The whole concept is incredibly efficient; you place and pay for your order at a kiosk, watch your food being prepared right in front of you, grab it when it's ready, and clear your own dishes when you're done. The system runs smoothly and keeps everything moving fast without feeling rushed. Our food came out in under 10 minutes and was hot and delicious. We ordered the Curry Bomb Tonkotsu along with soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings. Everything was fresh, and packed with flavor. We like a little extra heat, so we added chili oil to the soup and it took it to the perfect spice level for us. Quick service, great quality, and a fun, modern dining experience. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town. It's also the perfect stop before heading over to explore Jungle Jim's International Market next door. Easy 10/10.

The best sushi! Great service!…read more We had dinner here a couple nights ago and it was fantastic. My husband ordered a beer and I ordered a cup of hot green tea. We ordered the Gyu Sashi - Sliced sashimi style raw beef, served with a raw quail egg and a garlic dipping sauce. It was amazing! I could've ordered multiple of this appetizer. We ordered the Sushi & Sashimi for 2 - the premium selection. It's served with a miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. The soup and salad were pretty good. It's the sushi that's the star, though. The sushi was fabulous! It really is the best sushi that we've had around Cincinnati. As usual, great service too. We'll be back soon.

I was a long time customer here. I won't return after the experience that I had today though…read more I ordered the Karaage, which was good as always. I decided with how hot it's been out to opt for a rice bowl, instead of Ramen. I do not like dry or plain rice so I specifically asked if the Katsu Bowl had a sauce on it. The woman explained to me that the sauce doesn't have a name but it does have a sauce. That sufficed for me. It came out with no sauce. Our cups sat empty and no one checked on us until we were done eating. Then a man came to refill our waters - mind you we had already finished eating by this point. He asked if I wanted a box for my one bite taken entree and I said no and that I did not like it. He brought the check and I was charged for all items. I didn't expect it for free but asked if there was a discount and explained the whole situation again. The woman argued that there was a sauce - there's not. It's cooked with sauces. I'm not sure why this concept was not understood. I tried to explain again that I specifically asked this question. She said that I didn't like it "because I was trying a new thing." Girl, I've tried all kinds of foods. I know what I like and don't, and I ask questions to make sure that I know what I'm getting. I paid full price and tipped, but what a terrible experience.

Mrs. E. being the teriyaki freak that she is, gave a thumbs up to both the Beef Teriyaki and the Chicken Teriyaki. I wasn't wild about the Vegetarian D'Lite, but the Chicken & Shrimp Tempura and the Maki roll were out of this world. Here's an added bonus.

And honestly, this was the best hibachi experience I've ever had. The service was great, the food was very well cooked and filling, and our hibachi cook was pretty entertaining. We went on a Sunday afternoon to meet with a friend of my lady who's a big fan of the place. The place itself isn't huge, but has two main sections, one is for general dining with a bar area as well, and the other is the hibachi area. Their menu has lots of different options to choose from, including stir frys and specialty dishes and sushi. Of course, we were all about the hibachi. You can choose a single protein or get a combo for a little more. I opted for the steak and shrimp, my lady got the chicken and scallops, and her friend got the chicken and steak. Our hibachi master was excellent and definitely knew his stuff. He cooked all of our food perfectly and really put on a good show. If you're adventurous and a little daring (and legal drinking age), ask your hibachi master for a shot of saki... But be prepared to catch it in your mouth. I never thought I'd say this about any hibachi place, but this is now my favorite, and the price is very nice too. You absolutely will NOT leave here still hungry. I know I didn't!
