommend to others who are nearby.“
“Really great ambiance inside, friendly staff, super fast service for pick-up orders, awesome tasty food for a great price! The Philadelphia roll is amazing!Parking: Few spots right in front of the storefront and then plenty more throughout the shopping center parking lot.“
“Great appetizers and Thai noodles; sushi is medium good. Sauces are all excellent! Our waitress was amazing and brought us extra comments including smokey pepper flakes because we ordered our dish less spicy to share with a child. Good drink selection and good prices.“
“This is by far the best place I have been to in a long time if you want food like this. Quality service, better service and they are very polite. I have been recommending this to anyone that asks me where they should eat.Kid-friendliness: They are very politeWheelchair accessibility: Yup“
“One of my favorite red restaurants. Located near Hyde Park. This Thai restaurant has the best ladna noodles I have ever had with a spice of 1 to 10 a 4 is great without causing too much heat and they will also bring out some spices to add more if it is not spicy enough. On the other end the food is not at all spicy if you want it that way. The Pad Thai is also fantastic.The servers are friendly and funny and very quick to help.Parking: There is free parking at the back of the restaurant, but paid parking was $2 if you need to park out front or on the street. This is a busy road, so be careful when backing out.“
“Good food, nicely prepared. Pad Thai was a little on the lighter side, not in portion but weight of the dish (which I didn't mind actually). Friendly staff. I'd say 4.5* place. Sushimi roll was beautifully presented. As it stands, the overall on google is 4.2* so I'm rounding up - take that mr. overall google rating!“
“They serve the best sushi I've had in Cincinnati. Authentic and not run of the mill. The place can be crowded at peak times. The main dining are is a little short on ambiance, but the outstanding menu makes up for that. Great service, very accommodating. Hours are limited, make sure they're open before you plan to go.Parking: I was able to find a metered parking spot on the same block, but it was the only one open. It's a busy street, so having someone step out to direct cars while you park is helpful“
“Had a great dinner there the other night! Got the drunken noodles as per my server's suggestion and it was very tasty, and a very nice portion that I took half home and ate the next day ? looking forward to going back and trying the pineapple fried rice. Never had such a thing before but I was torn between that and the noodles.“
“Best Thai food in Cincinnati. I spent three months in Thailand and since coming home I've been on a quest to find the best Thai in Cincinnati, which is finally over. Had some soups, fried tofu, and papaya salad and a Chang beer and it felt like I was back in Bangkok. Prices are very good as well. I will be back very soon.“
“This place is legit. One of the best Thai dishes I've had in a while, tons of flavor and the spice was accurate. I did yellow curry via DoorDash. Can't wait to try other dishes but the curry was so good I'll definitely order again.“
“I'm traveling for work and it is always great to find a gem like this place. I love ramen. I've even tried my hand at making it myself. Way to time intensive for me so finding places like Maki Express makes it so much more worthwhile to just go and sit down and have a bowl. The place is tiny with about 4 tables, but very clean and presentable. The service is just right, but maybe they shouldn't allow there employee to sleep at one of the tables. Other than that, great.Now for the food. I ordered the gyoza fried and it didn't disappoint. The filling could of been a little less sinewy, but the flavor was spot on. I also ordered the Tonkatsu ramen with a soft boiled egg and pork chatsu and it was delicious! The right amount of spice. The pork belly chatsu was perfectly succulent and flavorful, noodles perfectly cooked and the broth was soooooo good. Cannot recommend this place enough. AWESOME!“
“This is my favorite Hibachi restaurant hands down. The yum yum sauce is by far the most delicious I’ve ever had and always find myself comparing others to this one. I moved across the country during the beginning of the pandemic, but every time I visit home this is always my first stop.“
“I absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is fun and exciting and also very comfy, like you are just at a really great party a friend is throwing?. It is a very welcoming atmosphere for EVERYONE?. The service is excellent and so is the food. I would give more stars if I could.“
“While visiting the area, this place was recommended as a restaurant worth checking out. We decided to give it a shot. The interior gave off more of a local cafeteria than a sushi joint which caught me off guard. The staff was friendly and the food was good. While I would say that one of my local joints has better sushi, this was still a good spot to get your fix.“
“Great sushi plus other Asian cuisine. I've been coming here for years for both lunch and dinner, including with family and friends.I've tried most of the menu and like everything. I really like the Japanese draft beers, but they have several beverage options.Dine in after 4 pm for half-price sushi. The non-sushi menu is solid. It's only one block from Fountain Square on 6th Street.“
“This is my go to Thai place in the area. Wished I visited months ago. The food is authentic, the service excellent. Knowing what goes into making it taste just right with the proper amount of spicy ?️! Portions are just right. We ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp, drunken noodles with beef and Panang curry with chicken. So good. Look forward to visiting the next time I’m back.“
“The food always looks and tastes fresh. Sushi has the tendency to not be filling, but at FUSIAN, I feel you really get your money’s worth. I really enjoy having the ability to customize my sushi rolls, as not many places allow you to do that. I also appreciate how many cooked protein options are available. Service is always fast and friendly.Overall, I would recommend!“
“I've been here multiple times and it's a family favorite, my and my cousin go almost once a week lol, compared to other places they have great prices to you can get a whole meal that fills you up for 15 bucks. The robots are cool too.“
“One of my favorite places to go to in Cincinnati! I visited this place during October of last year. The food and service was lovely and the atmosphere was great! Despite being pescatarian, there were so many options. Definitely worth trying out if you're in Cincinnati!“
“For a sushi restaurant that offers half priced sushi rolls, 5 stars across the board. This is one of three locations owned by the same people (Cloud 9 and Wabi Sabi). This right off to the side of Kenwood Mall. Service and food were quick. The rolls were very tasty. I think this location has more options than Wabi Sabi (Covington) and Cloud 9 (Mt Lookout).“
“Wow! What a little gem! And extremely reasonable price point for fresh, delicious, literal boatload of sushi! We got the sushi boat and it did not disappoint (see pic). The wait staff were extremely friendly and as excited as we were to bring the boat out to us lol. It was such a beautifully artistic presentation and the sushi was amazing! Def will be coming back!“
