    TONKOTSU RAMEN
    Aubrey L.

    My husband and I just stopped here before we saw a movie. I've passed it several times and always been curious to try it. We both got the tonkatsu ramen, but I got mine spicy and with bok choy. We both really loved our meals. It was delicious and the pork was so tender, it just melted in your mouth. The waitress was really friendly. My husband also got the frozen mango margarita. I'm not a drinker and am very sensitive to the taste of alcohol, so believe me when I say it did not taste like alcohol at all. The only downside was the restaurant was pretty loud, it was at times hard to hear each other speak. But not a big deal to me honestly.

    1st Timer.... Stopped for lunch... waitress was quick to seat me and explained menu. Relaxing atmosphere... had tankatsu ramen...pretty darn good.... Can't give 5 until the next time...

    Zundo Ramen & Donburi, started from Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati, recently opened up along N High St. There is plenty of table seating along with bar top and patio available. Other than ramen, they do have some unique option from the appetizer and donburi [Japanese rice bowl] front. Such as soft shell crab, Kaki Fry [Deep Fried Oyster] and Loco Moco Don [Rice bowl with beef patty and egg]. Plus, some selection of fruit and bubble tea. One thing to highlight for their ramen is from the ramen broth to the ramen noodles, everything are freshly made in house from scratch. I got myself a Tonkotsu Ramen and love the broth is super rich and flavorful. Along with the chashu that are tender and slightly charred. And please give a moment to the Katsu Don, rice bowl topped with deep-fried pork cutlets with egg, green onion and ginger. First of all, that perfectly cook pork cutlet is juicy, along with the egg and onion. Flavor is totally on point and I just want to encore on the rice for it. Secondly, that rice bowl is huge and can easily feed two people. Also can't forget my favorite appetizer, Takoyaki and I really like that Geso Karaage [Deep-fried squid legs] as well.

    Surprisingly good ramen in Columbus, OH. The chicken karaage was perfectly fried; tasty and flavorful ramen with a perfectly cooked soft boiled egg. The eel onigiri I ordered on the side was just as delicious.

    Seafood Ramen

    Wanted something simple. This was exactly what I was after. Started with the seaweed salad and then the seafood ramen. Generous amount of broth, and noodles. The other ingredients were a good ratio as well. Would definitely come again.

    Onigiri, TATSUTA-AGE, cucumber salad.

    Peanut and tree nut allergy safe. At the time of this review this restaurant doesn't use any peanuts or peanut oil. Called ahead to ask about allergy and asked at the table and they took everything very seriously and were extremely thorough with ingredients and cross contamination. The waitress was especially nice and professional with being asked multiple questions. The food itself was also delicious. I ordered a couple appetizers and onigiri. Cucumber salad was refreshing and fresh. Tatsu-age was crisp and flavorful with a lemon on the side to squeeze on it. The two onigiri (salmon and mentaiko) tasted great and had a good ratio of filling to rice. I haven't had anything else on the menu so I can't speak on those items but everything I ordered I was very pleased with. Overall a peaceful and relaxing lunch. I'm sad I'm not a local but I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area.

    For just opening about a week ago, I'm super impressed with this restaurant! Our server Christian was literally perfect - super welcoming and kind, and checked in on us just the right amount. My partner and I decided to split the katsu don entree and 2 starters, and I'm really glad that we did. The katsu don was not bad at all, but definitely not the best I've had; but the quality was understandable for a new restaurant and I'm sure will get better over time. I felt like it was just missing something, just a tad bland. However, the starters were really really good! The geso karaage was way crispier than it looks and perfect for a squid or calamari lover like myself. The takoyaki was some of the best I've had, very flavorful and perfectly done. My partner and I were full after splitting both starters and maybe half of the katsu don. Even if the donburi was way better next time, I would still consider ordering 2 starters to share with an entree just to try more and have the variety. I also ordered the Signature Fruit Tea, which was well balanced between real tea taste and sweetness. It had 2 orange slices and 1 lemon slice. Last note for the management: It was only mildly irritating, but the timed light in the women's restroom needs a longer time on. I had to wildly wave my arm around several times so I wasn't in complete dark lol. Overall, I had a really great experience dining in! There's an outdoor seating area that looks similarly comfortable and chill as well.

    Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box - so good and large portion!

    Food and service were great. The place was clean and cute. The ramen is scrumdiddlyumptious! We will be back to get this again and again!

