Overall it was a bit overfilled so it was very messy and hard to eat. I could have done without the hidden coconut shavings inside. KIMCHI & EGG CROISSANT 5 I had this one for breakfast. I warmed it in my air fryer for 6 minutes on 330 so it didn't overcook. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and the kimchi added good flavor without being spicy. I would have liked to see a little more mozzarella but overall it was tasty! SOBACHA CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE 4 Also tasty, oversized cookie. Soft and chewy texture. CINNAMON ALMOND BLUEBERRY TOAST (THURSDAY/FRIDAY ONLY) 5.25 Very good. The cinnamon filling reminded me of a brown sugar pop tart. I warmed it in my air fryer and it was perfect. Would order again. I just wish they had an espresso bar!

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.

As others have noted, the entrance is a little hard to find and there isn't really anywhere to wait if you don't arrive exactly on time. Every course at this omakase was incredibly delicious and beautifully prepared. I enjoyed it all very much and I thought it was a good amount of food and the price was fair for the excellent quality. The staff was very attentive and very friendly. The ambiance is spot on for a traditional sushi bar. I enjoyed my experience very much and I would highly recommend it to sushi fans.

The service was impeccable and they were so knowledgeable about every fish and all the prep into it. The ambiance was interesting, we had a girl begging for soy sauce and the chef just gave her salt. Was kinda funny to watch but made a little bit of tension. I think the chef handled it in a mature manner, the customer was clearly drunk or something and was not happy with their experience. Like I said this puts all other sushi in a lower classification. So much effort and thought into everything.

We had not heard of Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ before, but we were looking for a place to eat before…read moregoing to a movie, and they are right by Kenwood Theater, so we decided to check them out. Bonus was they were participating in Cincinnati Restaurant Week and it was the last day of that promotion. The first impression of the place wasn't great. As we were led to our seats, we passed two bins of dirty dishes laying on the floor right at the main entrance to the dining room. The server brought over menus... three for both of us! First was a large, two sided menu for Restaurant Week, Second was a multi-page menu, and third was a hard back menu with a bunch of pages. It was all very confusing. We ended up ordering the Restaurant Week deal, which was a ton of food for $36 each, a really good deal but way too much food for 2 people. The food came out quickly, too quickly to be honest. Within a 3 minute timespan, we got our salad, soup, appetizer, and sushi. Four minutes after that, all the meat and veggies were delivered to our table (I'm looking at photo time stamps for exact timing involved) The proteins and veggies were good and grilling our own meat at the table was a fun activity. The soup was just bad, to be honest. I didn't recognize what type of sushi was included, so asked the server- it was a little slice of roasted beef atop of a little mound of rice. Roast beef sushi?? The menu included our choice of 3 small desserts, so we ordered the vanilla ice cream and green tea ice cream. The server came back and said they were out of that latter, so we both got vanilla ice cream, which was disappointing. All-in-all I'm giving 4-stars, mostly due to it being a fun activity but I'm not sure we'll be returning.

Our server was very kind and helpful - she walked us through the process. There's sushi available on the revolver, but we can also order additional menu items from a screen at the table. It was great for someone like me who doesn't typically stray from my regular sushi order - it made me try different types of roles and only have a few pieces if they weren't my favorite. All the revolving plates are $3.45, so low risk if it's not your favorite. But all the rolls we tried were good! And the dessert we ordered at the end was good too. Great time and we will be back!

They even celebrated a birthday at our table and brought out a free dessert. I tried the steak hibachi, hello kitty sushi and shrimp tempura and all of it was very flavorful.

All seats at the bar were open, but we hoped to sit at a regular (not high-top) table. As it turned out there were a few options in the back. That said, it wasn't long before the place was packed. Our server Tyra was fantastic. Down to earth and helpful with recommendations. She made us feel welcome and comfortable. We started with Jumbo Ebi Shumai. Tyra asked if we wanted a fourth (the dish comes with three) so we wouldn't have to rock-paper-scissors for the third dumpling. I thought they were delicious. I loved the spicy mustard that came with them. I admit they had a slight fishy flavor. I mean it was shrimp and I enjoyed it. Mark is less of a fish fan in general. The dumplings didn't really hit the mark for him. If you like seafood and you like shrimp you should enjoy the Shumai. I opted for Tonkatsu Ramen - Ramen and thick creamy pork broth with roast pork, soft boiled egg, bamboo, wood ear mushroom, ginger and green onion. I added black garlic oil and did not go spicy at all. I thought it was very good and I ate literally every drop. Mark had Spicy Miso Ramen - Ramen and spicy creamy soybean paste pork broth with roast pork, soft boiled egg, bamboo, wood ear mushroom, and green onion. He said it was spicy, which was perfect for him. He also enjoyed his meal and finished every drop. We still had time to kill before the show so we opted for dessert. There were two options - Green Tea or Red Bean Ice Creams. Tyra recommended Red Bean and I'm glad she did. It was sweet with just the slightest crunch from the beans. It was a good size serving, hand dipped by Tyra. The proximity of Zundo to Memorial Hall or Music Hall makes it the perfect pre-show stop for dinner. We will definitely be back.
