I went to Ru San's not really knowing what to expect but the average American idea of what Japanese food is supposed to be like. I was pleasantly surprised to find the food was excellent and while there was a definite American vibe to the atmosphere it was still an excellent meal.
We started off with the calamari which was delicious and fried really well. Then as part of their special menu they had a lamb
katsu which knocked my socks off. Growing up tonkatsu was one of my favorite comfort foods and to have lamb prepared in a similar way was just incredible. I am a big lover of lamb and that poor dish didn't stand a chance! I went back a second time to have it before they took it off the menu but hopefully they'll bring it back some time!
The only downside to eating here is the atmosphere. The location I went to was in midtown and there were a lot of people who were there to get buzzed before hitting up the clubs. So very loud boisterous crowds plus due to how many people were there service was extremely slow. So don't go on a weekend night unless you took some tylenol first and don't go when you're in a hurry! But do go, I definitely recommend the food. The menu is 70% sushi which I'm not a big fan of but there is also a very good selection of other Japanese dishes to choose from!
