1025 Ruyi Japanese Steak House Restaurant - (Near Watertown, NY)

5 /5 Cypphire: This was my husband first time here, and were not sure if we got super lucky or what, but the sushi quality was exceptional. I have been to many sushi places, and this was the best by far. We had 6 specialty rolls, which were perfectly balanced and well portioned. It almost rivaled an omakase. The fish quality was delicate, especially the tuna. It didnt have a sharp or strong fish taste to it. I usually like ginger or some wasabi on sushi, but I could not care for it here. There would usually be one roll we would consider mediocre, but not here. My husband got the Thousand Island roll and it had me jealous it was on his plate. The portion are bigger than the average sushi size, so we thought we may have regretted ordering 6 specialty rolls, until we realized how good everything was. As we were getting full, we were sad about struggling with the last few pieces. No worries, no sushi left behind! The service was excellent. Heck, even the napkins quality almost felt like nice towel. The bill came out to $140 (not including tip), no regrets. I was not expecting to find a hole in the wall in Watertown NY out of all places

3 /5 Katarzyna McFearson: Spouse and I came to Ruyi Japanese Steak House Thursday night and we were surprised how packed it was! We had a small wait time to get seated but once we did, everything was prompt. Our check at the end was over $100; however, we believe that for the quality and the amount served to us, it made sense.

4 /5 Sarah Harris: If you’re looking for better sushi in Watertown definitely recommend coming here! Of all the places I’ve been to in the area, it’s the best. Only downside is the price definitely reflects that, so if you’re someone looking for cheaper eats maybe not the best place. Looking at $20-$30 per person for an app + meal no drinks. $30-$40 with drinks. Specialty sushi rolls range from $15-$25, with the majority at the $20 price point which is a bit on the pricey side. Again totally worth it if you’re craving more quality sushi. Place and cute, service was great, and wait-time of food was super short! Appetizers and meal were perfectly paced. I know they offer hibachi but I have yet to try it. The boba here was also very good. Automatic tip on parties 6 and up.
