The menu kind of reflects this struggle too, as it can't seem to decide if it wants to offer more traditional Japanese sushi-ya fare or something more innovative. As a result, we kind of wound up with the middling middle with our choice of 4 specialty rolls: 1) Saku: Probably the best and most traditional of our rolls with salmon and avocado inside, and ponzu, chives and crispy shallots on the outside. 2) Lobster: Not enough lobster salad inside to justify the overuse of miso-yuzu mayo, and just a whole ton of filler nonsense going on outside wrapped in pink soy paper. 3) Drop It Like Its Hot: Not spicy enough to justify the cute name. This should've been an easy slam dunk in flavor, but everything felt kind of bland and flat. Maybe due to the lack of nori. 4) Crunch Drunk Love: Lots of fish, but again, not enough flavor. We also got the Edamame with Spicy Miso Butter, which was just OK--the butter was weirdly sour. I wouldn't order it again. In fact, I....wouldn't really order anything here again.

All their locations are always in a speakeasy vibe with 90's hip hop decor and music blasting. For the 13 pieces omakase, it's $65 with various fresh nigiris. I like that they have a Wagyu and uni piece included as well, but my favorites were the shrimp, scallop, and fatty tuna pieces. Such a fun vibe and great basic omakase. This visit reminded me why Sushi by Bou is always a solid choice and you can't go wrong dining here. Their add-on pieces are pricey though.

We got crab rangoons, Salmon avocado roll, Philadelphia roll, and spicy tuna roll…read more Rangoons were very stuffed with cream cheese, almost too much. Not enough crab. And the sauce they came with was too sweet, i prefer more of a sweet chili sauce. Also, they were a little undercooked, not enough crisp. The sushi rolls were all fantastic. Definitely Meets my standards. Filled really well, not too much rice, ingredients tasted fresh. And the spicy tuna was not too spicy which is what I prefer, and it was very gushy, which I love. Overall, i loved the sushi. Would definitely return for more sushi.

The sushi roll was fairly standard, though thankfully, contained more eel than it had on my previous order. The soup, however, was excellent! The broth was rich and flavorful; it contained tender strips of white meat chicken, shitake mushrooms, and a handful of other vegetables. It was fantastic and definitely worth ordering again. The pair made for the perfect late evening meal to tide me over until the next day.

Robongi's lunch special is from 11am-4pm on weekdays. You have a choice between 2 or 3 rolls and it comes with a soup or salad. All the fish tasted super fresh and the fish-to-rice ratio was on point! I loved the salmon avocado and spicy tuna; those are 2 classics I tend to get wherever a lunch special is offered. I also got the spicy scallop which came at an up-charge. A lot of places don't offer this so I didn't mind the additional $2. Flavor-wise, I actually enjoyed it a lot but there was a lot of tempura crunch when I would have preferred it to be all scallop. The miso soup had a rich umami flavor but not much tofu in it. Good quality, reasonably priced, and super fast service!

I…read morecame here on a date night and we ordered the Hoboken roll, the Philadelphia roll, the eel avocado roll, the optimistic roll, and shrimp shumai. My favorite was the eel avocado roll. I'm not the biggest fan of cream cheese in my roll so my least favorite was the Philadelphia roll. I ordered a peach iced tea. The service was great and attentive. When we walked in without a reservation we were able to be seated right away as it wasn't busy. As we started to eat our rolls, the restaurant did get busier with time. Dates and families coming in for their dinner. I have to be honest and say the shrimp shumai wasn't all that special but overall the presentation of the sushi and taste was pretty good. The shumai tasted okay to me, I have had better elsewhere and they looked different. They were tiny. All in all, I would come back and recommend this restaurant to sushi lovers. 10/10 restaurant recommendation.

Started the year off strong at this cute sushi spot. They had a lot of delicious speciality rolls…read more I got the coconut shrimp one, and the opportunity roll.

The opportunity roll was good and came in a unique wrap instead of seaweed. The interesting thing about this place is their strong, yet cheap drinks.

One thing I loved about the cocktail menu were the detailed descriptions and photos. It made it really easy to decide, and I wasn't disappointed by my choice. I had the Don't be Shy, which was vodka-based and had soju. It was very refreshing and was mixed perfectly. Since the restaurant iis known for sushi and pasta (and steak), I decided to try one of their Lincoln Harbor rolls which had crab, bluefin tuna, avocado, and wasabi yuzu. It had a kick to it and the fish was very fresh. I also had a side of the lobster mac and cheese, which was creamy and filled with lobster. My mate had the bolognese pasta dish and it was finished very quickly, which is always a good sign. All in all, I had a fantastic meal with excellent service and look forward to returning soon.

I had to use my chase sapphire dining credits and this restaurant was part of it, and I happened to be nearby. Everyone was dressed nicely, meanwhile I come in with my orange spyder jacket (it was raining) Anyway, food was pretty good. Octopus- it was pretty good as I love octopus legs but thought the texture needed a bit more bounce to it. I still enjoyed it. Steak delmonico- decently good as well. I ordered it medium rare and thats the way it came. I didnt order any sauce on the side for it but maybe u should. I figured the whipped potatoes and truffle creamed spinach would be good sides that can double as sauces. But their truffle butter sauce sounds pretty good. Chicken parm- it was surprisingly good. The cheese complimented the chicken so well. I think I liked this more than my steak. Whipped potatoes- delicious Truffle creamed spinach- pretty good as well Overall, i had a nice evening here. Ambiance is slightly dark and romantic. Waiters were nice.
