Been around a few sushi joints in Hoboken and this is our favorite. The special rolls are the bomb and taste really fresh. The decor is a little strange in that it's sort of decorated as a little beach shack, but the food is good and that's all that matters. Been to Sushi House (good but not consistent in quality), Ubu (more for Korean or non-sushi dishes), and this is definitely our favorite for sushi! I've heard that this is on par with Sushi Lounge in terms of quality but more affordable. Definitely come check it out! read more

Walked in here on a whim craving some sushi, and picked the perfect spot! Chill atmosphere and good service. Not to mention the sushi and miso soup were delicious! One roll (I forgot the name) was wrapped in cucumber instead of rice, which gave it such a unique flavor. And the price didn't break the bank either. read more

This past Friday night called an order for pick up, they tell me it will take 20-25 minutes, I show up and patiently waited since it was busy but not to the point where they have people waiting for seating. I ended up waiting 45 minutes for the order for qpick-up, no one cared to see what the status was on the order (customer service 101) and then I went up to check on the status and asked to speak to the owner about their service and no one wanted to take action or speak to me, very disappointed Dave with your staff and service, I have been going to your place for years. You just lost a regular customer who won't be going back to your restaurant. read more

I love this place! Probably go at least 2 or 3 times a month. I've gone in small groups and large groups and the service is always wonderful. Ivan the Manager is the BEST! I always feel welcomed even when they are super busy. The sushi is delicious- I've tried most of the menu at this point and everything has been excellent. On top of the great food, the atmosphere is always fun and energetic. See you soon Robongi!! read more

I have gone here with my niece and my cousin for dinner a couple of times. It's so busy here, but there's a reason. It's delicious. reasonable prices for the food. i love the scallions wrapped with beef with this sauce.. it's delicious. they have fried ice cream and great sushi. read more

This place seriously rocks. The sushi is so good that I am still excited about it the next day. It's that good. And I am generally pretty indifferent about sushi. The place pumps club beats at club volumes. Sure it can be a little irritating, you have to lean in to actually hear anyone at your table, but it will probably be less irritating than a rowdy nearby table that this atmosphere attracts. Whatever the case Robongi has decided to make this a part of the experience, so take it or leave it. BYOB is always a plus. Quality of food makes this a Hoboken favorite and earns a full 5 stars. read more

I am a huuugggeee sushi fan and I have to say this is one of my favorite sushi places I've recently found in NJ--top 5 on my list. I LOVE the crazy rolls with different flavors and interesting combinations and this place definitely has variety. The service was great--waitor was always readily available and very attentive to our needs. BYOB is always a plus and the ambiance is fun, unique and provides for a great experience with friends. I wouldn't recommend for a private date as it is a bit tight and you are almost sitting on top of other diners, but that's hoboken dining at it's finest. read more

BEST sushi in Hoboken + amazing service + awesome vibe + BYOB = Robongi! I come here at least once a week and have never had a bad experience. Love this place and a big shout out to Ivan for always making us feel so welcomed! read more

I'm a take out queen. Ii work too much to sit down, so sometimes I feel guilty reviewing without sitting down. However, there are more of me out there! I like this place. The lunch combo is delicious. The salmon avocado and tuna avocado are always fresh and the rice is always perfect...not too dry, not mushy, and the best proportion I h ave had in a while...just enough to support the tast of the fish. The lunch teriyaki is delicious as well...I h ave tried the tofu and salmon. The tofu is nice because is is soft on the inside but definitely firm and slightly crisp on the outside, which enhances the flavor of the sauce. They are fast and friendly for take out. However, they are pricey...to replace a roll for the California roll in the bento box combo is $4.50...the roll itself costs $5...hmm also, a side of giner which is free at any other place is $1.00 Pricey, but good. read more

I have had mixed experiences at Robongi. I've had some good experiences but then had one food poisoning experience which has led me to never return. I would normally give someplace that got me a sick a 1-star but in fairness but prior to this I did like Robongi thus the 3-star (I was trying to be fair) Needless to say though my Robongi days are over read more

Really great fast service I always order delivery and they are quick Food quality is very high and portion sizes are great too read more

