Robata Jones is an "izakaya" specialising in grilled dishes using the freshest meat, fish and vegetables. With an extensive sake list, it is the perfect spot for a relaxed and fun evening. Located in the Artarmon district along with other businesses, Robata Jones boasts a unique “little Tokyo” atmosphere, and takes you back to Japan! The grilled eel-unagi kabayaki- and other perfectly roasted dishes are a must-try!

    We’ve dined at this local gem on several occasions and each time, the staff was attentive and the food was good. Came for my birthday on the last outing and the staff made such a lovely fuss. Food is always spot on and cooked well.

    The portions are shrinking substantially while prices creep up every few weeks. We used to love coming here and visited often. We probably will refrain from coming back because we feel somewhat ripped off now. The staff are always warm and friendly but it’s not enough to draw us back

    We reserved a table for two few weeks ago. When we arrived the restaurant, There were a few tables for two people available but we were allocated to a small table. Services are not bad but the front end staff who greets the customer look blank.
