We have been coming to Cloud 9 for years and in all honesty they have some of the best sushi in town. However the shitty service we received tonight might keep us from ever returning. Someone decided to seat a large party next to us while we were still eating. Apparently they would need our table to seat the whole group. We told the people already seated we wanted to order something else and weren't ready to leave as half their party were literally standing over us. That pissed them off which prompted them to ask the waiter if it was possible to put in a second order. The waiter confirmed to the other party, of course, you can order whatever you want. However when we asked the same waiter to order something else he clearly panicked because he had already given our table away. We could get something to go but essentially they had screwed up the seating. I understand it can get busy on a Saturday night but giving our table away before we've finished eating or received our check is the epitome of bad taste and bad management. I have never left a restaurant so angry and frustrated. It's time to find another sushi place. read more

This place is great. Service is great, food is great, people great. When I travel to Cincinatti I come here all the time and have not yet had a bad experience !! Great lob to all the staff !! read more

Good sushi at a good price. Some creative concoctions as well as the classics. You can eat in or take out. I also love that this place is open late! read more

Sushi "meh", Pad Thai "meh" (did make it a proper three spicy level though, like one is no spice two I can kinda taste it and three is I can feel it but my eyes aren't gonna water), service "meh", wine it was there but would have been better if it wasn't, atmosphere "meh" read more

I had a group of ten and when we asked a wait time they told us 30 minutes if that. We let them know also if they needed to split up our group that was perfectly fine because it is,only 11 degrees outside. They left us standing outside for 45 minutes as we watched at least 25 people get sat. Not only did he seat 4 people at a 6 top table but anytime he would seat someone else he would look at my group and then invite the other in. When we said something to him stating again we would split up he said I know but I though and then stopped speaking. When I asked to talk to his manager he told me he was in the back and blew me off. Cloud 9 has lost my entire families business. How disrespectful can someone be? read more

If you like waiting in 15° temperatures for over an hour by all means eat here. Because unless you're a hipster or college student that will be the case. read more

It's currently 15° outside and they had my party waiting outside for over an hour. We told them we were more than happy to be at separately so that we could be seated quicker. After seeing 32 other people being seating before us (one a party of 6 while we had a party of 10) we left. read more

Yum yum yum. So the food was about the same as Ichiban which is a good sign. The rolls were large, the prices great, the nigiri was delicious. What really did it for us over ichiban was the vibe. Where ichiban was this weird mix of packed-house yet dead-vibe, cloud9 felt intimate, perfect for sushi. I don't know how these places can give such thick cuts of fish for such low prices, but I totally approve. Nice to know there is delicious and affordable sushi in the area. read more

Absolutely DELICIOUS sushi. SO fresh and just yummy yummy yummy! Kind of a small restaurant. There was very little room between the tables and the bar area, so be prepared to get close to your neighbors. I had the spider roll and it was wonderful. My friend had the C9 Supreme and it was ten times better than mine. I highly recommend that one. Moderately priced; I think my roll was $15, and usually I like to get two rolls so I had to hold back and just stick to one. Definitely going back! read more

Did I order the wrong thing here but I don't understand what the draw of this place is? Just because its half price doesn't mean it has to be good people. I'm a fan of real sushi and this place was anything but. Actually any sushi place you leave smelling like fried fried food, you should stay away from. To top it off, the service was terrible. read more

I came back for dinner, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Everything was a great deal, including large bottles of sake for $2.50. I had the Alaskan roll (sooo good), crunchy tuna and firecracker rolls. I would definitely come back. My only reason for taking off a star was that the service was a bit slow and all of the tables were kind of crammed together on the side of the restaurant where we were sitting. read more

This is certainly not the best sushi I've had, but it is good sushi and the half price rolls after five cannot be beat. My fiance and I visited at 1 in the morning and they were full- this is definitely not what you'd expect for drunk people fare. We split four rolls and two slices of sashimi for under $25. Ooh, and I loved their indie pop rock ambient music. If this is Cincinnati's late-night food offering, other cities need to step up their games. read more

