In Short
A blisteringly white room, rounded out by bar stools and your own live version of a wa-saaa-bi commercial, RuSan's noisy, bright and brash appeal winds up being a guilty pleasure. Blacklisted by the serious sushi set, it cranks out entry-level, heavily Americanized sushi. The menu reads like a racing form: Mad Max's Special, Flying Kamikaze, Lady Killer. Plenty are fully cooked (grilled or fried) in case you've got some beginners in the crowd.

I gave this place (either location) 5 stars because for me it is one of the most enjoyable places to go grab a bite, and I always look forward to it. It is by far the most fun restaurant to eat in. And (hold your breath snobs), the sushi rules. Granted, I don't eat the traditional sushi here, when I want cold, raw, mostly flavorless fish, I eat it on business trips to San Francisco or New York. If I want food with awesome flavor and texture, this is the place. I wouldn't even call it sushi, I'd call it Awesome Super Happy Funtime Fish. It tastes great, the atmosphere is very fun, and the proprietors are exceedingly gracious and hospitable.

I was born and raised in Japan so trust me...the sushi here is very average, with average neta (ingredients). Its okay for a quick bite to eat and the price is reasonable, but I wouldnt take anyone here for authentic sushi. Oh yeah, the rice is often undercooked and its not flavored as it should be. For authentic sushi try Sushi Yoko in Norcross.

After reading some of the not-so-complimentary reviews on here, I am shocked and appalled at the fact that Certain people have put this Wonderful Restaurant down. I take clients there all the time, and I have never had a bad experience. Ru San, the owner is a pleasant, generous, sweet man and a true artist both with a knife and a brush. I personally own 2 of his paintings and plan on getting more. If you're not up for a party and you would rather sip your green tea in a quiet corner booth with a truncated, boring, "traditional" (not to mention tasteless!) raw fish menu, then by all means, keep your tight-assed self clear of Ru San's. If, however, you love sushi with a ton of choices & twists in addition to other excellent non-raw Japanese cookin' - AND you like to actually PARTY!!! - Then, please, come on down & Step to The Ru!! :) WOO-HOO!!
