Eating in the sushi bar made us dinner. the fire roll rocks, and the yellow **** and salmon sushi just melt in my mouth. So yes, thank you.

Hell yeah, what a spot! I’ve lived in the area for a couple years but had never heard of Robata. We recently gave it a go and absolutely loved it! Super fresh f...

New owners do a fabulous task, robata again on the way and wise as it was in the good old days. great food, great service in a cozy environment. well done!

Robata Grill has garnered both accolades and criticisms in recent months. While many patrons appreciate the fresh, high-quality sushi and unique dishes like their renowned barbecue rice and tempura, a notable decline in service and cleanliness has marred the experience for others. Guests report inconsistent food quality, a misunderstood cocktail menu, and a lack of attentiveness from staff. Despite some customers longing for the restaurant’s previous charm, recent management changes have sparked renewed enthusiasm among others who commend the inviting ambiance and friendly service. Robata Grill remains a location of evolving opinions, where nostalgia clashes with new beginnings.