Went to cloud nine sushi tonight 12/04/2019 About 9:05 pm, they said there were a lot of people waiting (there was no one waiting) so I wanted to sit in the 4sester by the window so I could watch TV, no sports. The restaurant was half empty I just wanted to watch TV while i was having dinner, not sports. there was a show and the greeter ask if I wanted to sit there, but the man server would not let me sit at the four seater, he came over to me and said to me, you got a go order I said no well you can't sit here you can take a bar seat or wait till there's a seat empty there were 30 seats empty 25 chairs and 5 barstools, they need to fix the seating arrangement, not to many people in there at the time I was there, why can I sit where I want? there were 5 four seaters empty and then two empty seats right next to a 4 seater, when it comes to seating these people have problems that guy was very rude to me. I did not say their food was not good I just don't like to be treated like garbage I went in there to spend money, this is not the first time this is happened to me I went there during Oktoberfest and there might of been three tables being used they seem to want to cram you with everybody whether you like it or not, sometimes you just wanna sit by yourself not crammed with a bunch of other people, well they won't let you sit where you want No matter how few people they have there as read more

Very cheap and very good. Open super late which is very convenient. With an extremely casual and lively atmosphere, this is a true hole in the wall. The quality of the food is consistent and tasty. Made fresh to order, the sushi comes out lightning quick whilst the other menu items such as the Pad Thai take much longer. That is my only complaint. When eating with friends they have all finished there sushi while I'm still waiting on my entree. I was told by our server that "the kitchens work individually and do not communicate with each other." If they would make an effort to fix this then they would get a full 5 stars from me. All in all I would really recommend cloud 9 sushi! All the best. read more

Love their calamari. Sushi prices are reasonable and service is fast. Best to come at opening time, as the place packs pretty fast.

Love their sushi! Nothing too fancy about this place. Their drinks and appetizers are just as good too. They are open pretty late so whenever we come on the weekdays, there's always plenty of seating. However the restaurant is small. Plan on shared seating during high traffic times. read more

Not bad, not great. A solid 3 stars. The ambiance isn't there, but let's face it- this place markets itself for cheap eats and the bar crowd. So if you are looking for some wholesome food to eat after you have been drinking and nothing else is open- go! You won't be unhappy. But sober and wanting sushi- there are definitely better spots. So far I'm holding down my raw scallop, salmon, octopus nigiri so that's a solid 3 stars :) this place is not bad. read more

My absolute favorite and the best sushi place in Cincinnati HANDS DOWN, NO COMPARISON ! They have the best Sunday morning roll in the world and their servers are always on point. The place fills up quickly for good reason. read more

I am absolutely dumbfounded by this place. A friend and I decided to check it out last night after going out since ichiban (our favorite) was closed. We sat at the sushi bar for 30 minutes without being acknowledged despite asking several servers what was going on. Then when we went to leave after giving up I told the host and said "just so he knew we waited forever" and he literally looked at me and said "if you don't like it there is the door." Okay, I get that they have to deal with a lot of difficult drunk people late night, however I was not one of them and the lack of service and extreme rudeness was unacceptable. I will not be going back and will be letting the restaurant as well as my friends and family know my disappointment. read more

Okay, when your drunk but that's about it! Go next door and check out ichiban. Much better quality fish, seaweed, and rice. Nothing special... read more

Completely obsessed with this restaurant!!! We moved out of town, and every time we come back, we have to go....multiple times! If you love sushi, you should try could 9. Half price...you can't beat it. I have a hungry husband who can eat 6 rolls himself...so needless to say, sushi dates are expensive. But with cloud 9, we can have awesome sushi and not lose an arm and a leg. We do eat a lot of sushi, so we have had our fair share of bad and good. Compared to other places, it has to be in our top 5 for taste. So not only is it a great deal, but it's one of our favorites. Love it :) read more

It might just be my taste, but this place has the most delicious crave-able sushi I have ever had. This is truly my favorite restaurant. I recommend the C9 Supreme, the Red Double and the Sunday Morning. Those are my go-to rolls to share between 2 people. Another great roll which isn't on the menu is the Phoenix (it's huge). Also good is the crab salad. Get there before 7 for half price beers every day. They have large bottles of Sapporo and Kirin for 7$ full price! The place is small so I would not recommend large parties on the weekend. I would recommend hitting this place late night after bars at Mt. Lookout square! read more

Great late night sushi spot. I think I've tried every roll on the menu but my favorites are the volcano roll (sushi & cheese wut) and the spider roll. The best part is when the bill comes I am always pleasantly surprised by how inexpensive it is. Make sure you dine in for half price of course. read more

If you haven't been here you need to go! Food and service is amazing and so is pricing. High end sushi without paying a ridiculous amount for it!! The atmosphere in the restaurant is perfect too!! Go!! read more

First time here I tried the C9 supreme and Sunday morning roll since the reviews said they were great. They were awesome!!! We are definitely coming back! Not to mention half off... Six rolls for 30.00! read more

