Rantei Japanese Cuisine

Wonderful experience! I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and they brought out the food in a timely manner and was super organized. They were always there to help. Note: there is a bit of a wait so come early to put your name down!

I've been here multiple times and all the dishes are so good here. Their services are so great! There can be long line during weekends but it moves pretty fast.

Excellent food and great service!
We had sushi omakase and chirashi don special. Both were fresh and delicious.
Will come back definitely.

Great service,Great food and good ambiance.
Great prices and very fresh fish!
Coming back!

I once wrote a pretty mediocre review for this place back in the early 2010s but this place has become markedly different from how it was 10+ years ago. Tatami room seating was fantastic but we were drinking a good amount and I couldnt help but wonder if anyone's fallen through a screen wall before. Anyway, I took extra care to not go through that experience.
Fish quality was great, fresh hamachi was plenty juicy and the salmon was nice and rich. I think the knifework was pretty solid. The main improvement from 10 years ago was service, everything was far more attentive. Food actually showed up at a good pace this time as opposed to what we previously experienced of 2 hours wait with 3 items popping up in a 5 minute cluster.
They definitely manage the kitchen alot better nowadays. I think things always roll out at a nice pace. I absolutely love eating here now!

Been here twice - once for the boxes, then sushi + hand rolls.

Fish quality of the boxes + higher end/specialty hand rolls aren't worth it to me, but I did enjoy the sushi and regular hand rolls. I recommend the more casual items if you're looking for a tastier meal and value. Boxes are better for photos and the experience.

I saw this place on Instagram and asked my friend to go. It was definitely a splurge to get the box! Everything was fresh, although I personally wished there were more uni. And it was a lot of crab meat and salmon roe. I think all the components are considerably a fattier/heavier type so it would've been nice to have a better balance of a fish that's on a lighter side. The service was quick and fast. They were on top of it. It was pretty busy even on a weekday. It is a bit crowded because of how they laid out all the tables and chairs pretty close to one another. I'm sure to accommodate to their popularity and demand.

You've seen the reviews, the line outside, the social posts. They're really good.

My sister came to babysit so of course that means sushi for our date night.

We ordered the:
1. Softshell crab. Delicious.
2. Agedashi tofu. Also delicious.
3. One kaisendon. Ditto.
4. Two omakase sashimi. Ditto.

We could've gone with one omakase sashimi instead of two. I'm glad we didn't get the nigiri. It didn't look as nice as the sashimi from a presentation perspective in my opinion. We had so much rice from our kaisendon that it all balanced out.

Mmm rantei was so good!

Their salmon belly and hamachi belly was super fresh! I would love to try their other fish. As for the Kaisen Don, that's what everyone comes here for. Uni was a smaller portion but never fails to satisfy me. Underneath was rice which I had no idea! Presentation was amazing.

We also had sake that was recommended by our server. Not my cup of tea, but had to try it! Also got another roll which was not pictured here but it was good.

Additionally, they do not take waitlist over the phone. Go into the restaurant and scan the QR code. Came on a Saturday and the wait was about 20 min or so. The server was nice enough to let us change our seats as it was kind of awkward having one person eat on the side of the table... ending up getting a corner table tucked away in the restaurant! (:

We went around dinner time and it wasn't pack at 5 pm. Apparently, you can reserve those table that you see in anime. I forgot what's it called but it seems cool to sit down on the ground to eat. My friends and I ordered family style. We got garlic edamame, takoyaki, salmon carpaccio, curry udon, kaisen don, and white roll.
