This place has NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL!!!! The manager (with the red hair tattoos) was extremely RUDE!!!! I got there at 3:10 and he asked if I was dining in I said yes... I used the bathroom to change my baby's diapers... I walk pass and and told him I will be sitting outside... sat and waited for about 10 minutes came inside to see what's the delay... he was helping a customer that came AFTER ME!!!! That's unacceptable I told him I've been waiting for 10 minutes he was rude and said "no you weren't" and continued to speak to the customer. That's so rude and honestly feel because of my RACE I was ignored. I actually own a restaurant myself and this is unbelievable. NEVER WILL I COME BACK BECAUSE OF HIS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HOSPITALITY!!! Didn't even get to order a drink. Wow read more

Mr. Sushi - Chef's special for 2 - more like for 4:)! It was awesome - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Located just around the street from The Aronoff, Mr. Sushi is a trendy sit down Asian restaurant specializing in sushi. While they do offer a few Thai options as well as a full bar, sushi plates are the way to go. My friend and I mulled over the menu for a while. We wanted to try something new, something we couldn't get at any sushi restaurant... after all, the place was named "Mr. Sushi." Fortunately, the menu had some interesting options to tempt our palate. We saw a lot of combinations featuring scallops. Not our favorite shellfish, we crinkled our noses and kept looking. The spicy crab caught our eye, and of course, anything salmon is always good. We decided to pick two of the specialty rolls from the back of the menu, and two from the front, which featured basic rolls. - Citrus Salmon Roll: smoked salmon topped with lemon zest - Crunch n' Munch Roll: spicy crab, shrimp, tempura flakes, and spicy mayo - Japanese Bagel Roll: salmon, cream cheese, cucumber - Shrimp Tempura: tempura coated shrimp with cream cheese and sweet soy sauce Everything was delicious. Our favorite was the Crunch n' Munch, which delivered the right amount of spice with savory shredded crab. If you're looking for a unique flavor, go with the Citrus Salmon, which had undertones of lemon in every bite. A perfect compliment to the fish. Our basic rolls were good too, but if you're looking for recommendations, go with Crunch n' Munch and Citrus Salmon. For drinks, get the Mango Fizz: mango juice, vodka and Sprite. Comes in a pint glass and is a refreshing adult beverage that goes great with sushi. Also, since we spent over $15.00 per person on sushi, we received complimentary miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. Pretty standard, although my miso soup was lacking in tofu and was mainly broth. For free, can't complain, but I have had better elsewhere. Service was a bit on the slow side.The restaurant was almost empty around dinnertime and our server spent the down time watching sports on TV. We had to flag him down for our check so we could make it to the play on time. All-in-all, if you're looking for fancy sushi Downtown, Mr. Sushi gets the job done. Price per person: $20.00 read more

Excellent location downtown. We sat at the sushi bar in an attempt to be in and out fast. The staff was extemely accommodating. Seaweed salad and miso soup were ready instantly. Sushi chef went right to work on our order. Rolls were 90% fish 10% rice earning big smiles from us. The squid nigiri was perfectly chewy to the point where after having two pieces, we went in again for two more...and two pieces of sea urchin (taste the ocean my friends). For drinks they had Bombay sapphire east. Something I haven't seen before. Had an excellent taste of juniper plus far east spice in it. Wonderful. It also helped that my gun and tonic was primarily all gin with a splash of tonic. They win for that too. I thought the rice was a little dry/stale. Maybe had been sitting around for too long. Won't hold it against em. Will be back. read more

Coming from the west coast we've been really weary to have sushi in the Midwest but we were pleasantly surprised by their fish quality. Mr sushi had great miso soup and salad to start you off and like I said the fish seemed pretty fresh. The reason why this place lost a star, though, is because I felt like the rice that they used in their rolls and nigiri seemed a little old and cold.. If you know what I mean. I don't expect the rice to be hot because I know that's not how you make sushi but the rice just seemed slightly stale. As if it had been out for awhile or maybe even refrigerated from the morning and not completely thawed out. Also, the California rolls were a downer. I uploaded a picture of the California rolls that we got to show how skimpy the filling was. Other than that, the freshness of their fish made their nigiri really good, the dragon roll was good, and we tried something called the niji (I think) roll which was also really good. The niji roll is a pretty big roll with bits of different types of sashimi on the inside so if you like sushi with a lot of fish in it we recommend this roll. We like the fish quality here so we'll be back when we need another sashimi/sushi fix. The place had Korean dishes on their menu which means it's probably owned by Koreans. If anyone knows of other sushi restaurants in Cincinnati with great fish quality and is authentically owned by Japanese people then we'd love to get recommendations! read more

