I had an amazing experience here! It was a late Wednesday night, we were driving down Weho on our way to Wockano’s as I was craving Sushi, when by fate we passed by this familiar looking, eclectic new restaurant. The familiarity was the homeyness of the design from the outside looking in. Some mystery inside awaiting to be unraveled. We had to try it.

The inside decor was even more impressive. With higher-end trendy sushi spots like Nobu & Sushi roku, and it’s ridiculous pricing, I’ve shyed away from sushi spots in these prime locations. Robata Jinya actually felt like I was in Japan. It was trendy, authentic, cozy, with a variety of designs that one’s eye would never stop wandering.

We ordered many things on the menu tapas style and was not dissapointed with ANY. The dishes were all delivered in unique sophisticated presentations. I ordered the Shishito pepper, mixed mushroom wrapped in foil, spicy tuna on crispy rice. We didn’t order the ramen but it looked and smelled delish.

Tower of sashimi with spicy sauce.

The organic tofu which was delivered as soy liquid, and then poured into a large wooden cup which cooked the tofu within 3 minutes. A side dish of fish flakes, green onions, soy sauce and unidentifiable yummy seasoning.

The menu was reasonably priced (approx. 20-25$ per person) especially for it’s location and I’d recommend it for a fun date night, birthdays, casual dining, late night dining.. basically for any occasion. It’s definitely made top of my list and will become a regular.
