Robata

This is one of my favorite Stl sushi spots. I love the vibe of the interior and also love sitting on the patio. It’s purposefully redesigned from a fast food place which is funky and interesting. Ultimately the sushi is just so good that we usually end up grabbing takeout out but it’s a great place for a casual date night or for dinner with friends.

The only place in town that has onigiri (rice balls)! I love their baked salmon onigiri, pork gyoza, and Tonkotsu ramen. They serve ramen, sushi, many authentic Japanese dishes and they have a ton of fun and creative appetizers. They have a sake happy hour special each week and Monday nights they serve $8 ramen (dine-in only). You get a choice of 3 of their different ramens to choose from: Tori (chicken broth) Tonkotsu (pork broth), and a vegetarian option. It's a small cafe with a few half booth/half chair tables, some bar seats and plenty of outdoor tables. They are currently only open at night around 5pm onwards; no lunch service. They have a parking lot, so no off-street parking necessary. I highly recommend them! They also have takeout, but currently aren't using any services. You have to go there to pick up. One Piece is usually always on at the bar while you wait.

Delicious! Put off going there because I thought it was "just another noodle place." What a big menu! Great sushi. The broiled spinach salad is tastey. My picky daughter loved everything. Looking forward to coming back and working my way around the menu. Nice staff. Great service. Love sitting at the counter.

Genuinely the best ramen I’ve had in STL area. When I walked in the gentleman was very kind and very attentive and welcomed all questions. The food was very fresh and made in the open kitchen and came to our table very quickly. Multiple times for good deals throughout the week. I would highly recommended this place to anyone! Absolutely lovely place!!!

First time to Robata and it was great! We ordered two sushi rolls, raman, and gyu don (a rice bowl with beef). They were all so delicious! Our waitress was very attentive and had good food suggestions. Can't wait to come back and try other menu items! The place is small and quaint so if you have a larger party, I would recommend calling ahead.
