Sublime. I can’t believe I was able to snag a last-minute reservation—and that it wasn’t packed. This was easily the best sushi I’ve ever had. The flavors were thoughtful and unexpected, and the fish was exceptional. My only note: when you sit down, you’re asked upfront how much you’d like to spend, with a $119 minimum. It felt a bit awkward and slightly off-putting from a customer experience standpoint. I would have loved to see this framed instead as a few clearly defined tasting options (e.g., lower, mid, and premium), which would feel more intuitive and welcoming.

Excellent experience at Robin at the sushi bar. Our sushi chef Kay was excellent and was pretty generous with extra sushi pieces. Robin has more unique and bold flavors than a traditional omakase — each bite tastes very unique. My favorite was a black cod sushi. Having been to both the Menlo Park and SF locations, the SF location was definitely a better experience (though both were great). My only complaint is that the MP location offered highballs, whereas SF doesn’t have any cocktails, just beer, wine, and sake.

The staff at Robin will take you on a tour around the globe, pairing the staples of sushi together with local ingredients. A heavy recommendation for anyone who enjoys pushing boundaries of food pairings. We opted for the 150 omakase and found it to be very filling and varied. Definitely get the ice cream. Shoutout to Dave, Gary, and Thai for being so welcoming at the bar. We had so many questions! Another shoutout to our sake sommelier for the excellent recommendations and glassware pairing. Those cups were truly beautiful. Finally, big ups to the expo Karma. Wouldn’t have come here otherwis

1 star because my friend got food poisoning from their sashimi. It was so unfresh she's still unwell and bedridden today (Monday) This was a very disappointing experience. One star goes to the cozy, intimate atmosphere with a modern touch. I had noted during the reservation that it was my birthday, but there was no acknowledgment at all. No note, no "happy birthday" at the table. The service was also lacking. We weren't given an Omakase menu, so we had no idea what we were eating. There was no palate cleanser (ginger) unless we specifically asked, and when it came, the ginger was overly stro
