Good and cheap sushi, the fried rice and soup is great too! Great for takeout or eating in. The service is great and the food comes out fast. read more

The food has honestly gone downhill, the service is normally great but I recently went tonight and it was awful. The server asked us what we want to drink and if we wanted miso soup right off the bat. Fifteen minutes later she comes back to get our order and we still haven't gotten our drinks or miso soup( which was fine because we didn't order food yet). Anyways moving forward, we ordered the fried calamari because we wanted to try something new, chicken fried rice, and two shrimp tempura rolls. I will say Dancing Roll will always have great sushi, but tonight was a disappointment. The fried calamari was $7 and you only get 6 pieces of them. It was the toughest, chewiest, and tasteless calamari I've ever eaten...will not be ordering that again. I also felt like it was so slow and I didn't mind waiting but I wish we got served our soup, salad, and appetizer before our main courses. The ambiance of the place was also different because there wasn't many people there because of the bengals game being on, but there wasn't much noise, it was pretty quiet. It makes me sad to see it go downhill because I really enjoyed this place:( read more

Dancing Roll - Fried Calamari - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

A good experience at the West Chester location. It didn't look promising coming up to it. This is located in a crappy strip mall. It's located next to a terrible Chinese buffet. This is by far the best restaurant. A very good deal is the special for lunch. It's miso, salad, and 2 rolls for $5.99. That's crazy, you can't get a better price for this. It's a very small amount of salad, but it comes with a great spicy mustard dressing. The miso is very good while being simple. Of course, the main attraction is the sushi rolls, which exceeded expectations. The sushi rolls almost always are half off, so you save a lot compared to higher end sushi. I had an avocado roll and a vegetable roll. These aren't high end, as they don't come in a seaweed wrapper. It's still better than Kroger crap. You get it cheaper too. I would come here for sushi before anywhere else. It's cheap yet very good. Very rare you can say that about sushi. read more

Don't be scared away by the semi rundown strip center this restaurant is located in because this is my favorite sushi restaurant in the northern suburbs of Cincinnati. Once you step inside, it is a small tastefully decorated restaurant. They have a wide variety of the typical rolls you would expect to see at a sushi restaurant, as well as a large range of specialty rolls. My favorite specialty roll they offer is the Orange Roll. It is filled with tempura shrimp, BBQ eel, and asparagus, then topped with salmon, eel sauce, and sesame seeds. The asparagus and sesame seeds give a unique crunchy texture that I absolutely love. I'm such a sucker for any sushi roll with eel sauce. If you go during the week take advantage of the happy hour which runs until 6 pm for discounted glasses of beer and wine. Another bonus is the miso soup is included with your meal! read more

Dancing Roll - It isn't always served in it a boat, but I am really excited when it is! - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

Stopped by after church on a Sunday, it is in a very unassuming location. And when you get inside, it feels a bit small. However, all of that went away when we got our Sushi. I had the Spicy Salmon and Spicy Crab rolls. I don't remember what my wife ordered lol It was all DELICIOUS! Plus, right now they have all sushi for half off. So, it was very reasonably priced! We also ordered the teriyaki shrimp, which was amazing as well! We'll definitely be back, as I think we've found our new Sushi spot! read more

Dancing Roll - Miso Soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

They used to have a sashimi combo that was excellent. We didn't mind paying the higher price for the decent sashimi. Then one day the owner decided to slice everything thin...napkin paper thin. He said because the price of fish is too high. We went to the Dancing Roll in Hyde Park and they were much better. We no longer go to the one in West Chester. read more

Great food for great price. It is a weekly dinner stop for us. The happy hour prices on rolls and wine make it an easy choice.

