This place took me on an adventure into a type of Japanese cuisine I didn’t know existed. The interior was a world away from the busy streets of New York, beautiful and ordered. I honestly felt like I was in a another world. It is a meal I will remember for a long time.

Friends told us about this place because they knew we'd just spent a couple of weeks in Japan and were desperately trying to keep the amazing foods and experiences going once back in the States. This place does not disappoint! Food was incredible, sake selection divine and the vibe was excellent. It was nice feeling like we got into a secret dining spot and we cannot wait to go back!!! PS - get the Ishiyaki A5 Wagyu Beef! Better yet, get two!

Very small and intimate 10 seat izakaya with one waitstaff but that did not affect service. Would be nice to have some non alcoholic drink options .

In short they have an excellent sake list. Food wise, well where do we start... in short, nothing savory. Everything is edible and well presented, but chicken should not be THE primary source of this dinner. Some of the skewers were even cold.

We had the most wonderful omakase experience at Izakaya Ronin. It was a unique experience highlighting best of vegetables side dishes and yakitori, all paired with excellent sake recommendations.

The staff went above and beyond during my wife and I’s dinner. The restaurant is very cozy in the best way, instantly transporting you to Japan. Our conversations with the staff about where in Japan they are from and where we should eat were very enjoyable. The food was delicious, with every course explained thoroughly. We would happily return and recommend anyone who is considering dining here to come.

It’s a great place with wonderful food and ambiance. The water was super amazing. My only concern is that I can’t bring in more of my friends because they are vegetarians. I with chef created a third option with just vegetarian skewers!
