Cincinnati Japanese food Mei Restaurant

📍 Mei Restaurant 8608 Market Pl L Ln, Cincinnati, OH 45242 Went shopping around Kenwood and decided to try Mei – a cozy Japanese spot! 🛍️🍣 Portions are on the smaller side, so we ordered 5 dishes for two people. Here’s what we tried: 1️⃣ Mei Roll ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When a dish has the restaurant’s name, you gotta try it! This one had tuna, salmon, and roe – super fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! 🍣🔥 2️⃣ Big Roll ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Filled with egg, pumpkin, shrimp, and spinach. Pretty standard but solid. 3️⃣ Grilled Sablefish with Saikyo Miso ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This black cod was BUTTERY, tender, and had a subtle creamy-sweet flavor. A must-order! 🐟🤤 4️⃣ Squid Legs in Ponzu Sauce ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The squid itself was fresh, but the dish wasn’t mind-blowing. Still, it hit the spot since I hadn’t had squid legs in a while! 🦑 5️⃣ Nabeyaki Udon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loaded with chicken, shrimp, and veggies in a comforting broth. Perfect for a warm meal! 🍜❤️ A great find near Kenwood – definitely coming back for more rolls and that sablefish! #FoodDiary #JapaneseFood #CincinnatiEats #HiddenGems #USFoodie #StudyInUSA
