The first impression you get when entering the restaurant is - why is rap music playing in an Asian restaurant? The location has a definite industrial feel with graffiti on the walls - the young lady at the counter was very friendly and asked if this was my first visit - she made me feel very welcome - I ordered the spicy pork belly miso ramen - I was amazed at the amount of pork belly and vegetables in the dish - the miso ramen was so delicious! My lunch guest had the Tofu miso ramen - it was incredible too! I liked it that you can add extra spice and vegetables - the pan fried appetizer was great - they offer five or ten dumplings - here's a hint - you'll want to get ten! So many offerings on the menu - I will be making a few more trips to try them out! read more

Dope was super good! Very cool art on the walls and fun soundtrack. Both servers who helped us were very nice. The dumplings were the star of the show, and I want to try the buns next time. Ramen was good but I would make an entire meal out of the dumplings. Tofu was cooked really well. read more

This Dope location seems to fly under the radar on its side of town, and I'm not really sure why: Its menu has good pan-Asian variety and is somewhat unique to the area, the kitchen executes most all of it quite competently, and it's reasonably priced. Given that I'm old, maybe I'm a sucker for the old-school hip-hop motifs and music Dope leans on, and maybe the Hyde Parkers who live in the neighboring blocks find that very aspect of the restaurant a turn-off. Anyway, Dope's dining area is often surprisingly empty, even if it appears to do okay carry-out and delivery service. Your loss, Hyde Park folks, because Dope is a credit to the neighborhood. Ramens here are robust and usually loaded with meat (check out the pork-belly one especially); the banh mi sandwiches may not be the best and most authentic you've had, but they still among the better sandwiches over on this side town and they are a dining steal around here; and when the kitchen is on, the dumplings can be some of the best in town. As with just about any pan-Asian place, some of the menu items might seem off a hair or two from what you've had in dedicated Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese restaurants, but the kitchen knows how to both ramp up and balance flavors. Sometimes the food isn't the most consistent (we once had dumplings come out cold), and sometimes the service isn't the most attentive. Anyway, Dope is more or less slammin', phat, def, and all the other good ones. read more

First visit to Dope. We went particularly to try the Bao Buns. The greeting was friendly enough. We decided what we wanted to order only to be told they were out of Bao buns. This was at about 5:30-6 on a Friday night. After analyzing the menu again, we ordered and sat down to wait for our food. Our food was hot and came quickly (there were only two other couples so it wasn't busy). We had spring rolls, egg roll and wings to start. All very good. However, even before we got our food, gnats were swarming our table. By the time our meals came (bahn mi and a bowl), they were so unbearable we didn't even finish our meals as they kept landing on our food. WeWe mentioned it to the staff and they kind of just said "yeah" and brushed it off. We left 1/2 our meals and walked out. Definitely not the experience you want after spending $50+ on a meal. We likely won't return and will never know if they have good Bao Buns. read more

Love the build your own ramen option, so delicious. The veggie broth was very flavorful. I added chicken dumplings and it was a nice contrast. This location has lots of Asian snacks that you can purchase as well. read more

Dope has an awesome atmosphere, great vibes, and some awesome decor. The staff was extra friendly, hospitable, and were going out of their way for the folks that were waiting and asking questions. Sadly, the food doesn't live up to the atmosphere or the staff. We found everything to be lackluster, at best. I think the best flavor may have been the Korean Beef BBQ, but that's 'best' (in quotes) because it's still not great. I would 100% skip the dumplings and the boba teas, the boba was very chewy and the tea was all sugar (even with a reduced sugar order). The dumplings were meh and the sauce was directly from a jar. read more

Dope in Hyde Park lives up to its name. Bold flavors, laid-back vibe, and plenty of space to settle in for a working lunch or a casual catch-up. I've been visiting the OTR location for years, but I finally had the pleasure of chatting with Kam, the owner, who pours real heart into every bowl of ramen, every dumpling, and that fiery chili oil that takes each bite to the next level. Dope delivers on flavor and atmosphere without ever feeling pretentious. It's the kind of place that reminds you how a good meal can spark genuine conversation--and maybe even a few new ideas. read more

