About BAR RŌNIN

A contemporary Japanese Izakaya in the heart of the West Erie Plaza by chefs Dan Kern and Adam Williams. Featuring a full service bar, multiple private dining rooms and a beautiful open chef's kitchen in Erie, PA.

Located at 948 W Erie Plaza Dr, Erie, PA 16505, BAR RŌNIN operates as a japanese serving Erie in Pennsylvania. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as modern izakaya restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 5–10 pm. It is closed on Monday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (814) 920-4100. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, roninerie.com.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 348 reviews, which is a strong result for a japanese in Erie and suggests consistent service.

Erie is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Erie follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Extremely pleased we decided to try this place for our 25th anniversary weekend. Nate was very attentive, knowledgeable and took his time answering our questions about the sake & menu. We had 2 appts, drinks, 2 entrees, and a dessert- everything was fabulous. Many people go out to have "Good food" but this place takes it up another level. This is one of these restaurants where you want to slow down and savor eat bite as the food here bursts in multi-layer different flavors. Its an art really. For the kind of food you get, price is reasonable too.

Went to Bar Ronin was our last stop in Erie. Without any exaggeration, this was the best meal & restaurant experience my wife and I have ever had, full stop. Everything was excellent, from the atmosphere to the food. I would drive the 2.5-ish hours from Pittsburgh just for this place. The crab lo mein & potato mochi were next level and the shrimp teriyaki was so fresh we both said “so this is what fresh shrimp is supposed to taste like”. Even the deserts were incredible. I don’t even like banana but the banana bread tres leches has me rethinking if I actually don’t like bananas or if no other restaurant does them justice. Basically 50/10 just go, be happy, and enjoy the best food you’ve ever had.

Hands down the most high quality dining experience I've ever had in Erie! I didn't even realize such a fine dining experience could exist in our area! Me and my girlfriend went here to celebrate our 1 one year anniversary together and it happened to be the establishments 4 year anniversary too! I met with a server/hostess a few days in advance and left her with a pair of sterling silver hook style beach glass earrings I had custom made for her here locally and had her sneak deliver it in with our appetizer on a fancy little food plate to surprise my love with. Our service was exceptional! The atmosphere dining at the kitchen viewing area watching our food made in front of us and everything about the place was top notch and unforgettable! You really must check this place out if you haven't been!

How do you rate a place where the chef serves up an amazing stir fry noodles that ends up being a 5 star dish!!! An incredible dining experience! Amazing drinks, really good food and impeccable service by Isiah!!! Not to mention the decor and ambiance is fantastic! We requested if the chef could make a simple stir fry dish and were blown away by what was served. This place is a pearl in the oyster in Erie!

The food here was really fresh with a nice profile of flavors per dish! My husband and I sat at the bar area in front of the kitchen where the chefs were cooking. We thought the atmosphere was really nice and it was cool to see a bit of the behind the scenes action as they cooked! Can get real pricey if you want to splurge and enjoy yourself, but the menu itself has a lot of affordable options.