Love this place. Good sushi, good service. Everything tastes perfect. We always go there when we feel like a casual Japanese food and we're always happy. read more

Packed wrong items for me and showed such poor attitude when I called. The guy insisted that he couldn't make a mistake because mine was the only order at that time. He even shouted at me: you don't know what eel is! Fine, it's not your mistake but mine - I shouldn't have placed the only order. read more

Best part of this place is that it's BYOB. Food is consistently great and although during peak times there is a wait, it's never too long and they don't take customers for granted like in other places where they don't care if they lose even 1 customer....My all time favorite is the Sakura roll and the crabcake salad - so yummy ENJOY! Con: The loud loud music - ugh it can be obnoxious and difficult to hear yourself think. For this Robongi, I have you 4 stars read more

Not only is the food here excellent, but the staff is amazing. I have a friend who comes here all the time, and we get treated like royalty every time we go, including being treated to special and sample dishes. I don't eat non-veggie sushi, so I can't talk honestly about the seafood (which is a shame, because that's really their forte, i think...) But I can say that their gyoza and tempura are really good. I agree that it is a small place, and can get crowded, so it might be best to call ahead. (And don't forget, it's BYOB!) read more

I have been ordering sushi from here for years and have never had a bad experience with Robongi. The fish is always fresh, the rolls are so good. I love that this is also a BYO. Its my top pick for sushi in Hoboken! Side Note...the only bad experience I had here was a delivery person that demanded a larger tip for delivery. I was so taken aback I should have just taken the entire tip from him. It ruined my meal as a result b/c I couldn't get over how rude he was. read more

Liked: Reasonable price for GOOD sushi Dislike: The decor was distracting and confusing Enjoyed the sushi. The waiters were very attentive and polite. Our food came out quickly and was fresh. The bill was $24 for 5 low to average priced rolls, which we were very please about. I will definitely go again. read more

BYOB with delicious rolls and appetizers. We got the veggie gyoza (pan fried) and Han hibachi app (so good), then the Godzilla, satura & crazy horse rolls and all were delicious. Decor was funky - reminded me of Old Gregg. But kinda funny. Overall great spot for BYOB sushi! read more

I am very picky when it comes to sushi so its amazing to know that I've been ordering so many times from this store now. Although I'm not much of a fan of their tamago, everything else is delicious!! read more

Living in Hoboken, Robongi is a regular place for us. Robongi has been our longstanding go to sushi joint- take in or take out atleast once a week! This is the ultimate diamond in the rough. When you walk in the front door of Robongi, it seems like any other generic restaurant, but when you eat the food, it stands apart. The atmosphere rating is a bit less than the others because Robongi is not a place to linger nor have intimate conversations. I've never had a bad dish in this restaurant. They have Udon noodle dishes, sashimi, salads, etc, all of which are excellent. My favorite roll is the American Dream Roll, I could eat this roll multiple times a week! (salmon, avocado and cucumber inside, with spicy king crab, snow crab and mixed red tobiko on top) Note: BYOB. read more

Good sushi, very pleasant customer service. Variety limited at the moment due to Covid(understandable).

I use to go to this place all the time (order or in the restaurant) and tonight my order wasn't good at all. Sushi was messy, missing avocado on some pieces, avocado looked brown (5 pieces for $10, I better see good quality rolls). I brought them back and the waiter told me it's NORMAL.... They didn't even accept that they didn't look good. They won't see me again. read more

Wow! I'm so happy they remodeled (awesome bathrooms) and got a new staff!! Service was fantastic and attentive, unlike the non existent service before. I also really like their music selection but Sushi Lounge has better fish. Just sayin. read more

love this place! Great food and good times. I have had two birthdays here. My friends and I love the byob option and we all great pretty creative with the special rolls on the menu. We usually order so much food that we stay for hours and the staff are very accomodating. They know how to keep a big party happy! keep up the good work guys! read more

We just ordered delivery of spicy tuna sushi, sweet potato sushi and shrimp tempura sushi and beef curry donburi and the sushi was great but the donburi was not great....at all. I grew up in Japan and I make beef curry often but got lazy today and ordered take out. This was not good Japanese beef curry. There was no gravy and the beef was chewy with sauteed onions and cabbage and then rice underneath and it faintly tasted of curry but watered down and confusing. My kids is used to our Japanese curry with veggies and a savory gravy and beef so tender .....they pushed it away and ended up eating our sushi which they enjoyed and that was a celebration because it was the first time they gave sushi a try and liked it. The beef curry donburi was a no go in our home. Order the sushi. read more

