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

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.

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!

Don’t let all the negative reviews sway you from how fun this place actually is. The service was exceptional. The food is good. The whole experience is part of what you are paying for. We had a great time and shared drinks with a family sitting next to us. If you’re looking for something cheap, don’t bother. But if you’re looking to have a fun dining experience, this place was great!

This was the most disappointing experience in our Japan trip!!! Too much show, good food, but nothing extraordinary, the bill was 80 000 for a dinner of 2 people with couple of beers and several glasses of sake!!!! Unbelievable!!! In comparison we went for a lunch to the blow minded fantastic omakase for 50 000, but it was experience beyond everything. Do not recommend go this place, sincerely very disappointed ☹️.
