“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!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
