    Menu I received
    Sadie L.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a year now but I've never been in the mood for it when I'm in the area. But today was the day. It was a cold day and I knew a nice hot pho would hit the spot! I dined in alone. Very small restaurant with 7 or so tables. The atmosphere was very quaint and peaceful but it was soon disrupted by several delivery and Togo orders walking in and out, and standing/waiting in the small space. It definitely seemed like they were priority over diners. It took a very long time to receive my food after ordering. The restaurant was empty when I came in and one family had come in a good while after me, ordered and received appetizers long before I got my dish. My pho came and the temperature was between warm and hot. Pho should come out almost (if not) steaming. As a result, the noodles had all clumped together.... I really needed it hot because I was freezing, literally the thing that urged me to come in before going home. I would have asked them to reheat it but then the noodles would be completely gross and I didn't want to risk waiting another half hour or so to remake it. I ordered spice level 4... surprisingly it was a little too much for my liking. I'm used to pho being spiced by jalapeños and they used a seasoning that gave a different kind of heat. I prefer the jalapeño. I would have overlooked these things and definitely was going to give them another try during a lunch hour, but that hauled when I received my bill. I was charged $2 more than what the phone with beef was listed on the menu. Few things irk me more than when places aren't transparent with their prices, straight out overcharging than advertised. Only if they'd make this right I'd give them another chance.

    Crispy Garlic Chicken
    Renae D.

    We ordered carry out. It was late so it was ready pretty quick. The inside was fairly small & nothing fancy but the colors were nice & the food was pretty good. Chicken pot stickers for an appetizer were okay. Nothing special. I got the crispy garlic chicken with broccoli & fried rice. I Loved the chicken. I love spice but I decided on level 7 & it was perfect. Not too spicy & perfectly crispy. I will say the rice was very bland for my liking but I luckily asked for their hot sauce. I mixed the hot sauce with a tiny bit of yum yum sauce. Do yourself that favor & dip anything with that combo lol Oh & a salad. I personally loved the dressing for the house salad but my husband just said it was okay. So personal preference but maybe worth a try :) My husband got the chicken hibachi with fried rice & a couple pork egg rolls. He said the chicken & rice were good but not a fan of the egg roll. Overall it wasn't bad & we would try again sometime.

    Fried rice to accompany the crispy garlic chicken

    I ordered on Uber Eats (it was a late night working, okay ) and I didn't expect much, to be honest. Ordering Asian food for delivery is a lot like buying something on Temu; you never know what you're getting. But this is quite literally some of the best Asian food I've had in quite some time. I tried the Lettuce Wraps, Crispy Garlic Chicken and also ordered the Basil Fried Rice to take to work for lunch tomorrow. All I can say is Well Done. My tastebuds ascended from my body, into the heavens of flavor punches to the face and I'm left speechless at how delicious this food is. If it's this good delivered, I can't imagine how good it is at the actual restaurant. I'm going to call ahead to make sure the same chef is back there (assuming it was God Himself with how good the food is) just I can experience the in person train to flavor town. Thanks for tasty food y'all!

    Chicken House Pad Thai
    Natalie R.

    Food: 3.5/5 We got the gyoza, chicken pad Thai, hibachi steak, and Thai tea (cause you know I'm obsessed). Gyoza is nice and crispy with a good dipping sauce. The chicken pad Thai was a bit heavy on the fish sauce for me, but it might have just been that order. I ordered the spice at a six, thinking it wouldn't be hot, but it had more kick than expected. Hibachi steak was good with yum yum dipping sauce. The Thai teas were tasty and a nice sweet treat. I didn't order it this time, but their chicken khao soi soup is super tasty. It inspired me to make it home. Definitely, my favorite dish there. Service: 4.5/5 I've never been there when it's packed, so usually, the service is fast and attentive. However, they are pumping out a lot of take-out orders, so at the same time, the staff is busy. Atmosphere: 3.5/5 Small and intimate dining room. The space is clean and feels very warmly decorated. They have many lucky bamboo plants, so you know it's a great Asian restaurant. Their parking is limited, but their takeout is well executed.

    Wings
    Grace R.

