The service is consistently praised for being warm and attentive, with friendly staff that make the experience enjoyable. The restaurant has an elegant and refined atmosphere, with a quiet, light, and airy environment suitable for special occasions or date nights. The food served is generally considered delicious, using simple ingredients prepared to perfection. The mini Kaiseki lunch menu has been described as truly spectacular, with all dishes prepared with maximum care and flavorful ingredients. The dining setting is intimate, and staff meticulously explain each dish as it is served, enhancing the overall experience. The chef has been perfecting his methods over the years, and many believe Ranzan is deserving of a Michelin star. The meals keep improving, making each visit memorable.

Guests have noted that the food presentation and flavor combinations are uniquely delicious, and the dishes are beautifully prepared and well-balanced. The atmosphere allows guests to focus on the food, creating a special dining experience. However, some reviews mention that the ambiance can be odd, with an unusual combination of colors and textures. Wait times between courses can be long, sometimes taking up to 2.5 hours for the full experience. Prices are high, and the sushi kaiseki menu has been considered expensive for the quality of ingredients. Overall, Ranzan offers excellent service and a thoughtful design, but the wait times and prices might not suit everyone. A 20% gratuity is automatically added for parties larger than six.
