I'm never eating here again; very rude staff. Don't bother wasting your time here. By the actions of the staff, they want you to eat quickly and leave.
1. Poor Service Manners: Friend and I were eating at the bar, and was constantly pressured by our server to hurry. The server would try to bus our dishes early (with food left), rather than ask if I'm done. VERY RUDE!
I'm sorry that 45 minutes is considered too long for two people getting two apps, two drinks, two entrees, a desert, totaling $107 with tip.
It felt like we were being rushed constantly.
2. Food Quality: I'm not sure about the other dishes, but I'm sure Campbell's Soup could make a better ramen. The ramen seemed to be hardly heated, canned beef stock, add some unusually wide udon syle noodles, and some american gastropub porkbelly; and somehow that's ramen?!? Hardly any flavor, or maybe I was being rushed by staff and couldn't savor the flavor.
Poorly executed dining experience, staff was rude, and food lacked anything close to the ramen I've had across Japan.
I'm never going here again. Customer service is very poor. Food quality is lacking. Not worth the price.

The food is excellent, fresh. Give this a go.
This place gets busy. Do plan for a reservation or come early.
We wanted to have a nicer late lunch/dinner on our trip and I came across Rondo on Yelp. It's a short walk from our Airbnb so we wanted to try.
The ambiance is awesome! It's giving retro Japanese Izakaya with gaming references scattered throughout. The staff is super nice and attentive! They're constantly coming around and refilling our water and asking how everything is. The host was quick to seat us and was super nice!
The food... so good! The Black Garlic TanTan Men was delicious! The Classic BB Noodle was decent, just too much oyster sauce for me personally. Others may think it's not a lot but for me, it was too much. The Oh! Shu Mai was super good, the ingredients inside seemed fresh and weren't overcooked or anything.
The star of the dinner: Umi Cream Croquettes. They were soooo good! The sauce it's paired up with elevates it and just chefs kiss tbh!
Overall, a great place to eat at, especially during happy hours! Would recommend.

This restaurant is not large but it has a nice vibe. We are slightly disappointed about the platter, it looks better than how it tastes, the sashimi was mediocre and not particularly fresh. The noodles are flavorful though.

good service and cozy atmosphere. however, food didn’t match my personal preferences. fish was good, but rice quality could’ve been better. also, if you prefer your food on the milder side, the salmon flakes in the salmon chirashi donburi may be too salty
If you’re looking for a Japanese side quest, Rondo is worth a try! I ordered the creamy seafood udon, Hellz Chicken, and the salmon chirashi bowl. The udon was perfectly creamy, the fried chicken was crispy with a nice little kick from the sauce, and the chirashi was fresh and well put together. Everything came out looking great and tasted just as good as it looked. For dessert, the soft serve is necessary. I’d recommend the hojicha flavor, which was balanced and so good. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere, and since it’s in Cap Hill it’s easy to walk to. Just be prepared that parking can be a bit tricky if you’re driving.

This place is our go to spot when we’re in the neighborhood! We came with our stroller for the first time and got to sit fairly promptly, even though it was jamming last night. Food was excellent as always and service was friendly! A little loud if your baby is sleeping, but ours wasn’t so it was good vibes all around. Washroom has changing table!

Solid izakaya spot in the heart of Capitol Hill.
We came on a Sunday afternoon and were seated quickly, even though it was busy and the tables stayed full. The food took a bit longer to arrive, but everything tasted great.
Service was quick and efficient, and while the prices are on the higher side, I think they’re fair for the quality you get.
