It's a must try. By far the best sushi place in town. It was one only a handful that has an authentic Japanese certification. We've been coming here for over 10 years and while there are other places they can't even hold a candle to this place. So many authentic options you can't get anywhere else. If it wasn't for the distance I'd be in more regulary. Can't speak highly enough of this place.

02/21/24: I had the chirashi lunch which came with miso soup and salad. Not bad for $23 plus tax. It was filling for me 👍 fish was fresh and sushi rice was very yummy. If you get sushi at lunch, it can get pretty pricey! I got sushi c "sushi was just ok", uni "was ok", and yellowtail belly "this was def the best". Next time I come, I'll get the lunch bento box.

Tried this place for the first time today and it was a good choice for dinner. The service is great as the servers here clear out your plates as you finish them but it's not to the point where it feels like they're hovering. As it was my first time here it took me a while looking through the menu as I tried to decide what to get and I did not feel rushed at all. For the appetizers we got the ebi tempura and two different skewers. The ebi tempura was light and crispy which I liked a lot. The skewers on the other hand were lacking a bit of flavor in the meat itself even after adding the togarashi on top. As for the sushi we got the spicy salmon, dallas roll, and golden dragon roll. I think my favorite was the spicy salmon, I like how it is chunks of salmon instead of traditional spicy salmon where it is mashed together. The Dallas roll and Golden Dragon rolls were good too. Overall, I think this is a pretty decent spot to go for dinner with a friend or with family if you are around the area. It is more on the quiet and lowkey side when it comes to vibes of the place.

Stopped by Sushi Robata a few days ago to celebrate a friend's birthday! It was a Wednesday night around 6:30 when I arrived and there were several other patrons already but the place wasn't too busy. My friend and I arrived separately but the staff allowed me to sit at a table for two early as I waited for her to get here. The ambience inside is very cute and homey and the service here was really great! Our server came by multiple times to check up on us and make sure we were doing okay, and even took care to ask if we wanted wasabi in our nigiri and what kind of soy sauce we'd like (low sodium or regular). My friend and I split a tonkotsu ramen and they even offered to split it into two smaller bowls for us when we put the order in, which I thought was a really nice touch. We also ordered some takoyaki to share, and we got our own selection of nigiris. I also added a chawanmushi to my meal because I love it and wanted to try theirs. The ramen was quite solid, and had some interesting toppings that I don't see too often, such as pickled mustard greens. The chashu was very tender and the broth was super flavorful without being too salty. I wasn't a huge fan of the egg included, as it was totally hard boiled to the point of chalky yolks; personally I prefer a runny egg. But all in all a solid option in this area. Takoyaki was excellent and probably the best I've had in the North Dallas/Plano/Addison area. Chawanmushi came out piping hot and was packed with goodies like bay scallop, shrimp, mushrooms, and fish cake. Egg was super fluffy and flavorful! Nigiri was priced very reasonably and each order comes with two pieces, so I didn't get the chance to try quite as many fish as I wanted to. I ordered mainly off the specials menu and all the fish that came out was super fresh. My favorites of the night were probably the sawara and the shima aji. Unfortunately the sushi rice left something to be desired; to me it was quite bland. Personally I like a stronger flavor in the rice from vinegar sugar and salt, but I had to dip these pieces in a soy sauce and wasabi. Next time I might consider sashimi sets or ordering sashimi a la carte. We were both stuffed after the savory foods, but it was a birthday celebration so we finished with strawberry shortcake, which I believe is made in house. It was super light and fluffy and the perfect sweetness. Cream complimented the tart sweetness of the strawberries wonderfully. There are so many other cooked items on the menu that I'd love to come back and try in the future, maybe with a larger group. Their menu is truly so extensive and it was overwhelming trying to narrow down choices, so coming with more people to share a bunch of things is my next goal :) I don't see mont blanc on dessert menus often in this area, so definitely want to come back and try that in particular. Thanks for a great experience, Sushi Robata! Can't wait to return.