I have been coming to the Dancing Roll for years. I can't believe I haven't checked in here before, sometimes I would forget my head if I didn't have to take it with me. The sushi here is always perfect, the prices are not outrageous either. I normally order 2 or 3 rolls and get the soup (Soup is free with dine in order) as a starter. I have even had other food items on the menu here, but normally it is the rolls I come here for. I have yet to be disappointed from anything I have ever ordered here. This place is not huge, but I have never not gotten a seat. To say I love eating here would be an understatement, when anyone suggests Sushi (Maki for me please) I always come here. It is a weird ad thing, but for years they offer Half Priced Sushi... I am sure it gets people in the door, but I would prefer if they just cut the prices in half and make life easier. read more

Amazing location and the prices are perfect. I won't overpay for sushi, so this place is my go to for all things sushi!

One of the best sushi restaurants in town! They offer both the more basic sushi options and also have an extensive traditional menu. Great service, it's a nice little hole in the wall. read more

Staff was lovely and helpful. Value was excellent but quality matched the price. Very popular with an ok selection. Enjoyed 4/6 of the rolls we tried. read more

New favorite sushi spot, service was super friendly and sushi was delicious! Don't miss out on the happy hour!

Cheap prices, but not cheap sushi. Discounted for takeout which is amazing. Ordering is super easy and the area is nice. I'm not from here but my girlfriend is. So I'm really happy I found a local sushi place that I enjoy. Only one I go to around here. read more

Absolutely horrible!! We ordered hamachi nigiri (yellowtail for you novices), maguro (tuna), and some other roll. Sushi was not fresh nor appropriately chilled. I could tell the sushi was a day or less from going bad!! But that wasn't it...I also ordered the Bulgogi. TRASH!! I had to spit out the first bite of beef because the meat had turned!! That's right, they served me bad meat!! Never, ever come here! read more

Went for a quick lunch and had speedy service. Ordered a few different things to try. Sushi was good. I will have to try other items next time. Staff were wearing masks and tables were socially distancing. Hand sanitizer was also available at the door. Bravo! read more

Love! My favorite sushi place! Always a good experience with good friendly service. Best tasting sushi around

Sushi rolls were smaller compared to other places I've had but don't let that stop you! The rolls are full of flavor and a great price! We got 6 rolls to split and we're very happy and full read more

The sushi was very good and the prices were fantastic. The place was very busy and it's worth stopping in for lunch or dinner.

Amazing - amazing - amazing. I was headed up to the West Chester area Saturday evening and decided to search for a sushi place on yelp and low and behold - found this little gem. And what a northern metro Cinci nugget it is. After being greeted by the very warm/friendly (cute too) Kia, I sat up at the bar and began to ask about the signature rolls. After coming to terms with my standard indecisiveness, i just asked Kia to pick her favorite three rolls. She ended up bringing me the "Playboy", "Calamari" and "Special Lobster" rolls... And they were all excellent. I've eaten a lot of sushi ", Trust me, and this place is an experience not to miss. The service was A++ and the owner even came out and said hello and thanked all the patrons - which as far as I'm concerned, a dying art form for sure. Great to see her take pride in her establishment!! I'm so excited about this place that I'm trying to figure out when I can return for dinner before heading back to NM. I'm so jealous Cincinnati!!! Enjoy! read more

Great sushi choices. Waitress was attentive and just plain nice. Mackerel was fresh as was the rest of the nigiri we ordered. We also had some tempura rolls with cool flavorful sauces. Something for everyone! Needs a bit of a facelift .... read more

Dancing Roll - Yummy fresh and great combinations. Mackerel is yummy! - Sushi Bars Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

This is my favorite Sushi place in the area. The food is amazing and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is always so friendly and it's a cozy environment to enjoy some good sushi in. You need to try their Mochi, it's very good! read more

