    unagi and spicy salmon
    Natasha M.

    My sister's go-to place for sushi from Cincy, we order takeout and take the drive bringing everything back home. We ordered unagi/eel nigiri, two spicy tuna rolls, and a spider roll. The spicy tuna rolls were the best. It was my first time getting that roll and not having it be mushy, finely chopped tuna with spicy mayo holding it together. This roll was a strip of tuna with spicy mayo squirted down the line of it assembled like a subway sub. Cut into sushi-sized pieces, each bite was proportionate in fish-to-sauce ratio and felt incredibly fresh with the larger chunk instead of the usual paste-like filling. The only complaint I had about our order was the spider roll was incredibly salty. I didnt finish it because it was throwing off all the other goodness. I think it mightve been part of the batter potentially but wouldnt stop me from going back, maybe just not ordering that one.

    Shumai (steamed shrimp dumplings) exceptional!!! And BBQ eel press sushi... no words on how good this combination is.

    La Hiro is one of the hidden gems in Florence! Authentic Japanese Cuisine, from Sushi and fresh appetizers (which are obvious they are hand made and not frozen) to the Teriyaki, Ramen, Curry even Grilled Salmon Cheek... they have there normal menu but they make a weekly special one with some great suprises, you just have to get it on time before they run out. They also have a great selection of sweets that can be found on there website or facebook and japanese whiskey and sake as well. The only reason it is not a 5 star is because one of the owners/waitress sometimes may come off a little bit rude, but i just think is her way of speaking... not on purpose. But besides that... the food is something to look foward to 100%! Specially now since you can order only take out, then it would be a 5 star quality & service .

    Tonkatsu

    La Hiro is located right near the Sakura Japanese Grocery store over in Florence. It's quite a bit of a drive, but we stopped by when I came back to town from my flight into CVG. I assumed that this place specialized in sweets since it's in the name, and so I was determined to try something out. We came in around 2:30 PM and they still had the lunch menu available, so that was a relief since usually dinner is expensive, though I'm not super knowledgeable about their menu or the differences to say the least. Generally, their dishes aren't too terribly expensive. I ordered a Tonkatsu and the SO ordered sashimi. The tonkatsu was about the size of my palm, came with sauce and a mini salad. All of it came with miso and salad. The SO's sashimi came with 3 pieces of each fish and also came with miso and salad. Just the way that my dish was presented, you could tell there was something a little bit different. The owners take a lot of time 'designing' and plating their dishes. You could really see and taste the 'homemade' love with an inkling of elegance. While the portions aren't excessive, and the prices might not be completely on point (speaking specifically to non-main kind of entrees), you are eating a meal made with a lot of heart. This is really the first time I've experienced this. The whole place bleeds of heart and you can tell that it's a restaurant where the owners had dreamed of opening it, where the husband wants to serve fresh fish, and the wife wants to make delicious and beautiful desserts. I was bummed that they didn't have the green tea cake, and even though it was late by bakery standards, they had many cakes and sweets still available. It doesn't seem like all of them are on the menu, so you I'm assuming she's always experimenting with new techniques and flavors. I opted for a raw cheesecake with a jello top with cherry blossoms, or sakura, imbedded. The dessert was so delicate yet rich. It wasn't too sweet and it wasn't heavy at all. I could have eaten the entire slice by myself! Overall, the bill came out to be about 26$ for 2 people, filling me up quite well, though leaving him a bit on the half full side, and with tip bumped that up to $30. It's not any more expensive than other legit Japanese restaurants, though I wish it were closer! I'll definitely be coming back to try some more cakes :)

    Splendid bento!!!

    Very pleasantly surprised and once again a big thank you to fellow yelpers for this excellent find. In town for a business meeting and never dreamed I'd find authentic, excellent Japanese food. In Kentucky of all places? Turns out Toyota has had a long presence in the area and there's quite a few Japanese ex patriots in the area that have graced Kentucky with their excellent food. Unfortunately they were out of tonkatsu so went with a bento of tempura, sashimi, and seared white fish. Added the cucumber salad and if I closed my eyes, it was if I was back in Yokohama. Didn't sample the cakes but they looked splendid. Next time......next time.

    Starters - Japanese fried chicken, poke salad, fried tofu, gyoza.

    This is our first time at La Hiro Sushi and Sweets. Some Yelpers revealed that this place is run by the former owners of Aoi and the reviews were rave enough or us to make the 20 minute drive to Florence, KY. It is in a strip mall right next to a UDF store. We got there on a Sunday evening at 745 pm. It is a small restaurant with an unassuming sign. It looks clean and smells clean. They weren't too busy with 3 tables occupied all with Japanese customers. I was thinking this must be a good sign. They have a simple "regular" menu and a sushi menu, although they allowed my son to order an entree that was not on the menu. For starters we had fried tofu, Japanese fried chicken, poke salad and gyoza. The fried tofu which was soft and sweet melted in your mouth, the poke salad had small dices of fresh salmon with sea weed was quite refreshing, and the fried chicken and gyoza were really delicious. In addition, my sons also had their own sushi and sashimi starters which were My wife had the sashimi bowl which she was delighted that it had a generous amount of fish, and more importantly it was really fresh and very good. I had a Bento dish which had crab cake, hamburger and slices of salmon and rice. Overall it was an enjoyable and good entree although I did not care much for the crab cake. After experiencing the gold standard of crab cakes in Cannon Beach, Oregon, with more crab than filling, La Hiro's crab cake was a let down. One of my sons had the Unagi Don, which was not on the menu, and loved his generous slab of unagi on a bowl of rice; and the other had tempura beef, which was gone in no time. We were full by the time we were done however lady owner informed us that all their desserts are made fresh on site and invited us to just check the display. Well we obliged and the rest is history. They looked so exquisite, delicious and irresistible so we ended up bringing a whole bunch of "samplers" to try at home. Slurp! We really had an enjoyable dinner at La Hiro Sushi and Sweets. Their food was fresh, delicious and meticulously prepared. We had a very positive experience thus will continue to support this Mom and Pop restaurant. We will be back for sure!

    If you're looking for a spot that can satisfy everyone in your group, Drake's is always a solid…read morego-to. The menu is huge. You've got everything from burgers and loaded fries to sushi rolls, which sounds like an odd combo but somehow works perfectly. The vibe is casual and upbeat, with TVs around for games and a lively crowd most nights. It's the kind of place where you can go with kids, meet friends for drinks, or just grab a quick dinner without feeling rushed. Food-wise, the burgers are consistently good juicy, flavorful, and actually cooked right. The sushi is surprisingly fresh for a non-traditional sushi spot, I love the surf and turf roll, me and my husband get it everytime, and it's a fun option if you want to mix things up. The appetizers are definitely worth it too, especially if you're sharing.

    This was our choice for a dinner luncheon. It's a popular place with a respectable amount of food…read morechoices. The Chicken Chop was my luncheon choice. The salad is plenty big enough to fill you at lunch. It comes in a bowl with greens,, roasted chicken, pepper jack cheese (my favorite), roasted sunflower seeds, chips and more. The only change I made was I wasn't crazy about mustard Dijon dressing, so I went with the poppyseed dressing. The poppyseed dressing was outstanding. To this luncheon off I had what was probably the best sweet tea I've ever had. There is seat available both inside and outside. The staff is fast and friendly. The restaurant is clean. PS. My colleague suggested i tried his fish. That was absolutely outstanding. It's one of those things you try and say to yourself, I wish I got that.
