Opened in 2010, Robata JINYA reflects cooking techniques and traditions passed down from Tomo’s father combined with his personal deep appreciation for the City of Angels. Now expanding to Honolulu, Hawaii, Robata JINYA plays to traditional robatayaki service of slow charcoal-grilled skewered meats and vegetables as well as exotic sushi and sashimi plates. Tomo aims to provide a lively space where sharing of small plates, as well as conversation, is encouraged. Further supporting the mission of comradery, Tomo chose the name “JINYA” in reference to the historical estates of samurai that later served as community meeting points. Welcome to Robata JINYA.

Wonderful new handroll restaurant tucked away behind Ward Theaters. But they're more than just handrolls- the hamachi carpaccio was excellent and they had a five piece nigiri sampler, which can be either raw or seared (we chose seared and loved it). Service is fantastic and sushi guy was friendly and helpful. They also have a full bar but I didn't check on sakes. There is valet parking ($6) or perhaps park for free at Whole Foods. $100 for two of us, and we were full.

Friends and I were there for the wine pairing dinner. Everything was great. Good food and wine. This time it was a bit livelier than other times. Maybe it was due to the New Year and people were getting together. But always a nice time. Thank you!

Great surprise and off the beaten Waikiki path. Really good beers with lots of variety that support local orgs, and a well executed food menu with lots of rotating specials. Super friendly service and a cool little merch shop in the corner. Would go back without hesitation.

Service was a little slow, but they said they were short staffed that night. Came here a few times and wait time is always long but the food quality for their sushi and sashimi is always great!
