This place was a pleasant surprise! We called the other hibachi place in town (had higher ratings) and were sad to hear they don't actually do the show, they just serve the food. BUT! All worked out in our favor because this place was amazing. Show was fun, staff was attentive, and the food...literally, some of the best food I've had in the area in a LONG time. I know it's only a small part of the meal, but the fried rice loaded up with yum yum sauce is something I will be raving about and craving for a long time (hopefully not too long, because we'll be going back soon)! Did the filet as well, and it was tender and seasoned well. Well done, Robata! read more

Just went to this place to try it out. It's pretty bad to say that as far as I felt it was OK. Maybe two steps above gas station sushi. I'd rather take the extra few miles and go into a real Japanese restaurant. A place where you get served sushi that to me in my opinion is correct. One of the rolls I got was the spicy salmon. The salmon was so finally chopped. I would say it was ground and the amount within the role was small. And that's all it was in the sushi spicy tuna. If it was a quarter of an inch wide, it was lucky. I could say the best part was the service was right on. They were extremely attentive. But I don't eat that. I eat the food. Will not be going back. read more

Came in at about 1:30 to enjoy lunch by myself. My server was extremely prompt even helping me decide what I might enjoy most. I decided on the salmon hibachi lunch menu combo. I wasn't looking for anything extremely heavy so he stated this was a great choice. The soup was very flavorful. More flavor than most miso soups I've had in the past. The salad w plenty of that delicious ginger dressing! When my salmon came out, it was brought on a bed of sautéed red onions, which paired great. It was flakey as well so cooked perfectly. Even tho I ordered one of the smaller dishes, I could not finish it all. Great little lunch spot with a calm atmosphere for one in between the hustle and bustle of the day! read more

Very small out of the way place in a small strip mall. The decor was minimal, but the staff was extremely friendly, warm, and inviting. They were more than willing to deal with my dining party's extremely finicky pallets. One of my dining companion ordered would could only be described as a full bucket of sashimi and was very happy with it. My NY strip and scallops were very good as were all the included sides with the hibachi style dinner. The prices were extremely reasonable, and I was very happy with the final bill. Overall, I wouldn't being a first date here, but it's a great family sit down restaurant where you're going to feel the hospitality as soon as you set foot in the door. read more

Good, solid hibachi experience at Robata today! We came in for a late lunch/early dinner. They were accommodating that some folks wanted the lunch and others wanted the dinner menu, which was nice. Prices are average for a hibachi restaurant, and they have a ton of combination options for dinner but less so for lunch...so went with dinner knowing we'd probably have a bunch leftover. My husband got the filet and shrimp, and I got the scallops and shrimp. In addition to the hibachi, my husband and I also ordered the Volcano roll. It was super good, and we'd order it again. The dinner was cooked well with the usual fanfare and theatrics one expects at a hibachi restaurant. The cook was jovial and quick. We enjoyed that dinner comes with rice and noodles, which is a little of a nuance from other hibachi restaurants where we've eaten. We had a ton of food to bring him though I will say it was a bit heavier on the rice and noodles than veggie portions. In terms of the restaurant itself, it needs a little love. It's not terrible but could use some TLC in the near future. However, food is good and that's what I ultimately use to judge a restaurant when it comes to reviews. Overall, it was a super sold visit today and somewhere we would come again. read more

We came here with family who had recently moved into the area. We were seated fairly quickly and our orders were taken quickly too! The hibachi style service was very good, and of course entertaining! Overall the portions were fairly large. Something odd to us was that each hibachi meal came with shrimp on the side. We had never seen something like that before! The restaurant itself was lacking in terms of being taken care of. There were water stains on the walls and ceiling tiles, and the bathrooms weren't the cleanest either. Parts of the restaurant seemed a little run down. Overall the food was good, but the restaurant itself needs an update/good cleaning! read more

This place has the best hibachi! Oh my god amazing. I've never seen a place you get more than fried rice either. You get fried rice, 2 shrimp, veggies, and noodles that tasted outstanding (a garlic flavor), plus your protein. And the staff is so unbelievably friendly. I can't say enough good things about it. I'll be back. read more

Very courteous and welcoming. The chef himself welcomed us with open arms, and introduced us to their menu. He actually made my wife a unique sushi roll which she enjoyed. This place is great. Really enjoyed being here. read more

The restaurant isn't fancy like Aji, but it's clean with well maintained decor. The food and cost were average. The service team awesome. The staff cooked some food in the back to avoid cross contamination of meat/seafood and other foods. They also took time to sing happy birthday to my nephew and my deceased son's memory. I recommend and will go back. read more

The food is awesome! Sashimi is so so fresh !!! Everyone enjoy the food here ! Great restaurants! read more

Went there for wife's birthday with the extended family. Had a couple of kids and grandparents too. We all were SUPER impressed all around. From the filet to the martini to all the trimmings, it was 99% perfect (cook the shrimp a little less). The rice and pasta were absolutely delicious and the yum yum sauce was exactly what the same says! Service was amazing, I don't think we had a drink ever go past half empty and the chef was amazing. Chatted him up a bit and he was very pleasant. We all were cracking up over the pee pee water bottles he used to spray some water all around. It's exactly as the name states and was hilarious! The show of a hibachi was as good as anywhere I've been around Orlando. The place is huge! Have lived out here for years and didn't know we had this gem in our backyard. Walked in the door expecting a couple tables and a small interior. Nothing could be farther from the truth. read more

