Started off with an appetizer of soft shell crab which tasted delicious and had a great sweet sauce with it. Red wine and sake were great. Sake tasted like a sweet white wine with a hint of fruit. If you ask for some they will come in a small bottle (cooking wine size) so be prepared. Overall, great ambiance, would 100% come again.

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.

I put all of my friends on to Tenji a few years back and we refuse to go to any other spot.

Absolutely scrumptious Thai iced tea preferred over other local places. And the crab rangoons are light and crispy (think wonton wrapper --not egg roll). I've been here before, but tried a new dish today. I got the ginger stir-fry with only onion, snow peas, and ginger in it. It's a very thin and light sauce and the chicken is tender (NOT fried or battered). The only thing I'd change next time is swapping the steamed white rice for fried. I will definitely go back for this dish! My son opted for the basil fried rice w/beef. He's braver than I, and chose 2.5 on the spicy scale (1-3 are the choices!). He loved it and the crab rangoons, and he's not usually a fan of rangoons. It's family friendly and good for any small groups. Very friendly staff, as well. And save room for the mango sticky (black) rice dessert. ;)

They grill it up with your choice of noodles and or fried rice and serve it direct to your table. In addition there was a wide selection of sushi rolls, rice wrapped and fried. With a variety of California style rolls, fish, shrimp,squid and others. The Sashimi also had quite a selection tuna, salmon, squid, seaweed salad and more. Overall there was a nice selection and all of the food was fresh and tasty. The servers www very pleasant and kept our drinks full. We would definitely try this again.

Cool Concept, but they definitely need to improve things…read more We were visiting from out of state and the kiddos couldn't agree on anything for dinner and as we drove by this location they both seemed interested so we gave it a shot. Similar concept to a mongolian grill but WAY less organized with a nice addition of a small traditional(ish) buffet included. The bowl you start with is comically small, which I imagine is intentional to deter folks from wasting but also to provide time in between to limit how many times people actually go up to get the Hibachi style food. We would have prefered just getting their buffet style food as it tasted better and we didnt have to wait. Somehow, BOTH of our girls didnt get their Hibachi/mongolian style plates they made up and we had to ask for new bowls so they could make their bowls again. It was very confusing and the customer service was pretty bad in that regard. Everyone seemed to like the food but it was just ok. Not a place I would ever consider returning to or recommending to someone.

The menu looked sooo good for takeout but I was a little disappointed with our order for a couple…read morereasons. I would try it again, but would probably seek out a different place to try first to compare. First, I found the ordering process a bit confusing. Their website advertises BOGO rolls but it's unclear how the second roll is taken off the bill. I was expecting to see a second roll deducted from my bill but didn't, so I called and found out that there is a plus icon under every roll that indicates a second one. I could see this after that, and it made sense. I was coordinating an order for 6 adults so there were several different rolls in our order plus all the free ones. When we picked up the food to split, it was all on one giant platter. This was fun (and I'm glad it saved waste) but we couldn't tell which roll was which and which was the second free one. I wish I would have known to ask for takeout containers to split up the extra also. Another note about the ordering- there is nowhere on the website to enter a pre-set pickup time (only default 25-30 minute option) so you'd have to either order right before pickup or call the restaurant like I did to change the time on your order. I also ordered vegetable fried rice and green gyoza. The fried rice was good but not great. It was hot and fresh, but just not as flavorful so I topped it with more of my gyoza sauce. The green gyoza were not good. The skin was dry and stiff, and the inside was a starchy filling, almost like chickpea or another starchy bean. It was not the soft wrappers with smooth fresh filling I expected, and I was bummed cause I was looking forward to them so much. Our order was on time and the restaurant had easy parking and entry. But besides that, I found all of the aspects of this takeout experience to be just okay.

I'll start with the two biggest positives: they have a buy one get one free sushi roll menu with roughly 12 options. The size of the rolls are pretty good! My husband ordered a crispy crab roll, which is crab and tempura and cream cheese. This is typically his favorite role at other restaurants, but there's didn't quite measure up to others we have had. I got a white tuna and avocado roll. It was totally fine and I would eat it again. I am a huge spicy mayo fan and love it so much. I added it to every single role. So if the spicy mayo is mediocre or not good, it could keep me from coming back again. Sadly, there's totally missed the Mark as it was really sweet instead of savory. I would definitely eat here again for the prices and portion sizes, but wouldn't go out of my way to do so.