Hands down EASILY my favorite Japanese restaurant in town! After just getting back from an extended trip through Japan a few months ago, I can confidently say that the food here is authentic, fresh, delicious, and does not skip a beat when crossing the pacific because sushi robata serves such high quality, fresh, and authentic food. Service is AMAZING and feels like I'm back in Kyoto. It smells and tastes like it too! I love this place and will never miss an opportunity to dine here! Easily some of the best and most authentic Japanese food in the metroplex in a uber chill, relaxed, and friendly environment.

Overall: solid local Japanese restaurant with friendly understanding service. Menu is a slightly odd hodge podge of sushi, bentos, noodles, and more but definitely a surprising find in the heart of Texas. Food: agedashi tofu to start was fried well with a thin crispy layer. The raw fish were fresh without the fishy smell or flavor. The rolls were exceptionally long and well rolled. Ambience/Decor/Service: very normal decor with a small sushi bar and plenty of tables. Waiters with their quick service. We accidentally ordered the wrong item and they were super understanding getting it switch out for us!

This is one of the BEST sushi and most authentic Japanese restaurants in town! They have earned our loyalty...shrimp tempura and most of their dishes/ entrees are deliciously prepared. Good flavors, textures and variety! We love Takako also....she is excellent with a lovely singing voice (the birthday song) and always helpful!!! Thank you! ;-)

It's a warm and cozy restaurant. All the waitresses were helping all the guests with water, tea, serving the dishes, clearing your table, ... so service was very fast. The only confusing aspect was ordering hot tea. They have 2 types of green tea and you can either pay for the $3 a cup or $5 endless pot per person. It took me a minute to understand all our options. The food! Of course it was beautifully presented and you can taste the freshness in the sashimi and it's more than just Sushi. We picked 3 small dishes and each one was perfectly cooked. The prices were very reasonable and we shared all our dishes to get a little of everything.

High quality sushi! To-go place. Great for birthdays. Very satisfied with the food every time. Some menu items rare in Dallas.

Delicious "Fireside cooking" or Robatayaki in which items of food on skewers are slow-grilled over hot charcoal. Liver, hart, tongue etc. the fresh items, Sashimi and Sushi are excellent as well. Wonderful services from owner and her staff. Sushi's chef are excellent prepared sushi at the bar. Love cozy atmosphere as well.

Sushi Robata came recommended as an authentic sushi place, and it was that: simple, yet delicious. The service was good, both kids and grown-ups had fun tasting different sushi and drinking Ramune.

I asked for ginger and the owner said I could not have any because I put in my water.... Which I was doing for nausea. She. Rough me a few pieces and then only ga e me one tiny piece with my meal. I had been eating there since 2008 and had 2 birthdays there! I had roach crawl across the sushi bar, discreetly picked it up and handed it to him and they didn't seem to care. Lost a loyal customer. Simon's sushi off 75-or Addison's Sushi; way better.

Yelp
Authentic Japanese neighborhood restaurant with sushi chefs and a wide range of cooked traditional dinner items from ramen and udon noodles, chicken, beef, teriyaki , tonkatsu and more. Traditional smaller dishes to choose from that won't disappoint - agedashi tofu (lightly fried tofu in an amazing broth), to yakitori (smaller skewered street food Japanese kabobs - choose from soy sauce or salt (shio) flavoring- meats, veggies and peppers! Yum.. Nostalgic homemade side dishes worth trying. The sushi selection is amazing- Americanized and creative rolls, to traditional sushi, and sashimi. Can order A La cart. The sushi dinner selections -mix and matching option is good value . There is a wide range of Japanese sake to choose from to boot. The lunch bento boxes special are amazing with a Choice of sides that include a few pieces of California rolls, choice of a smaller cooked item, salad in addition to your main dish. Best part is that the chef is an amazing baker - order in advance the "Traditional Japanese strawberry shortcake" (at time of your order). Sells out quickly and you can add a tea or coffee with the dessert. It can get crowded for dinner so reservations make it easier. We don't have issues walking ins on weekdays but some days it is buzzing. Staff is friendly. Best kept Japanese secret in Far North Dallas. Clean, cozy and traditional restaurant not a trendy vibe.

