Not saying the food doesn't taste good but it could definitely be better. A lot of people there when we got in so crowded and expectedly, slow. I picked $150 set with my friend, and we both did not get full. My favorite is the last pic. read more

Very small restaurant, definitely need reservations! This review is long overdue, as I went in Dec 2022. I can't remember how much we opted for, the server offered a range of $100-200 I believe, and we went for something in the middle. You choose how much you want to pay, and we were hungry. The portion we chose was perfect, we were both full. Each omakase piece was amazing/flavorful! They were brought out one by one and the server would explain the dish in detail. Definitely an expensive meal, our bill ended up being $400 for two and that was with tip. I probably wouldn't go here again, as it isn't traditional omakase and more experimental. read more

I've heard so many mixed reviews about Robin, and it is safe to say I am a fan! I like that their pricing is flexible, you can choose a sliding scale menu between $100-200pp, and you can let them know your fish preferences. My husband and I opted for $150pp and wanted to try all the uni pieces, and less of the fatty fish variety i.e. ootoro. We were so pleased with the courses, there was a good mix of fresh fish nigiri pieces and fusion small plates that played up the flavors and creativity of the chef. Also, the attention to detail for glassware, stemware, utensils, and even the chopstick holders were all so high quality and elegant! I can tell the restaurant really put a lot of pride and effort in the entirety of the concept, and I would highly recommend dining here for a night of great sushi and ambiance! read more

Was excited to go back to Robin today, being one of my favorite omakase restaurants pre covid, but left very disappointed tonight. We did the top omakase option ($199/pp), and every single piece lacked flavor. I almost asked for soy sauce but didn't want to be disrespectful, that's how bad it was. I'm not the type to complain but tonight was such a disappointment here I am writing this review. Robin used to have an intimate omakase setting but seems like it's a regular sushi restaurant now the way they are mass making these nigiri pieces for customers at the bar, tables inside and outside. Omakase menu is the exact same as 2019's, minus some minor ingredients on some pieces (compared my 2019 pictures that I still have saved). Tonight's dinner was overall a 5/10. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Robin. I feel like it's commonplace to already have a general 'expectation' when going out for omakase -- fresh and high quality fish, treated with the utmost care. But Robin's a little different in that they play with seasonal ingredients, fruits, and textures that take a good amount of culinary knowledge in how to produce in order to procure these creative, delectable little bites that leave you going, "Wow, that was different, but it works!" If you're new to omakase, this place may not be for you. But if you've already grown to appreciate 'traditional'-style omakase, Robin is, in my opinion, an excellent way to venture out and see that there's more to be offered. I've always been a 'sushi purist', but Robin helped me realize that there's a certain charm and appeal to more creative takes on familiar ingredients to produce refreshing, new flavors. It's amazing how culinary scenes evolve and branch out as more people dare to experiment. Overall, a great place to dine for all. I came here with a reservation on a rather chilly night and was able to be seated early -- our waitress and chef for the night were so, so kind and very attentive. Definitely recommended to try out at least once, if you haven't yet. read more

This is the best omakase I've ever been to. It was a truly unique experience. I was super happy when I left. You can pick your price 100 plus$. I picked the 120$ option and I was full when I left. The chef was so nice. The place was super clean. The service was amazing. Each piece was so amazing so unique; you can really tell that they put a lot of thought into each presented nigiri or dish. The fish was so fresh. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had, I've been to a couple of Omakase places and this is not very traditional and it's very experimental but I personally love it. I think it's very hard to develop unique recipes and tastes, and every time the chef explained each piece I could really taste the difference. I personally think that it was worth every penny. read more

This place floored me. The vibes are great, the staff is friendly, but most importantly, the menu was mouthwateringly fantastic - dare I say the best FOOD (not even just sushi) that I've ever had. It is certainly on my top 3 list. Everything was curated to be perfectly balanced, not too salty, not too spicy. I also love the sliding scale price - you get to choose your budget/amount of food and preferences. I'm smol so $120 is the perfect size menu to make me full but not explode. Their plum sake is exquisite - though I came back a second time and they didn't have any left because they apparently ferment it in-house in limited quantities! Must have: the wagyu, the toro, the truffle sake nigiri (my favorite) read more

