99 Restaurant

For authentic Chinese food in Cincinnati this is my go to! Pan fried noodles Canton style (Hong Kong Krispy Seafood Noddles) Crab steamed with glutinous rice in lotus leaves Tilapia in chili sauce Roasted duck with steamed baos My wife loves the tender beef soup (I forgot the name) Steamed scallops were excellent Don’t forget their Twin Lobsters. Prices have gone up by 30% so it’s been a little expensive. Hopefully it will come down soon.

They will give you all the chocolate mints you will need to last a lifetime!! On the down side, they chose to display the're filthy, unkempt aquarium tank in the main dining area, which, well you know, that's definitely a sight for sore eyes I'd say. The customer clientele didn't seem bustling, considering it was dinnertime, as I didn't see but two individuals walk in and out of the restaurant for the entire duration of time I was there. The staff seemed to be very attentive and alert, and ready, at a moment's notice, to service, happily, the next Asian-food junkie's craving for 99 (that walks in the door). A very spacious interior, leaving no room for those bumps and bruises and charley horses obtained from cutting the corners. I recommend you give this joint a try for those Saturday night order in sessions with youre significant other, family, or friends!

I went here after being invited by friends. What a hidden gem 99 Restaurant is. The dishes we shared were all very tasty and delicious. From the hot and sour soup to the Peking Duck. This is not the typical Chinese restaurant. The chefs here must really enjoy working with food. The soup had many ingredients and items were sliced very thin. Such fine attention to details and flavors blended to perfection.

All I can say is WOW! Never knew this restaurant was located way back and in the strip mall, but it was fantastic. Started off with two Spring Rolls and an outstanding Sweet Chili Aioli sauce that was incredible, absolutely loved it! Also had some Hot Oil Dumplings, that were fantastic, and for the main dish I had Mongolian Beef - again fantastic. The food tasted incredibly fresh, not oiled down, just a really great lunch at a reasonable price. Loved the live tilapia, lobsters and crabs in the tanks and the place was spotless. Would love to go back for Karaoke. Highly, highly recommend this place - great food, great value, very clean, and good service.

An amazing find. I've been looking for this place for a long time. Not specifically 99 Restaurant, but rather a place that didn't americanize their menu and served Chinese food the way it's supposed to be. I had the spicy clams. No one asked me the spice level (they shouldn't ... make it how it should be). It was fantastic. It was delicious, spicy and unlike many others, but this one did not disappoint. I had their hot and sour soup as well, and crab rangoon, all of it was fantastic. I'll be going back often. Oh and fire those odd you tat like "americanized Chinese" food ... they have that on their menu too.
