Stopped in for takeout and was promptly met with, "how many"?…read more Taken aback I replied, "just myself, but this will be taken away". Then she asked if I needed a menu....sigh... While I stood at the bar to peruse the lengthy menu the lady walked near me several times in haste with a notepad prompting my order. It wasn't busy but I felt rushed. I placed the order and watched the order be prepared within a few minutes. When the lady brought the receipt I noticed 15% gratuity was added. Appalling, especially since I wasn't offered water, a seat while I waited, nor was I greeted with a hello, a smile or thanked for coming in. Maybe the automatic gratuity is the very reason for the lack of hospitality here. The lack of hostility is the very reason I will never return. P.S. the sushi was decent. There are 100 alternatives I'd rather frequent for a pleasant experience. ~Christy

The Caliente roll was really good and full of flavor. The service made the experience even better. The server was attentive, friendly, and quick without feeling rushed.

We were disappointed that the kitchen was closed because the chef wasn't available, so no noodles,…read moreno bentos, nothing that requires cooking. We could only order from the appetizer menu and sushi/sashimi menu. There was enough to choose from but still disappointing. Food is average... tastes good but nothing special. Service was great. Very friendly and attentive. Parking situation was not ideal- while it has free parking right outside the door, it is a single row of spots and perpendicular to a busy road. If you back your car out of the spots you are in the traffic. For this reason alone, I won't return. If that doesn't bother you, it is a fine place to have Japanese food. The decorations are cute. Japanese style instrumental music playing in the background.

Robata is a small place with an ample parking lot size for its seating, or close to ample. I think…read morethere may not be enough seating for its customer demand... that's a sign of a popular place. Happy hour prices + the food quality are what had my friend invite me here. Some rolls are half off and so are a few beverages, like hot sake. I had never had hot sake. I've only had any sake once. I liked it fine, but I didn't want a second order after I finished the first. I was disappointed that Robata was out of plum wine. Instead I ordered what was described as a white sangria, but it tasted more like a brandy. I had a few sips and gave it to my friend. I had 4 vegetarian sushi rolls. Only the asparagus was included with happy hour. My 3 other rolls were takuan, pickle plum and BB. As much as I like plum (keep reading), and takuan was a pleasant surprise, and the asparagus was good, the BB, which has tempura asparagus, cream cheese, and sweet soy, was my favorite item of the evening. I was happy to see umeboshi onigiri on the lengthy menu. These were of a good size, but I think it perhaps would have benefitted from a higher pickled plum to rice ratio. (The only time I've had it has been from a food truck and I don't know how representative it is of onigiri.) Each order of food took a while to come out. My friend had trouble getting the server's attention when she wanted to put in more orders. Robata is not a place for a quick happy hour bite. It's going to take a while, especially if you're ordering in multiple rounds like we did. When the kitchen got too busy, my order another roll was denied. That happened well before dinner service ended and it was disappointing. I would have waited a bit longer. But it was probably good to get cut off from sushi at some point. We were a little confused by the bills. My friend may have overpaid (not gotten happy hour price) for some of her items, and there was some question about whether mine had been billed correctly, but in the end we decided that mine was probably correct. Hers, though... we aren't sure. I think I'll return to Robata for the BB roll, plum wine, and maybe something new, but I will be sure to have plenty of time, order a bunch all at once, and check the bill.

Since my source for umeboshi onigiri seems to have ceased operations (does anyone know what…read morehappened to the Izumi food truck?), i was pretty excited to see pickled plum rice balls on the menu here. I came with a friend for happy hour. We got the half off sushi (which included the mackerel nigiri, which is my FAVORITE (Tho, theirs isn't as good as Sushi Hanna in Alton)) and house hot sake, which was perfect for this freezing week. The heat was out? Which the waitress apologized for. They had a space heater out, so we sat right by that. I also ordered a few of the onigiri to go. They aren't the best I've had, but I'll probably be back semi-regularly to get my fix of the flavor, which is just so unique. Same for half off mackerel Maybe one day I'll even try their non-sushi offerings...

My green curry with tofu was unlike any other Thai green curry I've had. The broth was much thinner and appeared more oily. That being said, it had GREAT flavor. I guess it was just light on the coconut milk? It was more translucent than I'm used to. There was a subtle kick and that savory, umami goodness. Soaking the rice in the broth and getting a chunk of tofu or eggplant was delicious. It's a small place but was clean and the service was friendly.

At one point, my drink stayed empty for a while, but maybe they were busy with online orders, etc so I'm not too worried about that! I ended up getting a crisp Dr. Pepper to go, so I'm good haha!

I was honestly surprised I was the only customer in this place when I walked in. You can decide from the menu if you want a burrito, nachos, poke bowl, or a salad. They also have a seasonal item which I think is a great addition. I ordered the tiger style tuna burrito and i was pleasantly surprised. Very flavorful and all the ingredients worked so well together. The only thing I regret is not getting extra OG fire sauce on the side because it was indeed, fire. Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

I ended up getting ordering a Cali bowl with jalapeños on top. The employee was friendly and allowd me time to decide on what I wanted. I will say their burritos are better than the bowls on my opinion. I ordered a bowl and a drink and it was $18 which to me is on the pricey side. I also think you get more bang for your buck with getting a burrito. The place is well lit and clean and they have an abundance of condiments after you get done paying. As always until next time...
