"NEW Steak & Wake was good, but for the price, it came on a bun that was close to the size of the French Baguette they sell. Disappointed with the Strawberry Banana Smoothie as it basically came in a kids drinking cup you see at any family restaurant. Again, to little for what I am being charged for. It was all very good, but I do not feel I good about the value."

"One of my favorite places in Cincinnati. The food is always good - poke bowls, fresh and substantial. Love the soy eggs. The sides: veggie spring rolls, cheese wontons, even the plantains are dope. The hibachi surprised me with how delicious it is, the red snapper is dope. Please don't ever stop with the quality and the recipes!!"
"As a truck driver I try Poke all over the US this was by far the best Poke bowl I have ever had!!! The marinated Tuna was the best flavor I have ever tasted, the boiled egg was absolut perfection. I can only hope I get to come back this way again!!!!"

"Good flavor! But portion size very small for the price they charge looks like a kiddie bowl. Previous photos show in larger styrofoam containers."
"Alrighty, this isn't meant to be a bad review but I do think it's helpful for people to know what to expect. First, I did not receive the Good Pot Stickers (6) so nothing to say about those. Stuff happens, I'll hope to try those next time. The Brocco-lee had very little broccoli in it; it was, in fact, predominantly carrots, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots. Total of 4 big broccoli stalks. The zucchini I paid $2 to add was maybe 4 hearty pieces. NBD but was hoping for more brocc & zucc. It's right there in the name! It was also packaged in the absolute worst possible container for a saucy dish - one of those flip-top styrofoam containers like you'd put a sandwich & fries in. Now, I've been a restaurant manager and I know you gotta keep costs down, and when you do a lot of takeout business those containers add up. But this was bad - more than half the sauce spilled out and was in the bottom of the bag. Egg rolls were soaked. Gotta do better on the packaging (yes the doordash person could have handled more carefully, but packaging food properly starts with the restaurant). Now for the GOOD! The entree was a massive portion. I mean colossal. While they might be saving on takeout containers, they are def not scrimping on ingredients. Tons of nice-quality beef. The sauce was tasty and the spice level was on point - asked for level 3 and it was just a hint of heat. Perfect. Sauce was surprisingly sweet but I added a dash of Maggi seasoning for umami and then it was great. Pork Egg Roll (1) was clearly handmade, not one of those mass produced frozen jobs. Stuffed with pork & cabbage, seasoned really deliciously. Big Bertha Egg Roll (1) is indeed a big girl, and super tasty. Will absolutely order again, excited to try different menu items! Love that we have a fun alternative to the typical Americanized Chinese spots. "

"bourbon street steak is tasty. but why are your steaks sooooo small?? not a good value compared to other steaks in this area. also can't believe I paid $1.79 for 7 pieces of shredded cheese and bacon on the potatoes. bright side...Kids meals are well valued. and very good. grilled cheese and Alfredo is not always very good at restaurants, ends up kind of plain tasting especially since kids food tends to get the short end. but yall do well with the kids meals. "
"At first I thought it was going to be bad because it looked dry. But after I mixed it up i saw the sauce was underneath. This was a very thick piece of chicken too! And it had a little crunch like I like it. I enjoyed the fettuccine with chicken Parmesan. But don't get the Cesar salad. It was very bland and plain. Also they forgot my silverware."
