πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Cincinnati Food Review | Japanese Ramen Shop 🍜

πŸ’™ I’ve been craving authentic Japanese ramen lately, and local friends highly recommended Cafe Mochiko β€” one of the hottest spots in town! πŸ”₯ Known for its ramen and bakery, we decided to visit with friends this Thursday. The place is fairly small. We arrived around 6 PM and it was already packed! Still, we only waited about 20 minutes for a table for three β€” pretty quick overall. Must-Tries 🍜πŸ₯–οΌš πŸ— Karaage: We tried their fried chicken β€” super crispy on the outside and tender inside. Perfect with ramen! Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MOCHI MOCHI PANIC: A creative dish β€” as a Cantonese, I’d describe it as stir-fried rice cakes (mochi) with bean sprouts, scallions, and minced meat. It had that classic "wok hei" (breath of the wok) taste πŸ˜‚. Pretty good, but a bit too salty for me. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🍝 TAISHAKEN TSUKEMEN: I went for the Japanese dipping noodles. It was my first time trying this style, so I can’t judge authenticity, but the hand-pulled noodles were chewy and satisfying! Served with rich pork broth β€” delicious πŸ˜‹ Though the broth alone was a tad salty. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A cool feature: their ramen menu changes weekly (Ramen of the Week)! A few weeks ago, it was tantanmen (looked yummy too!). So every visit might offer a new flavor. πŸ› Veggie Curry Rice: My friend ordered the curry rice (forgot the exact name). The rice was nicely cooked, but the flavor was just okay. Ramen is definitely the better choice here. Rating: ⭐️⭐️ We wanted to try their taro croissant, but the last one was sold right before us 😭 Their baked goods are great though β€” a rare find for Asian-style pastries in Cincinnati. Next time, I’m getting their milk bread! Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ βœ… Practical Info: Address: 1524 Madison Rad, Cincinnati, OH, 45206 Opening Hours: Closed Mon-Wed. Thu-Fri: 8 AM - 2 PM Sat-Sun: 9 AM - 2 PM Make sure to check the times before you go! #JapaneseRamen #FoodReview #RamenLover #CincinnatiEats #FoodDiary #JapaneseCuisine #Ramen #WeekendFoodTour #UCincinnati #EatingIsAlwaysJoyful πŸ™πŸ₯’