This restaurant is better than most sushi in the area. You can tell the sushi chefs put a lot of effort into the ingredients, tastes and presentation. The sushi was great. I was most surprised by the House Special Salad. It tasted amazing! Not sure what made it so great but it truly stood out. The service was standard for a sushi place. My server was polite, attentive and quick. It's a little pricey but worth the extra cost. read more

Average at best. A lot of rolls with cream cheese filling ( cheap way to fill your roll) then the rolls come in a bath of sauces to cover up their inferior grade of fish. Had a piece of tuna nigiri I had to spit out it tasted so bad and smelled so fishy. Stopped by for the convenience of being right by my hotel. Don't make the mistake of eating here with so many other choices. read more

Mr. Sushi - Just leaving reggae night on the square and decided we needed sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Perfect quick place to grab lunch if you have a sushi itch. They always have an army of staff ready to quell the downtown rush. You can be in and out with full service in 20 minutes. Now onto the food. The quality of fish is consistent. It's not the best in town but unless you are a connoisseur, it does the job. I always recommend an assortment of nigiri and traditional rolls. I'd skip the ginger salad appetizer that always inexplicably comes to you without ordering it. It has always been watery and subpar. They have great lunch specials always and half price sushi like everyone else. read more

Wow - the freshest, best tasting and authentic sushi I have ever had. Chef was very nice and made sure he customized my dish to what I wanted. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Mr. Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

On Friday night my family and I arrived in Cincinnati from a long 7 hour road trip. I was very hungry and convinced my 2 daughters ( one teenaged) and my sister to walk with me at 11pm at night to get sushi. We arrived and all was well. We joked with the waitress Jessica and she was fine until she brought the food to our table my daughter ordered hibachi shrimp but received steak ( which she hasn't consumed in over 10 years) she told Jessica and Jessica took the plate back to the cook and sad nastily she wants shrimp NOW! my daughter asked if something was wrong to stated on nothing. In the meantime my mother was at the hotel and we ordered her a $15 seafood salad unknown to us the seafood was raw. I told Jessica we eat sushi but not raw food. She said she would talk to her manager. I walked over to the manager and explained the situation and he explained since it their prices were half priced he couldn't refund me my money. I accepted what he said and pd the $44 bill. Another waitress which we later learned was Jessica BFF states ah what's been eating raw food all her life. I told her that you and the we are 2 totally different people. She went on to say " you shouldn't come into a sushi restaurant if you're not going to eat raw food. I told her to stay of the conversation because it had nothing to do with her. She advised she was just looking out for her BEST friend. Now at this point Jessica was nowhere to be found. This was the worst experience I've every had in my 50 years of life. Never have I been subjected to such Blatant RACISM. Jessica's BFF whose name I never knew would but stop being disrespectful she went has far to tell the manager to put us out. He told her just calm down I'm trying to get them out of here. I will NEVER EVER LAY A FOOT INTO MR SUSHI ever again. This was the worst customer service experience I've ever had and the food made my stomach cramp and became Distended. read more

A total disgrace! First time visiting Cincinnati, Ohio and we decided to visit this place on a late night. My grandmother who is diabetic wanted a salad, but no where on the menu, or did the waitress ever say, it was nothing but "RAW FISH". First our waitress "Jessica" kept Messi g up our order (no biggie, mistakes happen) but her attitude was so off. She yelled at me and told me "to try having a serving job and then talk to her after I've experienced it" aggressively .. I walked over to my mother as she was speaking to the manager about the issue, and another waitress with curly blonde hair at the bottom, that said she was Jessica's best friend , told my mom "well you should of never walked into a sushi restaurant if you didn't want raw fish" i told her to be quiet because no one was talking to her, she constantly kept making rude remarks and egged on the situation. Then another guy walked over that looked to be a "regular" at the restaurant said we were disturbing the peace and he had a headache. He said he was going to call the police .. Just a whole BAD EXPERIENCE! FELT RACISM AT ITS FINEST! If you're a BLACK person DO NOT EAT HERE! BEWARE!!!! They will make you feel uneasy treat you like complete shit!!!! I will be calling cooperate and getting to the bottom of this! Truly unacceptable! read more