Hubby and I came here to get take out and were pleasantly surprised! The lemongrass chicken bao bun and the char sui bao bun were delicious! A good amount of protein and nice and saucy. Amazing flavor! The dope wings were packed with flavor, not super spicy and a good quantity for the price. We did try the chicken karaage rice bowl as well which was good. Great amount of chicken, toppings and sauce to rice ratio but not my most favorite item. Take out was great - items tasted fresh and were packed well. I'm excited to come back and try other items on the menu! read more

My husband and I came here between lunch and dinner. We shared a whole bunch of stuff including takoyaki, gyoza, Korean BBQ wings, How Fun noodles, and some boba tea. Here's my honest review. The takoyaki had great presentation but it was very mushy on the inside. I've had much better at other places. Gyoza was pretty good for the most part! The Korean BBQ wings for the price were a bit of a letdown. Just not the most flavorful but again they have great presentation. The noodles themselves were actually pretty good for the most part. They were very flavorful and good presentation for the most part. You are paying a lot for them though. And even though we got it pretty spicy, it did not have enough kick. I feel like most of the things that we got had just overall awesome presentation but were a bit of a letdown when it came to the flavor. It's really too bad because this is more of a local place for us. Whenever we want all of these same food items, we can get them better flavor and probably a bit cheaper at Kung food but we have to drive all the way to Covington. Boba tea was actually probably the best out of everything! The tapioca pearls were a good middle ground between not two chewy but not too rubbery. Very flavorful and they hit the spot! There's nothing here that isn't better somewhere else but that doesn't mean this is a bad restaurant. read more

Good food Love going here for lunch. Been here a few times for lunch and a couple of times for dinner. Everything we tried was good. Their garlic aioli sauce is great and I always buy the bottle to use at home. Wish the service was better. Feels like a semi self serve place. read more

If you are craving a terrific bao bun, you have gotta give this place a shot! I tried the pork and shrimp dumplings in chili oil, the char siu bao bun, the crispy tofu bao and the crispy tofu Bahn mi. All were so flavorful and the bao was just right the tofu texture was on point! Great music and ambiance and they do have a dedicated parking lot, which makes things so much easier. I also had to treat myself to a thai tea with Boba which was so refreshing on a summer day. The service was very friendly and really explained the options, and the food came out very quickly. If you are in the Hyde Park area, or even if you aren't, you gotta make the time to check this place out! read more

Ordered takeout from here and my goodness were we surprised! They were super quick to get out our order when we arrived to us. The only downside is there isn't much parking. I had the Pork and Shrimp Wonton Shoyu which has a depth a flavor I couldn't imagine was possible in a ramen dish. The broth was excellent and pork was tasty and tender. My wife got the Char Siu Miso Ramen which was also incredibly delicious. The shining star of the meal however for me was the offhand last second decision to get the Bulgogi Beef Chinese Hamburger. This is top 3 for burgers I've had in my entire life. The burger was cooked perfectly and was just about the most delicious burger I've ever had the pleasure of eating. For all being takeout, this place is an absolute must! Incredible food for a great price and everything reminded nice and hot until we got home to eat. Highly recommended! read more

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!! Was in town and rolled the dice on this spot. The worst thing about this place is the gravel parking lot. When you walk in you're greeted to a wonderful mix of 'dope' 90's rap (all edited and family friendly). Hard not to get excited for what comes next. We had ramen bowls and some Bao Buns. I also had the Thai iced tea. Lemme start with the tea. Wonderful. Thinking about getting one for the road. It's almost like a drinkable cream-cicle. YES, like the ones from childhood. The boa buns were a great surprise. We had the Tofu Bao and Char Siu Bao. Very good, we did them as apps, but you could make a meal out of them. We did the Lemongrass Chicken ramen and the pork belly ramen. I inhaled the pork belly but to be honest want to try the char skywatcher having the boa bun. I strongly recommend this place for a snack, lunch, or dinner. I'm a big fan from my first encounter. read more

the food is good, and so is the service, my only complaint is that the Bao Bun for $5 may have a piece of pork that fix the bun and then there are times when the pork isn't even 1 bit with the whole bun left. I will go back but I suggest everyone check their orders before leaving i keep missing something when i don't check before leaving read more

