Came in for lunch and ordered the sashimi, seaweed salad and a spicy tuna hand roll. The sashimi was huge for a lunch portion with well over the stated q5 pieces on the menu and each cut was also quite large. The selections were all good with the exception of the tamago (egg) which was not prepared properly and just seemed to be a solid egg omelet instead of folded layers. The seaweed salad was your standard premade fare and the spicy tuna was just okay as it was over-sauced and you really couldn't taste the tuna. Service was not very good and never asked if I wanted anything to drink, instead bringing me water when the salad came out. read more

Well well well, Cincinatti, your sushi game is ON POINT! I needed to fulfill a sushi craving during a brief trip, Mr. Sushi came up on Yelp because it was a block from my hotel, so off I went. 50% off if you dine-in, 20% off if you take-out. FRESH, DELICIOUS, AMAZING. I got the seafood salad appetizer which was PACKED PACKED PACKED with fresh sashimi and shrimp, the spicy tuna over crispy rice (totally bomb), and a few pieces of sashimi. $37 later and I was filled to the gills, pun intended. The service is great too. I walked in to do a carry out order and the employees were really friendly and attentive, not to mention my food was ready in less than 10 minutes. read more

Have been going here for a while and for a good reason! The interior of the place is very clean. It's not a huge place but offers a generous amount of seating. There is an outside patio as well. The staff have always been nothing but friendly towards me! Our waitress, Ina, made our experience even better! She was really helpful with the menu & chose us some of her favorite sushi rolls. They also offer half priced sushi from 4 pm - close every day of the week! We ordered the Godzilla & Alaskan roll with the dumpling soup. Everything was delicious as always! Will be back next time I'm in town! read more

Really good sushi and great quality too! I ate in for lunch, they have the tables well spaced out and you're not near anyone. I did the gyoza and then a random mix of nigiri (tuna, eel, and shrimp). All the food was really great quality and fresh. I also had the hot sake and some steamed rice with yum yum sauce and their yum yum sauce is probably the best I've had. Definitely will be back and highly recommend! Staff is very friendly! read more

One of my favorite spots to eat sushi. Great selection and the Sunday morning is to die for!! read more

All the food is amazing and the waiters are very nice

First off, this place was empty. Nothing is fresh, the sushi was honestly very dry and smelly. The tamagoyaki was dry and hard slivers instead of the normal thick 'fillet'. I didn't finish it. Wont be coming back. Waiter seemed like a robot and didnt listen to us questioning how fresh the food was. read more

Came here for a quick dinner since I was craving some sushi. I had low expectations so I was pleasantly surprised. You walk in and it's nothing fancy but the service is friendly and warm. The roll menu is a bit overwhelming so I opted to just get sushi/sashimi pieces which were 1/2 off after a certain hour. Overall, it was pretty good for the 1/2 price. I don't think I would have paid full price for it. The rolls are more americanized so if you're looking for an authentic sushi experience, look elsewhere. read more

Great sushi . Nice atmosphere and good service most of the time . I love their salads and miso soup . I have tried other things on their menu and have yet to be disappointed. As far as the drinks ;I've had hit and miss . Guess it depends on the bartender! read more

The food is great. The workers are pretty quick and kind and the place always looks great.

Ok, my husband and I have a little different view of this restaurant. He would have dropped the stars to four. However, he isn't reviewing so I get to decide. . What a great place! It's in such a great location downtown, was easy to get to and really gives patrons a cool urban experience. The restaurant is very clean and the decor is #trending. Now, onto the food! The prices were fantastic. I'm sorry but they can't be beat! Especially on a Friday night. The drinks were crazy expensive but we ordered four colossal rolls for $33 and were a stuffed party of 3! I should mention that this place has a full bar and the drinks were pretty fantastic. I would drive an hour to Cincinnati just to eat here again! Now, for the best part. There is a waiter here that looks just like Evan Peters. You may not know who that is but I'm kind of obsessed with this phenomenal actor and could not believe the uncanny resemblance. And, he was very sweet and gracious when we told him he reminded us of one of my favorite actors. For me, it really topped off the experience. My husband didn't like the prices of the drinks and this is why he would have dropped the rating a star. I told him we should have done pre-drinking before we went out (took Uber) but he didn't listen. Bet he will next time. read more

