40 Best Japanese Restaurants in Cincinnati

“The best sushi for very normal price.

1. They have conveyor belt which revolves food hence the name.
2. Each plate costs $3.33 on conveyor belt. Consists of 3-4 pieces of sushi or sashimi or any salad.
3. If you want outside conveyor belt. You can order on the screen. The food will get served on toy cars on top track.
4. You can grab whatever you want from conveyor belt and eat. They would count the lid and charge based on lid count.
5. For $3.33 , don’t think about the taste. It’s absolute best tasting sushi.
6. If you want more delicious and tastier sushi, then have takeout. Costs more but the freshness and deliciousness Is much more and you would love it.

My favorites are as follows…
1. Bengals sushi - the best
2. Forest sushi
3. Seaweed salad
4. Spicy edamame
5. Dragon sushi
6. Spicy dragon sushi“

“Loved it all! Super cool place!“

“This is the best food in Cincinnati and the best Japanese food I’ve ever had. Mochi-mochi panic- Amazing Udon- Amazing Hokkaido Smash Burger- Amazing Curry Don- Amazing There batting .1000 Every last dish I tried was the best of its kind I’ve ever had“

“Stopped in with some co workers, very welcoming and chill vibe! Drinks were delicious more importantly the bartender, host, and owner were all very professional and friendly. Worth stopping by“

“just looking for dinner before a show at the Aronoff. greatly surpassed expectations. waitstaff (Jamie) was very friendly and highly efficient. would recommend“

“Great food and customer service..“

“From the soup and salad all the way through the entire meal, it was wonderful we had a lot of fun so entertaining to watch the chef have some excellent food.
Each shift did things just a little bit different, but it was very fun to watch not only our chef but others around. So it's fun to see each Chef cooking and entertaining everyone. My steak and scallops were cooked perfectly just the way I like them. It was all so delicious.
I'm looking forward to going back again and trying their sushi some time soon.“

“The ramen never disappoints, and you can customize to your preference with a variety of add-ins. The appies and rice bowls are also delicious. Oh, and their chasu (pork) is life-altering. Highly recommended!“

“It’s me, back again to rave again about Kiki. Apparently people usually only leave reviews when they don’t like something, so now every time I leave raving 5 star reviews, I get comments saying I was paid for it 😂 so please know these are my own words and they are not being encouraged by anyone but my tummy. Kiki is my favorite neighborhood spot. It is everything I could want, from ambiance to experience and server interaction to the food. I have a lot of food aversions and pickiness and I have never had anything I disliked or sent back or even wanted to! (I could list my favorites but it would just be everything… but if I have to recommend specifics to a new Kiki-goer; start with the karrage, seaweed salad, Napa Caesar, and the Shio ramen) Every single thing I have had here is delicious, prepared and served with care, and the only negative thing is when they close. I don’t have any food photos to share, but I do have a meme I made out of my love for Kiki. 🫶“

“I ate at this restaurant for the first time today and I will definitely be coming back in the future. The menu is simple yet provides a variety of flavors at a reasonable price. When the staff served the food they even made sure there was no mess outside of the container and wiped it down with a napkin, which is a small detail but is very appreciated. I had not eaten all day and the portions are so generous I ate only 1/3 of my plate (Chicken Teriyaki, noodles and fried rice with vegetables) and have plenty of leftovers for later. I am looking forward to trying more of their menu in the future.“

“We were looking for recommendations for lunch after we went to the zoo. We had delivery from this place probably 5 years ago and it was so good. I talked to my friends about revisiting today and boy I'm so glad we did! Not only did we have super size portions, The food was fantastic! I recommend anyone taking a trip to the zoo to check out Ninja grill afterwards for lunch!“

“Great tonkotsu Ramen. big portion“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal 😍 I ordered a teriyaki salmon bento box and it came with all of this for $20! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This was the first time we were at Kabuto, we always want to Sakura and since that closed down, we thought we come to Colerain! Everything was delicious, cheaper than Sakura and you got way more food!

