Service was great and server was very kind. However ramen was okay. I ordered the spicy miso ramen and just wish there was a bit more spice and flavor especially in the broth.
Small but mighty! After watching Hamilton we had a need to eat food! And what better place to do it than here. Portions were huge! Everyone was satisfied!
I feel bad for the 2 star. The staff was amazing and it was a cute little place. Well decorated and really clean. Parking can be a challenge since this is in a strip with other businesses. The food, blahhh I hate this part on a bad review. The teriyaki sauce that the drench everything in is terrible. Really salty, sweet, amd a black licorice taste. The ramen was ok but not food enough for us to return.
It's been a while since I've had Ramen, so my friend and I decided to have dinner here last night. I ordered the Miso Ramen, it had really great flavor, was served quickly, and was exceptionally hot! My friend ordered the same and seemed to enjoy it as well.
Will definitely go back. The food was very delicious and had plenty of flavor. The service was very helpful quick and prompt. The decor is starting to get a little dated.
I really enjoy this place! You can tell by the quality compared to other ramen places. I especially love their grilled chicken. It's not dry or bland by any means. I also really enjoy their potato croquette. The crust is slightly bulkier than other croquettes which gives it a nice bite. The location is excellent as well, with Whole Foods and plenty of other shops being so close by. I really hope to try their curry one of these days but the Nagoya with extra noodles gets me right each time. I have brought guests out here too and they really enjoy it.
I love this place! I can't go here without getting the Spicy Garlic Edamame! It's my favorite thing on the menu. I've had almost all of the Ramens they offer and have not been disappointed yet.
We stop at this ramen place everytime we are making our way to Louisville. Their ramen really soothes and warms the soul, my family and I have tried the regular and spicy tonkotsu, shoyu and nagoya ramen. Personally i like the classic spicy tonkotsu it has a tiny bit of kick. Enjoyed the curry or katsu don which came with a huge bowl of rice plus the katsu on the side fried nicely. All the fried appetizer have been pretty good too nothing is overly heavy or greasy. The croquette, fried oysters and chicken karaage are my favs! The soft shell crab was yums as well. This place is very small so put your name down and be ready to wait probably.
I had been wanting to try this location for a while, but they close midday, so it took me a bit to time it right. I was able to order ahead online and time it for half an hour before they closed. They do say allow 25mins or so for your meal to be ready no matter how you order. They do not offer pay online, so you still have to pay at the register, but at least your order is ready to go! The lady inside was friendly. I got the Shogo ramen and added corn and bean sprouts. I wish I had tried the broth before pouring it over the ramen because it was so over the top salty that once I added it, the dish was inedible because the ramen soaked it up quick. The shrimp and veggies were cooked perfectly and were good. I honestly ate the fish, veggie, and egg off the top and had to toss the rest. I hate wasting food and I hate wasting money and sadly both happened here.
Getting over a cold so in look for soup. Tried this for first time. It was really good but I think it over priced. Ramen is the cheapest thing ever and the meat they use wasnt great quality... we both picked it out. It's small..not much seating and no way the tables werec5 feet apart so not really keeping up with covid restrictions. We started with fried oysters and they were delicious. Also seemed pricey for amount and size. I got the original ramen he got the nagoya. We both liked his broth better but both thought the meat was fatty and gross. It was filling but ramen doesnt stick with you ... so in a few hours we were looking for a snack. Would try again.
This place is awesome! Went in for lunch and had some of the fastest service I've ever experienced. All of the food was super fresh and delicious!
Great value for the money. The restaurant isn't big but they've done well with the layout. The service was excellent and friendly and the food came out quickly. The ramen is fantastic! We also had the seaweed salad and the spicy garlic edamame. I think I'd go with the regular edamame next time. The spicy edamame was good but a bit messy.