A snazzy combo of modern dining and traditional Japanese food. I enjoyed the large spacious interior and cozy environment inside Sushi Robata. I came for their lunch menu and was pleased with the option to make your own bento box. There were so many options to choose. Chicken teriyaki, pork katsu, and grilled mackerel. We were able to add a chawanmushi to the meal which isn't something I see a lot in the states. Their service was very warm and friendly exactly like Japan. The waitresses were very attentive in refilling our hot tea and delivered our food promptly. I look forward to trying their dinner menu. Arigato!

came in on a sunday night with friends and got a table right away. it's a very nice restaurant with dim lighting. the staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. some of my favorites were the beef tongue skewers and smoked salmon nigiri.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Japanese dishes made to perfection. We each ordered what we wanted and all kind of shared family style so we could taste everything. Freshness, presentation, taste, all the boxes were checked! And no wait for a table for 4 on a Sunday evening. Can't ask for a better experience.

Used to love this place. Food is delicious. However, service can be either really good or really bad. I experience both. If you reserve for a party, make sure everyone in your party show up, or else they will not sit you down. The host (the older lady) at the front is not friendly at all. Recently I went back to visit only because of my bestfriend birthday party. Service is good that night. Therefor I give them a 4 stars

Shushi Robata in north Dallas has delicious Japanese food. I eat here often. If there is no table available, we use the bar. It's cool to see the cooks working there. After we sit down, the staff offers us warm hand towels. I love the Japanese soup in the steel crock. It comes with a deep, rich broth, soft egg, jumbo fried shrimp, and thick soba noodles. The raw sashimi fish on top of a green salad is fantastic. The Japanese teriyaki salmon is our favorite. The salmon is delicious. I am always looking forward to our next visit!

Came here for lunch specials on a weekday. It was pretty packed for a weekday which seemed it would be a good spot. There were 3-4 separate menus I felt because we asked for alcohol and one had wine the other beer but we finally got settled and ordered lunch special sushi rolls. All the rolls were perfectly made and fish was fresh. Asked for sides of spicy Mayo and that didn't disappoint. Paired with white wine and beer. Service was great they kept coming by to make sure we didn't need anything. Super friendly!

I ordered lunch delivery via UberEats and it was good! I had the sushi & roll lunch special. It came with 5 pcs of sushi (tuna, yellowtail, salmon, white fish & cooked shrimp), California roll, soup and salad. I also added 2 pcs of yellowtail sushi to my order. The sushi was fresh and decent quality. The Cali roll was good as well. Soup was yummy. The salad wasn't super fresh. Overall, a great deal for a lunch. I like that they have different lunch specials to choose from. I'll def order from them again and would love to try something else next time!

Always clean, service and food quality are good and consistent. The inside decor is intimate and nice: dark enough for a romantic date but casual enough not to valet

Sushi Robata was a solid 4 star Sushi restaurant, but something has changed. If what I experienced at around 6:40pm yesterday represents the direction they are headed - I'm done. Every one of my 4 rolls fell apart like a 10 year old made them for mommy's birthday. The quality of the ingredients was not there. Let me guess... this restaurant is trying something new. It's a transition phase of some sort. The excuse really doesn't matter, because I paid for the great sushi I grew to love here and all I got was some corner-grocery faux sushi that couldn't even compete with Kroger's day old version. I want a refund for the fake sushi, my 30 mile trip - in the rain, and my time.

Our Go-To Japanese restaurant. It's authentic and close to my location. Pretty much everything is yummy there. Sushi is great but I'd say branch out and try anything. It'll be good.