    Don't let the strip mall fool you. Yoshi is hiding some of the best, most upscale sushi in the…read morecity! TL;DR: Upscale food in a low-key area. We spent $230 (w/ tip) and it was worth every penny. Probably the best Japanese restaurant in the city. We passed by this place multiple times on our way elsewhere. We're Mario fans, so the name Yoshi caught our eye, but the cramped strip mall exterior doesn't exactly scream culinary dream. We decided to take a chance, and let me just say--wow. It's an intimate space with just a few tables and an 8-10 seat sushi bar. We didn't have reservations (make one, they fill up fast) but managed to snag seats at the bar. The service immediately stood out. We had better attention here than at some upscale steakhouses--glasses never went empty, and their menu suggestions were spot on. One minor heads-up: at the sushi bar, staff sometimes walk behind you to talk to the chefs, which can be a bit distracting. For starters, we grabbed the gyoza and asked for a standout small plate. They pointed us to the beef tongue. It arrived hot with shredded onions and spicy mustard, delivering a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness with a deep, beefy richness. The gyoza was equally flawless. Instead of the overly chewy or burnt wrappers you find at most spots, these had a delicate, golden-brown sear with an intensely savory, garlicky umami filling. We paired this with Sayuri sake, a creamy, unfiltered pour that perfectly balanced sweetness with a dry, clean finish. Since we love nigiri, we ordered a spread: tuna, salmon, smoked salmon, sweet shrimp, and Japanese scallop, plus a salmon/avocado roll. The cuts were impeccably sourced and practically dissolved on the tongue. You rarely find this level of consistency. Just a heads up--they prepare it the traditional way, meaning there is a dab of wasabi tucked directly under the fish. We also tried the Wagyu A-5 roll. It's about as "meat and potatoes" as a roll can get: steak, carrots, asparagus, and rice. The seared Wagyu fat melted instantly, creating a decadent, buttery glaze over the crisp vegetables. It's one of those rare foods that genuinely forces you to pause after each bite. At $40, it was 100% worth it. I can't say enough about this experience. Next time, we're leveling up to the fatty tuna and Wagyu experience on their special menu. That's the exact culinary peak we've been looking for, and incredibly, it's tucked inside a suburban strip mall. Absolutely brilliant.

And who doesn't believe a cocktail will help burn the germs out of you? I know I do! The place was relatively quiet (it was like 8pm on a Sunday) so I was able to get seated immediately and my server was active and friendly all evening. After looking at the menu proudly showcasing all the Japanese spirits, I found the cocktail menu disappointingly Caribbean/tiki heavy (which I don't ordinarily mind being a rum drinker, but some drinks to match the cuisine or at least use those Japanese whiskeys and things more would have been amazing!). I opted for a New Fashioned cocktail to try and sample some of said spirit. While not bad, I found it pretty orange-y (who puts all those orange chunks into such a beverage?) and the spirit to be pretty mild in flavor (I'd like to think my taste buds weren't affected by my sickness). For dinner, I went for the miso ramen with pork chashu. Having not had proper ramen too many times in my life (those $.99 packets from the grocery store do NOT count), I've got relatively little to compare my experience to here. However, I will resoundingly say I was very happy with the food. The pork could be picked up and apart with chop sticks easily enough and was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The noodles and the flavors were just all sooooo good. I'm not a big mushroom fan at all, but I was happy to find they were cut razor thin and actually highly enjoyable. All in all, the drink menu needs an overhaul. Why have all those great Japanese spirits and then do a 180 with the cocktail menu? Makes no sense! Almost makes me want to bump down to 4 stars... but man, the food is just too good.

We got a couple appetizers to try and a couple ramen dishes to try. The Karaage was okay, the breading wasn't special and the flavor of the nuggets and sauce were a bit underwhelming. The gyoza was disappointing and lacked flavor. The TanTan Mazemen was good but it could have used some extra toppings to help the dish, such as corn, mushrooms, or something to balance the savory flavor. The sauce was pretty good but the ratio to ramen noodles was way too much sauce. We asked for an extra bowl of plain noodles but got a bowl of noodles and sauce. The Spicy Miso was pretty good and flavorful, it had decent toppings and spice. It was a solid basic miso broth and pretty good. Overall, the food was good but there was something missing from each dish and it was a bit pricey for the individual dishes. Staff was nice but seemed somewhat rushed when we were trying to order and throughout our meal. Overall, they were very attentive and would clean off our table every time they stopped by. We felt like we had to finish our dish because they wanted to grab the empty dish. Overall, it was a decent experience. I was a bit disappointed in the food but would try other dishes if I'm in the area. Staff was nice and service was good!

I was in the neighborhood today and decided to pick one up for late lunch/early dinner. Overall, it was okay. Expensive for the relatively small amount of food in my opinion, especially the beef rendang, but I realize beef is costly for restaurants lately. The rendang was tender, but not as flavorful as I was expecting (more salt might have helped). The coconut kale was a bit strange - I'm going to say that's mostly because I'm not a fan of kale, period. The vermicelli side was a nice addition, and the rice was great. I liked the mustofa potatoes, although they weren't "crispy" as described. The reheating instructions said to take out the little cup of potatoes first, but when cold they would have come out in a single clump, so I popped them in the microwave by themselves afterward for 15 seconds and that did the trick. Other issues: "consume by" date was yesterday. I don't worry too much about that kind of thing, but if you do, you might want to check your order before you leave the premises. Also, the container was too big to rotate in my small microwave. It worked out okay anyway. I tasted the sambal I got - nice heat, but again, not as much flavor as I was looking for. I'm sure I'll use it up elsewhere. Got a couple other things for lunch tomorrow, I'll update after I've tried them (pork bun, and cucumber salad). Bottom line: probably not your best choice for Indonesian food, if you're already familiar with it. Fortunately there's a place that's supposed to be opening later this year in Clintonville. Update: bumped up my rating based on the strength of the pork bun and cucumber salad. The bun: tender and fluffy like it was supposed to be. The filling - pork belly falling apart, perfect, cucumber on top, and a few shreds of pickled veg that I would have been happy to get a bit more of. Don't know what the condiment on the bun was, but all in all it was a very nice package for my lunch. The cucumber salad was delicious. Chili crisp made in house over chopped cucumber - lovely contrast. The chili crisp provides a nice little bite, not "hot" (YMMV, I like hot foods) but really tasty.
