Chef Nem Kitchen To-Go — Restaurant in Cincinnati

I’ve been eyeing this restaurant for a while on Ubereats, so I finally decided to order via Ubereats.

I ordered the BOGO Chicken Alfredo, the fried shrimp combo with the salmon fries as the side choice, and a side of garlic parmesan sauce. First, let me mention that it took just short of two hours for my food to even arrive. That was a little frustrating but, I got past that, and was just excited to try the food.

I, first noticed that the portion size of the chicken in the alfredo was very small. The garlic bread that was supposed to come with the Chicken Alfredo’s were also missing. So, that made me upset…because this restaurant’s prices are pretty high…so, the fact that I spent over $60, there should definitely not be anything missing from my order. Started eating, and I immediately bit into something in the chicken that was not chewable. I took that piece out of my mouth, and proceeded to eat, and I noticed that every piece of chicken that I bit into, except for one had hard, rubbery pieces in it, which left the chicken inedible. At this point, I gave up eating it because that’s just plain insane to serve inedible chicken. I proceeded to try the shrimp, and noticed that my garlic parmesan sauce that I paid for, was not in the container or the bag. The shrimp was pretty good, and the salmon fries were ok but, the portion size definitely was not worth $24.

I am angry, and very disappointed with this restaurant because I really had high hopes, and thought that the food would be amazing but, overall, it was not good at all. Thank God that the Alfredo was BOGO because I would’ve spent over $80 on inedible, small portioned food. I don’t know what’s going on with that chicken that is put in the Chicken Alfredo but, please stop serving your supporting customers this. Below are pictures of the rubbery pieces that were all throughout...

This place has been on my bucket list to try for over a year now and I had high expectations, so I feel compelled to write a review! First with the positive. As you can see, the presentation of their dishes is on point. The food was nice and hot! The mac n cheese was pretty good, no complaints there. I got the pineapple mango nemonade and it was spectacular! Really sweet, that’s for sure but that’s perfect to me. Now for the negative, I’ll start out with the parking. The parking situation is kind of a mess. When I arrived to pick up my to go order, a customer came out and told me the little bit of parking that was available on the side of the building where they had parked, they were told they had to move. There were also gigantic potholes in their parking space. I had to park at the gas station across the street and walk over. Sketchy area too. The lambchops were cooked well done (I like mine medium, but admittedly they never asked and I never told them how to have them cooked) but they were also overly salty tasting and they were pretty small as well. I don’t think I could justify spending 44$ in the future again for what I received, but I’m happy to have finally been able to try them out and able to support a black owned business...

Okay so it wasn’t all bad let me first say I appreciate and support black businesses period this one of them hole in the wall but pricy type places

Atmosphere: Okay so the location is in the hood, If you aren’t from the hood this may scare you at night whereas me, I’m comfortable in places like that…. And there’s not a lot of arm space when you get inside so you’ll be close very close to people while ordering your food

Service: I was talked to nice and even had a little laugh so that’s good, I gave my number and name and they called me to tell me when it was ready , when I went to get my order I got looked at confusing like they didn’t know where it was or who I was so yeah

Food: okayy I gave this one a hard thought and to be honest I ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Alfredo Presentation was FIREEEEE as you’ll see, even got a little flower and it was so cute … now mind you I payed 40$ and the portion was very little I know it’s a lobster but there wasn’t a lot of noodles And the sauce was watery not thick and full of seasoning.. but the lobster and shrimp were seasoned well

That’s it that’s my honesttttt review I would give this place another shot but next time a different...
