    Rainbow, black dragon, salmon skin, spider rolls.
    Susan C.

    Everything was really good here. The hamachi jalapeño was really good and fresh. Sashimi and nigiri were good -- king salmon nigiri All the rolls we got were also good - rainbow, black dragon, salmon skin, and spider. Sashimi and nigiri prices on menu was a little confusing...it says 50% off but the price listed is the 50% off price. Will definitely be back to try other rolls.

    I cannot express how amazing Tenji is! An old Wendy's on the outside, but nice renovations inside. The fish is fresh and delicious. Their rolls are pretty big and are so tasty. I have gone twice in a span of one week! First time, I went with my family and when I took all these pictures. The second time was on Valentine's Day. The staff are amazing and so kind. Even with a packed house, they still provide great service. You can tell how loved this place is by how many people were waiting to get in on Valentine's Day! I will definitely be coming back to try out more!

    Mexican Roll No Sauce
    Amy D.

    It was hard to wrap our heads around the fact that this was obviously, previously a Wendy's. They tried to make the inside inviting, but it's just bizarre. However, we read the food was great, so we met our friends there. Our server was very soft spoken and didn't exude confidence, but she did a very good job. The sushi IS very good. We had the Hana Roll and our companion had the Mexican Roll with no sauce. Both were very fresh. The yellowtail nigiri was also perfectly fresh and lovely. The vegetable tempura was just okay. We didn't love the sauce, and it was the last dish served at our table? There was one piece of onion ring, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, and two pieces of sweet potato. Our friend was confused by her Bento Box as the fried rice she asked for was odd, and the shrimp came one fried, and three in a sauce. The Tonkatsu Ramen was good, but not great. The broth was flavorful, but the noodles were all in a solid clump, and the egg was whole instead of cut in two, so I had to take it out and cut it with a knife. The pork was tender but didn't stand out. I ordered miso cod as it is one of my favorite dishes, but they just re-did their menu and took that off. Bummer.

    Chirashi, Godzilla Roll, Hana Roll

    First time here and by far the best sushi I've had in Cincinnati! I ordered the chirashi and the fish was so fresh and flavorful. My boyfriend got two rolls and they were tasty and filling. The server was very attentive and all the plating details were so cute. The restaurant was quiet and clean, a good choice for a casual dinner.

    I ordered takeout and only tried the sushi. My thoughts: not horrible, but not good. I got the Kings Island Roll ($14.95), Hana Roll ($15.95), and Salmon Roll ($7.45). All three tasted fishy and the salmon wasn't fresh. Prices are similar to other spots in the area, but the quality is worse. Side note: the online menu prices are outdated, everything I ordered was $1 more than listed. Even if it were cheaper, I wouldn't come back for the sushi. Not worth it.

    We've been here twice now and I can say it is one of my favorite places to get sushi in the area. The sushi and sashimi is 50% off and taste amazingly fresh. Service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

    Aburi Salmon Belly, otoro nigiri
    Eda X.

    Stepped into Tenji on a Monday evening and had the entire dining hall to ourselves. The waitress is very sweet and friendly. We tried their otoro nirigi, aburi salmon nigiri, Valentine Roll and sashimi truffle appetizer. They all were delicious! Their sashimi is 50%, so definitely take advantage of that deal!

    This is hands down the best sushi in the area. Fresh, beautiful presentation, great preparation with details and flavors you don't see elsewhere. The outside didn't do this place justice. Friendly staff And sushi chef comes over to table often.

    Stopped for a late lunch & was pleasantly surprised with menu selections & pricing. Food was delicious, attentive service & casual atmosphere. Would recommend & we'll be returning!

    Tuna and Yellowtail Nigiri

    Everything was fresh and tasted great! Service was great too! I definitely recommend Tenji!

    Spicy Girl Roll
    Kathleen C.

    Updating my review since they have changed ownership recently. Sushi is on par and they really have some interesting choices. The bluefin tuna, salmon and shima aji (recommended by the chef) were amazing. And right now, all sushi is 50% off. Rolls were good but I have to admit, with the sushi being so great, I'd just go get some of the special fish they have not seen everywhere. They were out of the sweet shrimp, so looking forward to trying that again next time. Service was great. Servers were attentive and friendly.

    Simply amazing. What more can I say?? Excellent service and vibes and delicious sushi! Has easily become my favorite place to go for eating with my partner.