I lucked out that a bunch of us had a rough day and my favorite food was the chosen respite. Eric R. went for a bike ride and I went to the mall to buy him sandals since his broke. His parents were waiting for us and then decided to pick a sushi place without my input. Luckily for me, my MIL's friend recommended Sushi Robata, which was on my bookmark list! This place has a great ambiance, with trendy and traditional interior mixed. The sushi bar had individual TVs so if you wanted to watch a game or show, it would be a great spot. There were quite a few menus to read, including the cooked/robata/skewer menu, the sushi rolls menu, and the sushi specials menu plus dry erase ordering sheets for the skewers and nigiri orders. Our seats were set with ohitashi - wakame and cucumber salad, which was refreshing. I got iced green tea and Eric R. hot green tea, and we were all given hot towels before the meal. My FIL got the chicken teriyaki entree which came with soup and salad plus rice, and everything came out for him before the rest of the food so he was happily fed. My MIL ordered the Alaskan and Fire rolls plus scallop nigiri. Eric R. ordered some assorted sushi: ora king salmon, blue fin otoro from Croatia (on special), yellowtail belly, and scallop. He also got a negihama handroll. I ordered chawanmushi which is always exciting to see on a menu and had yuzu peel on it(!!!), negitoro roll (to share with the table, 6 pieces), the sushi special from the daily specials menu with one piece each of blue fin tuna, kanpachi (amberjack), aki salmon, red snapper, buri yellowtail, and striped mackerel for $21, a salmon skin handroll, and an order of Peruvian uni (from the regular menu). Everything was very OISHI and our server constantly refilled our drinks and checked on us. I wish I knew his name but he was very patient and friendly. Everything was super fresh and delicious. This place is very authentic and I would definitely return. Itadakimasu!

Sometimes you just get some sushi.... that all tastes the exact same. The staff was friendly and very efficient, the decor is demure and aesthetically pleasing, however the sushi simply doesn't wow! I hate to say anything negative, but the fish just didn't seem the freshest or the highest quality. I wouldn't be as critical if our lunch for two didn't come to $90. This did include two large Sake carafes, meaning that about $70 was food and the rest was drinks and tax. In a small corner of town where there isn't much competition, Sushi Robata was PACKED for lunch, leading me to believe that it had to be gooooood. I was surprised to be so underwhelmed. I thought that I was being overly critical until I asked the opinion of my lunch mate, to which he agreed

Alejandro R.

Yelp
Amazing Sushi and Sashimi. Great atmosphere. Sake and tea is always a must here. The staff is friendly and the service is excellent. I would recommend getting the "Sushi E" for lunch and the "Chirashi" for dinner. This is definitely one of, if not, my favorite sushi spots.

Sushi robata is a local sushi restaurant, family owned I believe, that has been my family's favorite for years. The sushi is spectacular and so fresh. I never had sushi from Japan before, but I'd imagine their sushi is pretty close. Our favorite roll is the long horn roll, definitely a must try! My mom loves their hamachi collar, my sister loves their futomaki roll, and my brother and I loves their takoyaki. Their appetizer is just as good as their rolls! My only small problem with this place is the cooking time. It takes pretty long for our food to come out every time and sometimes one dish would come out when everyone's done eating. So tip, order ASAP, but the wait usually isn't a issue with a good group! 9/10 recommend this place!

