    Fried rice to accompany the crispy garlic chicken
    Josh C.

    I ordered on Uber Eats (it was a late night working, okay ) and I didn't expect much, to be honest. Ordering Asian food for delivery is a lot like buying something on Temu; you never know what you're getting. But this is quite literally some of the best Asian food I've had in quite some time. I tried the Lettuce Wraps, Crispy Garlic Chicken and also ordered the Basil Fried Rice to take to work for lunch tomorrow. All I can say is Well Done. My tastebuds ascended from my body, into the heavens of flavor punches to the face and I'm left speechless at how delicious this food is. If it's this good delivered, I can't imagine how good it is at the actual restaurant. I'm going to call ahead to make sure the same chef is back there (assuming it was God Himself with how good the food is) just I can experience the in person train to flavor town. Thanks for tasty food y'all!

    Chicken House Pad Thai
    Natalie R.

    Food: 3.5/5 We got the gyoza, chicken pad Thai, hibachi steak, and Thai tea (cause you know I'm obsessed). Gyoza is nice and crispy with a good dipping sauce. The chicken pad Thai was a bit heavy on the fish sauce for me, but it might have just been that order. I ordered the spice at a six, thinking it wouldn't be hot, but it had more kick than expected. Hibachi steak was good with yum yum dipping sauce. The Thai teas were tasty and a nice sweet treat. I didn't order it this time, but their chicken khao soi soup is super tasty. It inspired me to make it home. Definitely, my favorite dish there. Service: 4.5/5 I've never been there when it's packed, so usually, the service is fast and attentive. However, they are pumping out a lot of take-out orders, so at the same time, the staff is busy. Atmosphere: 3.5/5 Small and intimate dining room. The space is clean and feels very warmly decorated. They have many lucky bamboo plants, so you know it's a great Asian restaurant. Their parking is limited, but their takeout is well executed.

    Crispy garlic chicken & traditional fried rice

    We Uber eats Asian spice bistro pretty frequently & let me tell you, they have never missed! We order our favorite, crispy garlic chicken, every time and it remains to be delicious!! The chicken is still crispy by the time we receive our order and the flavoring of the sauce is too good. I highly recommend.

    Wings
    Grace R.

    The pictures make the sushi look amazing but it is not at all. I couldn't eat a roll it had a rotten fish flavor. The wings were good but that was about it. We were also the only people in the restaurant so that was not a very good sign. Service was good nothing special.

    Drunken Noodles Lunch Special
    Sonam P.

    For these lunch special prices, I'd definitely go back. I work in the area and a friend of mine suggested this place when we went out for lunch. I love Thai food so I was eager to try it out. From the outside it may look a bit out of place and shady, but once you go inside, you"ll see it's actually a nice little restaurant inside. They offer great deals for lunch from sushi rolls to noodles and rice. I think he portions are just right as well as you don't feel stuffed afterwards but your hunger is satisfied. I got the Drunken Noodles. Although it was darker and sicker than I usually get, the noodles were still tasty. I actually love sauces and want a lot so it worked out better for me. However, that does make the noodles softer rather than a bit stiff like drunken noodles are. I did wish it had a little more vegetables. My friends got sushi rolls that seemed fresh and delicious. They are larger rolls so filling if you just got one for lunch. It seems a lot of people do take out from there as it isn't that busy for lunch inside the restaurant (the place is smaller so probably for the best) and I saw a lot of folks come in and out to pick up orders. This isn't my favorite Thai place in Cincinnati, but I would be back for the lunch specials so I can try more of the dishes.

    This is $18 worth of salad. It did come with a small container of watered-down sugar ginger dressing?
    Greg M.

    Took a try on this place. Won't do it again. Does that really look like $18 worth of salad? 5 pcs of spinach, maybe 26 pcs of iceberg, 3 slices of tomato, and two cucumber slices. The general chicken was pretty good. the spider roll was cooked in burnt oil, and the eel roll was just dry. $58 please.

