Sushi Robata - Dallas

I'm a food critic specializing in Japanese cuisine. I spend 13 years in Japan learning the dynamic food traits that Japan has to offer in one day becoming a chef of my own. Tetsuya Inoye my mentor took me around Japan learning the ways how food is prepared, served and consumed. Since returning to the States, I found a passion to critique the most known Japanese and Japanese/French influential restaurants in California, Utah, Arizona and now Texas. Although, I do review other posts and ratings I learned not to allow this to influence my perceptions of the restaurant that I review...and this has proven worthy to a high degree to say the least! I visited this restaurant and another in the same evening... To put it laconically and in all due reverence, this restaurant does not live up to it's reputable review background. The ambience felt dungy and old. The food was NOT FRESH AT ALL as fish was about 2 weeks, vegetables marinated in sauce however, I could tell the dish looked and tasted well overdue! The cost was average however, for the price of outdated food marinated in sauce in attempt to mask the taste of such level of food couldn't deceive my pallet as a professional. On top of all other details, the waitress didn't smile, hardly spoke and forgot one of my orders! This is my first and probably my last visit at the restaurant. Peace and Harmony!

This is my absolute favorite restaurant. I swear it gets better every time we go. Takoyaki crispy and so flavorful. Tonkotsu Ramen hot, incredibly delicious, excellent noodle texture. Sashimi amazing flavor, practically melts in your mouth. For how much food my husband and I order whenever we go here, it’s really reasonably priced for a Japanese restaurant, especially when the food is as superb as what we get here.

Absolutely TERRIBLE service. The hostess/manager I’m not sure what she was so incredibly rude in the way she talked to the customers. She has absolutely no manners. Just barks at customers. Sorry too many sushi places with smiles and good service. Do not spend your money here.Food: 1/5

One of the best Japanese Sushi Restaurants in town. You will find authentic sushi food here. A lot of appetizers to pick from, many rolls, many freshly Sashimi from Japan.Food: 5/5

We are very frequent visitors at Sushi Robata with my son. My most favorite: sea scallop hand roll. The service is always good, staff is friendly, food is fresh. They have a good variety of Japanese beer, they also serve wine and sake. I enjoy Sapporo Light.
