The food and presentation here were excellent! I got the soft shelled crab appetizer, deluxe chirashi, and sashimi omakase. The fish was very fresh and delicious. All of our dishes were presented beautifully! I definitely want to come back and try their kaisen don. We chose fancier dishes to get so our total was more expensive, but there are definitely less expensive dishes on their menu. My only complaint and reason for a star deduction is that their tables are super sticky... I did see the waiters wipe every time someone left, but I guess the tables weren't deep cleaned enough? It was very off putting. The bathroom was also quite messy. For those two reasons I think my next time eating here will be to go and not dine in.
An above average Japanese restaurant with a variety of low budget omakase choices. Foods are well presented when they are served to spice up your appetite. This location is very popular and you can expect to wait 30min~1hr on any given day. However, they do not take reservation for group with less than 6 people. However, Rantei could really do a better job to respect their customers' time. When you arrive, they will ALWAYS give you a lowball estimate on your wait time. They told us to wait 20mins and we ended up waiting 1hr and 20mins. So did many other customers and you can visibly see their frustration. I absolutely hate waiting around and wasting time just to eat. Sadly, waiting to eat isn't unique to Rantei but it is something that I wish all restaurant would stop doing. Please adopt an online system so people can better use their time while they wait. Or take reservations for all party sizes. It is especially disrespectful to deceive your customers in order to make them wait aroun
SUPER FRESH SASHIMI!!!! ???????? We were super lucky that we came today and their omakase sashimi plate has lobster & snow crab!!! ???????? If you’re a sushi/sashimi fan, definitely highly recommend to come! You won’t regret to come! Have to walk-in if you’re just with another friend, forgot what’s the number they will take for reservation. The servers in the restaurant are all really nice too, which is a PLUS!