Our son went to this restaurant for a Summer Camp field trip. He brought home left over noodles with Yum Yum sauce so we decided to order Robata as take out for dinner! The portions are huge. Food was temperature hot. We ordered the Chicken & NY Strip Hibachi and the NY Strip & Shrimp Hibaci. Both come with vegetables, fried rice, noodles, soup and two large shrimp. Our child loved the experience and the food from the restaurant on his trip and we loved the delicious food from take out. We plan on going to have a family dinner sometime soon at the restaurant to have the full experience my child had on his trip, but I wanted to leave a review for their take out! read more

As someone who goes to hibachi quite often this experience was average to below average. You pay for what to get. We went for an early lunch and the pricing was good, however the food and experience (the show of it all) was average or less than. The fried rice was excellent, the steak and shrimp were decent, the vegetable side and noodles were disappointing. I did a noodle add on and didn't even eat them, they were not very appetizing. The show experience was also quite mediocre. I personally wouldn't go back but if you're looking for decent hibachi style food with not the best performance this isn't an awful spot - just average. read more

Food was acceptable except sushi rolls cut too thick. Ambiance was nice. Waiter service unfortunately was miserable , which ruined our lunch. The gentleman was in a sad mood, no smile, and extremely disinterested in his job and his guests. Will not return for this reason. read more

The food here is amazing! Japanese food has always been my families favorite cuisine and this place brings it to a whole new level. I tried eel for the first time here and it was outstanding! I highly recommend going here. read more

Great service and sushi. A little dated inside, but that doesn't stop us from going here frequently.

Food great . Wonderful experience! Chef was very entertaining. . We also had with Instacart delivery. Food was great also.

Service was great and our waiter was very attentive. He provided optimal service, while allowing us time to enjoy our meal and have a meaningful conversation. Food has been delicious each time we have visited this restaurant. The chicken and steak hibachi always hits the spot and tastes fresh. The sushi rolls are amazing and they offer a wide variety. The ambiance is nice for a date or catching up with friends. On both our visits, we've opted to sit at a "regular" table opposed to the hibachi one. Would recommend and will revisit again soon. read more

Read the mixed reviews and was cautious going in. Don't let the reviews dissuade you. This place was delicious and the staff was fun and attentive. My only complaint was that the shrimp sample was definitely overcooked and rubbery. It was the first thing the chef put on to cook, but the last thing he served. Other hibachi places, the shrimp is served pretty quick. It doesn't take long to cook shrimp, especially on their cooking equipment. I am glad I didn't order shrimp in my main meal as it probably would've been overcooked as well. Steak cooked perfectly. read more

The food was amazing first time the hubby had hibachi and he loved it. Our chef was funny and very kind kept offering us sake. Kept us very entertained and talked to u. Everyone in the establishment was very polite and very friendly and i would highly recommend this place to everyone. The portions were a lot. And everyone was very attentive. It was only us two at the hibachi table but we didn't have to wait long for our chef to come and cook for us. The place was clean and they had plenty of space and tables. Can't wait to go back again. read more

This is a place of how should I say in a nice way, ah I can't. The place is big but is reminiscent of a prison lunch room like you see on TV. When you walk in, the first thing you're hit with is the smell of fish. My past experience with sushi places is that if it smells like fish walk out, that is a sign that the fish is not fresh. Well, my buddy was like, "Let's just try it. Against my better judgment, I stayed reluctantly. Well, let's just say serviced sucked. The cup was dirty, and the food tasted like cheap sushi you'd buy at 7-11 if they sold sushi at 7-11. I'd prefer sushi from Publix before I eat the dry and fishy tasting crap they try selling as sushi. You can dress up a turd but it's still a turd. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in here on our way to Apopka for the Halloween Weekend. We were seated on the empty side of the eatery and our waiter was very prompt and friendly. We ordered off both the sushi menu and I had a fried pork meal. We were very happy with how fast it all came out (It wasn't busy) and how tasty everything was. If they were closer I'd probably visit again. read more

Robata Japanese Steak House - my food - Japanese Near Me - Clermont, Florida

We came for an early Friday night family dinner. We wanted to have a hibachi dinner for something fun and out of the ordinary. We were the only customers in the restaurant when we arrived. We were seated immediately and had our drink orders taken promptly. The waiter and chef were both friendly and entertaining. The kids get a kick out of the cheesy jokes and watching the food cooked in front of them. Quite obviously, the food is cooked fresh without the use of microwaves or heat lamps. My sirloin was slightly over cooked, but tasty. All of the sides were good and the veggies had just a little crispness to them. I have to take 1 star away because the table they sat us at had some dried up rice around the grill. The chef scraped that up as soon as he started to prep his area. read more

Great hibachi and sushi. Friendly atmosphere. Great service. Lots of Birthday parties happing. Highly recommend.

I ordered my food from Uber. I was working all day and didn't feel like cooking tonight. unfortunately, my favorite hibachi place is closed on Mondays but I really wanted hibachi so I thought why not try this place... well that was a mistake. I got the sirloin steak hibachi (medium rare). My steak with DRY and well done is an under statement. I could only eat two pieces. I asked for only broccoli as my vegetable and they were raw not even cooked slightly. The rice and noodles were bland and didn't look appetizing at all. Unfortunately, I'm down $30 and still had to cook in the end. I'm not order from here again that's for sure! read more
