    BYO Vegetable Broth Ramen
    Isabel E.

    Maybe my new favorite food in OTR!! The food was AH-MAZING!!! Everything we had was spectacular! I loved the flavor, balance, and plating. I was full and didn't even finish too so good portions for price! I loved the chicken skewers as an appetizer. Our service was okay - 4/5. The outdoor section was super warm even though it was cold so I was really happy to be able to sit in the sun but still be comfortable. Would love to come back at night to see the difference in the vibe.

    I came in on a snowy day and had my choice of seats with 2 friends. It is a small seating area inside to be prepared to wait at a more popular dining time. I had the garlic noodles. As the name implies they were VERY garlic heavy and forward. Maybe too much for me. I wanted a little more creamyness to them. The Fried chicken on top of my noodles was perfect. Crisp and full of flavor. I tasted my friends ramen and it was very good. The Pizza like appetizer was also a great flavor experience. If you don't like a lil slime on your egg ask for the egg cooked as you prefer. I've of liked over medium. Learning experience for us;)

    Vietnamese beef garlic noodles

    I was very disappointed in the food the shrimp and Vietnamese beef were so dry I felt like it could crumble in my mouth. The noodles were very bland. Our waitress was great and very friendly and was the only good part of eating here.

    A trendy spot in OTR without a ton of seating. Snagged a reservation for 4 on short notice on a Saturday night. We were sat quickly and the service was good. I realllllly wanted to love the food here, but it just didn't do anything for me. We started with some loaded waffle fries, kimchi, and edamame. These were all just fine, nothing particularly amazing but nothing bad either. Amongst the four of us, we had the Garlic Noodles with Shrimp, the Sichuan Spicy noodles, and a bowl of ramen. The garlic noodles themselves were definitely the best dish. Unfortunately, the shrimp were all cold despite it being a hot dish. The Sichuan spicy noodles had a ton of ma sensation without really any other flavor. I probably won't be back unless something really peaks my interest.

    I have mixed feelings on my experience. I dined here recently with my book club. We came on a very cold night and the restaurant was freezing cold inside. We all had to wear our coats and we were still cold. They have their outside area tented off, but as a result it made the whole restaurant very cold. I definitely will not return in the winter time. Our waiter was fine, he brought us what we needed. I had the Hapa ramen. The night of I thought it was okay but nothing exceptional. I brought home the leftovers and had it for lunch the next day and the flavors had melded in a way that it was tastier on day two than when it was freshly made.

    Korean BBQ

    I've been here a few times since moving closer to OTR. The wait time isn't bad and they take reservations if you want to plan something. The inside is great and they have covered patio seating when it's warmer outside. I love the food here and highly recommend the chicken with garlic noodles. For an appetizer you could try the Korean BBQ Wings or the pancake.

    Shrimp okonomiyaki

    This small restaurant is the bomb. Make a reservation on the weekend since seating is limited. Our server Brandon was so nice and explained the menu for us since we were first time visitors Our food was so delicious. Japanese pancakes who knew were so good. I also got the shrimp curry hand roll and my friend got the spicy salmon hand roll. All of it amazing. The drinks are fantastic too We will be back to try something else

    Lime Basil Me and Espresso Martini
    Christy C.

    Was excited to try this place, but disappointed in the food especially. We started with the Soju flight, and it was interesting, but too sweet for us. We also tried the wings with the Coconut Lemongrass sauce. The sauce was good, but the wings were just okay. He tried the salmon garlic noodles and I went for the wagyu. He liked his noodles and said his salmon was okay, but my steak was cooked medium well done well when I ordered it medium rare, so I did not enjoy it. I also tried the Lime Basil Me cocktail and he got an Espresso Martini and we thought those were just okay. The service was fast and friendly, though! Our server was very nice and answered all my questions well. Ambience didn't feel special and the covered patio isn't watertight because we got wet even though we were closest to the inside. It also got loud even though there weren't many people there. Might have given 3 stars if it wasn't for how high the bill was. The prices here do not match the quality or experience you'd find other places.

    House Okonomiyaki
    Navapat K.

    Every time we go to Cincinnati we visit Quan Hapa. This place is our favorite for years. Okonomiyaki was good as it used to be, first time order Calamari and we did not disappointed! My husband loves their KFC too. Service was nice and they are very dog friendly!

