Great place to try out fusion Japanese food, the portions were a little small for the price you pay but very tasty. I had amazing service by two waiters. I believe a man was Latin and the lady was Italian, they did their very best in recommending us dishes in a very friendly manner. The one star is missing is due to the manager who I believe sounded Eastern European & wash pushing us to rush with the order with a mean tone. I hope the owners find a different manager because they have an amazing team except for the one bad apple.

The food was absolutely amazing! We had bottomless brunch which was super boozy! And the beef robata... outstanding! Will definitely come back! The staff is super lovely and smiley which makes the experience even better! Don't you worry if you are gluten free they have stunning options- finger licking good!

It was just right for date night. Nice mood lighting for a relaxed evening. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food arrived hot and fast. Everything ordered tasted great. Would highly recommend if feeling for Japanese cuisine.

Attended a birthday and I was slightly anxious in the beginning about whether there would be nice vegan options. It’s safe to say I was positively surprised as the food was some of the best vegan food I have had in London! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I can’t wait to be back.

Had a good dinner at Robata. Overall good value for money. An unusual mix of Japanese and other influences. There were some logistical issues that I thought could be improved and I have emailed the restaurant to provide feedback.
