My husband & I went to Ryu around 12:30 PM on a Tuesday, & the restaurant was almost a full house, which is always a good sign. Despite how busy it was, the waitress seated us right away.
We were looking through the menus when my husband asked if there was a lunch special, since we had seen a $39 lunch special sign outside. The waitress then realized that the lunch special menu hadn't been included with our menus & brought it to us right away.
I ordered the lunch special with the assortment makis, & my husband chose the sashimi, nigiri, & maki platter lunch special. Both lunch specials came with miso soup, which was comforting & well done.
We also ordered O-toro (fatty tuna) & itoyori (threadfin bream) sashimi, & these were absolutely exquisite & hands down some of the best quality fish we've had. The freshness, texture, & flavor really stood out & made the meal feel special.
When we asked for the bill, we noticed a small mistake: we were charged for two bottles of San Pellegrino instead of one. One of the waiters fixed it promptly without any issue, which we appreciated.
Overall, the food quality was excellent, service was attentive, & the lunch specials offer great value. A small hiccup aside, it was a very enjoyable experience, & we would definitely come back.
Very pretty place, nice for a lunch date for two or for dining alone. It does not have many seats for a large group. Selection on the menu seems varied. I did not try enough of the menu to give a accurate review about the food & I may not go back the service I received was disappointing. The waitress that served me was pretentious & just plain snooty. I would not recommend this restaurant alone based on her service. Instead of listening to what I was asking for she assumed I was trying to get discounts. Not cool. I would also like to say that if you are going to set up a menu include one that does not serve imitation crab.
