Was a 35 min wait WITH reservations. staff was not as welcoming. They will not seat u until your whole party is present. poor service, not enough seating. Food quality was decent, but no flavor. No yum yum sauce, they took king crab legs off the menu but still serve king crab sushi rolls. Ice cream was really good & fresh.

Everything was great except that when I made the reservation on Open Table I specified that we were celebrating a birthday. When we got there the hostess did not ask about the birthday, and our server also did not ask if we were celebrating anything special. So we were a little bummed about that, but the food was amazing!

Food was good-- consistent -- service is bad-- no warmth-- just move everyone along and slap on 18% auto gratuity for a party of 3--for whatever reason no fire show during cooking presentation -- two birthdays at the table and two half burnt sparklers on a sad pineapple top-- management should ask themselves if they can do more -- Ron of Japan was always about experience and a show--seems like nobody cares anymore --

What can I say.As per usual, the food is great! We have been blessed with a great chef every time. Although in our last time it was a rather busy day, the staff did as best as they could to make sure we were tended to. I certainly would recommend as a place to come with friends, enjoy a great meal, and have a few drinks. Pro tip, the valet parking service is probably the most convenient parking uptown in the area and is priced reasonably.

I have not been to Ron of Japan for several years, but our experience was not nearly as much fun as last time. The restaurant now caters to a much poorer class of people, the chef carving our meat as it sizzled didn’t interact with us at all as they did formerly, and the room was so smoky it was very difficult to breathe. Our clothes still smell of greasy smoke today, after airing out overnight. It’s a nice idea for a large group to experience something unusual, but I wouldn’t return.

The whole place is dirty. Our table was sticky and the staff were rude. We were crammed in a round table while the chef cooked so close to our face that even flames felt as if our faces were being burned. The food is just okay however it still is something I would not try again. There are so many other excellent restaurants that I am surprised this is still open. My clothes smelled of the food the next day.

We felt rushed. No glasses with the bombers of beer. Placed an appetizer order, and wanted our dinner order at the same time. She never cleared our plates and ate our ice cream over a dirty table. Had to ask for refills.

Ron of Japan never disappoints. Got together with my girlfriends and had a great dining experience. We had a “new” server who was amazing. She was being shadowed by an experienced server and she did a great job. Our chef Segundo, who we had requested, did an excellent job in making our dining experience so nice. We had a great night celebrating a birthday and would HIGHLY recommend Ron Of Japan if your looking for great food, ambiance and attentive servers.

We’ve been going to Ron of Japan for decades, and this experience was awful. While waiting for our table, my husband went to get some drinks from the bar. He was the only one waiting, but it still took 20 minutes to get a beer and a class of wine. My son ordered 2 sushi rolls, which took almost 1.5 hours to receive. We were all done eating by the time the second one came…and it was wrong. My husband received the wrong beer….twice. Just a terrible experience.

The price of the food was high. There is no more entertainment with the preparation of the food. We were celebrating my daughter's birthday with my grandchildren. I was disappointed that they eliminated the amusement part of the dinner preparation.

Restaurant is dark, smoky; the teppanyaki chef cooked the food just fine, but didn't really interact with the customers, and besides lighting a giant flame, didn't have any tricks to show. Floor was greasy, service was slow. Food was fine, nothing special.

Food was very bland as was the tabletop cooking experience. Scallops tasted like they had been in the freezer for a few years, basically inedible and most of them were left on the table. The up charge for shrimp in the flavorless fried rice was ridiculous. We will not be returning.

The waiter and chef were 5 stars. I did 4 star because before we received our ice cream, someone came to clean our table and tried to take food we were still eating. There were empty booths and tables, so I couldn't understand. He even kept blocking during dessert, so I couldn't speak to my grandmother across from me. This really ruined the dinner. Also had written that this was a "birthday". The hostess never let waited or chef know. Very disappointing customer service.

We were expecting to see typical hibachi tricks and there were none. Also the quantity of food, for the price, and compared to what we’ve received at other hibachi establishments was significantly less. The food and egg sauce were delicious though.

The service was awful-our hibachi ‘chef’ was mean and angry if we asked for anything or requested a change…we could barely hear him and our whole table was afraid of him (some strangers). They were out of many things, the decor is dated, it feels unclean and unsafe. But the food was subpar and not a good value, without any of the fun of hibachi. Will not return.
