Ronin Japanese - Croydon

I have waited 23 minutes for nothing at all. Focus on the negative comments here as they are true.

Seriously how is this restaurant hiding in Croydon? It is local to me so it feels like a great gift. Authentic, high quality Japanese food that is hard to find in the run of the mill food places. The food preparation, presentation and flavours are excellent. No need to travel into the city or over the Bridge, this place is great.

Great quality food in a simple restaurant with BYO from the cellars next door.

Don't eat here if you expect value for money. The food tastes nice enough, very standard, but the portion sizes are about 60-80% of a normal Japanese restaurant, and they left out one of the sides. When we asked the manager about the portion size, he very patronisingly said that the serves had always been like that and pointed out the prices of the raw ingredients as an explanation. Ok, I can understand that the raw ingredients are expensive, but other restaurants seem to manage just fine. We were very disappointed and won't buy from here again.

Great BYO Japanese restaurant and reasonable price.
