Ranzan is a restaurant that offers a Japanese kaiseki dining experience with four different course options. The service is consistently praised for being great, with friendly staff and a quiet environment, making it a suitable place for a date night. The food served is generally considered delicious, using simple ingredients prepared to perfection. However, the ambiance of the restaurant has been described as odd, with an unusual combination of colors and textures.
The restaurant's kaiseki courses range from $158 for 12 courses to $288 for 15 courses, with an additional supplement option. For instance, the Ohara course for $158 includes dishes like homemade tofu, spring veggies sukiyaki style, asparagus soup, sashimi, simmered duck, shiso sorbet, A5 Wagyu sirloin, steamed rice and fish, seared octopus, rice with clams, miso soup, and mochi with red bean filling. However, the wait times between courses have been criticized for being too long, sometimes taking 2.5 hours for the shortest meal.
The sushi kaiseki menu has been tried twice, and while the service and food are decent, the price has been considered too high for the quality of ingredients provided. Overall, Ranzan offers a unique dining experience with excellent service, but the wait times between courses and the high prices might not be worth it for some customers. A 20% gratuity is automatically added for parties larger than six.