    Wheres the pickled mustard greens? There are also meant to be crispy egg noodles and not wonton strips that lose all composure.

    Some stars added because theTom Kha was good, as was my roommate's Pho). The problem arose with my meal. I ended up not receiving the Khao Soi as advertised. There were very few red onions, no crispy egg noodles (instead they gave me a handful of damp wonton strips), no shallots, and no pickled mustard greens, as they stated should be included. I ended up basically just getting curry with some soft (bland and partially hardened) noodles, which is not what I ordered and was a frankly unacceptable substitute of their regular yellow curry with noodles. If I wanted curry with bad noodles I'd have ordered their curry and used some store-bought nasty noodles. Gross and overpriced and unfortunately enough to deter me from trying what used to be a staple anytime soon. EDIT: oh wait, the tom yum very obviously didn't include any cooked mushrooms and arrived cold. The mushrooms that WERE on it still had a raw texture and were obviously tossed on top of soup that I suspect had sat on the counter long enough to get cold. I didn't eat the shrimp and suspect it wasn't safe. ANOTHER EDIT: There were small pieces of chicken in the Khao Soi. I ordered tofu. This is a cluster, jfc. The tom kha averted these issues, thankfully.

    Crab rangoon - fantasic! California Roll - good! Shrimp Tempura Roll - not a fan... not sure why, just didn't hit the spot. Three Flavored Snapper - awesome! It's a breaded snapper topped with tamarind and ginger soy sauce served with steamed broccoli and I can't handle _any_ spice so I got "zero" (yes the receipt actually said "zero spicey" and it had a mild zing to it. I'm certain if you like spice a one through ten would light you up, and have at it! Interesting how many take out and UberEats orders went out in the 30 minutes we were there! Give it a try eat in or take out or delivery, I think it's a good call!

They are reservation only and it can be a challenge to get a reservation, so make sure you check their Instagram to figure out when they become available. We came here for a dinner reservation. For the vibes, they have 8 seats and sell out basically every single reservation. There were 2 people making the sushi and they were both super friendly and made great conversation. Each bite was carefully crafted and came with a thorough explanation of the individual parts and how they fit together. I don't think my words will do enough to explain each bite, but check out the pictures if you are interested. They have a few beers, cocktails, sake, and whiskey if you are interested in a drink to go with your meal. Overall, worth a visit for an excellent omakase experience!

The servers had already given the other customers a warm towel to clean their hands. We only knew this because the hand towels were still on the table next to the customers. We didn't receive the towels and instead used our own hand sanitizer after they mentioned we'd be eating with our hands. The hand towels remained on the table and were never taken away. The green tea was perfect on a cold snowy day. The fatty tuna was excellent in both the nigiri and hand roll. Presentation was 10/10 and flavor was there for each piece. However, when the food was given out the chef presented the food like he was reading off a menu. There was no additional information on what went into it and what he was doing. The food was delicious and fresh! The overall experience was sub par. I would think if we're paying this much that it would be more of an experience. Especially in Cincinnati when people crave culture and are going there for a cultural experience, I would expect for knowledge given and information. Rather than having to ask for information

So, for the hellzbellz of it, I thought I'd just put in my exact notes. Here it goes: "Max is a delight. Shrimp Shumai is wonderful. Chicken Fried Rice is done properly without being over seasoned or too salty. Spicy Tuna will run you out of town!" HA! What fun notes I left for myself. I do recall their drinks being very nice and strong. Totally worth ordering a fun adult beverage. Max was an absolute delight... just a nice human being. I remember we'd had a really rough day and Max read the vibe. Without being overwhelming, Max just made dinner a wonderful experience. Thanks, Max. You're good people. The entire food scene was great that night. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Even though this was a while back, I remember we took leftovers home (which I NEVER eat)... that night, I ate them! Price was on-point, ambiance is great... sit away from the door if you are a wuss like me and hate the cold "door blast". I remember being impressed by the amount of take-out and doordash that was lined along the counter. Kanji OTR is solid. We'll look forward to visiting again!
