Lean Kitchen Co - Cincinnati

If you drive by this place daily, like myself, and are contemplating stopping and giving it a try... DO IT! I have a busy week ahead and knew I didn't want to spend time cooking so I was looking for pre-prepared meals! Lean Kitchen was the answer to my needs!Location: Right off of Red Bank Road, with plenty of parking options.Service: I was greeted by a super friendly woman working the front desk and she answered all of my questions and went through each of the food options with me. It seems like she even knew which customers were regulars, which shows how much they value customer service.Price: its a little up there. You can get 10 meals for $80. Cheaper than eating your lunch and dinner out every day but likely more than the cost of a weeks worth of groceries. Luckily the ease and the variety of the meals helps make the decision to purchase easier.Food: So far I've only had the Sweet and Sour chicken... PERFECT. It had a little kick to it but was flavorful. I definitely feel full after finishing despite the fact that it's not a huge portion. I have many more to try, but the other customers in the store raved about all the options. Including the bang bang tacos and cheeseburger bowls. I also saw some pastas, chili, salmon and veggies, chicken and rice dishes, tacos and more. And I arrived at the END of the day! I'm excited to try more and am thrilled that these items are healthy and not frozen. It makes paying a little more worth it. Inside: there's tables inside to dine, and a microwave to heat your dish. So if you're hungry and don't want to take it home (or are looking for lunch) you can certainly eat there. Also, I was in the store for about 10 minutes and 3 different customers came in to shop so it is popular.Im looking forward to returning to Lean Kitchen next week and giving the dishes I purchased a try this week. I love the location, food, convenience, and service! And I always LOVE supporting Black owned businesses! A true 5 star spot to check out!

The food is really tasty. It doesn't taste like typical frozen meals. The pasta has the perfect consistency. The price is fair. The only drawback is that the portions are very small. Or maybe I'm just a whale lol

I love supporting local and black owned businesses! The first time I came, I was greeted by Marcus, one of the owners, and his daughter. It's a husband and wife team. He was very nice, helpful and informative. He explained everything and how everything works. I appreciated this! He was also teaching his daughter how to cash people out. I loved seeing this! Lean Kitchen is a meal prep concept that is grab and go. They have meals already pre-made that you can walk-in and grab to go. They cook on site in the back and make the food fresh. My husband and I love eating meal prep for lunch. It's a quick and easy way to have our lunches at home. It's also a health conscious way to eat. I didn't even know they had a Lean Kitchen here. My mom found them in AL where she lives and looked up the locations and found they had one in Cincy! Boy was I happy! I love this concept. They have quite a few different meals to choose from like Baja Turkey Cauliflower Rice Bowls, BBQ Muscle Bowls, Chicken Alfredo, Meatballs and Mac & Cheese, Chicken Wraps, Chicken Salad, and more. My favorite meal is their Baja Turkey Cauliflower Rice Bowl. It is amazing! It's ground Turkey, cauliflower rice and a Baja sauce. Yummmy! They also have breakfast meals and small sweet treats as well. Overall, if you like meal prep with good healthy meals, this is the place for you! Stop by and give them a try!

So this place just opened and I'm really happy about it! I tried their chicken teriyaki and brown rice bowl and the flavor was on point! However I'm disappointed about the rice. It wasn't cooked all the way and was very hard. The chicken was a little dry but I can handle that better than I can handle hard rice. This is more of a meal prep type place. All the food comes in meal prep containers and is premade. The people who work there are friendly and helpful. I would love to give them five stars, but they have to work on the two things I mentioned. I can't justify paying nearly $10 for a single meal when all aspects aren't perfect. This place has potential tho! Update: I returned and warmed my rice up as recommended, and it did get softer! Added another star!

Lean Kitchen is amazing! If you are trying to eat fresh healthy food during the pandemic they are so flexible and accommodating and I can't complement them enough!Their food is amazing and we will be customers for years to come! Try the overnight oats and the shrimp bang bang tacos!Support this local small business !!

Great choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert! Everything is pretty much high protein and somewhat low fat without sacrificing any flavor. They have very fair prices especially with how good of quality their food is. I would definitely recommend this place.

I just bought 6 meals and 2 snacks and I could not be happier. I've really been trying to make my own meals and weigh everything out and this made it so much easier. Everything is portioned out and TASTES AMAZING!!! The price point is always great! Highly recommend to anyone trying to eat healthier! Definitely recommend the meatballs and the donuts!

Lean Kitchen Company is a lifesaver! I actually look forward to the healthy meals--every single one is delicious. My favorites include the southwest steak bowl, lean steak tacos, keto chicken, teriyaki wrap and the double chocolate brownies. I've been buying the 10 meals for $80 which is perfect for my lifestyle. I typically eat one for lunch and dinner 5 days a week, then I fill in my smaller meals with things I have at home like nuts and fruit. Their menu includes a solid amount of low carb options and it's easy to keep track of your macros--the info for most of the meals has already been input into the MyFitnessPal app. The staff is super friendly as well and very helpful! You definitely need to check it out!

Great carry home !! Muscle Bites! Salads! Wraps!!! So fresh !!! So easy to watch the calories with pre packaging! Food changes every week for different ones!

This place is great! The food is tasty and really filling. I love that I can preorder my work week lunches and don't have to spend time meal prepping and washing a bunch of dishes. Each meal I've tried is enough food to keep me satisfied, and is great quality! I love the chicken street tacos and sweet and sour chicken the best. The salads are awesome for lunch or dinner portions. I really like how you can order ahead on the website or just pop in to purchase a quick meal for dinner. I definitely recommend!
