“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.“

“My dinner was outstanding served by Emma, who is absolutely adorable. Very helpful with the menu and directed me in the right path choosing. Three lover served with white rice. Very nice place, will definitely come back atmosphere very friendly.“
“This is a very classy and expensive restaurant with a good view of the river if you get the seat that allows it. On my reservation, I specifically asked for a table by the window. I did not get that. But the evening was very good all in all“
Korean • $$
“I wanted to eat Korean spicy ramen that BTS Jimin eats, eventually I found it here. It was so delicious and all the staff were very kind. It's a Asian sushi restaurant, but if you want to taste Korean food such as Bulgogi, Japchae, spicy Soft Tofu stew and even hot pot bibimbap I highly recommend it.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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 great! They have a wide selection to choose from, and it all come out in order, and nothing was incorrect. The service was a little slow, and we were left with excess dishes and low drinks at times when it wasn't very busy. Would definitely recommend and would visit again!“
“We were a walk in and they were able to seat us on an early evening on a Tuesday. Andrew and Chloe were absolutely FANTASTIC and were extremely cognizant of my mom’s cheese allergy and my nieces deathly peanut allergy. They were attentive, always checking on us but never making us feel rushed and truly gave us a great experience. The food was some of the best i have had and i highly recommend this place. I would say to make reservations on busier days like the weekends for sure! Thank you again Andrew and Chloe!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“Absolutely delicious sushi. Got Carry out, but the restaurant seating itself seems pretty close together (small place,) but they do have some pretty cool drapes hung from the ceiling. It seem like you’re dining privately. Would definitely get sushi from there “
“Had an amazing experience at e+o Banks this Saturday with my girl friends! Went for the new brunch which was absolutely incredible! I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich or the burrito! Had amazing food and drinks ranging from the iconic brussel sprout and kale salad to the espresso martinis. Everything was incredible! Great atmosphere and our server Skyllar was beyond amazing! Would recommend this place for any occasion!Dietary restrictions: We had someone in our group with shellfish allergy and they were very accommodating to everything. Making sure to handle everything with care!“
“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.“
“This place has a bit of everything! Asian, Italian, Mexican, American... you name it. I'd encourage the restaurant to add a few Indian options as well As a vegetarian, I love that most dishes have a vegan version, you can ask to replace the meat with mock meat. There is also a vegetarian sushi with tofu and cream cheese which slaps! The ambiance is very warm and homey. The wait staff is extremely friendly and make great food suggestions. We went there during holiday season so the decor also was very Christmasy. There is parking around the restaurant, but it can feel tricky to find a good spot. All in all, it's a very modern twist to a food establishment in Northern Kentucky. Do come and try it out.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Loved this place1 I picked it because it was across the park from Memorial Hall, where I was going to see a show, and also because I love Indian food. I don't have any experience with Thai food but saw the word "curry" in the menu and tried it. What a good choice! The place was hopping on a Wednesday night, had a cool vibe, cool crowd and the food was awesome and the portion was huge. I had a reservation but decided to eat at the bar since I was alone and didn't want to take up a table for two. Lovely service, even thought they were very busy. I can't say enough how great this whole experience was.“
“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.“
“Fusabowl has its newest location in Norwood and let me tell you, it is TASTY! Fusabowl is an Asian grill & sushi restaurant that reminds me a lot of Fusian, another of my favorite "fast food" sushi restaurants. Everything I have tried there so far is delicious! Here is what I'd recommend: Build your own Hibachi bowlBuild your own sushi roll topped with spicy mayo and tempura crunchDragon Roll - my hubby's favoriteGyozaSeaweed Salad - a fav of mine and must have when I get sushi!“
“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.“
“La Hiro is a hidden gem in the Cincy area for traditional Japanese cuisine. Our family absolutely loves Kiki for its modern Japanese flavors, but La Hiro is our personal favorite for traditional Japanese. We were shocked to be here between 6:30-7:30 on a Saturday evening and we were the only ones in the restaurant. That is absolutely unacceptable for a restaurant of this quality. Don’t let the fact that it’s next to a liquor store in a small strip center turn you away. The quality and service are top notch…I just wish it was closer to home!“
“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.“
“Our go to place in Florence for sushi. It’s usually pretty good and fresh tasting. Today I’m a little disappointed with what they call the big “Spicy Lobster Roll”. It hardly had any lobster, more crab than anything, and the spicy mayo didn’t really make it spicy. And it wasn’t that big. They could at least rename it. Oh well, I still enjoy the food and service“
“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.“
“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.“
“We finally tried this place yesterday for the first time. We got a sushi roll to share at first and it was really good! I got the Hibachi chicken and my boyfriend got the Udon noodles with chicken. They were both delicious and came out so fast. The salad and onion soup were SO GOOD, probably one of the best soups I’ve tasted. We both had to get a box to go because it’s a lot of food! Our waiter was so nice and friendly too and he made the experience even better! I would definitely recommend this place.“
“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!“
“My daughter and I visit Cincinnati once or twice a year and ALWAYS save some time for this place. They have 1/2 price sushi EVERY DAY. The sushi is phenomenal. Our bill with 2 sushi rolls, drinks AND an appetizer was under $30. Worth every penny.“
“Just tried this place out! Small, clean and decorated with paintings !!! The lady that helped us was so nice and friendly ! She came and sat by us and chatted with us! It was a great experience!! The food was delicious! Definitely will be back!!“
“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.“
