Ventured here last evening after our typical sushi place in OTR closed for holiday. So glad it was closed, Maki Mono didn't disappoint. Reviews I read ahead were on point. Fresh, high quality food. We embarked on 3 orders of ahi tuna, they customized a cucumber roll filled with 4 types of fish, and customized my husband's 3 taco roll. For $120 we left full and will gladly return. Service was fast, prompt. read more

Oh my goodness - our server Jillian was AWESOME!!! For the record, I love sushi and Ed does not like it at all! We started with the crab Rangoon. Please do not miss out on this - delish!!! We also had the chicken wings. They were "ok". Jillian recommend the fried rice with a protein for Ed. He loved it. I had an aloha roll and a four fish spicy roll. Yum and yum. Truly enjoyed our visit here! read more

Seriously amazing sushi. Small but cozy atmosphere. Cathie roll was my favorite but the spiderman was also really amazing! Can't wait to try something new when I go back. Wish they had a couple lobster rolls or like some mussels or grilled squid as an appetizer I'm really obsessed with exotic seafood The place was clean and inviting and the Hispanic gentleman who served us was very polite and kind. Gotta check this hot new spot out! read more

Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Enjoy coming here for lunch occasionally. The futomaki roll and chicken katsu are both tasty.

Terrific staff. So friendly. And, I've never see such a nice selection of Sake around town. Authentic, wooden, Japanese box cups, hot sake with traditional cups. Just really great atmosphere and selection. The sushi is fresh and prepared wonderfully. We will definitely be back. read more

New ownership, new kitchen staff, new menu. If you've tried it before, then you have to give it a second chance. The quality in food is light years beyond what it was before. Good vibes, good food and friendly staff read more

Unique sushi offerings. Very attentive and friendly staff. Would recommend a try. I got the white stripper and veggie tempura. Very good.

Delicious and lovely service. The app portions were very small, but the roll and kids menu items were priced well

Sushi was great. Lots of options and reasonably priced. Service was quick, restaurant is very clean and welcoming ! Definitely worth checking out when in Covington! read more

might be the single worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. Server told us. they were under new management and it obviously shows. The service is the reason I would not recommend anyone ever come to this place. read more

I am always looking for a good sushi place and this one did not disappoint!!! We walked over there for lunch and it wasn't very crowded. We were seated right away in a window booth. We ordered the Crab Rangoons, spring rolls, and the Dazzling Girl sushi roll. The presentation was good and the food was delicious. The server was wonderful. She was sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. We ended up getting more rolls to go to bring back to the office for others to enjoy. We'll be back! read more

Maki Mono in Covington is absolutely an amazing find. I'm in the Cincinnati area for a few months for work and I can't believe how good is Japanese restaurant is in Kentucky. The owner and staff recognized me after my second visit and now every time that I pick up takeout, they greet me and talk to me while I'm there. The service is second to none with a nice feel now as for the food, a chicken Katsu is perhaps one of the best I've had in the entire country. It is breaded perfectly fried perfectly served on a bed of cooked veggies, this dish is fire!! traveling a lot for work. It's really hard to eat healthy so when I find a place like this that I like I stick to it that way I can get a little bit of healthy food with me. read more

Love this place! Amazing sushi, entrees and great service every time. We're so happy to have it on Madison.

Some of my favorite sushi in the area, always fresh and they have some pretty innovative rolls. The staff is super friendly as well.

Ordered through GrubHub and it was excellent. Tried combo of rolls and cooked food. Can't wait to try in person.

This is hands down the best sushi and ramen in Covington!! The ambiance is great and the servers are super nice.

Great sushi selection! Well priced and a clean appearance. Good staff and a reasonable sake list. Some decent wines by the glass and the typical Japanese beer offerings. read more

we waited over an hour to get sushi, the service was good for the first 20 minutes, they told us they were short staffed. after 90 minutes we still had not received our food and tables who came in after us got their food and left before we got our food read more

Love this place ! Mine and my boyfriends go-to place to eat. The owner and staff are always extremely nice and always remember us ! Never had a problem here and food is delicious. Best sushi around no doubt. read more

We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and were the only ones in there but that's not a problem for me because we got great service! I apologize for not remember our servers name but she was very polite and attentive! I had a couple questions about the chef sauce on the Maki Mono roll and it was explained in detail about what ingredients were used! I ended up getting the sauce on the side but honestly wish I would've gotten it on the roll like intended (now I know for next time). What a great sushi roll though!!!! We were very hungry so we got 2 salads, pork pan fried dumplings and 2 sushi rolls each (more than enough food lol). Only reason I'm giving 4 stars (wish it could be 4.5) is because the dumplings were sub par but I'm a dumpling snob and eat them EVERYWHERE we go. Everything was made in a timely manner and overall it was a great experience for us and we will definitely be back!! read more

Very good! casual atmosphere, sushi great and service fast and friendly. Especially liked the volcano roll.

The sushi had a terrible terrible after taste. Would not order again, sad to have spent the money.
