Roppongi Robata & Sushi — Restaurant in New York

My family and I had the absolute pleasure of attending the tuna cutting event at Roppongi Robata, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was electric, filled with excitement, curiosity, and an incredible appreciation for Japanese culinary artistry.

Watching the chef expertly break down an entire bluefin tuna right in front of us was nothing short of mesmerizing. Every movement was precise, skillful, and educational. The team took the time to explain each cut, the texture differences, and how each one would be prepared turning the whole event into both a show and a masterclass.

And then came the sushi. Every bite was fresh, buttery, and bursting with flavor. The toro was melt-in-your-mouth amazing, and the presentation was just as beautiful as the taste. You could feel the care and craftsmanship behind every single piece.

A special shoutout to Vincent, our host for the evening, who made the entire experience even better. He was warm, engaging, and made everyone feel welcome. His energy and attention to detail elevated the event and made it truly memorable.

If you’re a sushi lover or even if you’re new to Japanese cuisine, Roppongi Robata is an absolute must-visit. The tuna cutting event is an experience you won’t forget. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and a team that genuinely loves...

After living and visiting Japan several times, this place BLEW ME AWAY.

Ever single aspect of our meal was exceptional. Outstanding freshness, incredible service, and flavor profiles that had me sitting in silent bliss so I could savor every ounce of deliciousness.

One of the best lunches I’ve had. It was very clean, and everything was very high quality.

We went with the 15 course Omakase and were absolutely enchanted. It left us feeling perfectly full, but not too full. Flavors were indescribably excellent.

Alan, the sushi chef, has incredible talent, and his sushi is true art. Vincent is a wonderful host and made us feel so at home. Already making plans to come back for robata!!

(I almost don’t want to leave this review so it can be my secret) They have FRESH wasabi and fly their in from Japan fresh. Everyone gave such attention to detail and care to every dish, every course, every conversation.

The owner even robata-ed us some gingko nuts! Humbled by the care and attention given. Make a reservation or come for lunch to ensure...

We wanted to try this spot for omakase. We were able to get fast reservations which was nice. On arrival greeted very nicely in Japanese by the staff. The staff is great and our waiter was very attentive with everything. The issue is that this was not a great omakase experience. The chef had great fish selection but the presentation was just ok nothing over the top. The counter seething is far from the chef so you have to reach over to get your items. He was also making items so fast so you did not have time to break in between to really savor and enjoy the fish. This was because they have other items on the menu and we were the only guests for omakase. I wish it was more authentic omakase as other places.

The Sake list is great and reasonable pricing. The menu does offer e other items including Robata which we did not do. For the pricing I would have expected a better experiance. This is a great sushi spot with the offerings but would not go again...
