Robun is a tribute to Japanese author Kanagaki Robun and his 1872 book Seiyō ryōritsū, which introduced Western barbecue to Japan.

Our modern-day interpretation of Yakiniku specialises in sharing plates of beautiful robata grilled dished large plates fused with elements from across Asia, paired with inspired cocktails and an extensive choice of Japanese whiskeys or sake in the most inviting and sociable of settings.

Alongside our innovative selection of sashimi, salads and small plates, our fresh sushi is served in a variety of creative incarnations including soft-shell crab futomaki roll with kimchi mayo and a tobiko-topped nigiri.

Upstairs in the Kanagaki Suite, we provide an events space and Karaoke bar set to host celebrations and events, from bespoke meetings to the ultimate party.

Robun is the place to relax, unwind and enjoy sharing plates with friends and family. It will definitely leave you wanting more.

    Unfortunately the quality of food was well below par. Which was disappointing as we were excited to try it based on other reviews. Sadly the restaurant ran out of what I had ordered half way through our service so I didn’t have a main course. The service was good and the staff were apologetic, 50% was taken off our bill for the inconvenience. Safe to say I won’t revisit. Definitely not for you if you are an experienced Japanese food lover.

    On arrival, the staff were welcoming, the restaurant was a bit cold, because of the cold weather outside, the lights were a bit dim, difficult to read the menu comfortably. Service was good, although one of plate were taken before finishing the contents in full. Also I wish if they offered normal cutlery rather embarrassingly using the chop sticks Food were excellent, wish to thank the chef a lot Soft drinks were loaded with ice. Not money worth. Overall we would go back for the tasty food.

    Definitely would dine here again. The food is amazing and the service is quite good. Would love to see the mochi ice cream in Japanese flavours next time though. Sesame, red bean, green tea etc. Still we enjoyed the experience!

    The dishes were sublime. The trouble is you can get carried away ordering dishes and then there’s a hefty bill at the end. I’ve never tasted food like it and as soon as you walk out of the door, you are already planning when you can go back.

    Have been here a few times since it opened… love Japanese food and sushi Have had some good meals there, although think it is only reasonable value with a “50% off food” offer (currently on, but not valid yesterday as a Saturday night - we went yesterday because it was son’s birthday and it was his choice). I think it has deteriorated over time. Some of the staff not knowledgeable last night (about choice of gin - gin not in the drinks menu, so I had to ask - and some Food questions). By 8pm on the Saturday, they were completely out of salmon: this is bizzare for a sushi restaurant…. Surely you see your stocks running low and source some - from somewhere - during the day on Saturday??? Also ran out of broccoli: ordered the broccoli, didn’t come, reminded them, it didn’t come, reminded again and they said they were out…). In addition the food was just not up to par there (kimchee fried rice normally really good, it was small and overpowered by chilli last night… presentation used to be amazing, definitely quite plain now, they seem to have moved from lightly frying gyoza to deep frying them…). At those prices you want something really good. It is an expensive restaurant and I would struggle to justify going there: you can have a considerably better meal (including Japanese / sushi) for half the cost… including in Bath or Bristol. This is a shame: I hope that the owners / managers read this review and step up. Don’t know if they can see my contact details, but would be happy to talk with them.

    First visit to this restaurant and was very underwhelmed. We waited to be seated for 10 minutes, eventually the bartender left his post to seat us. We then waited 20 minutes before drinks order was taken & another 20 minutes to get the drinks. The food came and it was lacklustre to be honest. Won’t be returning.

    We loved our meal at Robun. The food looked beautiful and was bursting with unusual, delicious and exciting flavours which left our mouths tingling. There were plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices. We chose six plates to share and this was just right. Service was welcoming, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back
