" Delicious sushi at Rantei. I tried their famous Chirashi Don and was blown away by how fresh everything was! The fish just melted in my mouth, and the presentation was on point. On the flip side, I found the pace of service a bit slow, especially when it got busy. But once the food arrived, it made up for it! Definitely returning soon!Just the inspiration I have been seeking and highly recommend their soft shell crab . " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to Rantei for its sushi! The freshness is superb and the staff is generally friendly. Last time, we got a bit lost in the shuffle, and my friends received their food before me, but all in all, a good outing. The ambiance is so warm and inviting, which makes it a lovely place to enjoy a meal. Highly recommend the Toro! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Rantei last week and was blown away by their sushi. The freshness of the fish was outstanding, and I was particularly impressed with their thick slices of sashimi. However, the service was a bit on the slower side, probably due to the place being crowded. I hear their omakase is a must, so I’ll be back to try that soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every single dish I had at Rantei was a delight. From the appetizers to the dessert, it all felt so authentic and thoughtfully prepared. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy with a slight buzz of friendly chatter, ideal for a fun evening out. My only issue was the pacing of service; it felt neglected sometimes. Overall, I cannot wait to come back for a second round of this fine dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit to Rantei, but it left some room for improvement. The sushi tasted fantastic, but service was a little lackluster, and it took longer than expected to get refills. If the ambience was a bit quieter, it would have made it perfect. Overall, good sushi but the experience could be better! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food at Rantei was undeniably fresh, my experience wasn't quite what I hoped. We waited a long time for our order, and when it finally arrived, the sushi was cold—like it had been sitting out. The service staff was friendly and tried to do their best, but it felt chaotic. I might give it another shot with a reservation but just be wary if you're going during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rantei has earned its place as my favorite sushi restaurant! Everything is delicious and fresh, and I love the variety of dishes they have. I have only been there twice, but both times were incredible. There was a slight issue with the service being slow, but the food made up for it. You can certainly feel the authenticity in every bite. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
