Best Sushi in Cincy?

I am going to take my husband out to eat for his birthday.  He loves sushi...
Where should we go?

Cincygirl- I checked your food blog... but didn't see anything about sushi yet! :)

Re: Best Sushi in Cincy?

  • I do not eat sushi but my best friend loves it.  Her favorite place is Kyoto in Symmes Township on Montgomery Road

    http://www.kyotosushibar.com/index.htm

  • I'm not a sushi fan either, but my co-workers love it.  AOI at Newport on the Levee is supposed to be pretty good and they all love Teak in Mt. Adams. 
  • I don't know if it's the "best" but in terms of convenience for me and overall quality, I 2nd Kyoto.  As a bonus, the Regular Rolls and Gourmet Rolls always seem to be half price anytime I'm in there (and I've been in for weekday/weekend lunch, weekend dinner)!

  • I'm not an expert, but I do like it.  I also loved Teak in Mt. Adams...so good!

  • Nope, I don't have a sushi place on my blog.

    H's best friend and I went piece for piece at Dancing Wasabi the other week, but I don't know if I would go there for a special occasion.

    For top of the line go to Jo An Japanese. It is Erlanger. H has been and said it was the best sushi he has ever had. It is where the toyota exes go. I hear they look down at American's a bit, but it is worth it. Don't be afraid that it is in a strip mall. i have eaten so damn good food in strip malls. It is a top 25 restaurant in cincinnati...Take what I have to say and do a little research. I have never been and that is not a very good topic of conversation in our house.

    my other favorites, starting at the top. AOI, Sake Bomb, Asiana (who doesn't love BYOB)

  • I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE sushi!

    My favorite place is the Green Papaya in Hyde Park (on Wasson.) Their specialty rolls (Green Papaya Roll and Lava Roll) are amazing!!!!

  • Sake Bomb and Green Papaya are AWESOME!!! I've had good sushi at Tek, Kosho, and Bangkok Bistro. Jo An is nice and quiet, but I didn't try thier sushi. The atmosphere was a little too quiet for us - and we'd brought a party of 7 fun people.

    Second Jo An Japanese. It's the best! It's not in a strip mall, but rather on the bottom floor of an office building. DH and I meet up for lunch there all the time since it's in the middle for us. The atmosphere is nothing great though, but the sushi is to die for.  

    We do like Myoshi on KY-18 as well. We like the atmosphere there a lot better. They are only open for dinner, but the place is always packed with people. It's small and intimate.

    Now I am craving some sushi. :)

  • Agree totally with Cincygirl -- Dancing Wasabi is wonderful. They do half price sushi on Wednesdays and thursdays and again Friday and Saturday after 10. Its loud and crowded those nights but very fun. The food is wonderful -- try the red double roll. I promise you wont be unhappy.

    There is the new ichiban in Mt. Lookout as well - I only had a bite of their sushi with a friend the other night  but it was very good. Worth a try.

    Green Papaya is very good as well, and I used to swear by Sake Bomb until they changed all of their help about a year back. I am not the fan anymore. 

     

  • Years ago when I worked in Lebanon we'd go to Ando Japanese.  They moved to Blue Ash on Pfeiffer Rd.  I'm not sure if they're around anymore but they were super nice and had a good little bento box lunch.

    Yup! They are still there. It's near my office and their bento box lunch is great.

  • Green Papaya!  That's where we love to go!

    And on Wednesdays Embers in Kenwood has half price sushi at their bar, and it's very very good.  I got their Kobe Beef roll, it was amazing and unique!

  • I LOVE GREEN PAPAYA!!!
  • I really like:

    Beluga in Hyde Park

    The Waterfront in Covington

    Soho in West Chester

    ....... ugh now I want sushi & I can't have it for another 239 days Crying

    OK I really have no idea as I know nothing about being pregnant but Isn't it just raw stuff that you can't eat?  You could get some rolls that are cooked to hold you over?

    Ditto. Can't you eat california rolls? or avacado & plum rolls?

  • Green Papaya (and the Green Papaya roll) is my favorite. We also like Miyoshi. H is a Teak fan but we've never gone together for some reason.

  • I am going to have to give green papaya another chance. H and I did not like it at all. I couldn't stand that the sushi chef was walking on his blue tooth ear piece the whole time!

    I have to confess-I only eat cooked or veggie sushi.  It's not the fact that it's raw fish or the taste, I just don't like the texture.  But yes, uncooked fish has the potential to carry little nasty things so pg women or anyone with a compromised immune system is advised to avoid it.