    I think the Tokyo Grill and Sushi Buffet in Mason has taken my #1 spot for best Asian Buffet…read more The first time I came here (a couple months ago), I had a bit of an interesting start. We arrived at 11am hungry and craving a buffet, however, the building wasn't open. We waited in the car and after a while called the place to ask if it was open. The lady on the phone said they're still getting the food ready but that we could sit in the restaurant and wait. Upon walking in, she was apologetic and gave us our drinks. It took another 15 minutes for the food to be ready, but the entire time her and the staff were very nice. They have a hibachi section, buffet section of sushi, some pots of soup, fried appetizers, and plenty of dessert options. The way they portion the food in little baskets and plates I found to be really cute and convenient. The food was nice and hot, flavorful, and eye candy from the moment I saw it. The dessert was slightly sweet and was light on the stomach compared to other buffet foods. I'm so glad we stayed and waited because now this is my designated sushi buffet, lol. The place is clean, the atmosphere feels light and as if I was in a relative's house for dinner, and the food was great. Highly recommend this place!

    I had been paged to the Kings Mills Hospital (chaplain) on a Sunday around lunchtime. Once I was…read moredone at the hospital, I was so hungry and had been craving Chinese food. Without any Chinese food options, Tokyo Hibachi & Sushi Buffet was across the street and I decided to give it a whirl. As it was a Sunday afternoon, the price was the same as dinner - $25.99. I had never been there before so I was greeted and it was explained to me how they worked. One thing that wasn't explained was that the hibachi portion wasn't part of the all you can eat. My issues with this was that there was no rice or noodles elsewhere with your typical Asian food buffet items. Actually, the options aside from Sushi, the one-time hibachi, and dessert were somewhat limited. It started with chicken nuggets, mozzarella sticks, etc. There weren't many options on just the buffet part. On top of that, a lot of the food was out. The soup Options were Egg Drop and Miso. The Miso soup was not my favorite. It was missing something. I love miso soup I get at hibachi grills, but this one missed the mark. There was no salad or options like that. Even the sushi part of the buffet was out of a lot of stuff. I've never tried sushi. I did try some of the fruit sushi they had and it was good. I will say that the foods I did get to eat were delicious. I did ask if I could get some more fried rice and they did get that for me. I appreciated that very much. I didn't feel like I got my money's worth of food because so much food was out. Also, I probably could have built up my hibachi bowl more, but I didn't know it was a one time thing. I would like to go back and try this place again in hopes that the nugget would be better stocked. The service was great and the food was delicious.

    The menu looked sooo good for takeout but I was a little disappointed with our order for a couple…read morereasons. I would try it again, but would probably seek out a different place to try first to compare. First, I found the ordering process a bit confusing. Their website advertises BOGO rolls but it's unclear how the second roll is taken off the bill. I was expecting to see a second roll deducted from my bill but didn't, so I called and found out that there is a plus icon under every roll that indicates a second one. I could see this after that, and it made sense. I was coordinating an order for 6 adults so there were several different rolls in our order plus all the free ones. When we picked up the food to split, it was all on one giant platter. This was fun (and I'm glad it saved waste) but we couldn't tell which roll was which and which was the second free one. I wish I would have known to ask for takeout containers to split up the extra also. Another note about the ordering- there is nowhere on the website to enter a pre-set pickup time (only default 25-30 minute option) so you'd have to either order right before pickup or call the restaurant like I did to change the time on your order. I also ordered vegetable fried rice and green gyoza. The fried rice was good but not great. It was hot and fresh, but just not as flavorful so I topped it with more of my gyoza sauce. The green gyoza were not good. The skin was dry and stiff, and the inside was a starchy filling, almost like chickpea or another starchy bean. It was not the soft wrappers with smooth fresh filling I expected, and I was bummed cause I was looking forward to them so much. Our order was on time and the restaurant had easy parking and entry. But besides that, I found all of the aspects of this takeout experience to be just okay.

    Hung out with some friends for the Fourth of July and needed something for dinner that was open on…read morethe holiday, so we ordered take from Kyoto Japanese Cuisine. I'll start with the two biggest positives: they have a buy one get one free sushi roll menu with roughly 12 options. The size of the rolls are pretty good! My husband ordered a crispy crab roll, which is crab and tempura and cream cheese. This is typically his favorite role at other restaurants, but there's didn't quite measure up to others we have had. I got a white tuna and avocado roll. It was totally fine and I would eat it again. I am a huge spicy mayo fan and love it so much. I added it to every single role. So if the spicy mayo is mediocre or not good, it could keep me from coming back again. Sadly, there's totally missed the Mark as it was really sweet instead of savory. I would definitely eat here again for the prices and portion sizes, but wouldn't go out of my way to do so.
