"Sushi Ran is the famous little restaurant mentioned in Michelin Guide and one of Steve Job’s iPhone keynotes. Foodwise, it was good, but not mind blowing. I had the Chirashi, the cuts were fresh and presentation were nice (almost like a French dish). The rice was pretty much perfect and it included some veggies and mushrooms that upped the flaovrs that you might not get elsewhere. It wasn’t overly expensive, but portions were small, maybe about 3/4 the size of the Chirashi at Takara. Adding appetizer’s or desserts, the check will head north quickly. Service, was okay, but only acceptable for a place of such high repute. The shop itself was small, and rather noisy so at times it was hard to carry a conversation. There were also a lot of tourists, so it was crowded even at 1:30 to 2 when we got seated. I think I would go again for dinner instead of lunch, but it’s not a place I would go out of my way for. Might change my mind after eating dinner here."
