La Hiro Sushi and Sweets

Wow! It's so hard to find really Japanese sushi and this is amazing. The sushi was fresh and warm and the fish was delicious. The chicken, gyoza and edamame were also amazing. We will be back and can't wait to eat inside and try the desserts!

Best sushi in Cincinnati and environs. The fish we had was fresh as the day their mama made them. A lot of places here have rubbery fish. Not here. The rolls respect the fish, not hide it. The udon soup is amazing. I've worked in Japanese restaurants before- it's very legit. I hear that a lot of Japanese workers for one of the big auto plants come there. It's a small place. Reservation only most of the time. I wanted to try the cream puff, but within an hour of opening they were sold out. All handmade deserts. Kind people. Will go back often.

My sister's go-to place for sushi from Cincy, we order takeout and take the drive bringing everything back home. We ordered unagi/eel nigiri, two spicy tuna rolls, and a spider roll. The spicy tuna rolls were the best. It was my first time getting that roll and not having it be mushy, finely chopped tuna with spicy mayo holding it together. This roll was a strip of tuna with spicy mayo squirted down the line of it assembled like a subway sub. Cut into sushi-sized pieces, each bite was proportionate in fish-to-sauce ratio and felt incredibly fresh with the larger chunk instead of the usual paste-like filling. The only complaint I had about our order was the spider roll was incredibly salty. I didnt finish it because it was throwing off all the other goodness. I think it mightve been part of the batter potentially but wouldnt stop me from going back, maybe just not ordering that one.

La Hiro is one of the hidden gems in Florence! Authentic Japanese Cuisine, from Sushi and fresh appetizers (which are obvious they are hand made and not frozen) to the Teriyaki, Ramen, Curry even Grilled Salmon Cheek... they have there normal menu but they make a weekly special one with some great suprises, you just have to get it on time before they run out.They also have a great selection of sweets that can be found on there website or facebook and japanese whiskey and sake as well.The only reason it is not a 5 star is because one of the owners/waitress sometimes may come off a little bit rude, but i just think is her way of speaking... not on purpose. But besides that... the food is something to look foward to 100%! Specially now since you can order only take out, then it would be a 5 star quality & service .

AMAZING!!!!! Sushi and Sashimi are super fresh- mouthwatering! Miso soup delicious, Chicken Teriyaki sticky white rice and salad with authentic ginger dressing, to die for and seaweed salad was perfect! Only place to have true authentic Japanese cuisine outside of California!Only thing missing are:Salmon Teriyaki dinnersBaked oystersMasago for their sushi rollsEel sushi by itself, not paired with anything else!

They have limited sit down experience we were given a table and had a few dishes, the food was mediocre for sushi. If anything the calamari was good. But I was very appalled at how many times our family was asked if we are vaccinated. I will not be back to support this business, telling my health history just to come and eat is no ones business. We are headed into some dangerous times if you have to disclose personal information to anyone. How rude would it be for me to ask her if shes been to the gynecologist recently, do you have warts, hepatitis..etc when handling our food? I mean come on now.

Very pleasantly surprised and once again a big thank you to fellow yelpers for this excellent find. In town for a business meeting and never dreamed I'd find authentic, excellent Japanese food. In Kentucky of all places? Turns out Toyota has had a long presence in the area and there's quite a few Japanese ex patriots in the area that have graced Kentucky with their excellent food. Unfortunately they were out of tonkatsu so went with a bento of tempura, sashimi, and seared white fish. Added the cucumber salad and if I closed my eyes, it was if I was back in Yokohama. Didn't sample the cakes but they looked splendid. Next time......next time.

La Hiro is located right near the Sakura Japanese Grocery store over in Florence. It's quite a bit of a drive, but we stopped by when I came back to town from my flight into CVG.I assumed that this place specialized in sweets since it's in the name, and so I was determined to try something out. We came in around 2:30 PM and they still had the lunch menu available, so that was a relief since usually dinner is expensive, though I'm not super knowledgeable about their menu or the differences to say the least.Generally, their dishes aren't too terribly expensive. I ordered a Tonkatsu and the SO ordered sashimi. The tonkatsu was about the size of my palm, came with sauce and a mini salad. All of it came with miso and salad. The SO's sashimi came with 3 pieces of each fish and also came with miso and salad. Just the way that my dish was presented, you could tell there was something a little bit different. The owners take a lot of time 'designing' and plating their dishes. You could really see and taste the 'homemade' love with an inkling of elegance. While the portions aren't excessive, and the prices might not be completely on point (speaking specifically to non-main kind of entrees), you are eating a meal made with a lot of heart. This is really the first time I've experienced this. The whole place bleeds of heart and you can tell that it's a restaurant where the owners had dreamed of opening it, where the husband wants to serve fresh fish, and the wife wants to make delicious and beautiful desserts.I was bummed that they didn't have the green tea cake, and even though it was late by bakery standards, they had many cakes and sweets still available. It doesn't seem like all of them are on the menu, so you I'm assuming she's always experimenting with new techniques and flavors. I opted for a raw cheesecake with a jello top with cherry blossoms, or sakura, imbedded.The dessert was so delicate yet rich. It wasn't too sweet and it wasn't heavy at all. I could have eaten the entire slice by myself! Overall, the bill came out to be about 26$ for 2 people, filling me up quite well, though leaving him a bit on the half full side, and with tip bumped that up to $30. It's not any more expensive than other legit Japanese restaurants, though I wish it were closer! I'll definitely be coming back to try some more cakes :)

Hidden gem in Florence. Authentic food and desserts. I have not dined in, but our only go to for takeout!

This place is top tier! While it is unusual to have to have a reservation to dine in. After dining in, I totally love that they do that! By doing reservation only they're able to maintain a quiet and calm environment inside and are better able to concentrate on providing amazing service and producing delicious food!The curry was mouth watering! The ramen was so full of flavor! The sushi was so fresh, the cake was so perfect and light! Our server was so nice and dedicated to making our experience pleasant, she even boxed up my left overs for me and was constantly clearing our table off when we finished each course and making sure our cups were always full!Now let's talk about the best thing... the prices! We got miso soup, sushi, curry, ramen, and 2 pieces of cake- altogether it was around 45 dollars! Typically my bill for 2 at other places is around 60-70! We will definetly return!
