Everything was fantastic. Ordered the chicken tacos for an appetizer. Then for our main dish we ordered hey vinnie roll, dragons breath roll, & spicy tuna roll as well as the chicken fried rice. Everything was packed with a ton of flavor and super fresh! Definitely recommend if you are in the Cincinnati area. read more

E+O Kitchen is always a vibe -- especially right at The Banks where the party starts. The Deal Closer roll (yes, the fried one) is phenomenal. Crispy on the outside, packed with flavor on the inside, and perfectly indulgent. It's the roll you have to order. The fried rice? 10/10. Savory, flavorful, and somehow just as memorable as the sushi. Cocktails are great, service is consistently good, and the ambiance is really where it's at. If you're starting your night out at The Banks, this is the move. read more

Cool vibe, friendly staff and interesting food. Try the sticky ribs. Process are in the high side but given the attention they pay to the place and smiles of their staff, i think it is well deserved. We had the tofu bowl, ceasar salad and miso Chilean seabass. All were tasty. read more

I was in town for a conference recently and decided I wanted to do a quick happy hour snack. This place popped up near my hotel so I thought I'd give it a shot. First, it was scary to get to - there's a huge road you have to cross and it's not pedestrian friendly. I guess it's more designed to be a place people hit prior to going to the football games or something, so they'd already be parked on the other side. So - keep that in mind in case you want to Uber instead. I ordered the edamame and shrimp tempura sushi off the half price happy hour menu. My server was nice - and there was literally NO ONE else in the place. Given that, it took forever to get my order. The edamame was under-salted and over cooked. The sushi was just eh - I mean, I guess I wasn't expecting much from sushi in Ohio, but it's not that difficult to do shrimp tempura sushi well anywhere. Overall, it was an okay experience. If I'm back in town, this probably wouldn't be tops on my list for a return visit, but you really can't beat the half price deals. read more

Was visiting from out of town for work and looking for a quick place to eat. Stopped here and sat at the bar. They have some great happy hour deals at the bar. Half off certain apps and drinks so I took advantage of that. The service was quick and helpful. This restaurant looks like it could be a great place to hang out before a game as it is right next door to paycor stadium. Will definitely stop by again if I'm in town. read more

We go to E+O every year for Valentine's Day and this was our first time at The Banks location. Everybody was so welcoming, the gentleman working the door and the ladies at the host stand were so kind! Our waitress, Lexi, was absolutely incredible. Even the playlist they had on was great. We get the same thing to eat every year, but it was just as good as it always is. Their specialty salad is our favorite, but everything is truly to die for. Thank you E+O and the wonderful staff for always taking care of us!! read more

Like I promised, I came back many more times. This time, we avoided the extra smoky lamb chops, however, we got a variety of rolls, including our favorites from last time, and tried several new dishes as well! The fried rice is absolutely scrumptious! It was very flavorful, fried just right, balanced flavors but beautifully seasoned and makes you want to just keep eating it. I probably would prefer it a bit less spicy but the flavors were so good that the spiciness didn't deter me from finishing the bowl and my kid's bowl :) Unfortunately, none of the rolls utilize purple rice anymore which was a favorite for my kids. Sometimes the sticky ribs didn't fall off the bone as much as other times but it's still good and the flavor is great. The burger though, was surprising very delicious! Love this place as a go-to for consistently delicious food. I prefer to take it to go because the music videos they have playing on the screen sometimes are a bit too kinky for mealtimes read more

The food was very good overall. The edamame was very spicy and absolutely delicious, and my wife loved the lamb chops. Everything was well prepared and full of flavor. We can't wait to return in a few months on our next trip! read more

Second time in...very fun vibes on a beautiful day! Fantastic patio to enjoy the bridges and great weather! Food options are very creative and flavorful! Last time I had the Sishito peppers which were finger licking yummy! This time I opted for the crispy Brussels and kale salad as my appetizer. It is very rich... loved the flavor, but better to share for me! I also got the rainbow roll (hold the tuna) which was very tasty with asparagus and crab in the center. I will be getting it again! Service is prompt and friendly. Casual vibes with trendy music. read more

E&O is a good semi casual option. Service is friendly and very attentive. Setting is nice but not overdone. Being at the banks there's a lot of bar traffic but that's fine. The food is always as expected which is done well. A few downsides, after ordering appetizers, sushi, salad, and entrée our salad and salad came at the same time. That could've been paced better. Although not super busy, the restrooms were not attended to with used paper on the floor in copious amounts, water stains all over the sink and solid surfaces. Hopefully they were just having an off night with their cleaning duties, but knowing that staff has to use the restroom throughout the night, there could be some better training with regards to keeping up with the cleanliness. read more

We went to the banks location and throughly enjoyed our dinner before a show. We did mostly shareable items. Portions were enough for 2-3 to share unless noted by our server. Prices were decent. Drinks were just the right balance. The atmosphere was open and modern. It was not too loud and we were able to have a good conversation. Parking in the freedom center garage was convenient. I'll be back. read more

We had a great time at E+O Kitchen. I didn't want to deal with loud crowds and bar food prior to a Saturday Reds game so choosing this place was a great decision. A couple blocks away from Great American Ball Park it is a perfect place to enjoy the area but not be right in the middle of the crowds. The service and food were great. The only low point is that the portions were really small. I definitely could have done two entree's myself. read more