I've had Dancing Roll many times as a dine-in customer, but with the current state of the world with shelter-in-place & social distancing, this was my first time doing take out. The good news is the take out experience holds up. Dancing Roll always offers half-price sushi, which begs the question why they just don't price everything that way regularly, but so digress... In terms of sushi quality for the cost, I'm not sure Dancing Roll has an equal in the area. It has never failed me or let me down. My teenage daughter, who LOVES sushi, would go here every day if I let her. Tonight, my daughter, my wife, & I ordered 8 different sushi rolls in total. $47 total! The process of ordering was easy, as was pick up. When I arrived, our orders were boxed individually, each with ginger & wasabi, and we were each given a side of soy sauce & chop sticks. Even without plates, everything looked great (see pictures). I personally ordered three rolls: the Yum Yum Roll, the Crunch Roll, & the Volcano Roll. The Yum Yum Roll itself was a tasty, serviceable roll, but could not compare to the greatness and flavor of both the Crunch Roll & Volcano Roll. These two rolls were on a whole different level: flavorful & delicious, with just the right touch of spice. My wife & daughter we're both equally satisfied by their rolls as well. Overall, it was a great dining experience. While I can't wait to dine out once again, in the meantime it is great to know I can get such great sushi in the comfort (& safety) of my own home. read more

I loooove dancing roll! The new location is nice. Pretty spacious! No longer have to worry about the table next to me listening on conversations! atmosphere is pretty chill, with some background music and TV's playing. D.R is a pretty busy place so there is quite some traffic with carry -out orders. Aside from that, food is great! Lots of variety at great pricing. Favorites include : Sunday morning , volcano roll, dynamite, yellowtail and white tuna nigiri ! read more

The best! The lunch special bimimbop (spelling) lunch special is incredible. I get the chicken bimimbop lunch special. I also get a tasty salad and soup with the special. I really like the Korean sauce that comes with the sizzling bowl. I'll admit, the meal is challenging to eat but considering how delicious and cheap the special is, I can't complain. If you love sushi, or Japanese/Korean dishes. This place is a diamond in the rough. It's located in a run down strip mall but goodness looks can be deceiving! read more

Dancing roll has half priced sushi and even paying half priced for their sushi in my opinion would still be too much to pay. I will say that the service was good and our server gave us complimentary miso soup which was good and warm on a cold day. To start I ordered the gyoza. They were hot and I loved the dipping sauce it came with. Up next, was a shrimp tempura roll. When it came out it was very underwhelming. The roll was so small, had minimal fillings, and as little rice on the outside as possible. The taste was there but that's about it. My husband and I split the bengals roll. Which was better than the tempura roll and had more filling and rice. The service was good but the food left a little something to be desired. read more

Great food and great service every time! I spent time in Korea and especially enjoy their Bimbop bowl

So good worth it! I love this place! I'm going to come here again soon, favorite sushi place ever

Oh my goodness I ate so much I probably look like a sumo wrestler now. Everything here is so unique tasting, right down to the home made ginger salad dressing. I've had seaweed salad before just to eat something good for me, but let me tell ya what folks, this is down right yummy. I can't skip the miso soup that is so good. I feel the love you put into it Dancing Roll. Ladies, you may want to wear your stretchy waste band pants here because because there are a lot of good eats available on this huge menu. TIP: Lunch menu options end at 2:00. Items ate still on the dinner menu, but the price is higher. read more

For the money we haven't found better sushi in the Cincinnati metro area. I have had better but only when paying a significant premium. It's truly solid. Kimchi jigae (soup) and kimchi rolls were delightful and I can't even weigh in on other rolls accurately because I've had so many. Mine I choose have a tendency to be quite good whereas my wife's eye for the menu finds the greater ones. Varying tastes for varying palettes. Truly, it's worth the visit. read more

Been coming here for 7 years and it always slaps. They never mess up to-go and dine in service is always great. 10/10 :)

Second time ever going to a sushi restaurant, I'll have to come back here again!! The exterior is pretty underwhelming (it's in a shopping plaza with some other businesses, the one next door went out of business), but don't let that keep you from going inside. The interior is pretty small as far as seating, but they use the space well. The service was good, we waited on our soup until after we got our sushi, but apparently they didn't have any spoons cleaned and they apologized. As I said earlier, I'm no sushi connoisseur, but out of the 6 rolls we got I could not pick a favorite! They were all so good. And the best part is it's always happy hour prices! Can't beat cheap sushi that's still delicious! read more