Robin - Truffle nirgiri and squash soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I loved Robin's hip vibes and their contemporary take on traditional omakase. It was worth it for the value we picked ($150). The price was also encouraged by the chef and we were satiated. I was wowed by the flavor combinations and in awe of the presentation and stoneware. The staff was very attentive and provided amazing service. I really appreciate the 90s/ 2000s hip-hop RnB playlist that gave it such a throwback, hip vibe! Robin was definitely a unique omakase experience and I highly recommend checking this spot out. I was able to snag a Saturday bar seating for 2, two weeks prior to the reservation on Resy. And it also had 9:00 availability the day before. read more

A dinner to remember: a creative omakase experience at Robin! First, I really appreciated their service. When I made the reservation, I asked that the waiter not mention price as I was treating my friend. They made the ordering and payment process seamless! The pacing of the meal was also perfect; it felt like we were always trying something new but we were never overwhelmed or overly full. As for the food: such a great variety of bites in the $99 per person menu, and stunning presentation. While the more traditional omakase fresh fish pieces were delicious (the one with caramelized onion butter on top was our favorite), some of the standouts of the night included the middle-top dish in the collage (incredible melt-in-your-mouth fatty fish, amazing crunchy sauce), the sesame noodles with shaved summer truffle, and the final dish - wagyu beef with shaved foie gras. Admittedly, we wished there was less wasabi used but overall, I was very impressed by the complex flavor compositions. I loved the nods to Californian ingredients and cooking and the clear quality of the fish used. Each bite here is an intense concentration of flavor that typically evolves as you chew, which made our ten courses quite the culinary journey - no dish is quite like the others. Highly recommend both to omakase lovers and to those who have never tried it before! Dined: August 7, 2022 read more

Robin is a new take on omakase, and they describe themselves as "Californian". I am starting to believe that when restaurants say that they use it as an excuse to be lazy. First of all just to remind here, this place is $$$$ and for a party of two we paid just shy of $700 for dinner. To begin, I felt that the service itself was lacking. Call me crazy, but for that money to see the wait staff working in jeans and converse shoes with clean service plates strewn about the sushi counter (see photo) seems a bit absurd to me. Maybe this is an SF trend? If so, I don't really care for it. Next we have the food. I am not denying that the fish chosen for the dishes was great quality. The issue I have with it is that the tasty fish was consistently dressed in some sort of pungent sauce or garnish that completely destroyed the natural taste of the meat. This honestly took what could have been a delicious piece of nigiri and made it taste like run of the mill Izakaya. The rice was also heavily seasoned which once again reduced my ability to taste the natural flavors. Lastly I'll mention the price which was steep and strange. There is no menu at this restaurant for food, which makes sense given the fact that it is omakase. However, in lieu of a menu, the wait staff will simply ask you how much money you want to spend between $99 and $199, and this presumably will determine what you end up getting. I went with the $199 option and my partner went with $150. For $49 extra dollars I got absolutely everything she did minus three small pieces of nigiri that were extra. Three pieces for $49? I'm not sure they really have a system here, and it leaves you feeling a bit cheated. Overall my opinion seems to be an unpopular one here, but I think this place is terrible for what it is purporting to be. If this place was $$-$$$ I would have walked away not thinking much of it albeit never to return. For $$$$+ I think this place is a scam that draws in a "hip" crowd with their "hip" music and attitude. Would not recommend. read more

