We eat here a lot. Love the all you can eat sushi, fresh ingredients and great service. The Hibachi is also great. The take care when making the food and make you feel special.

Chicken Pad Thai

This was my second time ordering from here (takeout both times), but was my husband & son's first time. I ordered the dancing tuna roll (spicy tuna roll topped with blackened seared tuna; masago, scallions, wasabi sauce on top) again bc it was so good last time, along with the Sunday morning roll (salmon, cream cheese, lightly fried, spicy mayo, eel sauce) to share with my husband. Both rolls were excellent & definitely hit the spot. For my son I ordered the pot stickers. We all had some & they were delicious. The dipping sauce was a little sweeter than we are used to, but was still good. I also ordered what was listed as crab angle (what I have always known as crab Rangoon) & they were good, with a good amount of crispiness. My husband had the chicken pad Thai. Unfortunately he really, really did not care for it. He said it was entirely way too sweet & was unable to eat it, sharing my sushi instead, which he did enjoy. I was so bummed because I LOVE their sushi (plus the appetizers were also good), so this will probably be the restaurant I go to when I'm just ordering for me, as my husband doesn't typically eat a lot of sushi.

Side dishes with sashimi combos

Very good food, fresh sashimi, the quality of the fish is very good. I love it. I ordered Sashimi Dinner combo. Very satisfied. Will definitely come back soon. Recommended.

This is a good local place, the ambiance is as expected for sushi and hibachi. The services excellent, my hot sake was OK and the roles were 7/10. Not great but good

Burnt sirloin instead of Medium rare Filet with salty, but otherwise flavorless scallops and vegetables.

I have never had Hibachi to go. We are staying at a great hotel down the road from this place, and since we are celebrating something very special, my husband suggested we go here. Unfortunately, we could not go in person because had we gone in person, I could have sent my entire meal back. I ordered FILET & Scallops medium RARE. What I got was a SIRLOIN (thin sliced and tough vs. thick and tender), and, OVER WELL DONE! One bite, and I almost choked because the steak was SO dry and burnt. That disappointment came with 4 bland scallops and some extremely salty vegetables that I won't even feed our dogs. It thankfully came with some decent rice when added to my "green vegetable and bean curd soup." The soup was clear broth with lots of celery, 1 piece of zucchini, 2 pieces of broccoli, some fish flakes and, unfortunately, not a glimpse of bean curd (in any other Japanese restaurant, this means tofu). Overall, I was very hungry, so I ate 2 of the scallops, gave 1 to the dogs, and 1 to my husband. Only SOME pieces of the steak were even fit to feed the dogs (not completely burnt). Filet Mignon, as we all know, is a thick cut piece of meat. It is also an expensive cut of meat that should be cooked properly. I worked my way through college in a Steakhouse in Texas - we had to learn how to CUT each piece of beef to get the different cuts, what the differences are between them (thickness, tenderness, marbling, etc.), and what they look and taste like cooked to various temperatures. I also have a personal chef diploma, and can you this: What we paid for was Filet Mignon medium rare. What was tossed in the box was a DRY SIRLOIN, burnt, cut thin. 1 star for what my husband said was a good spicy tuna salad, and what he said is very good, Pad Thai. Otherwise, this would be a -2* review. I am a local guide on another site, as well as a small business owner, so I do not make bad reviews just to complain. I tend to lean the other direction and forgive small errors. This was blatant. Had we been sitting at the Hibachi table, they would have to cook Filet and do it correctly or risk having it sent back. This was genuinely the WORST Hibachi that I have had in my life, and I have traveled across the US and back, lived in Europe and Canada, and have traveled to Asia for work, and of course being Hibachi fans, it is a celebration to go to with family when we can visit Texas. Considering that most folks get Hibachi when they want something special, for $30, we can feast at a Hibachi place we go to in Anderson where we have never been disappointed. This was a celebration ruined by an extremely bad meal. Not only was it bad, but it is an INSULT to have your customers pay for something and to deliver something entirely different.

