   Great food, incredibly noisy environments. Hard to understand both the waiters and eachother. The room seems to amplify every person's voice, strange at it may seem.

   Very very excellent -great service and wonderful foood. The only negative is that the kitchen closes earlly (10.15) and so booking made at 9.30 or later do not have much time to enjoy the full menu.

   Outstanding! I had a really great dinner with my dad and two friends. The soft shell crab bao was sensational! Everything was delicious and, overall, reasonably priced. I would definitely return.

   We booked a table for 1:30. I requested a standard table - they tried to put as at the counter and then on a high table. We were given the last pokiest table in the room. When I asked to switch to one of the larger tables as there were three that were empty - I was told they were reserved for larger parties. They clearly weren’t and tbh, the manager seemed so unhelpful that after 5 min, I decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. We went to Shackfuyu up the road, had a wonderful brunch and spent the best part of £100. Will not be coming back to Robata as the staff are unpleasant.

    You should not serve like 6-7 course tasting menu if you offer only 1,5h time to eat it. We were literally thrown out from the table when 1,5h were gone. Waiter handled it quite well after words and food was very good but still maybe would not go again if they won't extend the time to eat. I think when you go to place like this it shouldn't be like "fast food" restaurant.

    Absolutely delicious! We had a variety of dishes as recommended by the very helpful waiter. Would definitely go back for the sashimi, squid, truffle fries, black cod - actually all of it! My only gripe - portions were a little on the small side

    Our first but certainly not our last taste of Japanese food. We took the advice of the very pleasant waiter and chose a variety of small plates like tapas. All very tasty and original to us anyway! Dessert was very lovely ice cream served in a kind of pastry.

    Robata was a truly outstanding evening out. Excellent service, decent surroundings and absolutely gorgeous food at a reasonable price - so much to love. We tried the tasting menu which took the paralysis of choice away, but I’m definitely coming back to work my way through the rest of the menu. 10/10, cannot recommend enough!

    On arrival the waiter guided us to the high chairs which I had requested on the booking not to be seated there. We made ou order and a few minutes later the waiter came with a sparkling bottle of water when I had just asked for still tap water. 15min later we overheard that sushi wasn't available due to chef's sickness yet no one had mentioned it to us. I enquired the waiter and they said they would try and make the sushi that we ordered anyway. They didn't, but another waiter came with a different order as an offer for not being able to make the sushi we requested. I appreciated it but they could've given us an option to choose something different had we known from the beginning. Service was slow, for such a small and not that busy place, and hard to get someone's attention. The toilets were absolutely disgusting and not cleaned at all, considering the restaurant had just opened at 12. The food was delicious and the pornstar martinis stunning, however the experience wasn't satisfactory. Can't even blame it on short staff as there were 4 waiters and only 6 tables had people. It makes me sad there's so much service charge when there's inattentive staff, errors on the bill and just a general lack of interest in waiting tables. I understand that restoration has suffered a lot throughout COVID but when you decide to go out for a meal is because you want a different experience than the one you get at home, when the experience isn't satisfactory it feels like a waste of money.

    The tasting menu is a nice way to try out different menu choices. A great combination of cold and hot starters, including one of the main courses of 4 options. The listed price of 55 pounds is without the service fee of 12,5%.

    This is a great restaurant. The food is exceptional and staff were incredibly helpful and cheerful. The duck salad and signature pork dish were real highlights. We would have liked the music to be a little quieter but that’s really the only small criticism and not something that would bother a lot of people Overall a great experience.

    Quickly becoming one of my favourite restaurants.. everything i've tried here so far is delicious and the staff are lovely. Stand out dishes for us were the Braised Beef Short Rib Bao Buns and the Beef Tataki - so flavoursome. The sushi is always fresh and enjoyable. Love this place!

    Avoid booking a high top table. They'll make you perch on the corner rather than sit face to face with your companion. We had to argue to be seated at a table where we could sit facing each other. Unheard of!

    I chose Robata because of Its Great japanese menu and high reviews but we were dissapointed. Place is really small and tables are very close one to another. My chair was in the walkway and there were a lot of people just going next to me and pushing. We order few dishes to share and first two dishes came quite quickly but for the other we had to wait almost an hour. Staff was not interested. They were talking between each other. The food was Ok but portions were so small that we felt hungry ☹️ And the prices are realy high like for these small portions. I do not recommend this place.

    Took my boyfriend here for his birthday meal and food sounded great on the menu but unfortunately didn't wow us. We were offered water and he came over with a bottle and we were the only ones in the restaurant so didn't think anything of it but when people started coming in they were given big jugs of water for free and we payed £5 for a bottle. Very over priced for what it was but fantastic cocktails ! If your looking for a snack and cocktail it's lovely but for a whole meal I wouldn't go back.