I have been coming to this place for nearly 10 years. I haven't been in a while; and when we went this week, the place has clearly changed ownership. First, there are still CHRISTMAS decorations up - It's APRIL! They re-did the place - I have to say, the bathroom looks much better but I miss the old decorations. This placed used to be packed every night of the week, and it was a ghost town when we went. The food was good and the portions were still really great for the price, this the 4 stars. A few pieces of the tuna was oddly chewy. The staff was nice and very accommodating, it just definitely felt different then it used to. read more

First time here. Definitely will be back. Wait staff amazing, very attentive. Sushi was awesome. Spicy tuna roll, a hint of hot sesame oil, elevates it to a whole new experience. Spicy squid was cooked perfect. Can't wait to come back!! read more

The best sushi place in New Jersey. Great service, great ambiance, and great fresh sushi. read more

Fantastic! I don't really have fancy or specific tastes for sushi but I can say I have never been disappointed by the food. The real reason I come here though is for the experience. Friendly service but not pushy, food always comes quickly. Casual atmosphere. BYOB. Always just have a nice relaxing time every time I come here. Great for a date too. read more

Can only give one star because I can't rate their food since I ended up canceling the delivery because after waiting over an hour food still hadn't arrived. Called the restaurant and they said they left. But food still wasn't here. It was a Tuesday evening at 830pm probably one of the slowest hours of the week. When we called to cancel they didn't really care as they probably get this all the time. Not sure how they stay in business. read more

I like their sushi and I'll be back. As noted in other reviews, the service can range from good to exceptional. (On St. Patrick's Day, for instance, they served me sake, gratis, notwithstanding they don't have a liquor license.) read more

Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. Pretty decent sushi, good service (refilled tea like crazy, but it was only mediocre tea), comfy, clean atmosphere. read more

I just have to add an update here as it never fails to impress. Came here today for lunch and ordered my normal sushi lunch for one. Sushi made to perfection. Quick and friendly service. Find me a better sushi place in Hoboken. I dare you :) read more

I go here for lunch quite often and always have a pleasant experience. The fish is fresh and the service is extremely friendly. The price for the lunch combo is great too. Highly recommended! read more

Great atmosphere and good food. Only downside is it get crowded quickly and if you have a table they will try to rush you to turn thru tables quickly. read more

I WOULD NEVER GO BACK HERE! Went back this past Saturday for dinner with my friend. We got there got there around 8 and had no reservation. It was packed and the hostess (I think?) told us to come back at 8:20. We went to another bar where my friend chugged a glass of wine and I left mine unfinished (because I am not that gansta) to get back in time. When we got back it was even more crowded, like no room to even step inside the restaurant. We waited until 8:45 while some other guy sat everyone else except us. A couple even walked in and was sat right away while the new host winked at them. My friend was getting really angry and started arguing with the original hostess who told us she had nothing to do with seating. I knew it was time to leave when my friend got loud because I didn't want spit in my sushi. We went next door to Wild Ginger where we were sat right away. I guess Robangi does not want new customers! read more

Good, fresh sushi, and well-priced to boot. Being BYO helps too. The decor is, well, untraditional, for a sushi joint. It's full of "crabby" decor and funny signs. Doesn't exactly scream "Japanese restaurant." Then again, who cares? The one down side is that they pump really loud techno/dance/bad pop that makes it difficult to carry on a conversation. All in all, good sushi, but not ideal of a date... unless you don't want to talk to them anyhow. read more

I think that this place is great. It was my first sushi experience (about 3.5 years ago). I enjoy Robongi the most during the warmer months because of its outdoor seating on Washington. Everyone I've been with has also enjoyed their meals and the fact that it is BYOB since sushi is already an expensive meal (helps you save some money). read more

Food is spectacular, service is horrible though. Theyll give you your food, but in the most unfriendly and lifeless way possible. Food is really great though. read more