Pork katsu was tough and like warm. Rice was stale. Sushi in bento box looks premade.service was good but food was mediocre and for $53 for 2 bento box, 3 rolls and 2 green tea, a bit overpriced for the quality. I've had better Japanese in a mall. read more

I have never had service this bad or left a yelp review or any review EVER but this experience genuinely left me speechless. Sammie was the worst server ever and I would never consider name dropping but the level or rudeness, dishonesty, and disrespect. We waited around 20 minutes for our two soft drinks and was treated with a rude tone from the start. She placed three unordered items on our tab then tried to blame this incident on us stating "well since we have them someone is going to pay and it's going on the table." After we stated these were not ours she stormed off then returned saying "Here's a lesson, do not hand in order cards if you do not want the items." We did not order any of the items and she would not double check the order card to confirm once again that we did not order these items. We did not eat the unordered items and offered for them to be returned multiple times. These unordered items were placed on our bill despite this. We were so humiliated we signaled for the manager. The manager talked with our server, Sammie and she produces a new bill that is even more messed up. She charged my friend who snitched $120 dollars for a tab that was suppose to be $30. She added new additional items to my other friends tabs and scrambled the items between the two tabs despite us writing the itemized items per person on the receipt to help her out. She stated that people "do just not understand hospitality in this age" and did not apologize once even in the presence of her manager who was extremely nice and apologetic. She refused to apologize or take personal responsibility stating that she did not place the additional charges on our tab (blaming every external factor, not her error) and stated that because of us she "will be out of a job tomorrow." The food was a 10/10 and the service is usually pleasant, however Sammie made this experience unpleasant and made us feel unwelcomed. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. The sushi rolls are average quality. Nothing spectacular when it comes to taste. The rolls are larger than an average roll. The price is reasonable. If you dine in you get 1/2 off. When it comes to customer service this restaurant gets a -C. I had to ask for my waiter multiple times before he actually came to my table. The waiter then proceeded to walk around with my credit card for 10 minutes before returning back to my table. I felt this was strange, since I was sitting right next to the cash register. read more

we came to see the aquarium from indianapolis, on valentines weekend. Forgot to do dinner reservations. After trying a few different places around the city we landed here. The staff is super respectful and cheerful and put up with all our questions without rebuke. The sushi was amazing! We had the Godzilla, Crunch Munch, the samurai, and the Monroe roll. Plus habachi. This will be our go to place when we come back. read more

Good sushi for cheap! It's half off for rolls after 4pm (dine-in only). Went on a Sunday night. Seated immediately. Our server was very nice. I wanted the Mango Tango roll but did not want it deep fried. They were very accommodating with my request! It came out great. read more

Besides the food, what's especially great is the service. I took customers here for lunch and we were promptly seated. Courtney was our waitress and provided great advice, kept our drinks filled and was very quick bringing our food. I ordered the Yakisoba with Shrimp while my customers ordered the Bento boxes---- one was Pork Katsu and the other Spicy Chicken. The food was very tasty, not too salty, and plenty to leave you totally satiated. Prices are also very reasonable. read more

My first experience here was very average.... the sushi is decent but not spectacular. However I gave them another shot recently and ordered steak hibachi. Not only did I pay 20 dollars for it.... the meat was dry, hard and hardly warm. The miso soup was far too salty and the salad was more dressing than salad. ( I did not have this experience the first time I went so it may be out of the normal) If you're going just for sushi, I would say you're probably okay but I would be hesitant with the rest of the menu. Tip: Sushi is always half price if you dine in! read more

Great food and value for the price. When you are craving sushi downtown I suggest Mr. Sushi for the quality and because you can usually just walk in and be seated. They always have half priced sushi and unlike other sushi restaurants that have 1/2 priced, this place isn't skimping on the size of the rolls. They have a tons of sushi and are quick in getting your orders in. This is the only place where I get a whole bowl of spicy mayo sauce when I ask for it on the side. (I loveeeee my spicy mayo on everything!) The staff is always friendly and accommodating. We've always gotten served quickly and get checked in on once the food arrives a handful of times. This place is smaller and even a good date-night spot since you can easily see and hear each other. When you don't want to wait hours downtown or don't have a reservation and are craving food, this is the place to go. read more