Roach in my ramen! I hate that I have to write this review. I've ordered from here for years. I've never had a problem up until tonight. I was almost done with my ramen when I noticed a ROACH floating in my ramen broth. I attempted to call the restaurant with no answer. DoorDash gave me my money back. But obviously it's still upsetting and gross. read more

Went there for Asian Cuisine Week! All items are $10 each. We ordered a Korean BBQ wings with rice, bao flight, Tonkotsu Ramen. The portion is huge. The food came out fast too! Korean BBQ Wings with Rice (4/5) - they come with 6 wings with rice. Love the seasoning! It is garnished with green onions and sesame seeds! Bao flight (4/5) - we ordered lemongrass chicken, Cha Siu pork and beef. - The lemongrass chicken is very special and taste amazing, can slightly taste the lemongrass and it fit well with the bao. - Cha siu pork is alright. The Cha siu is not the traditional Cha siu. It's more like a pull pork. - beef is decent. Nothing special. The seasoning taste good. Tonkotsu Ramen (2.5/5) - Ingredients: Pork marrow broth, pork belly, enoki mushroom, soft-boiled egg, bok choy and green onion - the ramen is little disappointed. Not sure if it's because of Asian Cuisine Week and they pre-prep the food. Feel like the ramen noodle is sit in the soup for a while and it stick together and super soft... would give another try next time when it's normal time. read more

We came here during Asian cuisine week because it seems as though this establishment had the most variety of selections to pick from. The name of this place is pretty unique I'd have to say lol. Anywho, we arrived - order up front and the cashier was super friendly and gave us some recommendations. I already knew what I was going to order because I looked at the menu beforehand per unusual lol... I ordered three baos (beef, char sui, and Korean bbq) and the salmon poke bowl. My husband ordered The pork belly rice bowl. The three baos were very good and all had distinct different flavors. I really enjoyed these and would definitely order them again. I really enjoyed my poke bowl, they definitely put a lot of sauce on the bowl and I'm a sauce type of gal lol. The only con that I can think of is that I had ordered it spicy and it was not spicy at all. I don't know if it's just my spice tolerance lol. My husband enjoyed his pork belly but his only complaint was that it was too much sauce for him. Knowing that they like to give a lot of sauce he'll probably order sauce on the side going forward. Other than that it was a really good experience and the portions were fairly large. We'll definitely come back here and try the other items! read more

Dope has a chill atmosphere with colorful murals and hip hop playing over the speakers. The fast casual atmosphere is a nice vibe and the menu has a nice selection. The veggie dumplings were nice and crispy and paired decently with the dope sauce. The tofu rice bowl had nice spicy tofu pieces, but the rest of the bowl was pretty bland. The veggie ramen also had the same good tofu and some satisfying veggies. And while the broth was pretty good, the noodles and overall flavors were just ok. Dope scratched the itch for us wanting Asian style noodles/rice, but was not an overall memorable meal. read more

The chilly weather just called for some Ramen, so my friend and I headed right here. Fortunately, this place does have some parking and we didn't have to wander looking for one. Once inside, we placed our orders. We got the Veggie Ramen, tofu bao and the Vietnamese cold coffee (I wish they served a hot version of this). The coffee was good. I've had better ones, but this one was pretty good too. The Ramen and the Bao, these were just alright. The broth was kimchi based, and I loved the vegetable options. However, it wasn't amazing. The Bao was just about average and needed some serious flavor. It just tasted okay. Also would love to see a few more vegetarian options. The service was really good. The interiors are cozy and perfect for a weekend comfort food session. read more

