Excellent spot. Came here after visiting Wabi Sabi (since they're the same owner) and we were closer to this location. The sushi is so delicious as is the fried rice and we had excellent service. You cannot beat the price either! read more

Cloud 9 came highly recommended. Parking is not the easiest and you better look both ways if you are crossing the busy road. This place is not the ritz, but the food and service were amazing. We were seated quickly and our server had a few suggestions on what we might enjoy. Our drinks were cold and he brought them quickly. The menu has something for everyone. We ordered a lot of sushi and it was all delicious. I was surprised how fast our food was ready. We hardly waited for anything all night. The service was fantastic. Our sushi was half off. You can't beat that. You cant beat this place at all for that matter. The next time we are in town, you can bet I will go back to Cloud 9. read more

I love cloud 9 and it's even good to go. Cloud 9 has always been one of my go to's on the west side. When you go try the red double. It's delicious. I didn't really have any interaction with the staff because my food was on the pick up table when I got there but in the past the service has been great. read more

If you are looking for half-price sushi, Cloud 9 is a good place to check out. The restaurant is pretty no-frills, but the waitresses and waiters are friendly and efficient. Each time that I have visited recently, we have been seated right away. They have a wide variety of sushi rolls on their menu. In general, the rolls have bit more sauce than I prefer, but they are still tasty. One of my favorite rolls from here is called the Red Double. If you like shrimp, definitely give it a try. We also usually order the gyoza, which is a tasty way to start the meal. They also have soup and some entrees if sushi isn't your thing. All in all a nice, casual sushi spot. read more

Maybe not the best quality of sushi, but what do you expect in Cincinnati? The best part about it is it's 1/2 off when you dine in! The best roll on the menu is definitly the Sunday Morning roll. This is a nostalgic hole in the wall restaurant from when I was in college. They stay open late (2 AM) so it has always been a great spot to stop after a night of drinking. It is my favorite sushi spot for 1/2 off and the servers have a chill vibe. read more

Do not get chicken fried rice. It was soft and flavorless and reminded me of some of the worst experiences I've had eating out in my life. I gave my mom a bite and she started complaining about the taste stuck in her mouth. read more

The sushi was excellent and was priced at 1/2 off. The calamari was pretty bland and didn't taste entirely cooked. The miso soup was decent, though. The only issue with this location was the 2HR parking lot. If you want to stay longer in the area, try street parking! Service and Ambiance were great! read more

The food was really good. Ordered a lot of food and all was good. Really enjoyed the spicy crab salad. Forget what rolls we order but they were all good. The service was good and it wasn't too crowded in there. Was able to be seated quickly. Wild go back. read more

"Half Off" (40% carry out) sushi but its not worth it for the poor quality. Cloud 9 used to be my go to for cheap but decent sushi. Went to satisfy a craving recently and was disappointed. Speed was good for takeout and the staff was very polite and quick. The sushi was bland, not fresh or frozen, and just not good. I got three rolls and none of them was good while 1 (baked salmon) was depressing. Rather just lose the fish and have the other ingredients but event those were half quality. Wont be back and cannot recommend the location anymore. 5/10 read more

Going off of reviews, this seemed to be a great place to get some delicious sushi. To begin, the service was great but then when it comes down to the quality and taste it certainly wasn't there. Cloud 9 lacks here. Our sushi tasted like it was in the refrigerator for awhile. The salmon in one of the tasted very fishy which normally fresh salmon would not have a fishy flavor. What makes it even worse is that the salmon was marinated in Sriracha sauce and you still get that fishy taste. For appetizer we had the gyoza. I've had better elsewhere, just reminded me of a frozen brand in Kroger I once had in the past. I'm quite puzzled how you get five stars??? read more

Looking at some of the other reviews begs the question, what were they expecting? Cloud 9 is one of our go to sushi places. It's a dive for sure, but that doesn't mean the food is bad. Is it the greatest sushi in Cincinnati? No. But it is decent food at a decent price. I guess we're not as sophisticated as some of these reviewers (I doubt it) as some people take pleasure in complaining. Always a good value. I'm craving some now. read more

All of these years, we've passed hy Cloud 9 sushi to go to Ichiban. Who knew we were making a mistake? Cloud 9 was delicious! We had great service! Our waiter looked like Scott Caan! And what a deal it was! We will be back! read more

