Ryuu Japanese Kitchen (ubc)

New food location here at UBC and of course I had to try it out. The restaurant was very clean and had very good COVID 19 precautions set up with electronic little hand sanitizing bottles set up at the entrance and payment counter. The server was nice and very direct. The overall environment while in the environment was very comfortable. They had quite the variety of food on their menu and at affordable prices considering campus food prices. The menu was large, not overcrowded with menu items, and easy to follow. I ordered Bento Box A with beef (roughly $14) to go. I went at around 3pm on a Sunday, there were a few tables inside and I waited for just over 10 minutes for my food, which was a little longer than I had expected. The packaging for takeout was pretty meticulous with everything being packed nicely in a large brown paper bag. The food was the typical bento box style food but everything was quite tasty. The beef to rice ratio was a bit lacking but the beef had adequate flavor and the added tamago (sweet eg) was a nice bonus. The California rolls were pretty good and the assorted tempura was light and did not leave an oily taste layer in my mouth. Overall, a pretty good first experience here at this new establishment on campus. I will be back to try one of their curries.

Simply the best Japanese food restaurant in the area. Price is affordable and does not break your budget. Customer service is awesome as she was patient in waiting for my order. Would definitely share with my friends and will be back.

This is a place which you can have a Japenese meal with affordable price. I like their Niku Udon soup and agedashi tofu; the udon is so chewy and the soup is light, but flavorful. The takoyaki and ebi fry are just average.

Feel not welcome from the owner of this restaurant. She commanded me to put me water bottle under the table even there is nothing in the bottle. According to her restaurant?s ? law? these is no outside beverages? then I said I will choose other restaurants. She responded great!

Good prices, quick with the food. place is small and cute. waitresses checked up on us regularly