2.5 stars but rounding up bc Im visiting from out of town. Maybe this spot is suited for another set of taste buds but I was sadly disappointed by this chain restaurant. The ramen just wasn't that great and the amount of time it took felt long despite it being a lighter crowd. read more

I'm from LA and the Vegetarian Spicy Miso Ramen is the best I have had in the mid-west. The broth is flavorful and super balanced, the toppings were all really good, and the service was great! I could have done with a bit more spice in the broth, but I love spice and will just have to ask if they have chili oil next time I'm there. Really well priced too. The waiter did a great job with recommendations and was even nice enough to let me and my friend bring in our boba from next door! read more

I mean do I even need to type words. Two layers of the crispiest chicken with sticky rice and addicting sauce to go with it. I'm sure they have much more to order but I've had the ramen and then and both are great. read more
We really enjoyed this place, the food, and the service. The lady that served us was very nice and tentative. Also, although she gave us an appertizer we didn't order she took it off the bill while letting us keep the appertizer and still bringing out the one we order. We started with the octopus balls and shomai. We were also accidently given this potatoe like thing. The shomai was very good, the potatoe thing was crunchy but basically just a hashbrown but still tasty, and I didn't care for the octopus ball things but my girlfriend really liked them. As far as main dishes I got the spicy tonkotso ramen (I believe anyways) and added an extra egg. It was very good and filling. Had some to take home for a snack the next day. She ended up getting the chicken katsu rice bowl and really enjoyed it. She said it was nicely crispy and one of the best (if not the best) she's had. She also had enough for a bit of leftovers. Overall a great experience from both a food and service standpoint. Will be back. read more
This place is small but pretty cute. It had several choices for ramen and I chose to try the Nagoya Ramen. The broth is really light, but super enjoyable. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the vegetables were super yummy too. My only qualm is the chicken was definitely not good quality. It is super fatty with gristle still on it. If they just fixed the meat quality part, it would easily be a 5 stars for me. My children tried their sweet potato fries and really liked those a lot (good flavor). Overall, our food was pretty good! read more
The best way I can explain Genkunis it is Japanese casual dining. If you've ever eaten at Mei's in Montgomery, this is a scaled down version...smaller and more casual. The food was very good and very large portions as you can see from my attached pictures. I ate with a group of four and we all really enjoyed the food and the service was better than I would have expected. A single waitress, who if I were to guess is probably also an owner, was zipping around tending to all tables and even with a very high load it felt like we were getting dedicated service given her high frequency of interaction. The place can seat maybe 20 people so it may get crowded during peak times. Also it appeared they had a healthy carry out or door dash business. I will definitely come back. There aren't a lot of Japanese restaurant choices in Cincinnati and I'm happy they set the bar high with their quality of food and service. read more

Delicious! We ordered: Short Ribs - a little tough but the sauce was perfect! Genki Shoyu Ramen - perfect Chicken Katsu Curry - crisp, well seasoned, & large portion. This is a solid 10/10 Takoyaki - the sauce was delicious! The takoyaki quality itself seemed to be store bought? (Can't confirm) Potato Croquette - I'd rate a 7/10. Not mind blowing but not bad either. Overall, I'd say this is worth more than just a few visits. They're great at seasoning but may need to up their quality. read more

Really neat atmosphere at this place. Very well designed & decorated. The food is prepared in front of everyone with bar seating. I had the salmon rice bowl. Very good service at the front counter as I took my food to go. read more
Tried this spot for the first time with my mom (her first time trying ramen) and it was great! The ramen was good and my mom loved it for her first time. The servers are all very kind and helped us to decide what to order. The ramen also came out very fast! It's a small restaurant, so you might have to wait a little before getting a table. read more

Went here on a Saturday at 6 PM to dine in. It was full, so the host took our name and number and party size (2) and we waited outside for 20 minutes. First time here so we got their Pork Buns and Spicy Garlic Edamame to start and both were delicious. We both got their traditional Ramen bowl and it was SO GOOD! My husband has a history of allergies (anaphylaxis) to shellfish and Tree nuts and peanuts and we disclosed this to them when we ordered. He had no problems at all. I was relieved and so glad we finally have found an Asian place to eat that is safe for him. We will be staying away from any fried foods though! read more

I'm so excited to see another ramen place in Cinci! The restaurant is small but extremely clean & modern looking. I had the veggie ramen with an egg & I was delighted! It was better than other veggie ramens I've had in the area. It was flavorful but not too salty like a lot of other veggie ramen can be! I would have preferred the noodles to be former or an option to make the ramen spicier since I like my ramen spicy but overall it was pretty good! I would love to see more vegetarian options on the menu so I can come again & try something new! Would definitely recommend though! read more
