Great small business with authentic food. We went for a work lunch with a group of six. We ordered:1. Miso soup - not too salty (4.5/5 ?)2. Salad - ginger dressing is savory and deliciously ?. (5/5 ?)3. Dosalt Bibimbap - I enjoyed this authentic dish. Fresh quality ingredients. (5/5 ?)4. Bulgogi beef - the person who ordered enjoyed. (5/5 ?)5. We ordered a few sushi rolls, and all were tasty. (5/5 ?)

My dining experience here was exceptional in every way. The attentive staff, inviting atmosphere, and delectable flavors all contributed to an unforgettable meal. I am already looking forward to my next visit and will eagerly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an authentic Korean dining experience!

It was so great to go back here again after some years away. I had liked it before, but this time I was even more impressed by the food here. Many to most Korean restaurants I have seen in the U.S. haven't seemed authentic at all to me, but this one really does. The Chapchae was just like the Chapchae I used to have in Korea, and I'd say the Pajon we had seemed even better than the Pajon I had in Korea. Also, they served delicious, popular side dishes I was used to and also one that was an interesting spin-off of what I'd had before. This is in a convenient downtown location, and it was really cool to be able to watch the FC Cincinnati game on the screen at Fountain Square while walking back to the car.

Plates and spoons were chipped! The fried calamari tasted like plastic, and also felt like it too! The only thing saving them is the mediocre sushi and the cute metal silver wear that they give you to eat you food with.

This is a little restaurant on Vine, right across from the Hampton/Homewood hotel. The staff are really friendly and professional. Quiet atmosphere, and feels like fine dining. The menu has a pretty good selection, and their sushi menu is great as well. Definitely my new comfort food spot when I come to visit Cincinnati.

Underwhelmed for the price. Only had the Soon tofu and 2 cups of tea = $22. It had 2 little clams and some strips of the calamari. While I still ate all the soup (didn’t want to waste it), it lacked a lot of flavor. Felt more like a watered down version I could make myself. Strike that - I would have loaded up with more seafood. I realize I didn’t pay additional for the seafood combo, but I expected more than 2 clams and a couple strips of the calamari. Felt a little bitter that my second cup of tea was another $3.5. Would have been nice to be warned, but I didn’t ask so I paid it anyway. The hot tea was too sweet which is not what I expected - I was hoping the second cup was better - no. Parking happened to be easy, but I was lucky a space opened up. I’ll pass on trying again. There are too many other Korean places in town.

Food was delicious. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the sushi but everything else was delicious.

Park on the nearby public Parking lots. We walked in without reservation. We were shortly greeted and seated. The restaurant was not busy, yet it took 7 minutes until a waiter took our appetizer and drinks order. They arrived after a long wait. The waiter was knowledgeable, inattentive and did not seem to care about providing service. The food presentation is not great, yet tasted good to the ordered spiciness level. Having been and eaten in South Korea, this restaurant serves very watered down Korean style food. It add to the diversity of the area's food offerings.

The Bimibap here is the best in the city. The homemade Gojujang sauce makes the dishes. Slightly disappointed in the size of the cuts of the nigiri sushi.Absolutely order the vegetable dumplings, you won’t regret it!

This place has been my favorite for a while. I'm so glad it still there; survive the pandemic! We don't go there much anymore since my husband doesn't work in downtown anymore but we try to visit every now and then. Still good service (same ppl) and food as I remember it. Love their paejon.

Really enjoyed my dining experience here. While on our way to attend the ballet we made the decision to have dinner in advance of the performance. Finding a great pace to eat last minute in downtown Cincinnati can be close to impossible. Fortunately, we found Haru and had a good meal. Plus the service was great. We were greeted warmly when we entered the location and quickly seated by the window. Arguably the best seats/table in the restaurant. We both ordered from their sushi menu. I have the vegi sushi at $8 was a bargain. Plus I had their house salad with ginger dressing. It was delicious and fresh, probably the best ginger dressing I've had, the salad was crisp and fresh. Great meal, great service and a convenient location will definitely have us back again.

Awesome service and staff. Mary provided great guidance with my main dish selection. Food is tasty, drinks are good, reasonably priced.