Ordered take out. The crab salad didn't mention it uses soggy panko as filler. I thought I was getting crab meat and cucumber in a spicy marinade. What I got was gross. Pad Tai was a good portion for the price. read more

Waitress with the butterfly neck tattoo is unprofessional and picks literal fights with customers with her nasty attitude. management is horrible. Food is bland, way better options in the city. If you're melanated, think twice. won't be back. Ever. read more

My experience on 07/23/25 was horrible I have never in my life been treated the way the manager treated me and my guest last night. He was clearly frustrated and overwhelmed and he doesn't know how to handle certain situations nor de-escalate situations. He never apologized for his mistake. He gave the wrong table our food after I repeatedly told him several times that food was for my table. The manager completely ignored me and placed the food on the incorrect table anyway. Then the waitress came over and told him he was at the wrong table. He acted as if he didn't care at all. Then we had to wait another 20 minutes for our food which then was incorrect again and had to be sent back. So at this point food has been sent back twice because of the managers actions. Then the manager had the nerve to have an attitude because the food got sent back to be made over again. He was upset you can tell by his body language and his word choice. But that was not our fault that was his fault. And not once did he apologize. Instead he made a smart remark or comment to the waitress. The manager on duty was very rude and unprofessional. Even though the waitress tried her best to correct the issue. The damage had already been done. The manager spoke with such a mean tone of voice and he used profanity. We still paid for our food but when we expressed the disappointment in our service he immediately got defensive and disrespectful. I have have eaten here plenty of times and have never been treated that way. The manager needs some additional training and he needs to learn how to have more compassion. My sister lost her husband recently and last night was her first time out the house in a while and the manager was not a nice person to deal with. Very obnoxious, he was sweating very bad and yelling for no reason. All we wanted was our food cooked the way it was ordered and we wanted to eat at the same time. My guest had to watch me eat my food and then after waiting for almost another 20 minutes my guest left without eating and we still paid for the bill and tipped the waitress even though the manager was rude. The hostess suggested we come back Friday and speak to the restaurant owner to express our dissatisfaction regarding the manager. This was bad and I'm so hurt and disappointed. I work 3 jobs and I never speak to people the way he spoke to us. That is unacceptable behavior. I cat refer or recommend this establishment because I am afraid of how the manager will behave if something doesn't go the way he wants it to go. And that he should be ashamed. read more

Came last night at 1:10 or so and stood waiting to be seated while the cashier was gossiping with some girls and ignoring me and my date. Two male servers made eye contact and also ignored me. I stopped one to ask to be seated and he said they stop serving food at 1:20 but I can get carry out. In the same breath he took a sushi order form from 2 girls sitting at the bar So I'm not sure why THEY was able to order and not us. I've been going to this restaurant for years and never heard of them doing this and had they not ignored me then I could have ordered before 1:20. I am beyond upset at how me and my date were treated! It was intentional without a doubt and we are a mixed race couple which makes me assume that was the reason . I'm a server and I usually tip very well even on carry out so they def lost out. read more

All this great talk about Cloud 9 from locals had me wondering whether it was all true or if it was just a hype... Well, tonight I finally got to experience it with two friends and I can finally say, it was most definitely just a hype and did not meet quality sushi standards. The sushi restaurant right next door was a lot better and served better quality seafood. Don't get me wrong, the sushi looked appetizing, but the taste was unfitting. Such a disappointment because I really was hoping for this to be as great as people claimed it to be. The inside was also really dirty and looked ran down. Service was a bit off and felt disorganized. None of us enjoyed it at all, but we're glad we at least tried it once. Most likely will not be coming back. Probably going to stick to Ichiban. read more

The food is delicious, hands-down. Probably my favorite restaurant, to be honest. But the price is just absolutely ridiculous. I only go once, maybe twice a year. Just ordered a pretty reasonable amount of food for one person, and the total was $40. Only on very very special occasions. read more

The food and drinks are 10/10. Our waiter was odd/kinda rude but other than that very good. read more

This is my first time experiencing Cloud 9 Sushi. Every time my Mr and I drive past it, we say we are going to check it out someday. Thank god for local delivery service for times likes these. We also want to support small businesses. We ordered on a Saturday night and waiting time was 45 minutes to an hour. We ended up ordering: -Sunday Morning- Deep fried salmon, cream cheese topped with eel -Gyoza Potstickers- Pan fried Pork Dumplings -Pad Thai- (you can pick your spice level) Stir fried rice noodles with eggs, red chili oil, bean sprouts, green onions, garnished with crushed peanuts. When we got our meals they were still hot. Wow! The pad Thai had great flavor and a good kick on spice. My deep fried salmon roll was so delicious and the gyoza pot stickers also had a great kick. Definitely want to try more on the menu. When this is all over, we are definitely going to dine in. read more

You can't find better sushi for a better price anywhere in Cincinnati! Open late at night, fast, friendly service, dive-y atmosphere.

