| - For what Ru San's is--a cheap place to get decent sushi--it excels. It offers a very happy medium between fancy (and pricey) sushi with impeccable presentations and the stale and often sketchy "to-go" sushi you find in grocery stores.
Here you can find quick service and tasty rolls that won't break the bank. Against all odds, the menu ordered by price (e.g., $1+, $1.5+, $2+) is not only convenient but are of much higher quality that you would expect. As not a huge fan of fish, I was rather excited to see a very palatable and extensive veggie section. It is nice to have options beyond "the veggie roll" and indeed the Veggie Futo Maki legitimately rocked my world.
I will say that the lunch buffet--even at the ridiculously price of like $10 for all you can eat sushi, fried noodles, chicken wings, miso soup, and some other classics--was somewhat of a let down. The rolls are mostly rice, often fried, and contain cream cheese. While all of these are a few of my favorite things (along with whiskers on kittens and raindrops on roses), it makes the meal a bit too heavy for having sushi. Plus, there were no veggie options. Overall the buffet does not do Ru San's justice, so I recommend ordering from the menu.
Finally, it can be a bit cold in there, at least during the summers. Do consider bringing a light sweater.
