Great fun and food. They put on a good show and the food quality is exceptional. Super fresh. Great service and energy. Your clothes will smell a little Smokey afterwards so be prepared as everyone sits around the grill. Excellent for families

We brought a group of friends last night after dining here in 2009 with our 5 and 9 year old children. I'm happy to say that Robataya continues the tradition of serving delicious food in the most entertaining, humorous and communal environment. Every dish from the beef, to shrimp, fish, chicken, mushroom, potato and even the sake were some of the best we've had in Japan. The staff are all attentive and only serve to add to the warm, homey atmosphere where guests become part of the show, being tested to see if any have the strength to hold the serving paddle with a small dish balanced. Back in 2009 the children were invited to help with the making of mochi which we were served for dessert. I understand space constraints but that was an integral and special memory. Thanks for a wonderful evening

The food is good, but there are no prices on the menu. In the end, they bring you a bill with extremely high prices for what you actually get, especially considering that most of the dishes are mainly vegetables. The owner also pressures you, in a not very friendly way, to order more food so you’ll spend more. The cooks, however, are friendly and welcoming.

This spot has great food and an amazing experience. The staff are all so kind and helpful, and have fun along with you. It may be “touristy” but if you’re here from out of town/country, that is what you are lol. We had a blast and recommend this spot for an interactive Japan dining experience!

Nah this is NOT the place. Had a nicer review but had to come back to edit this. So buns. No menu with prices, small portions, and mid quality. Got like 8 pieces of sashimi, some grilled veggies, 2 pieces of shrimp, and 1 small fish. Came out to 45,000 Yen for 2 people. Like it’s set up so you don’t even know how much you’re paying. Tastes like the meal prep I make when I’m balling on a budget. Tourist trap wouldn’t recommend it. Can find something similar for wayyyy cheaper.
