It was amazing! Firstly, the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, the service is unobtrusive. Secondly, the dishes are served on wonderful dishes - the plates are magnificent. Thirdly, the preparation itself is like balm for the soul. The food itself is simply magical! First they served a salad with grapes, from which we fell silent and could not even speak, savouring this aroma and taste of grapes, fish and sauce! And I am delighted with the amazing taste of sea urchin and caviar, the combination of ingredients - it's the bomb! It's divine! Yes, it's not cheap, but it's worth it. The restaurant is difficult to find - they do not spend money on a sign and advertising. It's just in a house, on the first floor, without a sign or lights, the blinds are lowered - a navigator will help you. Special thanks to the waitress from Serbia named Bojana - charming and will tell you a lot about the dishes. I highly recommend gourmets and aesthetes to visit this restaurant. I will definitely come back here soon!

Amazing Omakase menu with great service.   Different takes on sushi with Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Californian fusion.  Soups and noodles were loved by the kids.  Good sake pairings with staff guiding the way.

it’s rare for me to give 1 star reviews but i genuinely felt scammed at robin. posing itself as an inventive or modern omakase by adding random ingredients to a dish without any sense of flavor combinations, or flavor at all, the majority of the courses were bland or too salty. i have a small appetite but still left hungry due to the tiny fish portions, which never happens.

service was fine but odd, servers were too casual and didn’t match the aesthetic they were going for.

lastly, the meal was crazy expensive for no reason. you’re using supposedly high quality fish but watering it down with either pricy flavorless ingredients or loud spices.

overall, robin is doing a disservice to omakase and those testing out fine dining for the first time. go elsewhere.

Robin is a restaurant that's tucked in a corner and is difficult to find.

We booked the restaurant probably a week and half in advance to ensure that we secured a counter seat where you get served straight from the chef themselves.

Atmosphere is really nice. We had great vibes in there and everyone is friendly.

Our chef today was Gary and he was excellent. Everything I tried today was great quality and had me smiling with every bite. I was never a fan of Uni but this place changed my mind and now I friggin love Uni.

We had a total of 23-25 pieces and was extremely filling.

If you ever swing by, try out the place. You won't regret it.

We did omakase here for date night! The food was great but I don’t think it was worth the price. It was great sashimi and the add-on flavors/smoke/sauces did elevates the taste, however it was soooo expensive for very little fish. My husband loved each sushi piece, as did I, but I would’ve loved it the same as if I were in a lower tier sushi experience without the added sauces. It felt very ~extra~

The noodles included in the cheapest omakase option ($109) were absolutely horrendous, as well as the soup was just offensively plain and basic. The alcohol was also overpriced in my opinion, but maybe that is all of California lol.

The worst part of the experience I have to say was our sushi chef who didn’t even attempt to be personable for 2 seconds, spent the rest of the time clearly unhappy at his job and reciting what we were eating like he was reading the most boring book ever. Here are some direct quotes: “Oh I have never been to any omakase restaurants just this one, and only because I work here,” “I don’t know [anything about the area] I just got this job a few months ago,” and “Are any of you guys insta famous? Because that would be really annoying.” 🤣
