Robata style Japanese food in Soho; you simply can’t go wrong! 🇯🇵💁🏽‍♀💁🏽‍♂
.
Robata definitely deserves more recognition as the food is crazy good! To start with we ordered the Crispy Squid and a few skewers, including the Lamb Breast, Corn on the Cob and Chicken Skewer. All the skewers were delicious, especially the Lamb as it was mouth-wateringly juicy 😛 You can really taste the difference with the robata style of cooking the meats. The Crispy Squid was also really good- the batter was insanely crunchy and had a buttermilk taste. One of the best items was the Spicy Tuna Maki topped with caviar; a pocket of bursting flavours- definitely up there with Sushi Samba, if not tastier!

We were also told that they do halal Wagyu Beef Steak off the menu, so we decided to try it out. We love wagyu beef as the texture of the meat is finer and there’s greater marbling, which makes it more succulent and flavoursome than other types of steaks 🤤 We were definitely not dissappointed as the steak was unbelievably tender and full of flavour! 
On our next visit here, we hope to try more of the Sushi and Bao Buns which looked amazing 😍

P.S. despite the meats being halal, some are cooked with alcohol or have sauces containing alcohol- be sure to check with the waiters before ordering.

Service: 9/10
Overall: 8.5/10

EDIT P.s our bad guys, apparently the skewers are cooked on the same grill as the pork. A member of staff went through each item on the menu informing us of whether it is halal or not but we didn’t think to ask about where each item was cooked!

@twopeasfoodies's review of Robata Soho on Instagram

One of my best places of 2019 at the Japanese restaurant @robata.soho with some beautiful Japanese dishes.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣The beef tataki was brilliant as was the sushi I had. I got 2 types of bao buns, fried chicken (1st) and soft shell crab. Both were just epic. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
The star of the show was the Hay Flamed Beef Fillet. At £25 for only 200g of meat, its a pricey dish, but you get your own little Robata at your table to cook your meat and the accompanied sides that included chimichurri was just delicious. ⁣⁣⁣
Please note. The beef and chicken are halal. However, items from the Robata Skewers section are cooked on the same grill as pork. There for there is confirmed cross contamination. So I didn't order from this part of the menu, coz I don't want any chance of peppa pig juice on my chicken. ⁣

ROBATA

Even with the eat out 50%Off it still feels expensive lol 😂
Luckily we only wanted a snack, but if we were hungry for dinner then yea good luck... 😅
Food was good, but not mind blowing justify their usual rate kinda good.
In particular their tuna tartare while using nice ingredients, you can only taste them by separating them. The crisp overpowers the truffle mayo, and the sesame oil in the tuna overpowers the caviar, it's balanced quite poorly.

I went here on a date and we both had a wonderful experience! We chose a quiet time, 5:30 pm. The staff were incredibly nice, and understanding when I asked for some advice regarding portions. The food was perfect, we ordered some small dishes for sharing. The dessert selection is quite limited but tasty nonetheless. We’ll definitely come back next time we go to Soho.

Tried this spot in the past with my friend and I am hooked since then. I like the excellent atmosphere and fresh food and beverages. They never disappoint.

Great food, friendly service and good value. The bao buns are particularly nice, as are the robata skewers. Decent selection of sake and Japanese whiskey.

Best restaurant in Soho! Staff is friendly,the food is delicious, cocktails are just beyond everything

Not all of our meat dishes are Halal due to the marinade. However, our chicken and beef fillet is Halal. If you do want to order dishes please let us know preferably in a day in advance so we can change the recipe to cater to your requirements.
