Ryuko South - Japanese Kitchen + Bar

The food was exceptional, with every dish bursting with flavor. What truly stood out was the outstanding service from the waitress, Leia. She was incredibly efficient, attentive, and polite, ensuring me had everything I needed throughout the evening. Her professionalism added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Highly recommend Reyuko for both its delicious food and excellent service!

Probably the best meal I've had in awhile. Everyone their, the front staff, kitchen, bar and servers should be extremely proud of how well this place is ran. The food wasn't just awesome it was perfect. Our waitress was amazing friendly polite and came the perfect amount of times. Our drinks were incredible, yes they were pricey, but 100% worth it. I did some plumbing here awhile back in there kitchen and it's the one reason I chose this place is how clean and well kept it was behind the scenes. Give it a shot you won't regret it!

Atmosphere is so neat, simple, yet fancy, clean Such a great service too, good food, I am just not that kind of person who eats small portions for higher prices. But fair, it is high quality really, must try to know the difference Also, the Wasabi is like nothing anywhere else, seemed more real for sure. Not as the fake as everywhere else. Highly recommended, myself not gonna do it again I love Sushi can't keep up with the high prices

Had a lovely birthday dinner at the West location in the Christie. Our server Andy was great with recommendations, very attentive and service was quick, but we didn't feel rushed at all. All the dishes we ordered were fantastic. The tuna/salmon carpaccio, the veggie tempura was so light and served with their house made miso salt. We ordered a few rolls and nigiri as well, the highlight being the pressed sushi sablefish, it was served with a delicious sauce. My new favourite dish for sure. We finished with the yuzu pavlova and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere is cozy and cute, we sat at the bar and watched the chefs at work. Next time I may like to try the 9 piece bento box, it looked like a work of art. Overall a fantastic addition to the west end of the city.

What a delightful experience! the premium nigiri melts in your mouth, very fresh and really good! been here many times and always top-notch. The staff are also very friendly and accommodating. Shout out to the chef who served our premium nigiri today, very friendly.

Our favourite Japanese restaurant! Ryuko always provides an incredible experience! The food is simply delicious, with a wide variety of traditional Japanese dishes that are bursting with flavor. Not only is the food exceptional, but the service is always top-notch. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They go above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience is enjoyable and memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant is equally impressive. The decor is tastefully done, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. It is the perfect setting to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Overall, I highly recommend this Japanese restaurant to anyone who appreciates authentic and delectable Japanese cuisine, accompanied by exceptional service. We cannot wait to visit again!

We had a wonderful experience at Ryuko. Having been to Japan this past spring we were eager to have a meal that brought us back. The atmosphere was perfect, very clean and simple, but also elegant and inviting with lots of natural light. I got a cocktail, and my patented got the mocktail. Both were fresh and tangy, I liked the mocktail better actually. For food I got the udon, while my partner got the katsu. The upon noodles were thick and had the perfect amount of chew to them. The mushrooms and broth were fantastic and I ate absolutely everything. The katsu was crispy and tender. The show stopper was by far the assorted sashimi platter. We ordered the 15 piece platter, but it came with 17 anyways. Our server walked us through each fish on the plate, telling us which were from Japan, which were dry aged etc.. As a sashimi lover, I have never had more tender salmon, it was thick and flavorful, and just melted in your mouth. The fatty blue fin tuna was amazing as well and reminded both of us more of beef than fish. Overall we had a wonderful experience and meal here. We will be back again for sure. Easy to locate and plenty of parking as well.

Highly recommend! The atmosphere is so clean, modern, calming, relaxing, and zen! Just love the boho feel of it. Love the sushi bar in the middle and how you can actually watch the chef make the food. Our server was Stacy, and she was over-the-top amazing! So friendly and approachable! She was knowledgeable about the food and describing what was unique about the dish and how we should we it and her recommendations were on point! Whenever I go back, I would totally want Stacy to be our server! We had the bibimbap and the nori puree was sooooooo amazing! It was brilliant! So beautiful! A piece of art! The scallop roll was tasty! The highlight was the other 2 rolls! My husband said this was the best sushi he has ever had-this is coming from someone who loves sushi and has had ALOT of sushi. I would agree with him too. I think for the price, the quality is exceptional! I just wish the restaurant was close to us because then it would be our go-to restaurant. Unfortunately, we live near the airport and it was 40 minutes away from us, but we will do our best to visit when we can! The yuzu cocktail was so fun and so tasty! It's like juice! Dangerous! I could literally have 6 cups! Thank you for such a memorable time! 💖
