Kanji OTR 739 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine Kanji focuses on sushi and Korean cuisine inspired by local restaurateur Inho Cha’s desire to offer Cincinnati a glimpse into the culture and flavors of his home country, South Korea.

In addition to sushi and nigiri, the menu boasts familiar Korean dishes like dolsot bibimbap — Cha’s favorite dish — served in a hot stone bowl with crispy rice, vegetables, choice of protein and a sunny-side-up egg, as well as chicken, pork or fish katsu; bulgogi; and tempura udon.

The Hi-Mark 3229 Riverside Drive, East End A prime patio-season stop, the Hi-Mark is a neighborhood bar that serves up some delicious food. From the owners of Eli’s BBQ and Pho Lang Thang, this spot is just about a block and a half from Eli’s famed barbecue haven. The drinks menu focuses on craft and local beers — both on rotating taps and in bottles and cans. But the food is where it’s really at. With eight different wing dry rubs and sauces (including Eli’s barbecue sauce), Lang Thang Chili Mac, nacho fries, a veggie Philly and grilled cheese, there’s something for everyone.

Thai Express 213 W. McMillan St., CUF This little gem brings authentic Thai cooking and culture to Cincinnati.