Me. Sushi on my lunch break was a plus. I've been here plenty of times. I don't eat sushi as much as I did but when I get a hunger for it I'm HERE. I more into the cooked sushi the raw isn't for me. I'm having the SundayMorning Roll every time; Mon,Tues.,Wed.,Thurs,Fri.,Sat.... it don't matter! When I want SUSHI EVERYDAY IS SUNDAY!!! read more

Mr. Sushi - Sunday Morning Roll and Shrimp/Veggie Tempura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Sushi was amazing! I saw the other reviews on yelp and they were spot on. The sushi was fresh and came out exactly as described. The wait staff was very attentive and the food came out very quick. I pride myself on judging a restaurant on the quality of their seaweed salad, and Mr. Sushi got five stars!! read more

This is ok if no place else to go. Miso soup, not much flavor. Good service from Jay, but sushi rolls are over priced and ok at best. Nigiri is very small for the price. read more

Jiro did not dream about this sushi, and I won't either. But, even though it clearly did not knock my socks off (like some other sushi definitely has), I will not rule it out as an option for a quick-ish, healthy, economical lunch. read more

Wow! I travel most the year and Sashimi is my go to... I was a little skeptical over the cheesy name, BUT... wow Sashimi deluxe was great quality and great selection! The Chef did an awesome job providing multiple cuts that usually I order a la cart. EXCELLENT VALUE AND EXCELLENT VARIETY! read more

Went for some late night dinner. Ordered a Alaskan Roll some Beef Lo Mein and Kal Bi. The Alaskan Roll was delicious and fresh. The beef in the lo mein was a little dry, but the flavor was good and the vegetables were fresh. The kal bi brought me back to a fond childhood memory of my Aunt Helen. They were delicious and if I was not in a restaurant I would believe they were homemade. You can tell that the cooks put their soul in the dishes. The only thing I was not a fan of was the service since our waiter was not very attentive. Overall I would 100% stop in again to try more dishes. read more

They had a grand re-opening event which was simply horrific. It was neither here nor there. $20 for all you can eat but there was nothing remotely appetizing. The fried rice looked alright, but there was some tiny pieces of poorly fried chicken that looked hardly sauced. There were some bbq ribs but there was no meat, they were completely bone. And there were a couple sushi options but with no description of what the pieces actually were and they looked like they'd been sitting around for a while. They had taken out some tables and replaced it with like half of a dance floor and a DJ. It felt like a bar mitzvah or sweet 16 gone wrong. Will NEVER go back. read more

In my original review, more than two years ago, I said Mr. Sushi was the "Average Guy" of sushi restaurants, in that almost everything about it--food, service, decor--was completely average and generic. After visiting Mr. Sushi for lunch every few weeks since then, I might have to revise my description. Mr. Sushi should now be called "Mr. Inconsistent." Sometimes, it's a four-star sushi joint with fresh-and-bright-tasting, neatly-assembled sushi with generous cuts of fish. I've also discovered that Mr. Sushi does a really credible job with dolsot bibimbab, which is a good lunch value at $11 for a huge serving. But on too many other occasions, Mr. Sushi is a mediocre and chintzy two-star sushi joint. In the prison cooking scene in "Goodfellas," Ray Liotta talks about how mob boss Paulie had a wonderful system for doing the garlic: "He used a razor, and he would slice it so thin that it would liquify in the pan." Well, sometimes the sushi chefs at Mr. Inconsistent seem to be inspired by this "Goodfellas" scene, except that they're trying to slice the fish so paper-thin that the restaurant can get 11,500 pieces of nigiri out out of a single block of fish. Actually, the sushi chefs are probably just browbeaten into doing it by a cheapskate manager or owner, but it's a disgraceful and off-putting practice in any sushi place, and a rip-off. (Also, sometimes various items in the bento boxes seem like they've been pulled out of a walk-in and heated up in a microwave.) For now, still three stars, at least until Mr. Sushi tips one way or the other and becomes either consistently good or consistently bad. UPDATE (3/2016): A few years down the line, everything above still pretty much holds true. Dolsot bibimbab is still a good value, the sushi is wildly inconsistent in both portion and quality, and the bento boxes have been reduced slightly in size and their contents don't look too impressive. read more