I don't know how I hadn't been here, yet, considering it's right down the street from my house! Huge oversight on my part, but now I know and knowing is half the battle. I was very impressed so I'll be back. I overate. Here's what I had. First, I ordered the Sushi Bar Special which on this night was 2 pieces each of Tuna, Warasa Yellowtail, King Salmon and Alfonsino Fish. It was so good, I asked the sushi chef what other fish he had special I should try and he suggested Crimson Sea-Bream from Kagoshima, Japan which was also excellent. I also ordered a couple of Japanese skewers - Gyu Tan (beef tongue) and Enoki Bacon (a unique mushroom wrapped in bacon). Then the Summer Roll which was a riceless masterpiece, yellowtail belly sashimi then finally Wild Bonito prepared w onions and ponzu. All paired with a Nigori sake. I'm so happy!! Are too much because I didn't want to stop everything was so good. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food delicious. And the ambiance was better than the strip mall exterior would lead one to believe. Only complaint? The incomprehensible number of repetitive menus you get on arrival. I had 6-7 menus handed to me. I think 4 of the menus had sake on them, most of them repeated on each menu but there were slight changes on each menu which is confusing. Example: the "main menu" only listed one nigori (Gekkeikan), while menu 2 had three and the 4th menu added one more... so, read them all and try to figure out what you want. Seems that they should simplify the menus and combine them to remove duplicates and not overwhelm guests. But, honestly, the food was so good I got over the perplexing menus real quick. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend!!! -Tait

Dining in during COVID Recommend making a reservation if you're coming on a weekend Night. There was a small line of people as we were leaving. I was really impressed with the seating arrangement. If you're a party of 2, They will seat you on the same side to ensure there's adequate spacing for everybody. Extensive menu with pictures. Special rolls are standard price so around $12-14. I got a regular tuna roll and one of the special rolls (can't remember which) and I spent around $20. The special rolls are pretty Americanized so think lots of crab meat. I wish they offered more fresh fish rolls. I enjoyed, but not sure I would come back again based on the roll variety.

Still maybe the ichiban (number one) Japanese restaurant in the area. Japanese-owned, and all the employees are Japanese, too... which means timely and cheerful hospitality!! Pro-tip: The lunch menu is definitely more affordable than the dinner one. \\ chicken katsu lunch special - tender, juicy chicken encased in panko flakes and sliced thin for the optimal crunch-to-juice ratio - comes with two sauce options (tonkatsu sauce and "spicy" mayo), salad, a generous bowl of yummy perfectly-cooked Japanese rice ("sticky rice," according to my Caucasian-American culinary professor), and warm miso shiru (Japanese staple of a soup with a fermented soybean paste + dashi stock) \\ tonkatsu - less tender than the chicken, but that's the nature of pork - evenly and thoroughly coated in panko and fried to a crunchy brown - comes with tonkatsu sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce but vegetable-based and with more delightfully complex flavors without being overbearing), salad, rice, and miso soup \\ saba shioyaki (grilled mackerel) - saba = mackerel, shio = salt, yaki = grilled - tl;dr - really really yum (see extended Ode to the Saba below) - comes with rice, miso soup, simple but delightfully crispy and fresh salad \\ all salmon combo - salmon is hands-down my favorite fish for sashimi, nigiri, and sushi, and this platter gave my parents and me plenty of ways to savor it - absolutely succulent - beautiful fish \\ tonkotsu ramen (pork broth) - 2 slices of fish cake, 1 slice of pork, bamboo shoots, pickled veggies, seaweed, bean sprouts - the soup was truly hearty and savory (i finished every drop), and the noodles don't clump, but the perfectly smoked umami-packed pork was the secret star who stole the show - unapologetically authentic Japanese ramen - come here to start your ramen journey properly! \\ dessert: strawberry shortcake + coffee - guys this is huge. i basically never stay in the restaurant for dessert. (that's what dessert places are for!) - we asked about ordering a sheet of cake after sharing this slice... - this cake is a cloud, and the strawberries are happy naked baby cherubs that grace it. the cream is simultaneously rich and light, and it doesn't give me ominous insulin-resistant nightmares. - also what's in Japanese coffee? how is it so so pleasant to drink? no one has to pretend to like it or pretentiously compliment its depth of bitterness or fruitiness... it's just so simply delicious! - we were stuffed, but if you find yourself here for lunch, i highly urge you not to skip dessert! __________ Ode to the Saba: Where do I even begin? This is such a perfect use of this lovely ingredient. What a respectful conclusion to this mackerel's life (sorry PETA and all you fish-lovers). Grilling with salt helps bring the fish's elastic skin to the epitome of savory crisp (English lacks the vocabulary to do it justice), while the grilling process has somehow perfectly preserved the juicy flesh to be flaky and soft in juxtaposition. I'm not usually a fan of fish skin, but this is a must-have. Don't throw the best part out! Fresh radish puree takes this dish into another eigenfunction of light/juicy/freshness that gives the mackerel's tasty omega-3 grease more space to play. Also--don't forget to add lemon! If the concept of umami is still vague to you, let this fish inform you. __________ Wow this was a wordy review. tl;dr - I have no shortage of praises. Japanese food is an art form, and while I do love seeing cultures mingle and experiment, there's no one I'd trust more for authentic tasteful Japanese food than a Japanese chef. If you're just looking for a cheap California roll, you might be happier giving up your table here to the next customer. But if the idea of being teleported to Japan and immersed in a gastronomic quest sounds amazing to you, Sushi Robata is a trusty place to visit. I often think to myself that "hey, this is surprisingly actually pretty good for Dallas" or "this is pretty good for the US," but regarding this restaurant, all I can say is that it's "pretty good." As more and more Japanese restaurants pop up in Dallas, please don't forget Sushi Robata!

