Quick and flavorful. Even better - near the zoo to end in a high note for family trip. Seating is limited yet meals go quick - 12-14 seats total. Good food and worth the trip.

Ramen and Katsu Don are just delicious. Everything is fresh prepared, the place is small and authentic.
Talk about a whole in the wall..tiny place ..assume it is mostly to go orders. We liked to never have found the place! It is not clearly marked. 😉 It almost seemed like we were "bothering" the workers as they are watching a movie when...we walked in but the Ramen was good enough to not be upset by it lol Would visit this place again and again if I live nearby!!More
In years past, Maki Express was a Sushi-type restaurant. Although they still have sushi, they have re-cast themselves as a truly authentic Japanese Ramen noodle restaurant, including Udon. They are very much still open. I had the pleasure of stopping here one fall day. It's...tiny. I mean little. There are two tables which give you the option of sitting on the floor and maybe 4 other tables with chairs. The cooking is all done right in front of you and the food couldn't be fresher. If you're a Ramen noodle fan, this is the "to go" place here in Cincinnati. The food is delicious, the service friendly, and the restaurant itself what every restaurant should be (I know, it's not PRACTICAL, but quaint and intimate nevertheless). Give it a try.More
Loads of different sushi. One average udon dish. Good service. Green tea or jasmine tea. Utilitarian setting.
This tiny restaurant (only has 3 or 4 tables) is really known for carry out but we decided to eat in. The sushi is made while you watch with really fresh ingredients . The flavors are delicious and delicate. The service is amazing--especially considering that...our meal for three was less that $25. They specialize in sushi but also carry a few other Japaneese meals for the faint of heart.More
Oh my gosh!!! I experienced the worst sushi ever thanks to MAKI EXPRESS! There fish are not fresh or delicious but it smells bad. (And I am a fish person!) On top of the bad food, service of horrible too. I think the owner and...servers are from Indonesia or something and one of the server doesn't speak ANY English what so ever! I wonder if that person is even legal to work there. She took our order and the food never came! I will never go back to this place or never recommend to anyone. I guess I need to find the REAL Japanese cuisine run by real people who know how to cook real Japanese food!More
Good Sushi
I love this restaurant....Very cozy and clean. I have been visiting this restaurant over a year now and they never fail to impress me with all the variety and creativity of their menu items.....You will find a lot of special menu item in their menu...compare to most of other japanese restaurant. The food always prepare fresh and the price always reasonable.More