Have been here a number of times and always enjoy the food and service. The most recent time I ordered my usual spicy chicken bento box and we got some sushi as an appetizer. Spicy chicken was pretty spicy which is a plus. The sushi was great as well. I really like the bento box since it gives a variety of things to eat, the spicy chicken with rice, two sushi rolls, broccoli and more. Bento box is usually never the same since I have visited there and that is what I like about it. Get something slightly different each time. Will definitely be going back again! read more

The food was amazing & service was even better. I got take out. Kindness goes a long way. Thank you !!!! 10/10 recommend

This is a great place to grab dinner downtown. Our kids actually love sushi and this is a family friendly place. We found a coupon on restaurants.com for $10 for $25 of food. Pretty great deal. On our most recent visit we ordered a meal that included 3 sushi rolls, soup and salad for $15. Not bad. On occasion we are hungry for sushi and other goodies. Try the lo mein with everything. It is full of veggies, pork, beef, shrimp and chicken. Very tasty. read more

I am glad I decided to visit this place, despite the reviews.. I loved every minute here.. So we walked in, greeted by an american guy ( I am havign doubts now - I need Japanse people to cook at Sushi places please! ).. I know it sounds very weird, but then my mind is weird sometimes! Anyway.. I had some of the best sushi I ever ate! We just sat at the chefs table and let him feed us! Some yummy appetizers that I can't really identify, the hamachi sashimi that made me want to hug the chef, it was so yum! Follows by some great rolls- all different ones.. Totally recommend this place.. Whatever toll you get, expect it to be awesome! :) Great selection of Japanese beers, nice service and great food.. I would go back! :) read more

Half off rolls for dinner?? Yes, and they're full size! Arrived with a table for 5 on a Saturday evening, and we were immediately seated. Definitely recommend the large Sapporo if you like beer. The rolls range from the comfortable philly roll to exquisite rolls filled with real crab and topped with chilled roe. The miso soup was a little salty, but our huge order was ready in 15 minutes - hard to beat. We ordered a bit to go, and our waitress was fast, helpful, and very sweet. Next to us, someone was celebrating a graduation. Seated at a table of 4, 4 more people showed up intermittently. Grabbing chairs from other tables and ordering at different times, I watched their waiter stay calm, professional, and attentive. It was encouraging to see that Mr. Sushi employees care. read more

Mr. Sushi - Ahh - half off rolls for dinner. This was plenty to feed 5 adults. Delicious. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Full disclosure, this is a review of sushi coming from a vegetarian so my choices for sushi rolls are limited. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Sushi! It's a relaxed environment to pop in for lunch or dinner, and they have a pretty solid menu with a variety of rolls to choose from. I ordered the veggie roll, miso soup and a cup of tea and it was was great! Granted, it's pretty hard to mess up a vegetarian roll, but everything as a whole (rice stickiness, ginger, soup) hit the spot! They have a deal for dinner where the rolls are half off when you dine in, so my final bill was quite cheap. I can definitely see myself popping in here when I have a sushi craving in any given night! It's casual enough that you can come in solo, order your meal, and eat in peace on a relaxed evening. read more

In from out of town; stopped for lunch today. Was craving sushi. Had a lunch roll special and some seaweed salad. Everything was delicious and came out fast. And unlike some places, a single roll was a good portion. Well done read more

2 Stars ... Just okay ... Manager is a little uptight ... just because I had questions about the different types of Sushi .. "Welp Yelp" ... thank goodness there is another Sushi spot around the corner. Fresh & delicious, with exceptional service ... whom doesn't mind answering questions ... and prices are quite reasonable. read more

