I placed an order for a Boston roll, spider roll and tempura roll all of which are flavorless and poorly made. Waste of money. Do yourself a favor read more

I hate crappy, generic music. This includes anything where the artificial bass line dominates the music. Why is this relevant? Because Robongi takes their amazing sushi menu and hides it under a CONSTANT, BLARING SYMPHONY OF BAD MUSIC. Rant aside, the sushi here is absolutely phenomenal. It didn't matter if it was rolls, sashimi, or seaweed wraps. We brought our own sake and they knew just how to prepare it for us. The eel wraps we had for "dessert" perfectly capped off the night. This restaurant would absolutely get 5 stars if it wasn't for the terrible, loud music. I don't know about you, but I prefer being able to hear the people I'm eating with. I fully recommend Robongi as long as its not the peak hours. read more

Ok, perhaps I might had been a touch harsh in my original review of this place, and my long absence to give them a second shot. We returned tonight and had a simple dinner of the American Dream roll and the Paradise plate (2 pieces of salmon, tuna, eel, and yellowtail, and a Boston roll). The American Dream roll was really great. The spicy crap on top had only a touch of mayonnaise as compared to everywhere else, which kept it feeling light. All of the pieces were a good size... Not Illuzion huge, but certainly bigger than Sushi House. Illuzion is still my go to sushi place in Hoboken, but I think Robongi us now my number 2 ahead of Sushi House. read more

Consistently good food. Great Sashimi, Edamame, Tofu, Udon, etc. The interiors are like any other casual dining place in Hoboken. I took away 1* because it can get really loud on Fri night or Sat night.. you cant even hear each other sitting in front of one another. read more

The best sushi and sashimi in Hoboken. I've been here a bunch of times over the last two years, and the food and attentive service are consistently excellent. My waiter remembers what I like and don't like. It's BYOB, so don't forget to bring your favorite beverage. read more

I always recommend this place to all my friends and family because for reallll is the best sushi ever ! THOUSAND STARTS FOR ROBONGI IN HOBOKEN!! read more

Well first off, I'm from Brooklyn and am used to eating rolls for $2.50 or $3. Actually I'm more into all you can eat sushi. So I came here after a canoeing trip. The place was crowded and the scenery was quite dark. The music was pumping like it was a club. Well I'm pretty sure people come here before they hit up the bars and clubs. This place is definitely more expensive than the sushi joints in BK. The bento box was 21 bucks and the rolls ranged from $3- alot more. I had the chicken katsu. I asked the waiter if I could get that in a bento box and he said no. No special requests for the paying customer?? The chicken katsu was just your average bbq chicken. The service was alright except the waiter didn't even know today's special. He had to look back at his notepad and read it to us LOL. I wouldn't come back to this place to eat but I would come back to Hoboken. What a nice neighborhood to visit! read more

I ordered from here last week ! Unfortunately, I found a hair in my food. (DURING COVID-19 BTW!) When I called, I was told that I would be refunded for the food that had hair in it, but they never did it. Safe to say, I will never order from here again. It wasn't even worth it. read more

Robongi is a good choice if you want asian food/ sushi in hoboken. It's not amazing but its not bad. A little on the higher priced side for the quality but there arent tons of options in hoboken. I got a salmon teriyaki bento box. Its the most "bang for your buck" entree they have. It comes with the entree, rice, shrimp & veggie tempura, 3 shumai, a 6 piece sushi roll AND, soup or salad. The salmon teriyaki was okay, it had a big piece of skin attached which isnt my thing. Robongi is BYOB so it's a good choice if you're in the mood to shell out for sushi and drown in cheap wine. Illuzion is still my favorite asian place in hoboken! read more

Came here on my lunch break and was a little disappointed. I have gotten take out from here and it's always been great but now that they do dine in I decided to give it a try. The sushi was oddly very warm, even the sushi that is normally cold. The tempura had a stale feel and taste to it. Overall not a great experience. read more