Robin - Sushi bar with service plates present and staff in casual wear - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here on a Friday with my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday. We booked a reservation through Resy about two weeks in advance (that's how early they open the reservations). To hold your reservation through Resy they require a credit card on file and you're able to cancel your reservation about two days in advance free of charge. We were seated immediately and greeted by our host. We were given a wine menu and told about how the omakase works. Essentially you have a sliding scale of how much you want pay per person - anywhere from $99 to $199. Our waitress informed us that they recommend around the $150 to $160 mark. We opted for the $199 option and got a bottle of white wine ($89) to split. We were served around ~15 small plates ranging from sashimi, nigiri, corn soup, truffle sesame noodles, spoonfuls of uni and finally our dessert course. The majority of plates being nigiri. The dishes were all packed with unique flavor. Our favorites were the foie gras nigiri and the albacore tuna sashimi with crispy fried garlic. The music was very loud and we couldn't really hear the servers or what the dishes were sometimes. A few dishes ahead of our last plates, our waitress came and let us know that we would be approaching the end of the meal. She asked us if there's anything that we wanted to eat again. We ended up ordering the albacore tuna sashimi (FYI - it was an additional charge). Overall, it was a really good experience with tasty bites. Would go back again, but wouldn't do the $199. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate and it did not disappoint! I booked a reservation around 3 weeks in advance and there was only a 9pm reservation for a bar seating, so book early if you want to eat at a normal time LOL The inside of the restaurant is not big but the interior design is sleek and hip. Their plates/bowls etc. were very aesthetic and unconventional. For the omakase, you can pick your price point from anywhere between $89-$189. Our sushi chef for the night, Terrance, recommended the mid-tier ($130) so we went with that. He also noted our likes and dislikes. Overall, we both loved the omakase experience. Terrance was great with explaining each dish we were tasting. Our selection came with 1 starter, 12 pieces of nigiri, 3 small plates, 1 soup, 1 truffle noodles and dessert! Needless to say, we went home full and happy :) The sauces they used on the nigiri were interesting but they worked well and complemented the flavors of the fish (including shaved salted egg!). They also spiced up the traditional miso soup with a pumpkin miso soup, which I really liked! Some highlights: uni+wagyu on nori (!), king salmon with caviar, bluefin tuna with A5 wagyu sauce (still dreaming about the sauce!!), shaved foie gras on A5 wagyu (perfect ending tbh)..yes all the expensive and fatty items haha Since our reservation was at 9pm, we stayed past the closing time and had fun chatting with the sushi chefs Terrance and Andrew while they were putting together their last dishes/cleaning up and got some clutch food recs ;) Not your traditional omakase place, but highly recommend trying! And get that bar seating :) read more

I think I saw this somewhere on instagram. My friend suggested it and new much more about it. So we decided to go splurge for it! She made the reservation. I knew beforehand that we had to pick a price point. I was excited to try it out. EXPERIENCE We arrived on time, but we had to wait for the party before us to leave the table. We were offered hot tea while we waited, but it was really hot and we had no where to sit, so it was a bit of an awkward situation. The ambiance was dark and industrial. My boyfriend really enjoyed the neon sign of their logo. It was also really interesting to us that the outside of the restaurant has no signage for their name, just the logo. Once seated at our table, we were told the range was $110 - $210. The entire time before we were wondering if you could say any number in the range, but you cannot, it is only intervals of $10. I picked $130, and my bf picked $160. I have listed both of our courses and listed out what the difference was btw the two. I assume each $10 corresponds to an additional dish. The service was kind of all over the place. It felt like we cycled through every server who brought us food. They were very knowledgeable though. Sometimes I would miss the name of the dish, and they would be able to recall it for me. We stayed until closing, and that definitely impacted the service, it took us a while to pay. FOOD: 130 Omakase (3/5) 1. Halibut with pineapple and Serrano pepper (3/5) 2. Shima aji yuzu (3/5) 3. Steelhead trout with candied kumquat (3/5) 4. Ume fed madai.

Even for the price I paid, I thought it was going to stop about half way though. I was stuffed! And the dishes were super unique! I was so intrigued by each one. I thought it was wild to have non-miso soup, a cold noodle dish, and the sorbet was so fluffy, like soft serve. And even some of the toppings were some I haven't experienced before. I was constantly amazed with each new dish. Definitely a fun experience for a foodie. They change up their menu seasonally so I want to go back in the future! read more

TLDR: not your typical omakase but still really good. Definitely worth a try -- My girlfriend and I came here for dinner and tried the $150 omakase. At this restaurant, you basically choose how much you want to pay and then they provide you a different experience depending on your set price. It ranges from $100-$200. With $150 we got over 20 different sushi/dishes, which is a lot! They were all very good, but less traditional than other omakase. They like to add different flavors than what you would typically get with sushi (onion purée, pumpkin soup, etc). They all still tasted really good, but just not what you might expect. My favorite piece was definitely the otoro with wagyu fat purée. Overall for the price, I prefer kasakube or hinata, but I wouldn't hesitate recommending robin to friends and family. It would be a nice place to try omakase but still want that fusion style with unique and interesting flavors. read more

