ROBATA

Had a great experience here. Came for dinner with a small group, we were sat immediately (we did book) and the staff were pretty quick & attentive. Food was all delicious and reasonably priced as well as well priced wine and a good selection of cocktails! Food was delicious, well presented and served at a good speed. Warning the spicy margarita is delicious but definitely spicy!

Delish food! I have been a few tables, it’s great to go for a chill evening with friends. Cocktails are very good. Can’t wait to go back!

The food here was very tasty, but it was very pricey. We did the lunch set menu for £60 per person, which creeped up quickly when you add £13 cocktails. We enjoyed everything we ate, but I’m not sure it was worth the price point. The sashimi was really good and they had awesome sauces with the kaarage and squid. Our mains were delicious too, I had the cod and my buddy got the chicken.

Tasty food and friendly service. However for an 8 dish tasting menu at £60-£67pp, you’d expect to leave pretty full - both my husband and I were still pretty peckish afterwards. The main dish (we’d ordered chicken and black cod respectively) were delicious but could have benefited with 1-2 side dishes to accompany the dish. The restaurant is also not super clear (especially the downstairs section where the toilets are).

Delicious skewers! Chicken thigh was my favorite but everything was really good. Sake flight was also very good and quick service. Worth the price.

Shame as I saw some good reviews before trying this place out... place is fairly dark and bland, and it lacks a bit of character. Service was poor apart from a lady called Aditi. Food was okay, prawn and California sushi rolls were good, Chilli corriander squid looked nice but too chewy. Skewers (we tried them all) were awful, no flavour/taste, and luke warm).

Really enjoyed the bottomless brunch here. The dishes were delicious, and the prosecco was kept topped up. The staff were welcoming, and the service was overall great. There wasn't much of an atmosphere, but honestly, I didn't need one. A welcome change to be able to hear the person across the table from you. Would definitely visit again

We came to Robata very last minute booking and were pleasantly surprised. I agree with some of the reviews that the menu is more Japanese inspired and can lack in the more traditional sushi choices. However i felt that quality of the dishes and service made up for this. Pros - the service was great and they were very busy with a packed restauramt . They bought out the food quickly and gave us advice on the menu. The waiter even helped me when i was looking for my lost headphones! The sushi was different and exciting with it tasting fresh! Cons - was ot a fan of the soft shell sushi and the tacos both tasted rather overly fishy. The skewers were rather average as well Would recommend if wanting a decent Japanese in Soho.
