Best Japanese Restaurants in Erlanger

Our annual Christmas dinner to Rubys was a great success as always. Truly a great night. The ambiance of the restaurant pairs so well with the holidays. Tony was our waiter as he has been for the last decade plus and does such a perfect job. Best waiter in town!!! Lupe his assistant was also great. Started out with oysters and two sushi rolls. All excellent. The oysters were really outstanding. For steaks Tony convinced me to try the Wagyu Ribeye gap. It’s not cheap, but it was one of the best steaks I have EVER had. Such an amazing flavor profile and great crust. Although it could have been a little more done to a true Med Rare. It was a great steak!!! Everyone’s else’s steak was made to perfection as we expect from Rubys. Finished with a slice of buttered pie. An outstanding meal and great Christmas tradition!!!

Server was new and very good. Kale and Brussel sprout salad was excellent as always!

Team was phenomenal and both my husband and I are already planning our return. The best part was the incredible service from Anjali. The lettuce wraps, popcorn chicken, and chicken coconut soups were fantastic appetizers. My husband said he’d had better Massaman curry but it was still very good. Overall excellent choice and would recommend.

Impeccable service & great food. Perfect for lunch, easy to have conversations with a large group.

We came on Maki and Sake Monday, which made the high end ingredients in their rolls much more affordable for us. We had the Rainbow Futomaki, Rodeo Drive, and a special (Lobster & Yellowtail), and each were fantastic! The quality of fish is certainly noteworthy. Drinks-wise, we highly recommend the Silk Tides cocktail. Very refreshing and complimentary to the maki rolls. We will be joining soon again!
