893 Ryōtei is one of those places that grabs your attention before you even step inside. The entrance is super low-key — blink and you’ll miss it — which weirdly adds to the charm. It sets the vibe right away: cool, edgy, kind of mysterious.
Inside, the atmosphere is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s definitely aiming for that moody, intimate feel, but honestly, it’s dark. Like, squinting-at-the-menu dark. And the table setup’s a little cramped — not ideal if you’re sharing a bunch of dishes, which you’ll probably want to do here. We spent a lot of time rearranging plates just to make space.
Food-wise? No complaints. Everything we tried was super fresh, well-made, and packed with flavor. But heads up: portions are small. We had to order extra just to feel like we’d actually had dinner. So don’t come starving unless you’re ready to shell out a bit more.
The real standout was the service — the staff were awesome. Super friendly, knew the menu inside and out, and happy to walk us through it all. That kind of attention always makes a difference.
One weird thing: the timing of dishes was way off. Mains showed up before the starters, and not even at the same time. My plate came way earlier than my partner’s, and then the appetizers rolled in late. Definitely not what you expect from a place at this price point.
Speaking of which — yeah, it’s pricey. You’re paying for quality and style, but between the portion sizes and the uneven pacing, it doesn’t exactly scream great value.
