Review Summary

Ryu earns praise for very fresh fish and a range of standout items like a sashimi platter, caviar crab roll, toro maki, and even a tuna belly with truffles, with the Kaizen roll singled out as especially good; the wagyu tataki is tender but seen by some as not worth the premium. Service and presentation are repeatedly described as superb and the ambience as great, with a cozy, low key vibe and courteous staff. Many reviewers call Ryu the best sushi in town and applaud an authentic Japanese approach with pure high quality raw fish and minimal sauces. Takeout and lunch specials are noted for value, with miso soup well done and several dishes delivering the same freshness. One visit highlighted a mismatch between interior photos and the actual space, and some felt the prices were high for what was delivered. A rare negative experience cited slow service and seating issues that spoiled the mood, though the food was still described as decent. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a top choice for fresh, quality sushi, with occasional hiccups in service or space.

We tried the omakase as a group of four & the food was overall very good. Most dishes were well executed.

The only negative was with the maki course. We were served four different types of rolls, but each roll only had six pieces despite all four of us ordering the $150 omakase ($600 only for food + $sake & $desserts). This meant we had to split unevenly & decide who gets which type instead of each person enjoying the full experience.

When we asked, we were told that each roll'comes in six pieces.' At this price point, that explanation doesn't make sense. A tasting menu should be adapted to the number of guests so everyone receives equal portions.

As it stands, the more people you are, the less each person gets, which feels inconsistent for a fixed-price experience.

Great food overall, but this detail took away from what should have been a seamless experience.

I had a lovely dinner tonight at Ryu. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent & we were greeted so warmly. The staff were incredibly sweet, attentive, & made us feel very welcome throughout the evening.
We really enjoyed our meal, & everything about the experience felt thoughtful & well done. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful & everything tasted very fresh. The atmosphere was perfect, not too crowded, which made it easy to relax & have a great conversation with my friend. It felt like such a cozy & enjoyable dining experience.

Overall, I loved everything about it & will definitely be coming back again!

Nice low key vibes here. Intimate yet relaxing & calm ambiance. Very courteous staff.

Ordered a few things here & they were all plated beautifully.

The wagyu surf & turf maki was nicely done. Wagyu was delicate.

Toro & chutoro nigiri was standard, which sometimes is the best. Lightly dressed up.

Will need to come back to try other dishes.