Lots of options on the menu to appeal to all. I thought the decor was cute and I saw that they offer trivia on Thursday's which may be fun to attend. Me and my boyfriend got a Tofu Bao Bun, Ramen, Dumplings, and a Salmon Poke bowl All items were relatively good, just Ramen and Bao buns are favorite foods of ours and frankly we've just had better. Not saying this wasn't good, just our expectations are really high. Great service though, quick and a overall great trip. Heads up- ordering is before you sit at the counter inside and then they bring it out to you! read more

We were fairly excited to eat here for the first time! We decided to eat outside and the space was a good size (around 4-5 tables) We got kimchi broth ramen and a salmon poke bowl along with a tofu bao bun and chicken dumplings. The ramen and poke were just slightly above average.. (i think i just have really high standards for asian food) We were expecting very fresh fish like the kind that melts in your mouth, but it tasted kind of like the kroger grab-n-go salmon sushi. The vegetables were good and the rice was fine but i wish there was a sauce that paired with it. Overall worth the try for sure! read more

Love their authentic pork and shrimp wonton noodle soup. The flavors remind me of my parent's cooking. They have a downtown location on court street but this stand alone place offers more food items. They have their own parking lot on the side of the building which is very convenient. The dining room is filled with colorful artwork and the staff is so kind to accommodate my request by not making the food too spicy. Can't wait to come back and try other items on their menu! read more

I grabbed two entrees here when it was single digits and thought this sounds perfect. Evidently do did everyone else in the city. I called and it rang and rang and I couldn't get the order through so I just drove and placed at the counter. Staff and vibe were super cool, offering me space and a drink to sit and wait, food would be out pretty quick.It was a little longer than their estimate, but considering the volume they were doing no worries. Got home and both dishes looked and smelled incredible. The chicken karrage rice was actually not nearly as good as it looked because, despite a crispy fry, I don't think the chicken itself had any flavor, it was very bland. Good crunch, and the sauce was good, but that's about it. The ramen though was freaking DOPE. Great broth, large serving of meat and a perfect runny egg. Eager to return, no matter the weather. read more

Finally got to try Dope! Asian Food Week was the perfect time since they had a great special going on! My husband and I got: pork dumplings with soy vinegarette Dope! wings karaage chicken bowl pork belly ramen Dumplings were crispy and perfect. Wings were good, but VERY spicy . I recommend wiping some of the pepper flakes off if you don't have a high heat tolerance. I was able to eat them once I did. The karaage chicken bowl was . The ramen was so yummy (especially that seared pork belly) and a perfect warm treat on a cold day. I recommend dumping in a container of their soy sauce. It's different than what you find in a bottle on a table. Just trust me. Restaurant vine is really cool and the staff are super nice. read more

You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Everything we ordered was tasty! Started with Okonomiyaki (plenty enough for 3-4 people) and Char Siu Pork Bun (this was small), bun was soft and filling was fresh. Lemongrass Chicken Rice Bowl was delightfully seasoned and flavored topped with fresh veggies , BYO Ramen and Shrimp and Pork Wonton Ramen were also delish and the broth was grreat and servings were big. Parking is limited though, but would def come back and try other stuff on the menu. Happy tummy! read more

First of all I have to thank the staff at Dope Asian Street Fare for being so helpful & patient during my first visit! Their menu has an awesome selection with a lot of variety. It was hard not ordering one of everything! The staff answered all of my questions and gave the most perfect suggestions. I visited with my daughter during Asian cuisine week so we took advantage of the specials & ordered a little bit of everything! Every dish was so flavorful & delicious and the portions were generous! We ordered...Pork Belly Miso Ramen , Bao Flight (3 buns: Lemongrass Chicken, Char Siu Pork, & Beef), Korean BBQ Wings + Rice My favorites were the Korean BBQ wings & Char Siu Pork Bao Bun. My daughter loved the ramen! I worried that adding the spice level to the ramen upon ordering, would make it too spicy for my daughter (I enjoy lots of spice), so they suggested putting the chili oil (spice) on the side to control the heat. This was a perfect option!! They provided us with an extra bowl to share, and add our preferred spice level, and in the end, my daughter loved some extra spice! Since we ordered so much for the two of us, they gave us to-go containers and a fresh side of chili oil (so thoughtful). I can't wait to eat here again! read more

