good but not all ingredients listed on menu. we went on a friday night around 7:30 p.m. we were promptly seated and given waters and menus. complimentary edamame, that was just slightly undercooked and undersalted. we each had soup (miso - bland even for miso, and coconut-chicken - broth was excellent). we got three rolls - spicy yellowtail, dublin, and soho. the spicy yellowtail was ground fish mixed with crunch (tempura flakes). the dublin roll was supposed to have "tuna tartar" on the top, which was also ground fish mixed with crunch. i have a gluten intolerance, and this was not mentioned on the menu. the soho roll was outstanding, the fish had a great texture, and was generous. all the rolls were fresh and tasty. we did mention the "crunch problem" to the one server, and he was apologetic, but told us that all of thesushirestaurants are mixing the "spicy" fish with crunch, so he assumed we would know. price was reasonable, especially with faveroo!

this place can't make good rice and therefore theirsushiwill always suffer. would have been a nice lunch except for your damn tv with the volume too high playing a damn boring football game that no one cares about. first rule is that a restaurant with a tv in the dining room can't be a good restaurant.

i will have one okinawa raw fish ball with "fishu" sauce.. "what do you mean they don't cook their fish? they can't serve raw fish!" that question started an education into a whole new continent of the gustatory atlas. one i had not known existed. i had just been pulled out of vietnam and was stationed at camp hansen okinawa, now a prefecture of japan, then a united states protectorate. their cultural heritage was eclectic with mixes of korean, japanese, chinese and every other culture that ever put to sea in the south east asian waters.
the dialogue above came about when a couple of marines in my barracks got lost looking for vice and debauchery ending up in a small town that did not have a lot of military in it and was a working port town. cities that the marines sought out; especially the ones that they sought for liberty, have four essential industries, eating, whoring, drinking and pawning. i believe there were establishments where you could do all four under the same roof and be billed on the same check. "here is your bill jar head-san; one short time, two orion beers and a champagne cocktail, stir fried rice with pork and you will be using your watch and a canned ham from the usa in payment. i will be back with your change and please visit us again." canned hams were gold in both vietnam and okinawa, but i digress.
upon further questioning, my barracks mates maintained they got lost and ended up in the town of heshikiya. they described a place that was not especially welcoming to marines, (wearing civilian clothing did not make us blend in), and they had maybe a hundred little street venders along the seafront selling everything from handkerchiefs to food and one of those little stands sold, "raw fish rolled in seaweed and dipped in soy sauce that tasted like hell". i later found out the sauce was fish sauce.
with a description like that who wouldn't want to rush to heshikiya and try some? as far-fetched as it sounds, i do not believe i had heard ofsushiin 1970. i was born in the south and lived there until age seven. where i was born, the central cooking philosophy was, "if you want it to taste good fry it. if you want to make it better add bacon." then we moved to the central ohio area and i learned about corn-on-the-cob, cube steaks, cheese whiz and bridge mix. if you wanted oriental you went to howard johnson's and ordered the chow mein.
back in heshikiya, okinawa it took several trips to find this one little food stand, (even though there was no stand, just a blanket on the ground with bowls of different stuff including fish and a wooden board), that sold what i later learned was sushi. my friend and i tried some and it was not as disgusting as either of us expected. i don't know what it was but it was not disgusting. we toured the bustling waterfront and got a chance to see the industry of the waterfront while long, thin water taxi's unload people, chickens, turkeys and on one boat two huge bulls. those bulls were not caged, or in the special livestock section because there was none, but right in the isle between seats full of people, kids and your ordinary livestock. this was one of those times when you realize how far from columbus ohio okinawa is.
as we were getting ready to leave, we decided to swing by and try another "okinawa raw fish ball" and we lingered a bit and tried some of the different sauces, as there were four or five. one tasted very fishy and i asked using the universal word for fish, "fishu?" along with a wiggling hand movement, and the vender nodded the universal "yes" and held up a bottle that i could not read but had a picture of a fish and some crabs on it. i took that for the universal sign for "fish sauce".
that was my very first introduction to thesushiexperience but not my last.
recently my wife and i and a couple we often go out with, went to ronin asian bistro for a mother's day celebration. this year has been a mother for all of us and we wanted to celebrate. we chose ronin because of a recommendation from another friend. we are happy we went there.
