RUKA Boston Reviews
The Ambiance was lovely.
It was my birthday and the staff was very accommodating and kind. I could've tried everything on the menu but the crispy rice was my favorite.
This was the highlight of our Boston trip.
The food here was so amazing and the service was impeccable. The place is very nicely decorated and they play really good music. The food was really good. We had a few rolls, the wagyu skewers, the picaña, and the fried rice. The fried rice came wi

Great ambiance! Loved the selection on the menu but nothing we had wowed us. The service is fine except the waitress didn't bring our spicy mayo until the end of the meal when we already ate our rolls despite asking twice. the dessert was very m

We ordered 3 dishes to share between the two of us - spicy tuna roll, tako meshi (octopus fried rice with sweet potato crispy wafers), and hot salmon fritas (salmon ceviche like topping on crispy sushi rice which had almost like hash brown effect). W

Stunning restaurant downtown Boston! Fun menu from great sushi choices to Chicken Wings with Fried Rice, which was our choice to share. Tempted with sushi, but two wings were HUGE and we weren't that hungry. Prompt and friendly server; we left h
Ruka has extraordinary food with unique and delicious
Ruka has extraordinary food with unique and delicious flavors, a neat dining area and vibe, however, the service was slow and almost rude at points. We had a fantastic meal and would absolutely recommend, but the service was three steps behind every
Dark spot with very unique decor.
Similar to tapas or dim sum. Lots of small shareable plates. The service is not the best. Slow to greet us and quite a wait to take our order. Food was slowly arrive too. Setting and meal were very good. I love the space. We loved every dis

My daughter took me to RUKA back in July this year and I instantly fell in love with this place and went back twice in one week. An eclectic menu blending Japanese and Peruvian cuisines. There are many unique items on the menu that I never tired orde
Great experience from the moment we walked in.
The decor is stunning - so colorful and textured, fun and festive! All staff was friendly and efficient. Our server, Benito, was absolutely terrific and make some great suggestions. Interesting menu, portions were great for sharing. Yuzu Beef with
Enjoyed our visit to Ruka.
We went on a Sunday night and restaurant was very crowded and lively. Well thought out decor. Good drinks and food with interesting takes on both. Expansive menu with decent sized portions. Service attentive during the meal with very nice pacing of s
Excellent service.
Excellent food. Excellent experience. Our server was Manuela (guessing on correct spelling). She was polite, attentive and wonderful. She gets 5 out of 5 stars. We had reservations for 5pm on a Sunday, when they open. I was celebrating my weddi
Tried Ruka for dinner recently after attending a conference
Tried Ruka for dinner recently after attending a conference in Boston and it was so delish! The vibes were immaculate. Great music, beautiful decor inside the restaurant that nodded to the fusion of Peruvian and Japanese culture, and wonderful serv
This sushi place is a hidden gem.
The rolls were creative and delicious. The miso soup was a nice touch. Staff were friendly. Prices were reasonable. Will return.
Great sushi spot.
The fish was fresh and the rolls were creative. The spicy tuna roll was a hit. Service was friendly. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend.
A tasty treat.
Not a particularly warm welcome from the host. A smile would not have gone a miss. The food was great. Super tasty and very well presented. We had 4 dishes between two of us and it was more than enough. The cocktails were nice too! I would have l
Holy smokes, I can't say enough how good this
Holy smokes, I can't say enough how good this was! Excellent service and a well-stocked bar. Ceviche = delicious But the star was the Yucca Wasabi Puffs.

RUKA is a top notch establishment that you definitely don't want to miss out on! Immaculate vibes, delicious flavors, and excellent service from start to finish. I had the Hawaiian Crunch Roll, the Bobo chicken, and the Chicken Fried Rice -- all
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Boston.
I come here so often people recognize me lol i almost had my birthday here too actually i met Tony behind the bar before he got promoted as the general manager. Very well spoken and good at explaining the menu. He is very reserved and calm. I have
Great vibe
I got takeout here while staying at the adjoining Godfrey hotel and when I went inside to pick it up I wished that we had dined in. Very cool vibe and beautiful restaurant. I was surprised how nice and trendy it was. Friendly hostess and the food was
Tried Ruka for the first time and was pleasantly surprised
Tried Ruka for the first time and was pleasantly surprised -- the food was so good! I can see why it's such a popular spot for birthday celebrations, the atmosphere feels special without being stuffy. Love the Tea service! Highly recommend endi
My wife and I came in for an early dinner after a matinee
My wife and I came in for an early dinner after a matinee show at the Opera House. Ruka is only a few doors down. Even though it was early the dining room was busy and I'm glad we had a reservation. Our server was amazing and came around regular
Modern fusion restaurant with trendy decor.
We stopped for calamari and a couple of rolls. Well developed flavors on crunchy calamari of pleasant light lime marinade - delicious. Sushi was delightful with easy rice and fresh fish. The dinner service was somewhat slow and not overly considerat
Calling this Peruvian Japanese fusion feels like a stretch,
Calling this Peruvian Japanese fusion feels like a stretch, but the food is good and super flavorful, nothing is bad, and it's vibey. One of the better places in Boston.
the tofu sushi was so good as well as the cheese sticks.
they came with a delish sauce. very cool vibe of a restaurant and presentation of food was fun.
Peruvian Japanese restaurant. Great ambiance. Delicious, well presented and tasty food. Everything we tried was great. Good service.
Very average
Restaurant look and vibe are really cool. Unfortunately, this didn’t extend to the food. Which I’d describe as average at best. Lacking in flavor and depth. Ordered several dishes and none hot the spot. I’m a real hater of cilantro, despite not
Great diner
Great location and really cosy atmosphere. Styling of the restaurant is great. Food was really good at a fair price point. Staff was excellent
Worst experience I’ve had in Boston
Hands down the worst experience I’ve had in Boston—RUKA not only disappointed with underwhelming food, but also showcased appalling service and basic human disregard. This is the first time I’ve ever felt compelled to leave a review on any pla
Rustic place with awesome ambiance and delicious peruvian food
It's a delightful dining place, has rustic ambiance, great music, delicious food, and awesome customer service. Most people have reservations. However, the host was kind enough to seat us for a couple of hours without a reservation. They have l
Get a variety - from squash to ceviche & wagyu
A blend of gourmet Peruvian & Japanese flavors that will not disappoint. From rolls to ceviche, Ruka plays with your taste buds without overpowering- close to perfect blend of ingredients. Tapas style to share, and options to add more to a di
Absolute Yum
Well, I didn’t think Japanese Peruvian fusion sounded appetizing, but we are staying at the Godfrey and after a long day walking around Boston, we didn’t feel like hunting for a place to eat dinner. So glad we gave it a shot! The food was amazin
Excellent innovative food, great décor, chaotic service.
Our recent visit was our second. We came back because the food is great despite our first visit being a service disaster. This is effectively a tapas style meal and last time we asked, and were assured that, everything would be coursed out two at a t
Amazing ambiance, food and cocktails.
Went for my birthday. First time visiting Boston. Went to a lot of top tier restaurants during this trip and this one was one of the best.
The sushi rolls are by far my favorite thing on the menu.
Truly a foodie's paradise. It's hard to find Peruvian fusion sushi rolls and this place hit the spot. Very cool decor too! Insta-worthy!

