RONIN - Merchant Reviews

RONIN is the most well-known izakaya in Hong Kong, having opened in 2013. RONNIN has no store signs, no advertising, and has been in business for many years, and its popularity has not diminished. In the 2018 Asia's 50 Restaurant Rankings, RONIN was ranked 41st, which is very rare for an izakaya to receive such recognition.

RONIN'S CHEF HAILS FROM NORTH AMERICA, AND HE IS THE ONLY JAPANESE RESTAURANT CHEF ON THIS LIST WHO IS NOT RUN BY JAPANESE OR HONG KONG CHEFS. After working at Masa, one of New York's most famous high-end Japanese restaurants, the head chef of Ronin opened his own yakitori restaurant, Yardbird, in Central, and now RONIN. Yardbird is more cost-effective, while RONIN is an upgraded version, focusing on seafood and alcohol, and the per capita consumption has also increased to a new level.

RONIN, WHICH IS THE JAPANESE WORD FOR "RONIN", COMPARES THE CHEF TO A WANDERING SAMURAI, AND HIS BOLD AND CHEERFUL TEMPERAMENT IS REFLECTED IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF HIS RESTAURANT AND THE DISHES HE PRESENTS. RONIN does not adopt a streamlined catering operation, the chef personally goes to the local market in Hong Kong every day to select the ingredients used for the day, the fresh fish and side dishes are different every day, the repetition rate of dishes is also quite low, and the regulars will not lack freshness. Flower crab sea urchin is one of RONIN's famous dishes, and it is the top of the popular dishes, and the crab shell is filled with delicious crab meat and sea urchin, which has the dual advantages of weight and appearance, and is delicious and delicious. The sashimi of the day is made from fresh seafood, pre-treated and served with Chef RONIN's homemade sauce. We recommend trying the Testing Menu, a nine-course menu with a different taste experience.

Ronin, which calls itself an izakaya, has an extensive wine list that includes shochu, sake, fruit wine, red wine, and cocktails, as well as more than 50 types of famous Japanese whiskies. In such a delicious and comfortable izakaya, it is the perfect place to have a glass of pure whisky to relieve the fatigue of the day.

RONIN IS ONLY OPEN AT NIGHT AND HAS A SMALL RESTAURANT THAT ONLY SERVES ABOUT A DOZEN SEATS A DAY. It is advisable to book in advance, and if it is a walk in, it is up to luck to see if there is a place. It is easy to miss the RONIN store without a signboard, so it is recommended to use a map app to navigate there.