the bistro is located in dublin and is not easy to spot as it is tucked into the "elbow" of an "l" shaped strip mall near tuttle. it is a modern, open and clean setting and was well lighted. as i age, murky lighting is not so romantic as it once was. they serve liquor, wine, beer, (domestic and asian) and saki. there is asushibar, regular tables and booth seating, as well as patio seating. the service is immediate and attentive. it was obvious that english was not the primary language of the wait staff but with my proficiency in the "universal language" and speaking loudly, we had no problems. the ronin asian bistro has a full menu and it would be hard to imagine not being able to find something here.
as soon as we sat down we were served with edamame and the drink orders were taken. we took a long time going over the menu, as there are a lot of offerings and variations. we ordered eight rolls of which five were different. all were very good. my wife and the couple we were with had the vegetable spring rolls. they were served hot and crunchy and were flavorful. my wife had the sweet potato tempura that she rated as very good. it was crunchy on the outside and both sweet and savory inside. we had three different kinds of hand rolls; two california rolls, a vegas roll, and two funky rolls. each one was excellent, fresh and quite tasty. the presentation was superb.
i want to single out one menu item for special consideration. i had the tobiko. it is a roll with flying fish eggs (where i come from "roe") a piece of avocado, crab or fish, and heaped with flying fish eggs wrapped in nori (dried laver seaweed). i dearly love tobiko. when prepared well it is exquisite with crispness; a mild smoky and salty taste, with a crunchy texture where you can feel the little beads of roe pop under your teeth. it can also be a taste travesty and one of the worstsushiexperiences i had was with tobiko. if not relatively fresh (almost 100% of tobiko is shipped to japan for processing and shipped back to the usa.), it will be sludgy, overwhelmingly fishy and even bitter. it is not a pleasant experience and in my case almost surely caused illness. but this was not a problem with ronin asian bistro.
their tobiko is crisp delicious and well presented. the nori is tightly wrapped and that is important when dealing with something as small and delicate as tobiko. the tobiko was in two colors, orange and black. tobiko is naturally orange but is often dyed with squid ink to make it black. the contrasting color, orange and black, adds to the presentation of the plate and does nothing to harm the taste. i heartily recommend the tobiko at ronin asian bistro.
this review has been great for my understanding of okinawa. when i checked to see what thesushicultural tradition was on okinawa, i found thatsushiis almost unheard of on okinawa even today. then i realized that heshikiya was the only place on okinawa that i ever saw one piece of anything resembling sushi. further investigation found that heshikiya is primarily a fishing port and the fishermen that put in there are the japanese fishing fleet. i was puzzled and just last night i suddenly made a connection. i wonder if that "food stand" was using the same business plan as the eatery in the capitol of okinawa, naha, that advertised "chicago pizza", or the place right outside the camp hansen gate that called itself "bergerking" (you may have to say it out loud to understand it) and offered a "hamberger" called the big whopper. serving tourists what they want is always a sound business strategy. go try them.

simply the best. ronin is our go to spot for sushi... the place is always clean, including the restrooms. even though some staff members do not always completely understand what you are asking for, be patient, and they will. the specialties rolls are amazing, the samurai is our favorite. the presentation is like no other. the fish is always fresh and delicious and i cannot get enough of their wonton soup- its better than grandmas chicken noodle. the fried chicken is also great quality white meat chicken, so even ifsushiis not your forte, you will find something on the menu to satisfy you. eat here! give them the business and devotion they need. help small businesses thrive. and keep in mind, this food is healthy, if you choose wisely.

worst dining experience ever. simple. i had been here before and loved the food. went for lunch this time and left early to give ourselves extra time (20 minutes till 1 o'clock)...either everyone in columbus did the same or this place could not handle a lunch rush.

first let me say thesushiis very good (from previous experiences) but it is about as good as sushiko (north of 270 north) or a couple of othersushiplaces in columbus. read: you can get equally as goodsushielsewhere. very fresh, good texture and great "signature rolls".

we arrived and waited 20 minutes before we could get a table..half the tables were empty and all were dirty. once we were seated (now 1:00) it took 10 minutes before we were asked what we wanted to drink (now 1:10)...we said we were ready to order and placed our order immediately...very standard...

