The rest of the sushi was good, but a lot of the pieces tasted pretty similar to each other. It was pretty empty when I went since it wasn't long after opening, and there was only one staff member who was also the sushi chef. Service wasn't bad, but I did feel like I had to flag him down a few times since he was rarely out on the floor. The space itself seems like it would be really cozy and fun during peak hours with the full bar atmosphere. I'd probably come back at night next time to fully enjoy the experience and vibe.

My husband's favorite was the pork belly and I liked the chicken skin-could be slightly crispier. Also had some nigiri: yellowtail, salmon, and unagi-the fish was fresh and delicious. The takoyaki and tiger roll were also yummy. Overall felt the portions were quite reasonable and service was attentive.

A little late review from our December visit on a Sunday around 1:40 PM…read more We came here after our visit to the La Brea Tar Pits and walk around the park. We were hungry and wanting some seafood and settle for sushi! We ordered a variety of rolls to try. It was 3 of us and we devoured it all. It's a very small space but it gives that intimate feeling. We sat at their bar section. Clean and very kind service. All the food was delicious. I'm still thinking of when I can go back to have more. We found parking on the street. I would advise that parking will vary by the day you go. It's a pretty busy area during business week hours. Overall we enjoyed our experience and can't wait to return.

I do wish there were less options to choose from since it's quite overwhelming. My favorite is the spicy tuna on crispy rice happy hour app and the fairfax roll is the best one i've tried so far. I got some nigiri one time and the portion size felt super tiny and not with the price so I would stick to rolls there! Great service and a calm atmosphere in there since it's a smaller place.

So many selections and specials to choose from - great prices, good portions - everything was delicious! Sashimi combo was so fresh and came with miso soup, salad, and rice. The Japanese breakfast special had several options - Japanese omelet, spinach, fried collar, pickled veggies rice, salad, miso soup, and agedashi tofu. (My sister just got back from Japan and said the Breakfast was authentic and just like how they served it over there.) Everyone was also so friendly - will definitely be back soon! 10 out of 10 for me! Enjoy.

After 7 years of coming here, I'm done…read more Quality has gone downhill fish isn't as fresh, portions are smaller, and prices keep going up. Tonight sealed it. The place was nearly empty, yet service was slow. My 'Rich Man's Roll' tasted fishy, sashimi was bland, and I actually had to ask for salt at a sushi restaurant. Then a waiter placed a dirty napkin directly on my dish while I was eating and accused me of throwing it at him when I removed it. Completely false and unacceptable. What's worse is the manager/owner, who has spent years greeting me with hugs and asking about my son, suddenly couldn't be bothered. She sat at the bar eating, didn't come over, and I had to track her down myself only to be told she'd "check the camera." That's when it clicked the friendly relationship was completely phony. When it actually mattered, there was no accountability or care. Plenty of better sushi spots out there. Don't waste your time or money here.

While the sushi is good…read more- it's a decent sushi spot - chances are you, like us, will be the only people in the place. I was wondering how they stay in business. Well, since I eat out nearly every night, I know exactly when my bill feels a little too high. I paid it anyway thinking maybe I'm adding it up wrong and I also added the tip. I either hit the 20% or the 22% I can't remember but bare minimum I hit 20% cause that's the lowest I ever go thinking, hey something's off here. We'll come back to that. Your bill is presented on a Squareup POS machine but the screen only shows you the total. I had it email me an itemized receipt because the total seemed just a little high. Once we walked out of the restaurant, I waited and waited and waited. It took TWO hours for the receipt to show up in my inbox. Once you open the email, it still won't show you an itemized receipt because it says it's processing it. It is working to build you an itemized receipt to be viewable. I kept going back to the email over and over again throughout the day trying to get it to show me the receipt. It took until the next morning for the itemized receipt to finally show up and there it was just like I suspected a 16% "Azai fee" had been added onto the bill. It doesn't stop there. They TAX you on your total PLUS their fee! They're taxing you on the fee THEY added. Now if you want to add in your own gratuity for the server, absolutely fine, all day long, but you have to say that, show that, and print that. The fact that it is an "Azai fee" and not listed as a gratuity makes it shady like the owner is just pocketing this. Also if you look at the photo, it's not even calculating the tip percentage correctly. 20% minimum of that total should have been $21 and change. The two stars are for the woman who made our sushi. Won't be back.

It was busy inside but still got seated without waiting. Insane quality of fish not one single item I ordered had an off taste. The fast that my spicy mayo and ponzu was full when I left goes to show how insanely well they prepared the food sauce wise. Overall great place I will be back to try more things for sure. All this food double the salmon roe and scallop sushi because it was that good I had to go for round 2 but all this for 80$ was insaneeeee!!!!! And of course leave tip lol. For sure coming back!

Was sat immediately and served water. They have a pretty extensive menu of most things you'd find at a sushi cut roll spot. We ended up ordering the toro garlic toast, veggie tempura, ginza roll, and several pieces of nigiri sushi. The toro garlic toast was pretty good - sort of like a spicy tuna crispy rice situation ... but a little fattier and more garlicky than crispy. The ginza roll was pretty good too - a lot of fish in the roll and wasn't overwhelming with too much sauce. The tempura was good too- not super oily and all your typical veg involved. The nigiri sushi were pretty well prepared. The size was pretty good for the price - and each were accompanied by a small garnish on top or a little bit of sauce brushed on. All in all - I wouldn't say it's a date night place, but is a good easy eats sushi spot for rolls and nigiri for the price. Would recommend!

The reason I'm giving them 3 stars is because one of our dishes was accidentally placed on another party's table. Not a big deal, but they later picked it up from the table and placed it on our table saying "They didn't touch it". WHAT?? We didn't have enough time to process what had just happened, otherwise I would have complained. So unsanitary!! If they apologized and remade it for us, I would not have minded at all.

While many restaurants have come and go, Robata Jinya kept changing with the time. For example, they used to close at 2pm to get ready for dinner. Now they have extended their hours and this is my favorite spot to take a late lunch because their lunch specials and happy hour menu overlap. This lunch size servie of ramen and two spicy tuna crispy rice is less than $20 ($16 during the time of this review.) It is a bit harder to find that price for lunch in this area with the quality and amount of food you are getting. Food and drinks are still top notch here. There is a lychee martini that I highly recommend where they infuse it with lychee smoke in a bubble.

We tried many things on the menu, with the crab hand roll and crispy rice with tuna being the favs. The scallop sushi (not on the happy hour menu) was also really good. The lychee martini is a must try. It comes with a huge smoke filled bubble on top, and is not too sweet. The interior is nice with some interesting samurai artifacts and wood beam ceilings. Recommend!