Nice and clean, good atmosphere and fresh sushi. Suggest for lunch and dinner. Looks the offer and the big menù read more

I had sake, saba and ikura nigiri. The sake and ikura were on their last legs. The saba was good. I also had a spider roll. The roll came with a garnish of a "crab stick" (imitation crab) on the end and over cooked and bland soft shell crab. Come to think of it, the rice in this roll and the nigiri was over cooked. On top of all of this, they seem proud of their "half price" specials. For example, the spider roll was $18 and crossed out to show the cut to 9$. Seriously? If the spider roll was actually good, it would be worth 9 or 10. If you're serious about your sushi, this is not the place for you. Their house sake, "Koji" has a toilet water quality. My original intent was to get a decent bottled dry cold sake and the menu selections only had descriptions of fruitier ones.....not my cup of tea.....ah, sake. They mentioned their house cold sake and regrettably, I decided to give it a try. It was simply their normally heated swill sake, but chilled. The saba nigiri and the friendly staff kept me from giving this place 1 star. read more

Great Sushi!! The Pad Thai was not my favorite. The Rolls were delish and highly recommended if you are in the DT area. read more

Food was delicious, can't beat half priced sushi after 4pm, and service was quick and friendly! HOWEVER, here are my reservations... firstly, they use fake wasabi (green-dyed horseradish paste); secondly, the pink ginger (which should be a translucent cream color) is just unnecessary and another cheap corner cutting move. Additionally, they have a very "Americanized" menu with a lot of spicy crab and crab stick, which is all imitation crab meat. They could really benefit by downsizing their menu and making it more authentic. Try adding a wider variety of fish, too. Was disappointed that they didn't have Shima Aji. read more

Wonderful addition to our Monday (Chefs Friday). Being in the industry me and my friends have to sacrifice our weekends to work and decided that Monday nights are the best time for us to go have a few drinks and relax after a busy long weekend. We stopped in here on a recommendation from a bartender at the Blind Pig. It was amazing our server Moses was on top of his game and gave us amazing service. He also took the time to learn our names and was very accommodating. We ordered 8 rolls to share and at half price you can't beat it. Will definitely be back next Monday and requesting Moses. read more

FOOD POISONING. The place looked great, had good atmosphere, but man, I got very sick...

Mr Sushi is a great spot for traditional and unique sushi styles. There is a half price happy hour every day that makes the place very affordable. The staff are friendly and the place is clean. It is right in the middle of town so it is easy to get to. read more

Hubs and I have loved Mr Sushi since it opened. We ordered trays of sushi for our rehearsal dinner 9 years ago and their sushi was both of our daughter's first. Their staff is consistently top notch, friendly, communicative and open to suggestions. During the pandemic, they've been super accommodating helping bring things out to the car when needed. The food is always fresh, on time and delicious! read more

I am a big fan of Mr Sushi and have been here many times. I would give this place a 5 if it wasn't for the service. The service, based on our last 2 experiences, would be a 2 at best. I'm going with a 4 generously because the food is that good. The sushi selection is long, but there are a lot of very similar rolls to choose from. A good portion of the rolls are heavy on fried and cream cheese options, but I like both of those things so that's not a complaint, just an observation. They do have a decent variety of raw options too, especially on their sashimi/nigiri menu, if that's your thing. Thursday night, between the 3 of us dining, we orded 4 rolls - Airforce (my personal fav and the one I always get - it's the perfect combo of fried, creamy, crunchy, spicy and sweet - highly recommend trying this roll), Sunday morning, Japanese Bagel and Philly + several pieces of Nigiri. I also got a side salad - it's very simple but I always love their dressing and the salad always fresh and crunchy. The food last night did not disappoint and was good as it always is. The service however severely lacked. We were seated instantly, which was great. When we were seated, my fiancé asked what another customer was having because it looked good. The girl who sat us promised to go find out but she never came back. He was a little annoyed by that, but moved on. We sat there for 15 minutes with no acknowledgement at all from anyone who worked there. If it wasn't for the fact we knew we loved the food here, we would have left at that point. The server finally showed up, but he said nothing and just dropped us off waters. We weren't even sure if he was our server since he didn't speak so we didn't say anything to him either, just accepted the waters. They were busy so slow is understandable, but to me that's no excuse for poor service and at least acknowledging customers at your table. 10 mins or so after the water drop off, the server came back and asked if we were ready to order. (Apparently, he was, in fact, our server). He didn't ask if we wanted drinks other than water or if we had questions about the menu. Still trying to be optimistic, we went with the flow and put in our order. The positive is he brought our food shortly after we ordered. The server dropped the food on the table without saying anything - no explaining the rolls, no "does this look correct?" and no "need anything else?". He just dropped off and left - we dug right in and thoroughly enjoyed the food. However, we were all empty on our drinks about half way through the meal. We sat there for 10-15 mins before our server (or any server there for that matter) even passed our table and finally, our server whizzed by and we were able to get his attention and stop him. He asked if we were done and we said we wanted more drinks. What server doesn't notice people sitting there for 10-15 mins with completely empty glasses and half full plates? He took our glasses, left and came back with refills and our check. The glasses were pretty dirty, by the way, but we were just happy to have something to drink. Maybe the server was having a bad day or maybe he's just in the wrong job, I don't know but no excuse for terrible service. The price of our meal was really decent- under $40 for 3 people (we were there during half price hours). Very good price value in my opinion compared to other sushi options. We'll be back because we love the food. This is the second time we've had bad service so hopefully it's not a trend. read more

