Ron Of Japan

I cant believe I have not written about this place before. I have loved their food since the first time I went there years ago. The other night I went to Ron of Japan in the city and as usual it was amazing. Ron of Japan is a teppan style restaurant, which means that they cook the meal at the table you are sitting at, with usually strangers sitting next to you unless you have a group of eight or more. Your plate which is steel sits right there on the grill and as the cook finish each portion he just scoops it on to your plate, some times there is a little theatrics involved. a giant flame or flippin knives and slapping spatulas

Now the eating, the waitress comes out and gives you a fresh towel to clean your hands and face with then takes your order. For dinner I ordered the crown fillet which starts off with some miso soup, delicious, then a salad, which has a spicy thousand island type dressing, also amazing, then the chef comes out with a cart full of meats and sauces, oh and a bucket of butter and egg sauce. The egg sauce which goes on everything is what makes their food so good. I know that it is probably not good for you since it is a heart attack in sauce form but its just so good. First he cooks the shrimp with egg sauce appetizer and then some vegetables everything cooked to perfection. Next maybe my favorite is the beef fried rice which I like to add my grilled veggies too and then dowse it in terryaki sauce and have them put some of the egg sauce in, later after eating some of it I add my main meal. The main plate is the Fillet which is unbelievable and cooked exactly the way I like it. So after trying to even fit all that goodness into my stomach, which normally doesn't happen, but this time I finished it all, there is dessert. Ice creams or pineapple I went with the rocky road. Another overall very enjoyable night out at the old Ron of Japan.