Not impressed by the food quality or taste. The rice to fish proportions in the sushi was mediocre. When I can eat 4 roles and an appetizer and still be hungry, something doesn't add up. read more

Hole in the wall sushi spot that is always packed! Best thing is how late they are open. It can truly be a blessing to people, haha! It is cheap sushi and is delicious. Best place to go in Cincinnati. Can be pretty packed at night, especially on weekends but worth it for the price and atmosphere. The original area is more comfy and welcoming than the added addition but covid also makes it feel very spaced out and weird. read more

Visited this location 1-3 times per week UNTIL our most recent visit. Let me say up front that we have always tipped 20%. Every visit, every time. For whatever reason the manager decided to approach us prior to even ordering and say "How come you always come here and eat, and don't tip well? Are you going to tip today?" REALLY? Baffled and confused asked what he was talking about, but he just responded with the same dialogue. Assured him he was mistaken, and that he must be confused. Seriously though what management asks any customer that? Proceeded to exit Cloud 9, and can assure you the establishment has lost our business. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this sushi spot! It's one of my regular places! The staff is always super friendly and the food is absolutely delicious, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the building is kind of run down and could use some updating aesthetically. read more

When you are craving sushi on a casual evening, or a late night snack, cloud 9 is the go to spot! They have an extensive menu of specialty rolls and all of them are half off when you dine in. Not to mention they have great happy hour specials and a variety of cocktails. Sushi rolls are the go to in a place like cloud 9, but don't sleep on the potstickers, pad Thai and other entrees-everything i have ordered has always been great! Also shout out to the great service! They keep the drinks full and make sure their customers are taken care of, even when they are busy. One thing to note is it is a popular spot, so expect a wait. They take your name and will text you when your table is ready, so you can always grab a cocktail at a nearby spot while you wait. read more

SO! These pictures are from one dine in experience and one take away experience (though I'm kind of a regular here). Cloud 9 on the outside doesn't look like much and even on the inside it's a little tight - thought they've done a nice job of social distancing tables for what they can work with. I come for the half off sushi OBVIOUSLY, and I have yet to be disappointed. The rolls are filling, flavorful, and affordable. Sometimes (almost always) I over order, so keep in mind these are generous servings if you don't want leftovers. **The only thing I've ever been disappointed in here was the Pad Thai. Shame on me though - this is a sushi spot. The Pad Thai was not Pad Thai, because I love traditional style Pad Thai and it doesn't look or taste like this. These are more of a messy drunken noodle. I actually didn't eat it because it was just not good even for a drunken noodle.** I will 1000% be back, they have not lost my loyalty. I just won't be straying away from the sushi menu again, any time soon. read more

This sushi is so YUMMY!!! They are always busy and there's usually a wait when I order ahead - but it's probably because they get so much business. They have half off sushi every day...which if you think about it...is regular price. BUT, we won't get into yet. Also happy and satisfied when I get sushi there :) There's hair in that sushi in the photo but it's mine...I'm sorry read more

Cloud 9 has fantastic sushi! They don't particularly have beautiful decor or a fantastic exterior but their food more than makes up fir that. Their prices are about average, regular for half price sushi places. Regarding quality and quantity I'm very happy with the freshness of the fish; the rolls all taste great. Especially the specialty rolls. I personally love their sashimi and plan to order more of it as the slices of fish are generous. read more

This might just be the best "college town sushi" in Cincinnati. It's roughly a 10 minute drive from where I go to school making it super convenient. Service is usually pretty quick, but that's contingent on the time. The place can get pretty busy/packed/full on Friday and Saturday nights when the OTR/Banks folks decided sushi is the post-bar move. When that happens and you're looking for a seat?...good luck Charlie. Other than that, come on a weekday, weeknight, etc and you'll be golden. Order: 4x Shrimp Crunch. No other roll comes close to being as good, don't @ me read more
