The new Uncle Yip’s location on Reading Road in Evendale is now open. This was their old place from a few years back, but now they’re occupying the adjacent space as well, doubling the dining area. They are also very pleased that this location has more windows, and therefore more natural light, by the diner’s tables. It looks like they’ve upgraded their lazy susans as well. Everything is bright and clean, with a red wall adding a much needed splash of color. The friendly and accommodating customer service has not changed at all. It’s also …read more

Mother’s Day was celebrated earlier this year, and the absence of crowds made the day so pleasant that we have decided to make this our new tradition. Since it was “my” day, I got to pick where we were dining.

Asiana Korean Restaurant is about 20 minutes North from the heart of Cincinnati, so that alone takes you away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Located in a small strip off of Cincinnati-Dayton Road, it is a bit of a drive from many Cincy neighborhoods but not too far away as to be inaccessible.

Don’t know why, I’ve been in a dim sum mood lately. There are only a few places in Cincinnati that serve dim sum. Quite surprising given that there are a lot of Chinese in the area. There are, of course, over a hundred “Chinese restaurants”, but only these serve dim sum on a regular basis.

Chopsticks is a new restaurant in West Chester, about a half an hour’s drive from downtown Cincinnati. It’s about 6 months old, located in West Chester’s commercial strip on Tylersville, off of I-75. Tastefully appointed and quiet inside, the walls a cheerful mustard, and seating for about 75. There’s an empty space right when you walk in from the “lobby” area that needs a little something to bridge the space from doorway to table, but it also contributes to the fresh and uncluttered atmosphere.

The first time we tried their food (take-out) was when we had …read more