Vegetarian options: I really didn’t look however I know you can get just vegetables if you’d like or noodles and vegetables

Parking: Plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome“

“The food was outstanding it was my first time there“

“The food is absolutely delicious. It is authentic. Love Love LOVE THE spicy kimchi Ramen. Definitely a hidden gem in Cincinnati and very affordable.“

“Great food and great atmosphere“

“Delicious, good prices, and very friendly and helpful staff (picked up an order during a downpour and one of the ladies working here came out with an umbrella and offered to walk me to my car!). The Cahsew Chicken, Garlic Chicken, and Curry are awesome. Great addition to the neighborhood!“

“I was so happy when I saw you all are on Postmates! I haven't had your food since I stopped working upstairs. Everything was delicious! Thank you!“

“We went here to celebrate a birthday and the birthday girl had never been to a Japanese Steakhouse before. She loved it! The food was great, the chef did an awesome job and made it really fun. We went for lunch and the prices were pretty cheap. I would go back if I was in the area again!“

“Recently moved to the area and wanted to try any local all you can eat sushi places. This place did not disappoint!
The food was quality and the servers were nice. They stopped giving me the menu back after about 50 sushi, which is understandable I guess lol.“

“We were looking for recommendations for lunch after we went to the zoo. We had delivery from this place probably 5 years ago and it was so good. I talked to my friends about revisiting today and boy I'm so glad we did! Not only did we have super size portions, The food was fantastic!

“Best sushi hands down! #sushifriday“

“My daughter and mine first time. Nick was sensational. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Food was great and timely. We definitely will be back. Thanks for a great experience“

“Love there Chicken and Salmon. There food is delicious 😋. I highly recommended this place.“

“Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki was excellent! We get it to go and are never disappointed. I hope this eatery moves to a store front if Eastgate Mall phases out their food court. We hear big changes are coming to the mall, so we are hoping the food court stays in place. Love this food and YES, you get a lot for the price. Try it! You will be surprised“

“I have always loved E+O but their costumer service these past few days have been top notch. I made an error when getting an online gift card and Kayla immediately hopped in and solved this issue quickly. I love the food and love the atmosphere!“

“Today was our first time here and everything was amazing and great price!“

“Amazing Food Tasty Environment Great!!!“

“3 months, and they continue to ignore my messages. They charged me for the wrong thing and there was a problem with my Miso soup. Definitely a company who couldn't care less about customers.“

“Mindy took excellent care of me and my dining experience this evening- the volcano, rainbow, Sunday morning, tempura rolls & bbq eel and mackerel nigiri all hit the spot with a tall can of Sapporo. 🌈 🍣 🍺“

“My husband and I just found our new Chinese restaurant. We ordered from here for the first time and both of us looked at each other and said, “our new place.” The food is freshly cooked and delicious.“

“Friendly, fast, and amazing portions“

“We were pleasantly surprised by this place. The atmosphere, service, and the food were top notch. Will definitely be back.“

“I don’t often go out of my way to leave reviews but my experience today was wonderful! I was looking to doordash food today, between being sick and the holidays I just needed something easy. I have Celiac and finding new places is so difficult. I called to ask about gluten free choices and substitutions! I unfortunately didn’t catch the name of the young woman on the phone but she was so happy to help and when she wasn’t confident in the answer she stopped to go confirm! This make me feel so confident and I got gluten free pho with chicken and a philly roll! It was still perfect temperature when it arrived and everything was packed securely and they even left notes on my food to confirm it was gluten free! The way a business handles food allergies with sensitivity and intention speaks volumes to the integrity of an establishment and its employees! Please give the young woman on the phone a holiday bonus- food allergies or not this is definitely a place to spend your money !“

“Love the salmon superfood salad.“

“I used to not be able to get out of this place for under $30! Well now it just cost me $60 with the tip! But I have to admit it was worth every penny and it always will be.“

“Arrived half an hour before close, but they work fast, so I had enough time to eat there. My salmon poke bowl with avocado was delish.

I like the Japanese themed decor (cool lamps). They have three KatchFun machines (like the claw from Toy Story) to try your hand at grabbing cute plushies.“

“I love everything about Fusabowl!!“