I have always loved this sushi joint. It's cheap and tends to be a great environment. It became a tradition with my dad and with friends. We came here before a dance to get dinner with a friend allergic to fish. She brought in Chick-fil-A since she was unable to get food and was immediately yelled at by a worker. He was extremely disrespectful and kicked her completely out of the restaurant. We then asked for our sushi to go so we could eat with our friend. We had gotten drinks at this point and wanted to wait on our sushi in peace. A worker then came over and told us we have to leave the table!! While I understand it is a Friday night and they are busy, we are paying customers and treated them with nothing but respect. I am absolutely disgusted and will no longer be coming here with my friends or family. Update: still left a tip despite the treatment I received. I hope for better for the company. Also spent ten minutes looking for a sign stating the rule against outside food. Found nothing! If a company is going to treat its customers like that, maybe have some indicator of it. read more

We LOVE dancing roll! Beat sushi around and quality is great especially considering the price. I love there new location. It looks much cleaner and up to date. That was my only issue with the previous location. Can't beat the lunch special. read more

I come here usually once a week. The prices are incredible. Lunch is best because you can get miso soup, side salad, and 2 rolls for a few bucks! The quality of fish is hit or miss, but usually decent. The restaurant is very small and fills up quickly, but the ambience is nice and service is good if they aren't too busy. Also they have the best Spicy Korean Ramen for $5 or $7, I can't remember. Would return. read more

Wow! This food is clean and tasty! I got the fried rice that had fresh vegetables and almost like lemon zest in the rice. It was served with oranges on the side to cleanse your palate. It was unlike other food because it wasn't super greasy. I did not feel like I ate a lot of food after but instead felt full and energized. It was clean food well prepared. I went on a Monday and got half price rolls as well. I ate the sweet potato roll that was well worth the 2.75! The decor inside was very quaint and I enjoyed the surroundings. We got there around 5:30 and it was just in time as the tables quickly filled up! We had a great waiter that was attentive and knew the menu! I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend trying this! read more

Very nice, clean, small place. Upbeat feeling. I had the Pink Sky Roll. I will be back for that again! They also offer a large house salad (traditional ginger dressing salad) which I love! Many dont offer a large version of that salad. I also had Tuna Tataki. It was average. The price is a bit high for that dish. Overall I'll be back!! read more

Tried dancing roll for the first time and I loved it. I have been looking for a good sushi place since my old favorite one closed down. Dancing roll has really good sushi! And super affordable! Half price sushi for the normal rolls! Can't beat half price! Tasted like high quality sushi but low price. The miso soup was really yummy too! The ginger salad was also good. The guy we had waiting on us was SUPER nice and went out his way trying to make us happy and pleased. Definitely will be back. read more

I was on the fence about this place until the last time I was a patron. Most of the wait staff is nice enough. But the turnover happens so often that the service ends-up being horrible. I'm guessing they only hire friends because you can see the staff just standing there and talking, most of the time you're there. There too many tables for such a tiny hole in the wall. You bump into anyone if there's are more than 5 tables with people sitting at them. It's not the super cleanest places. The restroom is near the very cluttered kitchen. Now for the reason I'm writing this. I will never go back to this place because of how I was treated. I had inquired about their deal they have on Yelp and the waitress I was speaking to, had no idea and told me "no", instead of even trying to "check" on it for me. She then asked another waitress about the deal and she also said no. I continued to mention that they should honor their deal that is advertised and she said the owner told her they wouldn't. Because they can't even handle their own yelp account and change things themselves. Whatever. I had people waiting for their food. So I just finished my order and waited the extra time they put on my order. I've always been told 15-20 minutes when ordering. But this time I was told 30-45 minutes. When I opened the containers, every single piece of food was about half the normal size. I could not believe what I was seeing. I had never gotten sushi so small. Everyone was disappointed at my suggestion for cheap sushi. I ended-up having to go out and getting fast food after everyone ate. One good thing that came from it was I discovered how awesome the place next door is. read more
