The lights were off in the restaurant so we weren't sure they were open. However they sat us and quickly turned the lights on. After that somewhat trepidatious start, things went uphill. The owner was serving us and was super attentive. We got a variety of rolls, including the Out of Control Roll (chosen for its fun name), Lovers Roll, Sashimi Naruto roll, and Spider Roll, along with Tamago and Fish Roe Sashimi. The sushi was gorgeously plated. The Out of Control Roll was my favorite, great textures and very indulgent. The sauce beneath the lovers roll was super tangy. Overall, a good pick for sushi in Scranton. I'd go back if I was in the area.

Now I understand why we were the only people in the place the whole night. The waitress whom I…read morethink is the owner has a terrible attitude she made us feel like we were nothing but an annoyance. She actually rolled her eyes when we asked for wasabi and Ginger prior to ordering our dinner. Food was actually not bad although the soft shell crab in the Spider Roll was on the cheap side but otherwise food was decent but definitely will not be back. I don't typically like to leave bad reviews for small businesses because I like to see them Thrive but if you don't like waiting on people, then don't own a restaurant!!

Not sure of…read morethe background story on the change, but we are very happy to taste the classic cuisine I grew up on, and it tastes exactly the same-great! Lunch was a little pricy ($54 with tip, no drinks) but totally worth it. Hibachi NY strip for me and sushi special for the wife were completely satisfying and filling. Of course, service was prompt and courteous and the decor was pretty standard for a sushi and hibachi restaurant. Highly recommend this Scranton landmark and legend.

The receipt states the name is Robata of Japan. We both got…read morethe chicken hibachi meal. It came with the traditional Japanese soup, salad, rice, noodles, and vegetables, and of course it came with the chicken. The portion was big. It was $24. The chicken was a little dry. The noodles, rice, and vegetables lacked flavor. Luckily it came with two dipping sauces. One tasted like a teriyaki sauce, the other I thought was a Yum Yum sauce but it did not taste like a Yum Yum sauce, it tasted like a mustard and soy sauce, it was delicious, so I poured that over my meal. The service was very friendly, although he messed up a bit on the order. We both ordered the same thing: we both ordered no mushrooms, one order came with mushrooms, we asked for no salad, one came with a salad and we asked for no shrimp and one came with the shrimp

Used to be a nice place but has since gone downhill…read more After taking three bites of sushi I noticed the tips of my chop sticks were molding. Then they started turning lights off on me because for some reason they close at 3. No hours posted on door so I walked in at 2:50 and ordered unknowing that it was 10 min from close. Once they started turning lights off I asked the waitress for a box and a check. I showed her the moldy chop sticks and she just flipped them around and used them to put my sushi in the box. Needless to say the sushi probably wasn't the most fresh. I even came home and cooked it up because I was skeptical. Today I am having terrible gastrointestinal issues. I am almost positive I picked up a bug or two from this dirty place. Sad to see an old favorite place falling apart. Will never go back and I don't expect to see this place around much longer.

Dare I say it reflects the neighborhood it's in. The wait staff was very friendly and nice. No issues at all. Went for lunch with the mrs. and had the Atami roll with another roll the name escapes me. That one in particular was shrimp tempura, avocado, rice, some other things, topped with tamago (egg). The Atami roll was fantastic, both rolls were. Although, I incidentally ordered a cooked one, but it's great to have options for people that don't like raw. Wifey had a sweet potato roll which is pretty standard since she doesn't eat raw fish. The rolls overall were smaller in size and more pure in delivery. If you compare to Akita in Montage their rolls are way larger with more sauce. So, it doesn't feel like there's overlap here. Price is good too, not too high but not cheap either. I will definitely come back.