The sushi here is very good and moderately priced. Most of the rolls are very tasty. We eat here about once a month. It is important to note that we have always had exceptional service here. All of the wait staff are very pleasant and helpful. read more

The sushi was good, half price sushi doesn't hurt! But I do not like hectic, bustling restaurants that require me to give up my personal space. I prefer a cozy, private, booth for two. This place is non-stop. read more

Cloud freaking 9! Oh how you have made me hate other Sushi joints, growing up I had such an uneducated opinion about Sushi saying things like "eeew raw fish" "who would eat meat that isn't cooked" "its so little you would have to eat twenty". Well now I eat raw fish, I then learned its not all raw and yes judge me but I eat at least three rolls. Who do I have to thank for now often indulging in this wonderful cuisine? My Cambodian friend (hilarious right) one fine evening she talked both myself and my now ex jock turned farmer friend into visiting this delicious establishment. I've never looked back. I still have a hard time trying new things due to the fact that I love the C9 and Eel Roll, but I have had all of the basics. It is all wonderful, I have visited a good amount of Sushi joints here in Cincinnati, Florida and in Missouri (bad idea). Cloud 9 will amaze you, even when busy (99% of the time) the service is still scary good. The Chefs (I don't know the technical name if one) are top notch and very friendly. The Calamari is second to none that I have had and is piled a mile high for less than $10. The Beer selection is okay, the only bad beer I have ever had by Dogfish Head I had here, so bad I forgot the name. Plenty of other good ones though. If you like Sushi and you haven't had Cloud 9 then pop in and love Sushi when you leave. read more

Cloud 9 Sushi - Eel, C9, philly - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This evening for dinner I ordered chicken and rice and a Sunday morning roll. Well considering the fact I only received 4 pieces of sushi is kind of ridiculous. Paid $18.00 for this meal and full price for the sushi since it was carry out. Definitely got ripped off this go around. read more

Not bad. Not bad at all. I'm not sure I understand the whole "sushi is always 50% off" gimmick-- why not just change the prices on the menu?-- but questionable marketing tactics aside, it's cheap and tasty. The service can be a bit scattered, but it's a pretty small and busy place, so I kind of get it. Based on our two visits, I don't see it as a reason not to return. Everyone is friendly and the overall feel is very casual. The bottom line: If you're looking for sushi in Mt. Lookout (or Cincinnati in general, let's be honest), you could certainly do worse. read more

I have eaten here many times, They typically have great customer service, Food, and overall atmosphere.

I love this place!!! Please go because you won't regret it!!!! Try the sunday morning roll! YUMMY!!!

I believe all that was changed from its previous inhibitor (Dancing Wasabi who moved on up from Mt. Lookout to Hyde Park) is its name. One thing I do not understand which seems to be a common practice with sushi places is "Half Price Sushi" all the time (Cloud Nine Sushi participates in this trend). Is "Half Price" the new "Low Price"? Personally, I believe it devalues one's brand, etc, but I regress. The sushi is good for "Half Price" sushi and cocktail "The Dragon" I had last time I was there was quite tasty. read more

Great selection, good prices, decent services.

Best sushi I've ever had. I would rate more than 5 stars if that was possible. The Sunday morning roll is life-changing. I'm here almost every other day. read more

Yes the resturant needs a fire hose to clean it up I'm surprised that the B.O.H.hasn't shut it down I hope the food storage areas r up to temp it's To bad they don't practice sanitary conditions just watch the staff it's gross the sushi guys really great. read more

I only give them 2 stars because the food was great. I didn't like the experience at all. One employee was constantly complaining out loud which was annoying. Complaining about door dash runners.... Other employees didn't even really talk to the customers; didn't smile. Basically it felt like they wanted to hurry up, do their service and get you out. I felt bad for the employees that we're making the food because the waiters were mean to them. Then the employee that was complaining about the door Dash runners was mocking customers laughs. Everything just seems so messy and unprofessional. read more

To all my sushi lovers. This is one of the best places in town. Seating is limited so don't get cross if you are sitting on someone's lap. I'm a calamari snob, and they have the best! Our server Greg was amazing. read more

Tried the pad Thai again and made the heat rating 4/5 . It was amazing! What really bummed me out is the waiter asked us if I wanted a check because my friends had already finished and I didn't even get my food yet. Rip read more

Service was fine. The rating is for the food more then anything. Sushi isn't fresh. Weak menu. Its cheap and stays open late.
