From our kitchen on McMillan Street to your table — Maki Express delivers authentic ramen broth simmered for hours, handcrafted sushi, and flavors that honor Japanese tradition with every bite.
Maki Express Ramen House was born from a simple belief: that the best meals come from the best ingredients, treated with respect and prepared without shortcuts. Located on West McMillan Street in Cincinnati, our kitchen is where tradition meets the rhythm of a modern city.
Every bowl begins with a broth — pork bone, chicken, vegetable — simmered for hours until it reaches the perfect balance of umami, silkiness, and depth. Our noodles are sourced from specialist producers, our toppings are curated daily, and our sushi is rolled to order. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is ordinary.
Each dish on our menu is a testament to careful preparation and a deep appreciation for Japanese culinary craft.
A rich soy-based broth with a deep amber color, served with chashu pork, soft-boiled egg, and fresh noodles pulled to order.
Bold and warming — a fermented soybean broth layered with corn, bean sprouts, ground pork, and a generous knob of butter for that signature comfort.
From classic nigiri to creative specialty rolls, every piece is assembled by hand using fish sourced daily and seasoned with precision.
We don't believe in waiting hours for a meal. Our kitchen operates with the same energy as the city outside our door — fast, focused, and never compromising on quality. Order online or walk in; either way, your food comes out hot and made right.
