I've heard some mixed reviews on this place, but I like it. It's well priced and consistently good. The Monday night all you can eat special for $19.95 is a fun deal and a great way to try any of their specialty rolls without being concerned about price.

We never received our bill. Once we asked for it, we were charged for an appetizer we ordered that never came. We were a party of 5 that had a friend meet us there after we were done with our meal. She did not eat or drink however the restaurant took the opportunity to charge us an automatic 22% tip because she was there before we got our bill (automatic 22% tips for parties of 6 or larger). After bringing the issues to the staffs attention, they proceeded to argue with me about it for a while before rectifying the situation. Overall, we barely saw our waitress and with the issues with the bill, service is poor.

I love their "all you can eat" deal with only $20 per person, there are large amount of choices from appetizer, nigiri, and special maki. The only thing that I can pick on is several of my favor maki not on the all you can eat menu, Mango Seafood (has tuna, salmon, mango with avocado outside & raspberry sauce on top, omg, my saliva is dripping).

Got 2 deliveries from Ringo past 2 weeks and both times the food was delivered promptly knowing that they are busy all the time. The delivery person was super friendly and loud. Regardless, the Firecracker Maki was to die for and it's our favorite thing from Ringo. Go RIngo!

I went to Ringo with a Bachelorette party. I had never heard of this place but decided it was a no brainer because it was BYOB and the prices were great. I would recommend this place because the portion sizes are well worth your money and the sushi is great. The waitress was very nice and accomodating to our large group. We booked our party at the last minute and Ringo Sushi was the only place willing to accomodate a group of our size at the last minute, kudos for that. I will definitly revisit this restaurant.

Cool music, smooth/chill ambiance, and the food is consistently great. The menu has a lot of choices: from traditional sushi, interesting but not "over the top" rolls, and the two times I had the teriyaki for a change of pace, it was superb. The skewers are a good idea for an appetizer.
Service is sharp and crisp, (went last night and my water glass alone was refreshed 7 times!!!). They do a good job navigating the set-up, which is tight, but conducive to a great atmosphere. A must go in the City.

We had never been to Ringo but have heard about it through our friends. We went in tonight around 7:30 and it was super busy. We didn't realize we needed a reservation but didn't mind waiting we chatted with the host, for a couple minutes.
We ordered the bacon tomato wraps and scallop skewers which were recommended by our waitress. They were soooo good. It took a little while for our food to get out (busy) but it was worth it.
Our server was attentive and very nice. I don't remember her name but she had pink highlights. The atmosphere was cool. I am definitely going back when I get some extra cash.

Horrible Service, Good Sushi, Terrible Skewers
By jeev7882 from jeev7882, March 10, 2008
- Overall rating:
I have no clue how people gave this place incredible reviews. I actually went there because of the reviews. The atmosphere of the place is great: music loud, but not too loud, an Japanese game show projected on the wall, and an otherwise nice, dimly lit interior.
We ordered sushi and skewers (my fiancee can't stand the texture of sushi). The sushi was good, not great, but good. The seafood was fresh and the prices were reasonable too. But then, then came the skewers, the tiny strips of meat that someone just threw onto the Foreman and dripped some sauce over, or slathered in wasabi. In other words, they were bland and dry.
To make matters worse, the service was terrible. They didn't get us two of the skewers we ordered (even though you write it on a sheet of paper which you hand to them). When we repeatedly told her we ordered two more skewers, she brought us our sheet, we pointed out the "2" for her, and she said she was sorry. Okay, no big deal, people make mistakes. Then came our bill. What? Um, remember how you forgot two skewers? Well, they did...5 minutes after bringing us the bill. But, surprisingly, the only remembered one out of the two skewers, and failed to understand why we didn't want the one skewer.
After we left, we walked across the street to Buffalo Wild Wings to satisfy ourselves. Thank you B-dubs. No thank you Ringo.