Robin isn't like your typical traditional omakase. Definitely more eclectic and contemporary. I want to say I've been here at least 4 times and I've enjoyed it every single time. My only gripe is that their portion may have gotten smaller? Or maybe it has always been that size but compared to other omakase restaurants, it's on the smaller side. As for the ambiance, they're not shy to blast the music here. It's more spacious so there are space to sit at the bar as well as the "dining" tables. They also offer outdoor dining, but with SF's weather, I'd prefer to enjoy my dinner indoors. All of my visits have been pleasant, and the chefs are very friendly. I know I can be very annoying for constantly asking for more wasabi but it's just so good! They offer a good price range as well $99-$199. They typically tell you $150 is a good starting point and you can tack on more courses towards the end if you're still hungry if there was a specific dish that you wanted to try again. I started at $120 and that was more than enough for me. I highly suggest checking this place out and then try a more traditional omakase to compare and see which you'd prefer! Don't miss out on their wagyu with foie grois read more

Came back many years later and while the food is still great, I paid for the max price omakase, didn't order any drinks or alcohol and was disappointed spending $600 with tip for two walking out not full. Had to get a pizza literally right after. Never ever coming back and definitely not worth the money unless you have money to blow. read more

I love love love Robin. As most other reviews have mentioned, this is very contemporary. Each piece is a combination of flavors that you would never see regularly. I would always suggest eating at the counter! Watching the chef prepare the sushi in front of you is mesmerizing, and if you have sushi often, it's fun to guess the type of fish! We sat with JK and he was amazing. Fun and engaging but left us alone when we were having our own conversations. JK suggested starting with $150 and then adding more as we went on. This was our second time at Robin (we went 3 years ago) and we started with $100 but bumped to $125. We wanted to try some more items this time so we took his suggestion. The meal had 21 items, 16 nigiri and 5 non nigiri items. Everything was exquisite! Each piece was so high quality and the flavor combinations were BOMB. Also rice isn't something we think about with sushi, but it is so integral. At Robin, the rice was warm and very well seasoned. Some of my favorite items were the citrus Hokkaido scallop salad and a nigiri with trout and caramelized kumquat. At item #19, JK told us we were coming up on the end, with a soup and one last piece coming up. We were definitely at a good place, but everything was so delicious so we ended up asking for 2 pieces and the couple next to us asked for 3. We should have asked for 3 because they had a light white fish that was seared WITH HALF A LEMON SITTING ON TOP!! It was very cool and they told us it was their favorite piece ‍ That being said, we were extremely stuffed after the soup and the two extra pieces were amazing but definitely not necessary to be full. We ended up with a bill of $170 per person, with a 5% SF Mandate, tax, and tip, it came out to about $220 per person so not a cheap meal. However, we both agreed it's the best meal we've ever had so it was worth it for a special occasion. Would love to come back again, maybe when I'm as rich as Elon Musk read more

The food is a really fun take on Omakase. You tell your server how much you would like to spend between $100-$2000. My party all chose to go to with $120. That definitely was a good portion of food, but I think we would have been more sufficed with a few more items, so maybe $140. The server asks about your preference and what you do and don't like and will help cater the meal to your interested. It is not just sushi, as they have some small bites (like noodles) towards the end of the meal. These items are good, but just a heads up encase that's not what you are looking for. We didn't alert the waiter that someone in my party couldn't eat gluten because we didn't think that we would be getting items like noodles. When we told the waiter she brought an extra dish for the person who had this dirty restriction which was great. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This is not omakase. This is a tiny sliver of fish with some random dust or slice of fruit. The server was very unclear of what value you get for the sliding scale of price points. She asked us how much we wanted to spend without giving any indication of what the differences would be. Her answer was its omakase. Don't waste $400 here to celebrate any occasion. You will go hungry and need to eat Taco Bell. read more

Robin - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

*** In Short *** Tasty and accommodatingly priced modern sushi bar. *** In Depth *** After discovering that there were actually preparations in which I could appreciate raw fish at Hinata, Robin was a reasonably safe bet on where to try next, with their equally modern approach to sushi and name-your-own-price, somewhat customizable omakase. And, well, the bet paid off, because my experience at Robin was about just as enjoyable as that at Hinata! Their approach to omakase is pretty straightforward: name a price between $89 and $189, and they'll serve up some dishes to match that particular price tier. If you have a sense of what you like and dislike, you can tell them as much, and they'll cater to your preferences as much as possible, as well as suggesting how you can adjust your pricing to match what you'd like. Even better is, you can (somewhat) adjust your price depending on how full you are at any given point, as they check in with you throughout the meal. Like Hinata, their sushi is less of the traditional sashimi-with-a-side-of-wasabi-and-soy, and more of a, "here are a bunch of interesting flavor combinations for you to try out," so purists beware. ***Accessibility Info*** Venue - Plenty of spacing and accessible seating! Bathroom - Didn't check them out. read more