For being a sushi place, the sushi is so-so. One of my rolls I couldn't eat because the fish in the middle looked like processed fish that had sat on the shelf too long. Typically I get one of their noodle or rice dishes because of this. Their bento boxes are very fun and have the appropriate amount of food for the price. read more

Save your money. Ordered two rolls with shrimp (Dancing Shrimp and Shrimp Tempura) and the shrimp either was sitting out or it's been there for a while because the taste was extremely stale. I stopped trying to eat it after a couple of pieces. Such a waste of money. read more

Apparently the staff shortage hit this buisness hard. Walked in, the manager who was the only one working sat us at our table and then we were ignored for about 20 min. No drinks or anything. I've eaten here before and it was great sushi so I came back. Not sure if the manager was ignorant or just forgetful but we were the only ones in the establishment and to not be serviced was rude in my opinion. Before you eat here look inside for waiters and staff, if not just order to carry out. read more

Mr. Sushi is one of my favorite downtown lunch spots. I will start out by saying I'm no sushi connoisseur... unless it's terrible, I don't really notice whether sushi is fabulous or not. I just know what I like and I'm not afraid to tell people! A few of my colleagues and I had a regularly scheduled meeting on our Outlook calendars so we could make it to Mr. Sushi. If you're going for lunch during the week you definitely need to get there by 11:45 or go after 12:30 if you don't want to wait with your group. Even during that time the service is good, it's just that it's busy... especially on a Friday. I will also admit that I'm not super adventurous on their menu. Once I find something I like I tend to make it my staple so I can't comment on their full menu. In this case, I get the deluxe sushi lunch special. It comes with a spicy tuna roll (my fave!) and a chef's choice of various sushi selections. It's $13 and also comes with a house salad so that seems like a pretty good deal to me. The atmosphere of the restaurant is clean and modern which I like. I was so happy that a sushi place finally moved in downtown (although now we also have Soho this was the first one!) read more

I went here for lunch during the work week. I expected for their to be a wait but we were greeted by a very friendly host and seated right away. The menu was wonderful! So many fabulous lunch options. Sushi was, of course expected, at a place called Mr. Sushi, but they also had amazing lunch bento boxes, rice bowls and variety plates- which I opted for. Each of the lunch items came with a delicious ginger salad and the iced tea was so good. The wait staff was very attentive and offered some suggestions. Which, with a menu this long was much appreciated. The prices are reasonable. You're looking at about $9-$15 for a bento box and about the same for the other options. The gentleman next to me had ordered about 6 sushi rolls and their plate looked beautiful! I am definitely going back for more soon. read more

Good stuff here! Four of us came in early (5pm) and had the place to ourselves. Friendly staff, cold beer, quick service. Fresh fish, and the rolls were very creative and colorful, not to mention tasty! We all ordered too much (surprise!) and rolled moaning out of there after paying a reasonable check. read more

