I enjoyed my Char Siu Miso ramen. I added shrimp, pork dumplings, and beef to mine. The shrimp isn't fresh shrimp (frozen) but the soup was still very tasty. The beef was well seasoned, the pork tender, and the broth flavorful. There was a large ratio of meat to noodles; so the other ingredients (mushroom,marinated egg, and bok choy) were buried in the unami broth. I chose the hot chili oil and green onions ( comes with cilantro) to top my meal and it added a spicy and savory element that was most welcome. I thoroughly enjoyed my ramen! Kiss to the chef!

Absolutely EXCEEDED expectations. The pork dumplings were fantastic, and the SAUCE. oh my god the dipping sauce. It's better than any dumpling dip ive ever had in my life. Not too spicy, but very well seasoned and a bit of spice to it. not too oily, just the right amount of vinegar to cut the oil. Im obsessed. The bao bun stuffed full, somehow managed to stay together anyway, and was absolutely flavorful. The veitnamese coffee is delicious and perfect, and it came in a big cup which i really appreciate :) i always drink vietcoffee soo fast, and this will actually last me a bit haha.
Overall, the prices are competitive, and the portions were surprisingly big! which makes the prices feel like a steal. On top of that, the food was prepared, picked up, and delivered SO quickly. My food was still warm when i received it. The delivery driver was kind and careful and followed directions. I couldnt have asked for a better experience.
I will one thousand percent be ordering from here again. I waited TOO long to finally try Dope!, but now that I have, its my new favorite place.
Thank you Dope! for being so great (:

Yup I'm back, after my first order and review I actually ordered from here again the next day. This time I got 3 separate dishes with high expectations and I was not let down. Someone in the reviews said they had the best ramen ever so I got the Veggie Ramen then added chicken. My history has been the packs of ramen and the more expensive bowls that usually come with a few additional ingredients and better seasoning. This ramen was like a gourmet experience just hats off to the chef. First let me say that the dish normally comes with what I think is a fried tofu and it is so delicious that you do not need to add a protein like I did. The presentation is just really good and the taste just follows it up. You get a pretty large bowl with noodles and lots of well seasoned vegetables, so much so that I was enjoying the dish before I realized that I hadn't even added the sauce. The sauce come in a separate container which is good because you can add as much or as little as you desire. the Lemongrass Chicken Bao is a taco style dish on this extremely fluffy tortilla like bun. The bun is filled with fresh veggies, sauce and your choice of protein. I devoured that bun first just right out the bag and it was gone. it's only 4 dollars which is good because you would need at least two if this was the only thing you ordered. I also had to try Chicken Karrage Rice Bowl since I had the lomein last time and let me tell you it was the bomb as we said in my youth. I have not used soy sauce, duck sauce or any other sauce with any of these dishes outside of what they came with and you do not have to. You get to select your spice level for every applicable dish, I did medium for all of mine and that was perfect for I'm a 340 pound man and three dishes lasted me all day so it's filling portions. I have a new favorite restaurant in Cincinnati.

The food here is well worth the price. when you see prices like that you hope for an experience and each dish delivered. First thing I noticed was that each selection has a great mixture of vegetables that I normally don't taste on a regular basis. Protien options are not the main attraction even though they are delicious as well. I could really be satisfied with an all veggie dish here even though I am not a vegan or vegetarian. The ingredients are FRESH and the taste is great. I highly recommend the Beef Banh Mi it was my favorite selection. The Lo mien - chicken is where I got that really good veggie experience with well seasoned chicken bites included as the cherry on top. When I saw the DOPE! Wings 6pc for 11 bucks I was like idk but they looked so good in the picture. Well everything I got had a restaurant style presentation in well sealled containers (no sauce dripping all in my bag). I got more than enough napkins, forks and even traditional chop sticks for each dish even the sandwich. I look forward to having a dine in experience in the future if they have that option.
