Reviews for Citrus & Sago in Cincinnati, OH
Finally I found Malay/Indo food by my house - been looking around for good, authentic Beef Rendang. I read the reviews and... everyone said it's good. I came 10 minutes after they open at 4 PM on Thursday. Only had one family dining in. I ordered NasiLemak with Beef Rendang to go. I ordered 2 ????. The place was clean and neat. It has 6-8 tables. Bathroom was clean. I waitedfor my food for less than 10 minutes. And YES!! The food is soooo good. Definitely I'll be back and bring some friends with menext time. I posted their food picture here and included my favorite shrimp chips (indo style). Read more
First time dining here. I?ve always wanted to try Beef Rendang, they had it on their menu, so I had to order one. Also ordered... the chicken Curry puff, which was delicious as an appetizer. The Beef Rendang was as good as people say, and wow what adelicious flavor it had. It came with kimchi, rice, nuts, and a boiled egg. All paired amazingly with the Rendang. Thank you tothe team for making our party feel welcome throughout the experience ???? Read more
This is by-far the best plate I had in Cincy. They mostly ran out of all the appetizers. But the two dishes we tried were... outstanding. We got the 1. Roast Duck Noodles. This is one of the best duck I had. The glaze and the crunch of the skin wasoutstanding and the duck was cooked to perfection. The noodles complemented the duck very well. They are known for theirduck. 2. Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang - This is the best plate. I am not kidding. The dish was exceptional. The sambal (you canpractically drink) or put it on any of your meals. It tastes amazing. They make it in-house. The meat was tender and the picklesand peanuts complimented the dish. I would get it any time I visit this place. Overall a great team and Kudos to the chef. Oneof my favorite place to go in Cincinnati. Few things to keep in mind: 1. Make a reservation. Over the phone is the best option.The place is small (6 tables may be)and might get full. 2. Go early in the day- We went around 7pm, most of the dishes are soldout (especially their appetizers). I was looking forward to trying some. 3. Parking might be a tad bit difficult. There isstreet parking but you should be lucky. Read more
One of the best meals I've ever had. The roast duck was prepared perfectly and had a really nice flavor. We tried all of the... appetizers and they all were outstanding. The mango boba was so good and I tried the coffee jelly boba too. WOW. So much flavorin everything. 5 stars is not enough. Read more
The best Asian food we had in Cincinnati! especially the Roast Duck and rotisseries. Highly recommended. They serve Malaysian... cuisine too, like Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai! Read more
Total gem in Mt. Lookout! Glad we tried it. We ordered the hainan chicken, BBQ pork and the vegetarian meal, all authentic and... very delicious. Small and clean dining area, friendly staff and great service. We'll definitely come back to try other dishes,e.g. roasted duck! Highly recommend. Read more
We celebrated Chinese New Year here with their 6-course dinner. Food was excellent! The chef came out and told us a story about... the meaning and tradition of the food during Chinese New Year. Dishes is all prepared in house. Nothing is bought or frozen. Youcan see the staff working in the back for authenticity. Reasonably priced. Lots of variety. Service was swift and polite.Plates were cleared quickly in time for new entrees. Store was clean and well maintained. Bathroom too. Atmosphere is small andintimate. No loud music. Basic decor. Lots of fruit and paper lanterns for celebration. We had a wonderful experience. Istrongly recommend this restaurant for anyone in the Cincinnati area. Read more
We're visitors from Houston and came here twice with our son and his fiancé who are living here. All of us tried various... dishes. They are all delicious. We're impressed with the crispy pork and roast duck. We're assuming the pork are marinated inbig pieces instead of the whole pig like Chinese roast pork due to the fact that the meat is flavorful like they're rubbed onboth sides. The skin is very crispy. Meat has just the right amount of fat, not excessive like pork belly. The dishes we triedare curry puff pastries, green curry shrimp, crispy pork, duck plates with various options like rice, noodles dry style andnoodles with broth, fish and tofu, clay pot curry fish, bok choy and eggplant in 5 spices sauce. Clay pot curry fish has somecoconut milk in it with just a hint of heat. Duck is very flavorful. Everything is seasoned just right, not overly salty likemost restaurants. These are the best crispy pork and Asian roast duck we've had, compared to Chinese style pork and Pekingduck. The restaurant is clean. Chef and staff members are friendly and ready to answer all questions about their offerings. Wewholeheartedly recommend Sago. Read more
