Absolutely 10/10 experience! The chef was incredibly engaging, explaining each dish and sharing insights about the ingredients and techniques, which made the meal feel truly special. Every course was beautifully presented, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Each plate felt carefully curated, and the creativity and attention to detail really shone through. The atmosphere was intimate and welcoming, making the whole experience unforgettable. I would highly recommend this omakase to anyone.
Been to here for few times and they never disappointed us. Love their sashimi the most as they tasted so fresh and all were “thick-cut” lol The interior is cozy with excellent servers. Definitely recommend dining here , reservation is always recommended as you won’t have luck if you walk-in.
Ryuko was absolutely incredible. We went for my husband’s birthday and it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment we were greeted, the service was flawless - our server was warm, attentive, and never let our water glasses get close to half empty. Chef John Lee’s hand roll was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted, and Chef Jun Young Park’s nigiri was unforgettable. He even walked us to the door at the end of the night to say thank you and goodnight, which made the evening feel even more special. We did the dinner reserve omakase ($210), and it was worth every single dollar. This is the kind of place that makes any celebration feel even more meaningful. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.
Love the food here! All the fish was fresh and tasty. The interior and service was very good. The carpaccio was delicious, it had a nice acidity to it and the pieces of fish were pretty big. Also really enjoyed the nigiris and agedashi tofu. I probably won’t get the beef oshizushi again, since it wasn’t my personal style but others might love it. The dessert was a great combination of crunch, creamy but still pretty light and fresh. Will definitely be back to try other menu items along with the ones I enjoyed this visit.
The service at this restaurant was exceptionally attentive and warm. All the dining options were distinct and delicious, each with its own unique appeal. The ambiance was excellent—though the place was fully occupied, the clever layout kept the noise level pleasantly low. We had a wonderful experience at Ryoku West! The staff greeted us promptly with bright, cheerful smiles. The restaurant features an open kitchen design, with the counter wrapped by bar seating. It was a delight to witness and catch the aromas of the bustling activity behind the counter. The food was both flavorful and comforting. You could truly sense their strict standards for ingredients—the use of high-quality, fresh components resulted in deeply satisfying dishes! Will definitely be back! :)