I came here with my mom for dinner last week because she was craving white rice, so sushi it is! I ordered the Tonkatsu Don Buri (Deep fried tender pork and vegetable with egg and sauce over rice) and it was the blandest thing I ever ate. The pork, the vegetable, even the egg had no flavor. I was actually wishing I had ketchup on me so I could give the dish some flavor and that is a sentence that I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE ABOUT A JAPANESE RESTAURANT. My mom ordered the Japanese Fried rice which same thing, no flavor. We didn't finish our food and left feeling pretty unsatisfied. Everything was pretty lackluster and I was unimpressed. The one good thing was their special, the Takoyaki, which was decent but was $5 for four pieces which was expensive. The service was good and the waitress kept refilling my water. read more

While visiting some friends in New Jersey we decided to find a good sushi restaurant and make an evening of it. We walked to Robongi after reading a few previous Yelper reviews... I was pleased with my fellow yelpers as usual. We arrived and the place was bumping... music and a laid back crowd made this place different from most sushi restaurants in Miami... then we began to order... I started with the Robongi roll... a very fresh creation of tuna, cucumber and a house sauce that was delicious. My friends all ordered different things.. A soso calamari roll Good enough Chicken Terriyaki A great yaki noodle soup I myself was struggling with the choices, the waiter noticed this and decided to ask me some probing questions to help me make a choice. He suggested the dragon heart roll which was very satisfying. I'd recommend this place to anyone if I knew they'd be in this area. read more

Robongi Hoboken - Japanese Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

The food is amazing, every single thing we ordered was delicious. The service though...OMG! the waiter seemed to be angry and in a hurry. He literally threw the menus on our table, left and came back 5 minutes later expecting us to have our order ready. We ordered appetizers and when he served them, there were no napkins-forks in the table; we asked him if he could bring them and then he just brought 3 ( we were a party of 5). Then he brought 3 napkins, all crumpled and we ( again) had to ask for a few more for the rest of us. Also, he never offered us any drinks ( it is a bring your own bottle restaurant) and just served us some glasses of water and never mentioned they had sodas. The service is the worst we've experienced in Hoboken and just for that, we don't think we'll ever be back. read more

As you walk through the door, you will be greeted by the restaurant staff and Maître d', who knows all the regulars by their first name. The walls are completely covered with gaudy sailor décor. But I find it charming . Once you are seated, you are brought free edamame. The sushi/sashimi is super fresh and the daily special rolls are FANTASTIC! If you come here during lunch, the restaurant is usually more quite. Lunch is a fair deal and you get soup or a salad. Although the daily special rolls are a little bit more expensive than the regular special rolls are not that pricey. As an ex-Park Sloper, I have paid more at some sushi places there. I would have to agree about the unreasonably loud music in the evening. But other than that, everything is PERFECT! I heart Robongi! Happy dinning! Cheers! read more

Came on a Saturday night with brother and others. I've been here before and it keeps me coming back for more. Let's start with the ambiance. For me personally, I love it. Yes it's a bit loud, but I don't mind it. Good music and the people enjoy it. The sushi is great. I love the apps and they have a great variety of rolls to pick from. BYOB as well so enjoy the party!!! read more

Robongi Hoboken - Japanese Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Full disclosure, I'm rating this place relative to other Sushi places in Hoboken. It seems like most sushi places converge on 3 star reviews after enough time, so finding one that stands out is difficult. While this place isn't quite "top-notch-Manhattan", I do think it's one of the best in Hoboken. The atmosphere inside is kind of neat and doesn't feel like I'm at a strip-mall sushi place. The staff here are really friendly, and the food is always fresh. I'm also a huge fan of it being BYO as well! read more

Ughh. I am done with Robongi. Ive been ordering delivery for years. I stuck with them because they continue to make the best spicy tuna and spicy scallop rolls. No one makes em as good IMO. However, the rest of the sushi keeps going downhill. Several times now, the rolls are made very sloppily, and the tun rolls are INEDIBLE. Tonight I waited an hour and 40 minutes for delivery, and once again, my tuna roll was disgusting. The tuna was cut in a huge chunk and I felt the muscle or whatever it is when I bit into it . Uuuuugggghh. I could have cut the tuna better. Zero finesse or technique, and obviously a bad cut of the tuna. You know its bad when your cats wont even eat it. Never again! read more

Tried this place yesterday as take-out but I picked it up, and I must say the place is really eccentrically decorated, and it was fun. And as soon as I walked in I was warmly greeted, and given my order correctly. I ordered a side of spicy mayo, and I was kind of afraid to try it because it wasn't smoothly blended like the rest of the places I've gotten it from, but it was actually delicious, and so were their rolls! I was so happy. I feel like it is always such a scary thing to try new Sushi places, because you are just hoping that they don't get you sick, but everything tasted really fresh. Nothing felt oily or soggy. I would definitely order from this place again!! read more

