As others have noted, the entrance is a little hard to find and there isn't really anywhere to wait if you don't arrive exactly on time. Every course at this omakase was incredibly delicious and beautifully prepared. I enjoyed it all very much and I thought it was a good amount of food and the price was fair for the excellent quality. The staff was very attentive and very friendly. The ambiance is spot on for a traditional sushi bar. I enjoyed my experience very much and I would highly recommend it to sushi fans.

It's an intimate experience with only a few guests per seating. The chef talked with all of us the whole time, explaining each piece of sushi. At the end, I even got to touch the shark skin used to grate the fresh wasabi, which made the night feel extra special. If you want authentic omakase in Cincinnati, plan ahead and book Roji.

We were aiming for dim sum a couple doors down, but they were slammed and had no out of the way place to wait. So, we walked a few yards and went into Kawa. Tablets are used to order appetizers, drinks, etc. All delivered by a robot or a train on a track above the conveyor. The sushi itself, along with other items like dessert, rolls by constantly. The best part, pricing is clear. Everything on the belt is $3.45 per plate, subject to change, of course. The sushi was fresh and the portions were in line with the prices. If you've never had conveyor belt sushi or you just want to try something a little unique to the Cincinnati area, Kawa is the place. While this location is a little out of the way for us, Hyde Park is a quick drive and we will return.

We were able to resolve promptly hence why no stars were taken off I'm a little nervous it is so empty because they are offering something pretty unique in the area and I want it to stay!

Our server was very kind and helpful - she walked us through the process. There's sushi available on the revolver, but we can also order additional menu items from a screen at the table. It was great for someone like me who doesn't typically stray from my regular sushi order - it made me try different types of roles and only have a few pieces if they weren't my favorite. All the revolving plates are $3.45, so low risk if it's not your favorite. But all the rolls we tried were good! And the dessert we ordered at the end was good too. Great time and we will be back!

Portion sizes were good, and presentation appealing... but the flavors and pricing left much to be desired.

Don't get me wrong.... it wasnt AWFUL. But for the price theyre asking for, I expected better quality. I'd eat here again if someone wanted to, but I don't think I'd ever recommend it.