    The pictures make the sushi look amazing but it is not at all. I couldn't eat a roll it had a rotten fish flavor. The wings were good but that was about it. We were also the only people in the restaurant so that was not a very good sign. Service was good nothing special.

    Crispy garlic chicken & traditional fried rice

    We Uber eats Asian spice bistro pretty frequently & let me tell you, they have never missed! We order our favorite, crispy garlic chicken, every time and it remains to be delicious!! The chicken is still crispy by the time we receive our order and the flavoring of the sauce is too good. I highly recommend.

    Drunken Noodles Lunch Special
    Sonam P.

    For these lunch special prices, I'd definitely go back. I work in the area and a friend of mine suggested this place when we went out for lunch. I love Thai food so I was eager to try it out. From the outside it may look a bit out of place and shady, but once you go inside, you"ll see it's actually a nice little restaurant inside. They offer great deals for lunch from sushi rolls to noodles and rice. I think he portions are just right as well as you don't feel stuffed afterwards but your hunger is satisfied. I got the Drunken Noodles. Although it was darker and sicker than I usually get, the noodles were still tasty. I actually love sauces and want a lot so it worked out better for me. However, that does make the noodles softer rather than a bit stiff like drunken noodles are. I did wish it had a little more vegetables. My friends got sushi rolls that seemed fresh and delicious. They are larger rolls so filling if you just got one for lunch. It seems a lot of people do take out from there as it isn't that busy for lunch inside the restaurant (the place is smaller so probably for the best) and I saw a lot of folks come in and out to pick up orders. This isn't my favorite Thai place in Cincinnati, but I would be back for the lunch specials so I can try more of the dishes.

    This is $18 worth of salad. It did come with a small container of watered-down sugar ginger dressing?
    Greg M.

    Took a try on this place. Won't do it again. Does that really look like $18 worth of salad? 5 pcs of spinach, maybe 26 pcs of iceberg, 3 slices of tomato, and two cucumber slices. The general chicken was pretty good. the spider roll was cooked in burnt oil, and the eel roll was just dry. $58 please.

    Wheres the pickled mustard greens? There are also meant to be crispy egg noodles and not wonton strips that lose all composure.

    I went here for my birthday in December, best sushi I've ever had. This puts every sushi I have…read moreever had in a lower class. 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.

    I went to the Thursday 5:00 p.m. seating, and I know I got lucky getting a reservation. I logged on…read morearound 7:00 that morning to book, and I was able to get one on my first try. Several people in my group said they'd tried multiple times without any luck. From what I've heard, Thursday at 5:00 is one of the easier reservations to get, because the Friday and Saturday 7:00 p.m. seatings disappear almost instantly. I've had sushi all over the country (although not all over the world), and this was hands down the best sushi I've ever had. The quality of the fish is incredible--they fly it in from Japan--and every course was beautifully presented. The pairings the chef came up with were amazing and really let the fish shine. The menu changes every day and every season, so you'll never have the exact same experience twice. One of my favorite surprises was the miso soup. The chef explained that the broth is made using the bones from the fish we were eating that evening, and it was honestly one of the best bowls of miso soup I've ever had. The only suggestion I'd make is to have a simple printed menu with the names of each course and maybe a few notes about the ingredients. The chef explains every course, but there are so many Japanese names and details that it's hard to remember everything by the time you leave. I would have loved something to take notes on or even just glance at while he was talking. The only other thing I noticed was that the ending felt just a little rushed. There are seatings at 5:00, 7:00, and 9:00, and by the end of our meal the next group was already waiting in the entryway. It wasn't a big deal, but it was noticeable. The experience is $115 per person, and the required 20% gratuity is paid when you make the reservation. You can also order alcoholic drinks during dinner. At the end, the chef offers an optional add-on (ours was either a $30 bowl or a $12 roll). I skipped it because it featured a type of fish that usually isn't my favorite, but after seeing what the chef did with everything else, I was honestly tempted to give it a try. Maybe next time. This was one of those meals that you keep thinking about long after it's over. Everything was thoughtful, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. I can honestly say it's the best sushi I've ever had, and I'd love to come back every season to see how the menu changes.
