I came and had dinner with my boyfriend as we are big fans of Yabird, but hate to wait for a table, so we decided to try Ronin which accepts reservations. I sent them an email the night before and got a table the next day. it wasn't as difficult to book as a lot of people say. They offered two sittings; we choose the early session of 6:30-8:30pm. We arrived a bit late at 6:45pm, but the restaurant was not full. They only have bar counter seats, so it would be difficult to communicate with each o
We arrived a bit late at 6:45pm, but the restaurant was not full. They only have bar counter seats, so it would be difficult to communicate with each other with a party more than three. A waitress came over and greeted us. She then explained to us that all their ingredients are from all over the world and everything on the menu is nice, bla bla..... She then told us that the omakase will take two hours to serve, if we can't finish by 8:30, they would happily transfer us to the standing table. And what? I have to spent $900/person for the omakase eating standing up?? Even cafe de coral give you a place to sit down and finish your meal.
In the end we decided to order a la carte. We started with a yellow tail sashimi, which tastes quite good, fusion style like in Nobu. We then order a deep-fried scallop, which was super oily. I expected it to be more dry and crispy, but was actually soaked in oil. Next came their famous dish of Kagoshima beef, which was another big disaster. The kagoshima beef was extremely marbled (at least 70% fat) and together with the special oily sause that the chef put on top, was like drinking oil. And lastly we ordered the unagi rice which tastes quite ok on the first bite, but as you keep eating, it gets very salty. We felt extremely thirsty after this dinner.
We suspected that they put tonnes of "MSG" in their food, as we were quite thirsty all night!
