    Greasy spoon joint for Japanese food freshly cooked at your table. No frills - just a diner style restaurant

    We enjoyed the freshly cooked food. The several vanished for 45 min after we were served our final entree. It was quite loud with children running around. There were just three at our table: my wife and I and another lady who was on her phone the whole time (not the restaurant’s fault), so the ambience was poor. The food was reasonably well prepared and my wife enjoyed her shrimp and scallops. My filet was tender and not overdone, but rather plain. WOW this turned out like a bad review, but we did still enjoyed the experience.

    Ron of Japan is decent in terms of quality, but the prices are exorbitant for what you get. Go with family or friends for the experience and be prepared to pay a lot! The hibachi chef was very good and happy to engage with our group, however, our waiter was abrupt, and the overall experience felt rushed.

    Ron of Japan never disappoints. I've been dining here since I was 12 years old and it's always good. The drinks are good, the service is usually on point and the food is excellent even the next day. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
