Kanji OTR

You can’t make a bad choice here! If you look at my other reviews, it’s very clear I am a huge fan of sushi and only post reviews for those I feel are the best around! I’ve been to Kanji multiple times and the beef bulgogi and sushi are always drool-worthy. They have a large selection of beverages and of course, sake. I like the location due to its proximity to various venues, including Findlay Market (across the street), Memorial Hall OTR, and Cincinnati Music Hall.

We came for lunch on a Saturday and had no issue a being seated right away. Everything we tried was delicious and our server, Abigale, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Definitely check it out!

Nice location, great food, friendly service. From the host to our waitress Abigail who recommended the seol wings. A great first time experience. I'll see you all again soon💜

Street parking was available. Our server was very polite and told us the popular menu items frequently ordered, Wings along with something else. We decided to try thr wings, ugh, I'm glad he told us because they were perfectly cooked, seasoned and the sauce is finger licking good. Our server came over with 4 small dishes with roots/veggies seasoned very well for us to get and if wanted, to add to our meals. The shrimp fried rice was good but could've used more seasoning in it. The galbi, I couldn't stop eating this (beef) because it's seasoned so well 😋 . This is a place I'd definitely come back to.

Love Kanji & Abigale! Always come back here when we’re in town and it was our first time having Abigale as our server. She was phenomenal! Great energy.

Edit: I had a small mishap the last time I went, but the owners were kind enough to reach out to me to resolve the issue, and I always appreciate when businesses put in the effort to do that. It shows they really care about quality and have high standards. The fish katsu and sushi (Juanito roll) was good

We were staying up the street while in town for a work trip and were trying to decide on dinner the first night and we found Kanji with great reviews so we decided to give it a try! The AC was broken that day but that did not change our experience- our whole experience was amazing! Between the 4 of us we ordered a good amount of sushi rolls, mixed drinks, and more. The waitress was very friendly and helpful in her recommendations for not only what she finds best as we asked her, but other local things we could do since we’d never visited Cincinnati before! We did not have a single roll that we didn’t love! Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!
