Kiki was incredible. All aspects were perfect, from food, service, and atmosphere. We ordered the karaage, the pork bao buns, and the wagyu skewer. We would order everything again in a heartbeat, it was so delicious and flavorful! For dessert, their cheesecake was top tier! Our server was very helpful in making recommendations and overall the quality in everything was impressive, I’m looking forward to coming back! Also to note, there is free parking connected to the building. They will validate the ticket for you, which was a huge plus!

Great shio ramen and kaarage. The ramen is full of flavor but not too heavy and the kaarage is very krispy and goes well with the house mayo. Prices are reasonable and they validate parking in the lot next to them for 1.5 hours.

Super cute ramen shop! Clean, very open, walked right in and were served quickly for lunch. Handrolls were a fun appetizer, kimchi ramen was a perfect lunch portion and delicious! Will definitely be back for dinner.

This new Kiki location is really lovely and so much better suited than the old location. I love that they have sushi rolls as well as nigiri and sashimi. The fish is some of the best in Cincy for sure! This is a great spot in Clifton!!

Amazing food, amazing service! I went to their old location and am so happy they moved to Clifton! The vegetarian and vegan options are great, especially the cauliflower and the ramen! The service was also incredible! They don’t have their liquor license yet so no alcohol. We had a great time – definitely would recommend making a reservation.

Had the lunch salmon poke and pork belly ramen. Both were good. The green tea was minty and not very good. Otherwise a good experience.

Update:
On my second visit, even though we had a reservation, we were given a table at the very end, in a poorly lit corner next to the restrooms, while almost every other table was available. I didn’t like it and asked for a different table. The host explained it was for optimizing space and said switching wasn’t possible. We arrived right when the restaurant opened, and I was with friends who came because of my recommendation. To be honest, I don’t care about optimization, nobody wants to sit in a corner when there are better tables available. I requested a different table from our server, and she was able to move us a little further down, but we were still far from the crowd. It made us feel like outcasts, lol. It really killed the vibe for us.
The food and service were good.

Tried the chicken karaage, Wagyu skewers, pork bao buns, and the mango cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Our server was nice and helpful. We’ll be back to try more dishes.

This place is great. I ate here a few months ago with my girlfriend and had a great meal. The server was knowledgeable of the menu. The food was great quality, ramen could be a bit bigger though. Room was a bit smoky, hood maybe? Not perfect, but would reccomend to anyone, l be back.

So good! Food tasted like it was really from Japan! Julie was so kind. Curry pan was incredible. I really do suggest you go here if you want to make an incredible culinary experience.

This new* Kiki in Gaslight Clifton is located near me. I had a great poke bowl for lunch, but the full dinner menu has a lot more delicious options.
Service was excellent and my food came out fast. It seats a few dozen. I can easily see myself becoming a regular here.
