Kiki on Ludlow is a Japanese gastropub in Cincinnati's Clifton neighborhood, operated by chef Hideki Harada — a 2023 James Beard Award semifinalist for Best Chef: Great Lakes — who relocated his beloved College Hill restaurant to Ludlow Avenue in 2023. Featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, the restaurant is celebrated for Tokyo-inspired dishes including shio ramen, chicken karaage, wagyu kushiyaki skewers, and an expanded sushi bar menu. Cincinnati Magazine named it one of the city's top dining destinations for its creative menu, accessible prices, and warm neighborhood atmosphere.
