BEST Japanese Restaurant!

I only make it to Chicago once every few years – and I ALWAYS go to Rons! It is the standard by which I judge all other Japanese restaurants. The food is just amazing, the ambiance is great, and I just all-around love going. If you’re going to go, you at least have to get the Shrimp – the put a very unusually egg sauce on it that can’t be beat (and that I’ve never found anyplace else). I highly recommend the Shogun dinner.

Must Experience Ron of Japan!!

My boyfriend took me here for our second date and to this date it remains one of our favorite places. It is expensive but well worth it. It is best to make a reservation, but you do not always have to call days in advance to do so. It is great for large parties and couples dining if you do not mind being seated at a table with others. The chef cooks on a large flat grill right in front of you. The chefs are all friendly and great cooks! I highly suggest getting any seafood entree, my personal favorite is the lobster tail. My boyfriend always gets the showgun which is steak and lobster, he does not even like lobster but LOVES it here. They top off their seafood with a egg sauce that is not the best for your cholesterol but takes amazing! And of course you can ask for the dish without it or add it onto another dish. They have a full stocked bar to keep you occupied during your wait and tall tables with televisions as well because this place is always packed and be sure to keep your eye out, a lot of local professional athletes love to eat here. It is a favorite among locals! The super Mai Tais are great and only one will do you justice. Every dish comes with a salad and a choice of ice cream or fresh pineapple as desert. I’ve never been able to finish my meal and it makes great left overs!