Mr. Sushi is connected to my office building via. the great Cincinnati skywalk, so in the following scenarios Mr. Sushi is the destination of choice: a) raining/snowing/sleeting/ugly outside b) late night at the office - need to pick up dinner (they're open until 10pm on week nights) c) sushi/asian food craving d) all of the above Lunch is super busy and there's even sometimes a 10 min wait if you have poor timing. There is more than just sushi on the menu... there are bento boxes, udon/noodles, fried rice, etc. Mr. Sushi's menu is an asian hodge podge... Korean (bibimbap, bul ko gi), pad thai, and other misc. asian dishes. Usually with entree/sushi orders you get side salads - it's just regular iceberg lettuce plus a few add-ins, but i love the dressing they have! I'm not sure when you get a salad - the menu doesn't seem to be super clear on it but I've essentially come to expect it. For dinner, rolls are half off and if you sit at the bar they usually make you a little free appetizer treat. Service is hit or miss.. the last few times I've been. I picked up the dinner the other night and my friend decided we should sit for a couple min because he wanted just one roll of sushi... they weren't even that busy at the time, and we sat at the bar.. the host working that night didn't seem happy about it. He gave my friend a water and it felt like he purposefully did not bring me one. Items i like: sushi - the fish tastes fresh to me. There are also a lot of options in the cooked seafood realm including deep fried rolls (air force, sunday morning) and a handful of rolls that are HUGE with this baked scallop/crab mix on top (volcano roll). I also like the bento boxes Items I don't like: gyoza - 4 tiny dumplings for $6 (not a good value, and not anything special), the fried rice. In the past I've liked the fried rice here but the other night I ordered chicken fried rice for $13 and i'm pretty sure I could make a better fried rice for $3 with my eyes closed... (ok fine not me, but my mom for sure) The location is too convenient, the food consistently good, and prices are appropriate so Mr. Sushi will remain on the list of the tried and true! read more

Rudest service I've ever recieved. Was told it's my job to wait and that my order is working after waiting 30 minutes for it to be prepared. It hasn't even been started when I arrived. Then was told not to get an attitude that he's been here all day. Maybe if the staff wasn't sitting down eating with patrons they would see take out orders. I will never order from or eat here again. read more

good stuff. HUGE portions. BEWARE. sushi for 2 should be renamed, "sushi for the u.s. army." WAY huge. WAY tasty too, but too much. happy hour is the tops. cheaper than most anywhere i know of. i'll go back. but next time i am ordering one piece at a time:). read more

Mr. Sushi - Chef's special for 2 - more like for 4:)! It was awesome - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Located just around the street from The Aronoff, Mr. Sushi is a trendy sit down Asian restaurant specializing in sushi. While they do offer a few Thai options as well as a full bar, sushi plates are the way to go. My friend and I mulled over the menu for a while. We wanted to try something new, something we couldn't get at any sushi restaurant... after all, the place was named "Mr. Sushi." Fortunately, the menu had some interesting options to tempt our palate. We saw a lot of combinations featuring scallops. Not our favorite shellfish, we crinkled our noses and kept looking. The spicy crab caught our eye, and of course, anything salmon is always good. We decided to pick two of the specialty rolls from the back of the menu, and two from the front, which featured basic rolls. - Citrus Salmon Roll: smoked salmon topped with lemon zest - Crunch n' Munch Roll: spicy crab, shrimp, tempura flakes, and spicy mayo - Japanese Bagel Roll: salmon, cream cheese, cucumber - Shrimp Tempura: tempura coated shrimp with cream cheese and sweet soy sauce Everything was delicious. Our favorite was the Crunch n' Munch, which delivered the right amount of spice with savory shredded crab. If you're looking for a unique flavor, go with the Citrus Salmon, which had undertones of lemon in every bite. A perfect compliment to the fish. Our basic rolls were good too, but if you're looking for recommendations, go with Crunch n' Munch and Citrus Salmon. For drinks, get the Mango Fizz: mango juice, vodka and Sprite. Comes in a pint glass and is a refreshing adult beverage that goes great with sushi. Also, since we spent over $15.00 per person on sushi, we received complimentary miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. Pretty standard, although my miso soup was lacking in tofu and was mainly broth. For free, can't complain, but I have had better elsewhere. Service was a bit on the slow side.The restaurant was almost empty around dinnertime and our server spent the down time watching sports on TV. We had to flag him down for our check so we could make it to the play on time. All-in-all, if you're looking for fancy sushi Downtown, Mr. Sushi gets the job done. Price per person: $20.00 read more