I heard about this restaurant from a review that mentioned they're the best sushi in California. Now this is fusion omakase, not the regular authentic Japanese clean tasting style. I actually prefer this better than the traditional Japanese as they are mixing it with various different styles like shaved foie gras, caviar, truffle, to the exquisite raw fish. They combine it very well and not even typical fishy fish was fishy, outstanding! Service was pretty good and the food came fast one after another. The total meal was 2 hours for around 15 things. You can opt from $99 up to $199 and you can have a repeat of anything that you like but we were stuffed. We love the beautiful plating that accompanies the exquisite sushi pieces and the whole experience was very exciting. My favorite was the fatty tuna Toro and also the black cod dressed with truffles. They play with taste, texture and vision. The soft serve at the end was coconut and I'm not really into it however my friend liked it. I love the sushi and omakase fusion style better than the one in New York that we paid $500 per person for the traditional Japanese omakase. Do you only suggestion I would make is to have a stronger dessert to end the wonderful meal. Well done Robin! read more

My boyfriend took me to this place for our anniversary dinner and I have to say this was one of the best omakase places. The restaurant's modern design creates a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. The sleek decor adds to the overall appeal, making it an aesthetically pleasing space. The ambiance is intimate and romantic, making it an ideal choice for a special evening or a celebration. We did $210 omakase courses and every single dish was mind-blowing. The fish is amazingly fresh and other ingredients are meticulously harmonized with different types of sashimi. If you choose a $210-course dish, I don't think you will be still hungry after the end of the courses as the portion is not small overall. We also tried various sakes and plum wines and they paired well with courses. If you enjoy sophisticated and fresh omakase, I highly recommend this place! read more

Food was nice wish the portions were a bit bigger.

Robin - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love a tasting menu and love a great Omakase experience. This was not that. Our meal started with the server asking us how much we wanted to spend. Not "which level of luxe do you want" or "how many pieces" but "give me a dollar amount. "This is not an exaggeration - the question was "our tasting menu ranges from $109 - $209. How much do you want to spend?" Spoiler - we got the exact same dishes at same timing as the table next to us. Pretty sure they didn't pick the same amount but the restaurant was charging people what they were wiling to pay. I am guessing that this is the restaurant doing an experiment on variable pricing. I could test this by going back but that would require going back and spending more money here. Nope! We picked $170 per person because our server said this was optimal. The composed dishes with fruit and high end fish came out as shared plates. At this price point I would expect a lovely presentation for each of us. We weren't splitting a tasting menu and agreed to $170... and yet here we were spooning things onto our little plates making sure that we evenly splitting the seafood and the garnishes that look similar. And also not getting a beautiful dish but a scoop off the bowl. At this price point? There is a good reason this place doesn't have a Michelin star: they don't deserve one. read more

We were so looking forward to this reservation, and it did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in the door to the time we left the service was impeccable. Everything was paced properly, and the portion sizes were ample, but not too much for almost 20 courses. We went for the higher end choice at $209 per person and we're so glad we did. There was nothing I could say to improve as they added little touches here, and there even giving me the playlist of the music and offering tastes of other sake, when we were curious. I cannot wait to return return.!! read more

OMG it's an omakase dinner. This is my second visit to Robin and it was nice to sit inside this time and away from the cold, and not in Covid times. As I remember, this restaurant is an incredible experience. Every bite is delicious. If you have a food allergy, preference or a budget, they will customize the plates accordingly. It is a pricey dinner but it's perfect for special occasions with special people. Jennifer was our wonderful server but the entire team worked together and helped run food, clear plates and provide correct silverware/eating utensils. One the chefs even flagged me down to ensure I didn't leave my bag at the table. This is definitely a spot I would recommend to my travel clients. Review #36 of 100 in 2023. read more

Robin is a fun sushi place to go out with friends to celebrate cute life milestones. I ordered bottle of sake to share, a glass of their champagne and the $209pp omakase in Oct2023. I also dined at Robin in 2020 pre-Covid and not much had changed in the menu. There were maybe 3 new items that I received this time around. Overall the service was good but for a 1K + meal it could have been much better. For example, for this price point I would expect a more detailed description of the ingredient source and preparation. That did not happen. Overall the sushi was tasty and the quality of the sushi matches the bill. The bites could have been a bit bigger but overall I appreciate all the creativity that goes into the various toppings. read more
