I had the impression that this place has undergone some changes, as all my favorite menu items are no longer available, which is quite disheartening. It seems to have transitioned into more of a quick sushi spot with a concise menu, spanning just one page front and back. This new menu primarily focuses on various sushi rolls, with the salmon lemon roll being a noteworthy exception and quite delicious. Strangely, there isn 't even a drink menu, which is a departure from the norm. It no longer gives off the vibe of an authentic Japanese restaurant in my opinion. The katsu curry was a bit underwhelming, particularly due to the limited vegetables in the curry sauce, despite being priced at $20 T...

The restaurant has recently changed management, and it's evident in the quality of the food. We've ordered from here twice since it reopened, and both times we've been disappointed with dishes we used to love. I would now classify it as offering mall-quality Japanese cuisine. The teriyaki steak don was overcooked on both occasions, lacking flavor with a thin sauce, and the takeout packaging was a mess. This dish used to come with a side salad, but apparently, that’s no longer the case. We also ordered tempura shrimp and received just three small pieces. Unfortunately, this place used to be a family favorite, and we would go weekly, but we’ve decided not to return, which is truly disappointin...

Have been a long time customer (20 years) and the visit last weekend was such a disappointment. As others have said the menu is missing so many of the favorites that made Renga Tei special from other Japanese restaurants. Also was upset to see bento boxes are lunch only! The food was definitely not as good. The tempura was terrible and the sushi actually would fall apart when picking it up. That would never happen under the previous ownership. It's such a shame that we will no longer go back unless we see the reviews say things have gotten better and the menu puts back those old favorites. All good things come to an end and this looks like it for us with Renga Tei

This is the best Japanese restaurant for miles, with the best sushi rice, and has been so for two decades that we have fed there. Every meal we get there is the best meal we had in a long time.