Just left the restaurant after having my Fathers Day meal. At first I thought it was going to be a great experience after they were able to seat my family without a reservation. However, things were about to change after we met our server. She was extremely unpleasant. She didn't smile the entire time and kept rushing us to order. We told her we need a few minutes to look at the menu and she kept coming back every 2 minutes asking very rudely are you ready to order yet. When are entrees came she literally tossed a spoon at my 8 year old daughter. She was so rude we couldn't enjoy our food. I was eating my miso soup and she literally took the bowl and was like "oh you're not done with that". The tori karage was terrible. The kissu tempura was delicious. My son ordered a lava roll and it had so much mayonnase it was inedible. My wife's snapper sushi had scales all over it. I'm okay with not so great food sometimes but the server made this an absolute horrible Father's Day.

My family and I have been coming here for 18 years+. I don't see how you can leave this place a bad review. It's a family owned and operated business that has consistently good food and service day in and day out. They fly their fish in weekly from Tokyo and have a large selection of nigiri, rolls, and grilled dishes. The nightly clientele is mainly locals and regulars so I recommend making a reservation in advance.

This place was so delicious!! Admittedly, I'm usually one to stick to my usual type of orders at a sushi place (yellowtail jalapeno, crispy rice tuna, rainbow roll, etc) but I had the absolute pleasure of coming with a couple of Japanese teammates who took charge of ordering! I tried so many new dishes including the squid, fried octopus, sunagimo gizzard, hatsu chicken hearts, and gyu tan beef tongue. All of these were a bit chewier in texture but so flavorful and tasty as everything was seasoned well. They also put the dry spice on the side so you can dip it and control the spiciness which is always a nice touch. The skewers are full of the meats which is nice as I always feel a bit shorted when there are too many veggies mixed in so A+ for portion size. My favorite dishes were the salmon salad and the negima chicken and green onion. The salmon was basically a full order of salmon sashimi with the greens to balance. Fresh and green, what could be any better? The staff was so sweet, respectful, and attentive. You can tell they are doing their best to follow COVID guidelines by spacing tables and wiping things clean. They pour you the soy sauce to limit touching. They are super organized with a little decorative cup to throw away your skewers. I highly recommend the strawberry cake! It is incredibly light and fluffy!!! One of the best desserts to end the meal with for sure. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!

Good food but awful service I came to have lunch and last minute work projects. Had to enter various times to be seated. The hostess was very bothered. The server was really good but when it came time to packing the food because I was rushed to get out- it was 2:15. No bag, the hostess was bothered because I asked for a bag or water to go. Was so so frustrated I rushed and got out. It completely ruined my lunch experience while I was working on social media. Unfortunately business depends on how you are with a customer I was super happy to post and check in for the restaurant because the food was good and the ambience but my experience was awful!