Decided to eat since we stopped off for gas and snacks nearby. It's in an older building. They do have a nice big wood deck out front and it's almost 70 degrees outside too. Still have their Christmas decorations up. Grab some sushi for our dinner. I like their cooked and raw sushi menu sides, makes it easy for picking out what we want that's cooked. We ordered two house salads, a spicy crab salad, volcano less masago, Snow White, dancing eel and a California roll. The house salad here is okay, dressing is fresh, some ginger in it, carrots, on the sweet side. The waitress asked we needed any forks, I told her no. She also had it check if we wanted the spicy crab or non-spicy, I confirmed we wanted the spicy. My husband had even asked for some sriracha for the sushi. My little side plate had on a crusted on something from the meal before me. The spicy crab salad is decent, smaller than I was thinking, it's nice and spicy, drizzled with some spicy Mayo. Decent flavor to it. Crab is a bit mangled and mashed up. The Snow White and Volcano rolls were good. The dancing eel and california weren't my favorites here. The volcano was the better of the 4 rolls. $63.01 for our meal. Tax is 7.8% here in Ohio. Our waitress isn't the warmest sort. She did thank me in Chinese, even though I am Korean.

Vegetable roll and Tuna

I have missed this place so much. Every time we come here we are not disappointed. We also leave so full we are about to pop. They do have some plates and hibachi, but we come for the sushi. They make a variety of fancy rolls if that is your thing. We usually get the All You Can Eat special. ($24.95 lunch/ $29.95 dinner) There is a specific menu for this and you have to sit at the bar. The options are nigiri or some simple rolls and hand rolls. The only rules are you must eat what you order and eat the rice. Oh and of course no sharing! Not that you will want to. You can order multiple times- so pace yourself. All the sushi is fresh made to order. My absolute fav thing here is the vegetable roll. I know weird for a sushi restaurant but I have never had anything like it. It is colorful and filled with a variety of veg that add pickle/ salty/slightly sweet/crunchy combo that is yum. The sashimi and nigiri are also very good My son got some gyoza today and it was very flavorful and the sauce was good too. Very large portion.

Nigiri: salmon, Toro, eel, tamago. Sashimi: yellowtail
Tarah F.

Some of the best sushi I've ever had! Good atmosphere and fresh fish. The only bad thing about this place is that it's not closer to my house.

Is there an area large enough for about 20-30 people with the hibachi? I was wanting to do dinner there after my wedding ceremony for my husband and our families. I just want to make sure they can accommodate that many people.

Yes.

Is the all you can eat sushi every day? Lunch and dinner?

Monday-Friday from 11:30-2:30 (lunch) and 5:30-9 pm (dinner) and Saturday-Sunday from 12-2:30 (lunch) and 5:30-9 pm (dinner). Lunch is $20.95 per person and dinner is $25.95 per person. I think they had a sign up about being closed one day per week… Read more

They are reservation only and it can be a challenge to get a reservation, so make sure you check their Instagram to figure out when they become available. We came here for a dinner reservation. For the vibes, they have 8 seats and sell out basically every single reservation. There were 2 people making the sushi and they were both super friendly and made great conversation. Each bite was carefully crafted and came with a thorough explanation of the individual parts and how they fit together. I don't think my words will do enough to explain each bite, but check out the pictures if you are interested. They have a few beers, cocktails, sake, and whiskey if you are interested in a drink to go with your meal. Overall, worth a visit for an excellent omakase experience!

The servers had already given the other customers a warm towel to clean their hands. We only knew this because the hand towels were still on the table next to the customers. We didn't receive the towels and instead used our own hand sanitizer after they mentioned we'd be eating with our hands. The hand towels remained on the table and were never taken away. The green tea was perfect on a cold snowy day. The fatty tuna was excellent in both the nigiri and hand roll. Presentation was 10/10 and flavor was there for each piece. However, when the food was given out the chef presented the food like he was reading off a menu. There was no additional information on what went into it and what he was doing. The food was delicious and fresh! The overall experience was sub par. I would think if we're paying this much that it would be more of an experience. Especially in Cincinnati when people crave culture and are going there for a cultural experience, I would expect for knowledge given and information. Rather than having to ask for information

So, for the hellzbellz of it, I thought I'd just put in my exact notes. Here it goes: "Max is a delight. Shrimp Shumai is wonderful. Chicken Fried Rice is done properly without being over seasoned or too salty. Spicy Tuna will run you out of town!" HA! What fun notes I left for myself. I do recall their drinks being very nice and strong. Totally worth ordering a fun adult beverage. Max was an absolute delight... just a nice human being. I remember we'd had a really rough day and Max read the vibe. Without being overwhelming, Max just made dinner a wonderful experience. Thanks, Max. You're good people. The entire food scene was great that night. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Even though this was a while back, I remember we took leftovers home (which I NEVER eat)... that night, I ate them! Price was on-point, ambiance is great... sit away from the door if you are a wuss like me and hate the cold "door blast". I remember being impressed by the amount of take-out and doordash that was lined along the counter. Kanji OTR is solid. We'll look forward to visiting again!