Robongi Hoboken - Sweet potato roll and Rock Shrimp. DELICIOUS! - Japanese Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Having frequented this place many, many times over the years I felt an update was appropriate. This is the best sushi you can find in Hoboken. It even rivals NYC locations, especially when price is taken into consideration. The chirashi and sushi combos are on point, the fish is fresh, and servings are generous. Hands down the best sushi in the area. read more

Great sushi, extremely nice and accommodating staff. Always look forward to eating there.

This review is based on Uber Eats order. I felt that this restaurant did not hesitate to give me spoiled (toxic/ not edible at this point) scallop pieces as this is an uber eats delivery as opposed to in person (which you can immediately tell and not eat it based on the foul smell of the sushi!!!). It was a big disappointment. I ended up throwing away $35 worth of food as soon as I received it, because I was afraid to get sick from it. Also, I have been to many sushi places and I could tell they do not properly handle fish and does not cut it properly either. Pretty bad sushi place. I'm not quite sure why people would go here. read more

Salmon is not good. Very fatty and cut too close to the skin, most pieces were inedible. read more

My music engineer ordered this food for us while we are recording here in hoboken, recommending the lunch special. He was right, the special seems to be the way to go. I made the initial error of ordering specialty rolls today. After a lengthy discussion about the quantity I received and quality of rolls (two specialty rolls, 10 pieces total and a discombobulated assortment) I finally was given an extra order of one of my rolls to rectify the error. The menu does not specify the fact that some of the specialty rolls are served in small quantity. However the food was good, albeit a tad sloppy. I am happy that the restaurant obliged my request to even the order to the money I spent (21 dollars) I thank the staff for making things right and I would point out that providing food for the masses is not an easy business, and mistakes happen. I hope the owners take note of the fact that their menu is a little misleading, and that the public understands that people in the food business work as hard as anyone can to provide satisfaction to a wide array of people. In the end this restaurant made the extra effort to serve me and my band mates a satisfying lunch, and that alone is commendable, considering the endless array of complaining patrons they accommodate. I wish them luck and thank them for the quality food and personal service they provided us. read more

Good menu option, but Food is bland. Service is not exceptionally swift on a Monday lunch with a 70% full house. Waited a long time for everything. read more

Maybe this is my fault for trying again, but I ordered the spicy maki combo which comes with a California roll. Still being allergic to avocado, I asked that the restaurant either swap that roll for another spicy tuna or salmon or simply make the California roll without avocado. The restaurant added $3.35 to my total for this swap. I'll note that the spicy California roll is $7 on their menu and the spicy tuna is $7.50 so where this extra $2.85 came from is beyond me. I've literally never had any restaurant charge me more for not getting avocado. If you order from here make sure you're not getting any substitutions! read more

I go here mainly for the lunch specials, and I only started going here since Ayame has weird lunch hours (as in they don't exist some days). But their two roll sushi special is great in that you get two full rolls of your choosing from the small lunch special menu and a soup or salad for under 10$. My delivery.com order usually comes to around 10-11$ when I include tip. Admittedly, their rolls do sometimes fall apart easily, but they give you plenty of ginger and wasabi. I have no complaints, except that I'm pretty sure they usually finish my order before the pickup time if I'm going thru delvery.com. read more

This is the best place to get sushi near NYC! It is so fresh, and the sushi there is just amazing. All of the special rolls are really crafted well, and the sashimi just melts in your mouth. One of the best sushi spots in NJ! James is so kind and really makes sure that customers are taken care of. This place is a must-try!! read more

This place is terrible and here's why: 1. Order took 90 minutes. 2. Phone operator did not seem to care about the order taking a long time. 3. Sushi driver threw his tip back in our faces. 4. Sushi was disgusting and not fresh. Not sure what these other reviews are but this place is absolute trash. read more

Great Sushi, prices could be better in all was very satisfied. The spicy tuna and shrimp tempura was absolutely amazing!