Mr. Sushi's sushi is the best I've had yet in Cincinnati. The pieces are cut large with a generous portion of rice to go with them, and the prices are comparable with other sushi joints in the area. I also got the bulgogi, a meal I've loved in many restaurants; unfortunately, I wasn't overly impressed with it. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't great. Also, the fiancee and I went when we were running late to get to a show, but the waitress was efficient, helpful, and got us in, fed, and on our way with a little time to spare ... and somehow we didn't feel rushed. I'll definitely go back for more sushi. read more

Yum! This might be the most pleasant sushi experience that I've had in Cincinnati so far. Big generous rolls and not terribly expensive. The Red River roll, Bengal roll and the Green River roll were particularly tasty. One of our group also ordered the bi bim bap, which was also good. I was excited to see some Korean food offerings and though they were a little more on the pricey side, not too expensive and definitely worth a try. The service was great and the staff was really friendly. In sum, good stuff, with an added bonus of late night sushi options! read more

People generally like Mr. Sushi over most options in the area, which I find incredible. Incredibly wonky. First time I got the chirashi. No good. You don't come to your run-of-the-mill sushi chain in Ohio to get high quality, fresh fish. If anything, you come to get those crazy big rolls exploding with mayo, cheese, and delicious imitation crab. Should've learned my lesson the second time, but I just wasn't feeling a chunky "Yum Yum" or "Rock-and-Roll," so I got the spicy roll combo (shrimp and tuna). Forgettable. And what's worse is that both times I've been here, the rice tasted hard as if it were either undercooked or re-frozen. Service is decent though. They operate quickly because they're used to serving the weekday lunch crowd, so you can get your fix (or not) and get outta there in a jiffy. read more

Great food! Only problem is their service. The waiters and waitresses aren't very friendly. I love the food so it makes it hard to stay away. I usually get the chicken teriyaki bento box. This is a box of surprises! The sliced chicken over cut vegetables cover in teriyaki sauce and white rice are two things that you can always count on. Everything is in separated sections. This is especially for someone like me who is picky. The best part though...... The salad! I could put that dressing on everything that I eat! It's SO GOOD!! read more

Sushi for me usually consisted of a few take out containers from Kroger. I know, what the heck was I thinking? My first real sushi experience came when my boyfriend bought a coupon from restraurant.com for Mr. Sushi. It was four bucks. So we thought hey something different to do. Now it's one of my go-to weeknight dinner spots. The atmosphere is very chic. Sleek bar, modern décor, recess lighting. They even have a cute little outdoor patio. Now I can't speak for the entrees, but the sushi rolls are absolutely divine. Huge chunks of tuna, crab or whatever you prefer. All of it made fresh right in the front of the house blowing those old, stale, boxed containers to smithereens! The chef even surprised us with a complementary sampler because I was unsure of what I liked and what I didn't like. I am all about hospitality and this was above and beyond what I expected when I sat down to eat there. The staff was amazing as well. I went to order a glass of wine and our waitress suggested a wine that went well with what we ordered. Not a wine I would have normally chosen, but I trusted her and when the sushi came I was sure glad I did! The pairing was spot on! Now whenever we go there I always order that wine with dinner. The prices are actually below what I thought they would be. In fact, I shouldn't say this, but if they were more expensive, I would still probably still pay for it because the rolls are that good! So the moral of the story is: sell me a 4 dollar coupon for 25 bucks worth of food, and if your food is good, I will be back twice a week with friends! Hooray for Mr. Sushi! read more

Great place for sushi,especially when it's half price (after 4pm). The place is nice, we called before to know if it is pet friendly,and guess what?!it is!!Thumbs up for that. The guys were so nice with us and with Zoey (our dog). We ordered the rainbow, mango tango and the tempura sushi. They were all so great! I think the only issue with this place was the timing of the service outside, seems a little bit slow in general. Besides from that, it's a really good place to go! Convenient,good prices and good food. read more

Ok, the name is a little cheesy, but at least it gets to the point. Yes, come here for the sushi if you're in a raw fish type of mood, but don't overlook it if you're just in a bento-box/please-put-something-delicious-on-a-plate-in-a-stylish-way/Asian-chic-adventure type of mood. What I'm trying to say is that they have more than just sushi. It won't break the bank and it's just acculturated enough that you won't scare off your less-adventurous meal goers. I enjoy sitting at the counter where you can watch all the gorgeous sushi plates be made. Be nice to the chefs because they all seem to have a story to tell. We were so well taken care of last time, it was like a comedy; every other minute one of the staff was checking on us! read more
