Roji

I went to the Thursday 5:00 p\.m\. seating, and I know I got lucky getting a reservation\. I logged on around 7:00 that morning to book, and I was able to get one on my first try\. Several people in my group said they’d tried multiple times without any luck\. From what I’ve heard, Thursday at 5:00 is one of the easier reservations to get, because the Friday and Saturday 7:00 p\.m\. seatings disappear almost instantly\. I’ve had sushi all over the country \(although not all over the world\), and this was hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had\. The quality of the fish is incredible—they fly it in from Japan—and every course was beautifully presented\. The pairings the chef came up with were amazing and really let the fish shine\. The menu changes every day and every season, so you’ll never have the exact same experience twice\. One of my favorite surprises was the miso soup\. The chef explained that the broth is made using the bones from the fish we were eating that evening, and it was honestly one of the best bowls of miso soup I’ve ever had\. The only suggestion I’d make is to have a simple printed menu with the names of each course and maybe a few notes about the ingredients\

Really great tasting food at Roji for lunch. Very good quality price and food. So interesting hearing from the sushi chef, he was very knowledgeable and executed nicely. Such a one of a kind experience in Cincinnati.

An experience!! Not just food or a place to get sushi but vibe. Music being played on a record player. Music chose by the server. Pieces of art being made right before your eyes with some fresh tasting fish. The salad and miso soup(made with fish bones cooked down to add a lot of flavor) are wonderful. Reservations are made 6am the day you want to go. An intimate group of 8 gives the chef and server time to form a repor with the attendees. It's worth the time and money.

This is absolutely one of my favorite places in Cincinnati. I was trying to keep a secret but they really deserve 1 million stars so this review has been a long time coming. It’s the closest thing you can get to a traditional Japanese omakase experience in Cincinnati. For context I’ve been to Japan multiple times so truly this place is legit. Food: 5/5 The restaurant is omakase style, so no menu no choice, just 9 courses of amazing. The 9 course does refer to dinner. Their lunch is also delicious and a great option if you are looking for a more budget friendly option. You can also purchase extras during the dinner course and I would highly recommend it so you don’t have sushi fomo. All the sushi is prepared perfectly and should be eaten as is. That means no soy sauce dipping or extra wasabi topping. The menu rotates based on seasonal availability of the fish and all fish is from Japan. I’ve had some truly amazing sushi and some that I’ve never tried before. They can accommodate allergies but are not vegan or vegetarian friendly. Service: 5/5 I love everyone who works here! The service is great and the preparation is interactive. The sushi chefs provide descriptions of each course a
