RONIN

Awesome spot…if you can find it.

A different take on modern Japanese food. Quite good raw and cooked dishes, and a fantastic sake and beer collection. They even have their own Yardbird sake (this is the same group as the fabulous yardbird as well)

Great bar/restaurant. Food although excellent is very expensive however drinks were both excellent and reasonable.

Essentially an upscale izakaya with small, medium, large plates of food. Nice vibe and ambience, great staff!
Overall food was good – loved the sashimi, pigeon, tempura anago, kagoshima beef to name a few!
The uni and crabmeat dish looked really good but disappointed me somewhat – felt the uni could be fresher!

Great food, cocktails and service. The sashimi was fabulous. A perfect evening!

Not sure if that was completely worth the price. Starts off with making you hunt for the place as there is no sign of windows. Look for the 8 On Wo Lane sign that is actually lit, Ronin is the sliding grey door directly to the right of that with a small wooden handle. After that little adventure we were greeting with a very knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Go for the tasting menu if it’s your first time there as you’ll probably end up spending that much anyways. Overall very pricey for what it is in my opinion but the excellent service makes up for that. No table dining here just bar seating all around.

Izakaya meets speakeasy. Superb food, albeit comes at a price. Great service. I’d give it 5 stars, but for two sight gripes: given the prime seating is around the bar, very little actually happens there so it feels a little anticlimactic; and no craft beer choices (yes, I get that it’s trying to be Japanese in style – so import some decent ones, not the mass produced flavourless stuff that can be picked up anywhere in the world).

Ronin is a Japanese izakaya tapas restaurant that serves mainly seafood in a creative fashion. While it is undeniable the dishes were creative, it most certainly is not worth the prices they charged. I have travelled to Japan extensively and could tell straight away that the fish was not sliced properly and was therefore overly chewy. Sometimes the flavoring overwhelmed the fish itself which probably makes sense as the fish may not have been the freshest. All in all, I did not think that this restaurant deserves the acclaim it has and certainly the price point is totally misguided.

Mixed results.

Exceptional food in a cosy sapce

Really cool place, entrance is hidden as the restaurant is completely unlabeled. And you must slide open a grey looking door. Food was good, cocktails were good. A little pricey.

Wonderfully surprising

This is amazing JP food. Ask for chief recommend menu .

The most innovative & delicious eating experience i have ever had the pleasure to enjoy..The team so welcoming, friendly & professional..made it so easy to relax …always anticipating with excitement what taste sensations each course would bring. Presentation & flavours were beautiful, subtle & precise. The confidence, knowledge & history the bartender & floor team willingly shared with any diner about the drinks & food offered was outstanding..their genuine passion to share this knowledge is something i have never encountered before. Very entertaining watching the bartender!! & never too busy to explain what he was doing when we asked. Well done Ronin!! Be back for sure..Jeannie Christian-O’Rourke

Special daily menu. Can be pricey.

I visited Ronin this evening with some friends. I will *never* return and I recommend that you avoid this establishment. I was horribly embarassed when the waiter instructed us to wait outside in the street if we wanted to be served drinks (eventually). We were a presentable group of four professionals and had gone to Ronin for a high-quality whisky after dinner, before parting ways and going home. I was hugely embarassed and we left immediately.

One of my favorite omakase restaurants in hk

Amazing izakaya and seafood restaurant. Had the market tasting menu. Loved the flower crab with uni, Kagoshima beef and fresh sashimi.

Cozy place for sake and small dishes. Great service.

Wow! Secret bar with awesome food which is opened until midnight. No name tag on the street. Good luck finding. It is definetly worth it.

I had a great experience! It’s not traditional Japanese, but more of a fusion. I especially enjoyed the sashimi platter and the uni with panko bread crumbs. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and other guests seemed to be having a comfortable dining experience. I think I’d be able to come here by myself for a drink as well. However, the last dish, the yaki-udon, the noodles weren’t cooked through and a bit hard for my liking. For those who ordered the yaki-udon you may want to ask the staff about the texture!

This was such a special and intimate experience. The food is amazing and the staff so welcoming and friendly. How cool! Can’t wait to go back when next in Hong Kong

After the horrible disappointments at Michelin rated restaurants (including Bo Innovation), Ronin is a triumph, combining a beatnick/speakeasy environment with knowledgeable and approachable staff. Oh yeah…and the food rocks. I can’t tell you how happy I am that this type of place exists in Hong Kong. From the bar tender to the wait staff to the chefs in the kitchen, it is clear that every single person who works at Ronin is passionate about their craft.

Delicious oysters

Ronin was the last place my wife and I ate before leaving Hong Kong and I am so happy that we left the best for last.

This is the only place in Hong Kong where the waiters and bartenders could reliable give us recommendations on the food and drinks, while taking into consideration subtle nuances of our palate along with our interest in trying new things.
