   We lived in Japan for 3 years so we know Japanese food and Robun was wonderful.

   Whilst the food is pretty good, we dont understand why they bring all the small plates out at once - your food goes cold if you follow their recommendation of 6-8 dishes for two people. Service was poor - with very little communication from the service team, yet they seem very happy to chat to themselves ! Personally, I think the food is overpriced for what it is and the overall experience. We wouldn’t be going back due to the overall experience being below expectations. Service and value we feel is as important as the food.

   We had a great experience at Robyn. It was our first visit, the staff were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious - we tried the tasting set menu which exceeded expectations. We don’t live locally but we’ll be back next time we visit.

   We went in search of the best sushi we could find - and we found it at Robun in Bath! With the friendly and attentive service of Paige and Bea, classical ambience and simply great food - this was a great meal at a really affordable price.

    Underwhelming and rather disappointing experience which left us feeling a bit ripped off. Restaurant was very busy as expected but felt a bit chaotic at times and noise levels from other guests rose to a level that disturbed our experience. Saying that, I would commend the manager who fairly quickly addressed that situation by asking them to quieten down. The menu states that dishes will be served as they become ready indicating that this should be a positive aspect of dining here. The reality of that approach was ending up with a mish mash of things on the table that didn’t go together. Example, we ordered rice as a side to accompany the meat/seafood main dishes, but one bowl of rice turned up with starters such as gyoza and the other randomly showed up later on, by which time the first bowl had gone cold. The sushi came at the end but on the set menu it is laid out to suggest it would be served early which would be preferable. We received the octopus dish early and then lamb towards the end yet these were both presented as ‘main’ type dishes. I think some semblance of order of service is needed as it was random to the point where it delivered a pretty dissatisfying eating experience overall. Whilst the food largely tasted good, we thought it was on the whole overpriced, we had the wagyu beef entree and even though I appreciate this type of beef is relatively expensive, four 50p diameter sized thin wafer thin slices with some surrounding garnish at a price of over £10 felt like pushing it a tad. Happy to pay for quality and presentation to a point, but feel in many places Robun fell short of justifying what they charged. A few little bits of drama with smoke and glass domes didn’t add enough to make the bill feel worth it for us. We were genuinely disappointed because we love sushi and Japanese food so were excited to try this place and wish it had delivered what we were anticipating, sorry to have to honestly say it didn’t on this occasion
