About Rantei Japanese Cuisine

Rantei Japanese Cuisine is a popular spot known for its quality food and authentic Japanese dishes. The Rantei Box with toro, snow crab, and hotate is a must-try, along with the Nigiris. The restaurant has gained popularity through social media, although prices have gone up. Reservations are recommended, especially for the tatami rooms in the back. The sushi rice is well-cooked and seasoned, and the portions are generous. The staff is quick and efficient, and the fried CA roll is a standout dish. Wheelchair accessibility is fully available at the restaurant.

Guests appreciate the fresh sushi that is reasonably priced, though there can be a wait if not arriving early. The menu offers a great range of items, and the Omakase sashimi set is considered good value for the price. The ambience is pleasant, with many tables available, and walk-in customers are often seated within 10 minutes. For larger groups of 6 or more, private rooms are available for a more intimate experience, especially if reservations are made. Popular dishes include the chirashi or kaison dons, and chicken katsu. The restaurant also occasionally offers complimentary treats, such as green tea mochi, which are enjoyed by guests.
