Cincinnati is in Ohio, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Cincinnati follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

My go-to place for sushi, since I live just a few blocks away. Can't go wrong with sushi rolls that are half-price ALL THE TIME. Great service. They also have delicious Korean stone bowl dishes that are so full that I always have leftovers to take home.

Moving my reviews over from Yelp. We were in the area to visit our daughter at Miami. Originally published 11/5/18: Out of towners note: this is a college sushi place. Basically right across the street from University of Cincinnati. What that means to you is the following: 1. Ridiculously inexpensive sushi 2. Really busy 3. Non-sushi items are pretty reasonable but not cheap 4. Appetizers and desserts are regular price 5. They have a format - screw with the format at your own risk What's the format? Each diner gets an order sheet. Each order sheet results in a plate hitting your table. Combine orders and you'll still see a plate hit your table - one plate. Order all willy-nilly by telling your server what you want when he/she happens by and you'll see everything arrive on it's own plate and in no particular order. Don't fight it - just go with the flow. As much as I enjoy sushi, the best bite of the night goes to Kid2's Galbi entree. Really tender, juicy beef short rib slices that must have been marinated for a really, really long time as they were so infused with flavor it was mind-blowing. Add in the gorgeous caramelization that took place when they were cooked over high he

Amazing place!! Iβm suprised itβs open so late and actually serving food. The food was so good!! I got Kimchi Chi Ke, which is a kimchi stew. It was so flavorable and spicy, it came with rice, more Kimchi, some type of fish cake, and a sort of spicy cucumber. All of it was so delicious and the stew came on a hot plate which was incredible and kept it hot through my meal. I also got the American Psycho Roll, it was so good and it was half priced! The ambience was so nice too, I went by myself and didnβt feel awkward. Will definitely go again to try more of their Korean dishes!

Visiting Cinci from Lexington for my anniversary. Some of the best vibes and Korean food Iβve ever had. Husband got the Bulgogi and I got the Boki. Both were phenomenal, amazing flavor and balance of spice and flavor. Definition of hole in the wall, good for the soul food. Atmosphere was very chill; great music, staff all kind, and all tables were full of conversation and laughs.