I've been going to this place for YEARS, but last time I went (in July during St Anne's) I saw a roach in the ladies' bathroom. :( Their food is great though. read more

The food tastes bland and the saucess provided don't go well with the items. For the price the sushi is low quality, does not have the flavor you'd expect from an expensive Japanese restaurant. Would not go here again and wasn't able to finish the meal as the quality was so bad. read more

I don't see nothing wrong, with a little bump and grind baby. I also don't see nothing wrong with a lunch menu that is nothing, but affordable awesomeness. Two sushi rolls and a soup or salad for $8 or $9 is a steal. I also must mention that there were many different rolls to choose from on the lunch menu, which I find seldom at most establishments. And you can order from the lunch menu on a Sunday! Get out of her. I also ordered the hamachi roll with jalapenos, which was excellent. In fact all my rolls were excellent. I had great service and they gave us complimentary ice cream. I definitely will come back. Just remember that this place is BYOB with a minimum of $15 purchase. read more

I checked out this joint last night with 4 friends. My best friend was excited to come back here as she hadn't been in over a year. She said it was her favorite sushi place in Hoboken. When we got there, even though we were a group of 5 and it was crowded, they said they could seat us in 10 minutes. Also, the music is blasting inside so you kind of feel like you are in a club. Off to a great start (minus the music). We went to the liquor store to pick up some wine since it is BYOB and came back. We were seated and immediately helped. We ordered some appetizers and they came out astonishingly fast. I found the tempura to be undercooked and somewhat doughy. Before we even finished the appetizers the sushi was already on the table. Yes, quick service is great, but not when you are feeling rushed. We got 6 rolls to split between a few people. I only found one of the rolls to be satisfactory (the Naruto). The rest were sloppy and fell apart. The sushi seemed fairly fresh, so I can't complain about that. However, one of my friends decided not to order sushi and got a rice bowl. It was fairly large so she was working on it for a while and we were picking at it. Although she still had some food left in her bowl, over 5 waiters tried to take it away over the course of about 2 minutes. Talk about a hint. After we continue to tell them we are still working on it, we finally allow someone to take it away. They bring us the check and I look at the clock and realize we haven't even been at the place for an hour. We decide to finish some of our wine, since we brought a good amount with us. As we are sitting enjoying a drink, they come to check on the bill. We hadn't put the money in yet. About a minute later, the host comes over and asks us to pay and leave. He tells us there is a group in the front that has a reservation and is waiting for our table. We were shocked. He didn't even try to dance around the issue and just asked us to leave. Needless to say, I will never come back here again. Unappreciative, rude and ridiculous. read more

Robongi .. it has been a great ride. You have served me well .. but after last Friday I am afraid our relationship is on a "break." I will continue to order out from you but I can NO longer be a victim to your obnoxiously loud music and over crowded restaurant on a Friday or Saturday night. And NO .. everyone does not want to hear fist pumping techno while eating raw fish!! When I first moved to Hoboken I became enamored with Robongi and eat there once a week - take out mainly. Then I had some friends in from out of town .. I wanted to treat them to an amazing sushi dinner. Robongi was our destination. We went at 8:30 on a Friday .. we had to wait about 20 minutes and then we were seated. The music was unbelievably loud and when I asked to have it turned down they told me ... "People come here for the club like atmosphere" ... really they do? We made it through the meal and left with some slight hearing damage.. but I decided to give them another Friday night try. BIG mistake .. same issue and same answer. Long story short.. if you want to impress your date or friends do NOT take them here on a Friday or Saturday night. They are a great take out or weekday spot .. but avoid them at all costs on the weekend. read more

What a fun place for sushi! The first time I went there I was shocked at the loud hiphop music, but after a while it grows on you :) Service is great and attentive, though there are a few lingering waiters that are a little too pushy, always trying to clear the table before you've finished eating. I love their assortment of specialty rolls, especially the changing weekly specials. They like to match their weekly specials to holidays or seasons. I always try them out. Sometimes I stop in after work for some take out and they are great about offering me a seat and water while I wait. I would give them 5 stars if they had better appetizers and a classier ambience. Bumpin music is great for a party but not my preference for dinner, especialy after a long day of work. So I don't recommend this place fro a romantic date, but definitely for a laid back meal without breaing the bank. Order Tips: - Definitely try the Rock & Roll. Yoro roll is good too. And always try something new on their weekly specials! read more