    The KFC KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN
    Savannah L.

    I love this spot! The service is always so incredibly nice and well paced. The introduction is always clean and the vibe is perfect for a night out at dinner or a lunch spot to try out. I love that there is anime playing on the tvs because it fits the theme at all time. When it comes to the delicious food that is served, i have yet to have something that i dislike. The KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) was delicious and I will keep coming back for the pancake that I received. This place is somewhere you need to check out and will keep coming back for more!

    Persimmon soda
    John B.

    I was a bit of a skeptic, as I'm the sort of person who roams around surburban strip malls looking for niche restaurants, and I try to take recommendations from people who know the cuisine. This looked more like Asian food for white people, and I felt that both before and after they arrived. The name sounds kind of Vietnamese, but the menu is more Japanese, and the people were 100% Cincinnati. Having said all that, I found a reason to try it, ordering a freshly cooked tofu dish with curry and coleslaw and a non-alcoholic beverage. I was quite pleased with the taste of my tofu, and the warm curry and cooler coleslaw made for a nice contrast of flavors and textures. The persimmon soda I ordered wasn't big, but it had just the right amount of sweetness for its intrinsically tart taste. They had clear marking for vegetarian and vegan options (and a lot of them were the former). It was a tad on the pricey side, but I wanted a place walkable to the music hall and what I got here delivered precisely the flavor and substance that I wanted of it, so I'm not sure what I can fault them on.

    Tempeh bacon okonomiyaki
    Meera K.

    We finally checked out quan hapa 's new menu after they re-opened! While we miss the amazing pho, the new menu offers so many unique vegetarian options and everything was delicious The outdoor patio is the perfect spot during the summer and can be closed up in the winter We enjoyed: Tempeh bacon Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake): this is a great shareable app. Crunchy, salty and sweet Fried Tofu hand roll : these come 1 per order but you can also order some hand roll combos! The tofu is crispy and flavorful Shiitake mushroom spicy sichuan 5-way: this is a fun new noodle dish, nice n spicy Otr street parking can get busy so give yourself enough time or the Mercer garage is across the street.

Ordered green tea, a Jade Dynasty cocktail and pot stickers to enjoy while we perused the menu (including the picture book!). The pot stickers were delicious! More like meatballs inside, served with a I-don't-know-what-this-is-but-it's-delicious sauce. We ordered and were pretty quickly delivered our mains: How Fun noodles (level 2 spice) with chicken and Pepper Beef (level 3 spice). Both were outstanding! The sauces on both were savory and delicious. The noodles were great - not slimy like they can sometimes be but firm yet delicate. The chicken was tasty. The pepper beef was tangy and tender with a nice balance of peppers and onions. Serving sizes big enough for lunch the next day. Vibrant decor made the place really feel alive and servers were friendly and efficient. We found street parking but I assume this part of Covington gets busy on weekend nights so allow a few minutes to find a spot. Bonus tip: stop at DelGardo's down the street and get a couple cannoli for dessert. Perfect end to a delicious meal!

First off, the place has a fun and playful vibe with the kung fu theme, especially when you're greeted by a Shaolin Soccer poster. The service is also A+! Extremely friendly and attentive. The portions are also generous. However......... my tastebuds are baffled. We ordered a hot and sour soup as our starter and it was extremely sweet. It was basically hot sugar soup. If we hadn't put our full order in at the same time as the app, we probably would've paid after the soup and left then. However, we did order and got the szechuan beef, general chu's sesame chicken, and the how fun noodles which we were all okay. Not memorable. I'm leaving one star because the staff and atmosphere were great. I've never been compelled to write a bad review, but I could not get past the sugary hot and sour soup. For $55, I'd really expect more flavor than just sugar and chili oil for all of the dishes.

We ordered a variety of entrees, but the highlight was definitely the pho. The broth tasted very close to what you'd find in California and even Vietnam, which was a pleasant surprise. Really rich, balanced, and comforting. The only downside was the lack of fresh herbs on the side. It only came with a dish of bean sprouts, so it felt like it was missing that extra freshness that usually completes a bowl of pho. Service was amazing, mostly students from UC. But everyone was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Parking was pretty easy, which made the whole experience even smoother. Overall, still a solid spot, especially if you're craving pho that tastes authentic.