This was my second visit to this location (I have also been to the one in Hyde Park) & I can't say enough good things about either. The ambiance this visit was very calm with some nice music to set the tone. Our server was attentive & friendly. For being downtown, the parking situation isn't terrible, as there is a parking garage attached, as well as plenty in the area to choose from. I started with the tuna poke tower & wow - what a way to set the bar high for the rest of the meal! Sesame soy, ginger, pickled onions, & melt-in-your-mouth tuna were atop a creamy delicious avocado spread & served with crispy wontons. I liked this more than I dreamed I would, & was surprised how much my husband liked it as well. I had two sushi rolls - the Hey Vinnie & the Deal Closer. They Hey Vinnie Tempura had salmon, avocado, & asparagus inside & was topped with tuna, jalapeno, cilantro, eel sauce, & wasabi aioli. If I could describe the perfect roll, it would be this. One of the best sushi rolls I had was in Arizona & this reminds me SO much of that one! The Deal Closer was made with tempura shrimp, snow crab, cream cheese, cucumber, & avocado, tempura fried, & topped with spicy mayo & unagi sauce. As far as fried rolls go, this is definitely a top favorite for me. It's so crispy with so many delicious flavors throughout - highly recommend. We like to divide & conquer, so I had some of my husband's sticky burger with BBQ sauce & was so surprised at how delicious it was. It had been recommended to him many times, but it is so hard not to just order a bunch of sushi. The burger is made with Wagyu Beef, peanut butter, fried onions, & cheddar & served with a side of potato wedges. The burger was deliciously juicy & the peanut butter was an interesting flavor combination that worked really well with other the meat, onions, & cheese. The wedges were also really good & seasoned well. For dessert I enjoyed the Bailey's chocolate pot de creme. The server advised this, along with their key lime pie, are made in house. It was a good chocolatey dessert, but I wouldn't say it knocked my socks off. Everything else though - phew. This was still a nice little way to wrap up the meal & it gives us an excuse to come back & see what the other desserts are like. read more

Great sushi! I came here for a lunch around 1:30pm on a Saturday. There weren't any events happening nearby (to my knowledge) so the place was about half full at the tables and empty at the bar. The sound levels with good. No one having to yell over each other or the music. The music is upbeat pop. Drink: Lemon Kind - it was heavy on the coconut water. I almost couldn't taste any lemon until I squeezed in the slice it came with. Definitely could not taste the pineapple. Probably would not order again Food: Many of their rolls are made with shrimp tempura which I try to avoid these days. Thankfully they had no problem swapping out the shrimp for raw salmon, and without an upcharge! The only roll they said they could not do a substitution was the Closer because they remake those since it is a deep fried roll. Dragons Breath - I really liked this roll. My favorite part of sushi is the different textures and this roll plays into that. The inside, with my substitution, is soft and creamy, whereas the outside is crunchy from the shallots. The roll is served on top of a sweet sauce, but still good dipped into soy sauce. Side of asparagus - I opted for a side because 2 rolls would have been too much food, the sashimi plates have had mixed reviews, and the nigiri seemed pricey if it was only going to be the typical 2 pieces. There were 7 spears on the plate. Not reedy. Salty and smoky. Great side! Next time: I'll try another drink and sushi roll. read more

We walked in 20 minutes before closing and nobody came to us to tell us they were closing anything, I understand that its saint Patrick's day but its a little upsetting that there was no customer service to let us know, we stood there for about 10 minutes with no update read more

Sticky ribs appetizer fell off the bone! Will definitely be craving their ribs for years to come. Also had the "Hey Vinny" rolls, very fresh sashimi with delicious combo of salmon and asparagus. Tried daughter's chicken tonkatsu which was fried to perfection. Had Key Lime pie doe dessert- so very smooth, not too tart and not "eggy" tasting. So good! We arrived at 5pm and were seated swiftly. Shortly after that the restaurant started to quickly fill. Would recommend a reservation otherwise you may be waiting. Can't wait to return the next time we are in Cincy for a concert. read more

Great food, service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Our server was wonderful and I had a wonderful experience and I will definitely be back!

They were absolutely amazing. The food was delicious as well. Couldn't recommend our server and the vibe more!

Met a friend for a late dinner on a weekday. He is local and had eaten here before. But he didn't know there was a game on the night we planned dinner. There are many, many TVs- 11? Lots of enthusiastic Bengals fans (despite them losing). Note that it is really, really loud during a game. We got the edamame (overcooked), sticky ribs (awesome tasty sauce on the outside but a little dry on the inside), a bowl (bland), a roll (very good), Brussels salad but with salmon, not shrimp (wow- so delicious) and all three of the sashimis (excellent). If I returned I would surely get that salad again and the sashimi. Hostess stand folks were friendly and nice. Service by wait staff took extremely long to acknowledge us. No one came by during the time I waited for my friend. read more

The best food & drinks in Cincinnati!!! The staff is absolutely wonderful. My favorite is the chicken katsu & the espresso martini!!!

Amazing service! Drinks were great, shoutout to Emily and Kambree the bartenders. Loved the vibes!

Wife & I have enjoyed E+O for years. We looked forward to dining outside on a glorious Sunday evening. Instead, we had a terrible sushi experience. Craft Cocktails served in plastic DORA cups. We questioned the server, bc tables around us had real glassware. We were told they have different rules for different tables. Huh? Then the Sushi. Just Awful. Rolls no wider round than quarters. Heavily sauced to hide the lack of seafood in the roll (our assessment). The most flavorless Sushi we've ever had. And who puts Ceviche chips in with the ceviche? Soggy!They may have lost us for good it was so bad. read more

Highly recommend! First time here and we had an amazing experience. I couldn't have been more thrilled and a few vegan and vegetarian options. Go team for making certain that everyone could eat at your place. I loved every single bite and can't wait to return so I can try a few new to me items from the menu. read more

I had veggie fried rice, it was ok, nothing to brag about. My wife had the Buddha bowl, she liked it very much.
