If you're looking for Japanese food, Ru San's is not the place to go. I had heard about the place because it's popular with many Emory students, but the first time I stepped in the place, I knew it wasn't going to be Japanese food that was served that night. First of all, the atmosphere is nothing resembling a real sushi bar. Bright yellow colors, loud music blaring from the speakers, a little too trendy for my tastes. And then, the sushi. The rice was rubbery and the filling definitely was not fresh. Many of the items on the menu were a result of fusion of sushi with some other sort of cuisine, and while that is acceptable, the quality of the sushi was down right horrible, fusion or no fusion. If you're just looking to do sake bombs though, I hear it's the place to go.