If you're reading this and you ate at a two-spot on 7/16 around 6pm, admired our cheese sticks, and wished you could have shared our Big Fish sundae with us (incredibly delicious) we regret having to hop quickly and wish we could have been friends!!
Really liked the aesthetic of the place itself.
It's a dim and it's giving mystical. Haha We walked in and the host asked if we had a reservation which we didn't but they were still able to accommodate my 6 person party. I'm guessing by that question that there are times where if you do not have a
This place has a "tapas" style menu.
I'd say 5 plates for 2 people is a pretty good start, which is what our waiter recommended. The portions and price are good for Boston. I've seen worse. My favorite is the ceviche dish. I'd come back just to order 3 plates of that for myself. Recomme

I have been eying this place for such a long time and I'm so glad I finally made a reservation! First, the restaurant itself is located in a pretty fun area (right near Chinatown). The interior is funky - there are so many textures and colors and it
Food: Well portions and great flavor combinations.
My favorite was the Japanese fried chicken, just enough crispiness and flavor where it was sweet tangy added with the spicy mayo sauce on the side was just perfect. Each of the sushi presented its own combination, where texture and flavor sat really
Food, drinks, everything was soooooo good.
I'm a vegetarian and found plenty of delicious options full of flavor. Definitely recommend.
RUKA is so cool.
The vibe is fantastic but the food is what really steals the show. The fried chicken was spectacular. The ceviche was amazing. All 4 of the rolls we tried were outstanding.
We visited Ruka on Saturday.
We had reservations but decided to sit at the bar. The bar is always the best IMO We had a wonderful bartender/server named Lucas. he knew the menu inside and out. My boyfriend and I had lots of questions about the food, but Lucas never seemed anno
what a crappy service
actually we are here at the Godfrey (#408, 409). We are a family with 3 Kids (17,12,4). Today was a rainy day, so we decided to eat in the hotel restaurant. So we sent our eldest daughter to ask for gluten-free options and to do a reservation at the

Have never been to an Asian-Peruvian fusion place so was excited for some bold/different flavors - unfortunately, the dishes were largely just kind of modern Japanese which was fine and decent, just not the level we were expecting.

Did my research with a bunch of other yelp reviews and so glad I did!! All these dishes are a must try! Lovedddd the Japanese fried chicken and ceviche. Each of the dishes we got were so unique and different in flavor! Not necessarily dishes that pai
The ambience was cute and lively.
Our server was also friendly, but be careful since they will ask "still or sparkling water" so make sure you ask for tap unless you want to be charged $8 for some water... In terms of the food, I think you will be wow-ed if you don't go in

It's a really trendy restaurant; apparently this is an Asian Peruvian fusion restaurant, but outside of the chicha drink, the food seems more Asian. However, the food still is pretty great. I sat at the bar, and the service was nice. I ordered the l
Nice ambiance and pretty dishes, but the pros stop there.
We were excited for the Asian-Peruvian fusion aspect, but the dishes seemed to be largely Asian with a tiny Peruvian tweak in the form of a condiment or topping. The service was also slow and rather unhelpful with answering questions about the menu--

Set a whole new standard for a good restaurant! Our waiter, Chris, was gold and had wonderful recommendations. Place itself was super cool, had lots of interesting architecture and designs. Food was great, we couldn't stop ordering.

Everything was great! The cocktails and food are so unique and none of them miss. Frankie our waiter was a blast.
Connect with users posting reservations for RUKA Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with RUKA Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to RUKA Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the RUKA Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DazzlingStretch76, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DazzlingStretch76 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DazzlingStretch76 for any questions Peter may have as DazzlingStretch76 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DazzlingStretch76 now uses their connections at RUKA Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DazzlingStretch76 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DazzlingStretch76 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DazzlingStretch76's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at RUKA Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