This was one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. The meat in the char siu bao was dry and chewy and the outside bao was too soft and soggy. The pad see ew and ramen were both waaaaaay too salty. I couldn't even eat them. The pad Thai tasted horrible; it was not edible. It was the worst pad Thai I have ever tasted in my life. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, which should have been a big indicator of the quality. This restaurant is NOT a good place to go eat true Asian street foods. read more

Quick, casual, asian "street" food. Okay quality but not worth the price. | Price $32 (discounted) | Rating 6/10 *We got dinner during Asian Cuisine Week so prices were lower than normal.* We stopped in on a Tuesday night and orders three dishes for me and my GF to split for dinner. I had heard of this place but wasn't sold on the concept. Since prices were lower we tried it out. The inside was trendy in a manufactured way, "graffiti" on the walls and nice colors but they didn't impress me. You order up front and get a number which I enjoy and the food came out quickly along with water being topped off even as we didn't have a set waiter. Staff was great and enjoyed them. The food was meh. Not bad. Not good. The ramen was the worst, besides the egg it was average overall including flavors. The noodles were stuck together like they weren't stirred after the brick was boiled and the whole thing was lukewarm. The Korean Wings were also lukewarm and just okay. An okay sauce, on a good crunch wing. The Baos were the best part with some interesting flavors which I wish were bolder. If you get anything I recommend these. Overall I wouldn't come back, there is much better asian food and better fusion to be had at other places in the city especially at their standard prices. read more

I want to start by saying the service is great. The woman who helped us was incredibly kind and resourceful. She was very sweet. But the menu is overpriced. There are other options around Cincinnati where you can get the same amount of food, if not more, for better quality and cheaper price. And everything we ordered was simply... okay. We liked the spring rolls, but the sauce was overpowering. The pad Thai was fine. The ramen was fine. But it was overpriced. I don't feel like I can comment on the ambiance, as we went at like 3pm when it was pretty empty. The music was good and I liked the decorations. It is possible we got the "wrong items", but in my opinion, the food for this price just isn't worth it. Especially when other options around Cincinnati can offer lower prices. read more

This place is Dope for sure! Great menu offerings. It made it hard to choose so I got a lot to try. I did 2 bao buns, a sandwich, and an egg roll. All pictured below and all delicious. The highlight was all the sauces! They are the sauce bosses here. I also enjoyed the music being played. Lots of 90s hip hop. They have a great happy hour deal I will be taking advantage of next time. They even have their own parking lot!!! The worker, Charolette, was super helpful and kind. I enjoyed talking to her for a bit since I came alone at a slower time. There was another blonde gal working too who was helpful but I didn't catch her name. She made a mean dope-Rita though. Will for sure return with my husband in the future to try more and share a great spot. *Added last 3 food pics 9/1* read more

Love this place! I was debating on which location I wanted to check out, and ended up going to the one in Hyde park. The service was extremely a awesome! It was my first time going there so I did not know how it worked but the guy at the counter was super understanding and explained it. He offer us to sit and then come back and order, and in the meantime he brought us water. So if this is your fist time, hopefully you do read the reviews because it was explained that you come in place your order, they give you a number and bring the food. The only thing I'm not a big fan is having to tip beforehand. However, the welcoming assured the tip. We ordered the Singah beer, and green tea to drink. And to eat we had the Kimchi, the veggie Ramen and Lemongrass chicken bowl. We ordered both entrees with the hot oil on the side. Every single bite was amazing, and very tasty. I loved the Veggie Ramen and the Kimchi the most, I could literally eat the Kimchi from there everyday. The food is for sure worth the price. The service was outstanding what you would consider above and beyond. Lastly, the place itself is spacious and clean, they have outside and inside sitting. Worth checking it out! read more
