I do what I usually do in places I've never been before and try the Ramen. I usually google Best Ramen in "so-and-so city" wherever I am I've never traveled outside of the United States, but I've tried Ramen in about 25 states and hands-down. This was probably the best Ramen I've ever had and probably the best experience customer service I've ever had at a Ramen place. I tried their signature Tonkotsu Ramen to go, I walked in to pick up the Roman to go and was met really friendly faces. All the staff greeted me all at once looked at me and was smiling ear to ear. It was great , I got back to the hotel and ate it and it was a once in a lifetime experience!, best ramen I've ever had in fact it was so good I went back the very next day and got their fried chicken ramen and it was just as fantastic! I don't k ow which I liked better. The ambiance was great too!,

Once inside, I was directed to a table in the corner. The service was prompt, and we received our orders quickly. A younger gentleman approached us and seemed a bit confused when I asked about the drink menu. We were looking for sake, and they had a decent selection of both wine and sake, but nothing particularly exciting. We decided to try the Hana white peach sake, which was a pleasant surprise. The food menus were in a state of disrepair, with staples holding them together. We started with some appetizers, including pork gyoza, crab rangoon, and spicy edamame. The pork gyoza was delicious, but the crab rangoon was quite crunchy and flakey with not much flavor. The spicy edamame tasted like it had been soaked in Franks' Hot sauce or Sriracha sauce, which I wasn't a fan of. I wish I had ordered them regular instead. For sushi, I opted for a shrimp tempura roll and a rainbow roll, both of which satisfied my craving. Overall, it was a decent experience for the price, but nothing stands out that would bring me back again and again like other places. I might come back and try the ramen and see if that changes my mind.

Located in the Delmar Loop, there are a lot of good restaurants but I highly encourage you to check this spot out. While I dined in, it seems perfect for takeout too. The 'Three Cup Chicken' was a big time winner with crispy chicken thighs, cooked perfectly and very flavorful. We also tried the chili oil dumplings, and some sort of magical green tea drink. Service was good, vibes are good, and really it's a great spot. I feel like you could probably point anywhere on the menu and find something that sounds delicious, including their boba and other tea drinks. Go check this spot out!

The ordering process is super easy:…read moreit's self-serve, so you place your order at your table, and they'll bring the food to your table. My absolute favorite dish is the Chengdu Zajiang (dry noodles). It's a savory noodle dish served with a side of broth, a fried egg, and no soup. I always order mine medium spicy, and it never disappoints. Every time I bring friends here, they end up trying a bite of my noodles, and without fail, they order the same thing the next time we come back The prices are reasonable, making it a great option for students or anyone looking for a delicious meal without spending too much. Whether you're grabbing dinner with friends or just in the area, this is definitely a spot I'd recommend trying.

I think…read morethere may not be enough seating for its customer demand... that's a sign of a popular place. Happy hour prices + the food quality are what had my friend invite me here. Some rolls are half off and so are a few beverages, like hot sake. I had never had hot sake. I've only had any sake once. I liked it fine, but I didn't want a second order after I finished the first. I was disappointed that Robata was out of plum wine. Instead I ordered what was described as a white sangria, but it tasted more like a brandy. I had a few sips and gave it to my friend. I had 4 vegetarian sushi rolls. Only the asparagus was included with happy hour. My 3 other rolls were takuan, pickle plum and BB. As much as I like plum (keep reading), and takuan was a pleasant surprise, and the asparagus was good, the BB, which has tempura asparagus, cream cheese, and sweet soy, was my favorite item of the evening. I was happy to see umeboshi onigiri on the lengthy menu. These were of a good size, but I think it perhaps would have benefitted from a higher pickled plum to rice ratio. (The only time I've had it has been from a food truck and I don't know how representative it is of onigiri.) Each order of food took a while to come out. My friend had trouble getting the server's attention when she wanted to put in more orders. Robata is not a place for a quick happy hour bite. It's going to take a while, especially if you're ordering in multiple rounds like we did. When the kitchen got too busy, my order another roll was denied. That happened well before dinner service ended and it was disappointing. I would have waited a bit longer. But it was probably good to get cut off from sushi at some point. We were a little confused by the bills. My friend may have overpaid (not gotten happy hour price) for some of her items, and there was some question about whether mine had been billed correctly, but in the end we decided that mine was probably correct. Hers, though... we aren't sure. I think I'll return to Robata for the BB roll, plum wine, and maybe something new, but I will be sure to have plenty of time, order a bunch all at once, and check the bill.

Since my source for umeboshi onigiri seems to have ceased operations (does anyone know what…read morehappened to the Izumi food truck?), i was pretty excited to see pickled plum rice balls on the menu here. I came with a friend for happy hour. We got the half off sushi (which included the mackerel nigiri, which is my FAVORITE (Tho, theirs isn't as good as Sushi Hanna in Alton)) and house hot sake, which was perfect for this freezing week. The heat was out? Which the waitress apologized for. They had a space heater out, so we sat right by that. I also ordered a few of the onigiri to go. They aren't the best I've had, but I'll probably be back semi-regularly to get my fix of the flavor, which is just so unique. Same for half off mackerel Maybe one day I'll even try their non-sushi offerings...