2 shrimp tempura bento boxes, 1 salmon avocado roll, 1 spicy salmon roll...very simple, very basic items...

it was at this point that we noticed that none of the tables that had people sitting at them were eating. 15 minutes later food came out for a couple of those tables (now 1:30)...it took another 5 minutes for us to get salad (now 1:35)...at 1:45 we stood and left since we had to be back at the office at 2:00...when we left they said our food was ready and we said we had to go...

no apology to us, no offer to take money off and give it to us to go, no manager card for a future visit, didn't even ask us to leave a name or number to contact us later to offer incentive to return. we did not ask for anything, but they should have offered...poor management and actually the worst dining experience i have ever had. i will go to sushiko from now on.

we even left friends sitting there who were able to wait. they have said that when the food came, it was poor quality and tasted very bland.

ronin - shame on you for not taking care of a repeat customer. at least an apology would have been nice. you could have asked if we need to take it to go when you realized it had been over an hour that we had been there...for lunch?!?

two thumbs way down...and never to return...

great unique sushi. we try to go to as many newsushiplaces as possible. this is definitely the least expensivesushiplace we have been to, and one of the two best in the city. it surprises me that there are never many people in there, but everyone to whom i have recommended it loves it too. maybe it its too hidden in the back off the main road, but i encourage people to go there so that it doesn't close. they have very unique rolls and you get free edamame before your meal. they also have pictures of all the rolls, which makes it easier and more interesting. i highly recommend this place.

bestsushiin town. i've been to most of thesushiplaces in columbus and i have to say, that ronin is arguably the bestsushiin town! haiku might have it beat with it's upscale modern atmosphere and interior design, but ronin is the best sushi. and the owners are very nice people who truly care about your experience being great. the only problem might be the space is a little small, but that is one thing i love about it. but the main attraction at ronin is the sushi. any fresher and it would still be in the ocean i believe is the expression. the selection of regular rolls, specialty rolls, and other asian cuisine is vast and impressive. there is something here for everyone. the specialty rolls are absolutely insane and the flavors melt in your mouth. truly an amazing experience. and then the presentation! they should win an award for presentation, the rolls are exquisitely constructed and the specialty rolls are works of art that should be on display in an art hall! can't say enough great things about this place. you need to go if you want the most amazingsushiyou've ever had.

bestsushiin columbus. we stumbled upon this little place in dublin when it first opened because of a newspaper flyer write-up. we are so glad we did and quite frankly don't ever getsushianywhere else anymore!

first, the service is impeccable. the waitress is very attentive and now that we are regulars, knows exactly what my son wants before we even have a chance to order.

secondly, and more importantly is the sushi. it is wonderful! we are admittedly very picky when it comes tosushiand it takes a great menu with good variety and uniqueness and rolls that are skillfully made to make us visit an establishment more than once. this place has it all. we highly recommend the firecracker and the hawaii rolls as they are delicious. we have probably tried 8-10 different rolls, however, and have never found one that we didn't like.

this place beats out anything else that the dublin/powell area has to offer and it is better than several of the places on high street in downtown columbus as well.

you must try this place. if you weren't already convinced, they have amazing happy hour specials until 6:30 monday --> saturday and you can feed your family of 3 greatsushifor under $50!

yum!. i was greeted by a nice lady who quickly scooped up a menu and ushered me outside to sit on the patio. the menu is heavy onsushiwith plenty of other asian chices for those who are notsushipeople. i was drooling over thesushichoices when i came to the thai section, peanut curry jumped right off the page and that was my pick. the server accomodated my request to sub onion for the green peppers with a smile and soon returned with a huge bowl of curry and a large scoop of rice. i spooned out slices of chicken, potato, broccoli, asparagus, snow peas, and onions along with the creamy peanut and coconut milk sauce. the smell was wonderful and my first bite was even better. the service was prompt, friendly, and the chef even came out to my table to ask if i enjoyed his food. i can't wait to go back and try more of the offerings from their large menu.
