Stopped in for takeout and was promptly met with, "how many"?…read more Taken aback I replied, "just myself, but this will be taken away". Then she asked if I needed a menu....sigh... While I stood at the bar to peruse the lengthy menu the lady walked near me several times in haste with a notepad prompting my order. It wasn't busy but I felt rushed. I placed the order and watched the order be prepared within a few minutes. When the lady brought the receipt I noticed 15% gratuity was added. Appalling, especially since I wasn't offered water, a seat while I waited, nor was I greeted with a hello, a smile or thanked for coming in. Maybe the automatic gratuity is the very reason for the lack of hospitality here. The lack of hostility is the very reason I will never return. P.S. the sushi was decent. There are 100 alternatives I'd rather frequent for a pleasant experience. ~Christy

We were disappointed that the kitchen was closed because the chef wasn't available, so no noodles,…read moreno bentos, nothing that requires cooking. We could only order from the appetizer menu and sushi/sashimi menu. There was enough to choose from but still disappointing. Food is average... tastes good but nothing special. Service was great. Very friendly and attentive. Parking situation was not ideal- while it has free parking right outside the door, it is a single row of spots and perpendicular to a busy road. If you back your car out of the spots you are in the traffic. For this reason alone, I won't return. If that doesn't bother you, it is a fine place to have Japanese food. The decorations are cute. Japanese style instrumental music playing in the background.

Robata is a small place with an ample parking lot size for its seating, or close to ample. 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...

Chiang Mai is on Big Bend and there is some street parking, but I thought I would try the back lot…read moreand see if I could walk around. I was in luck and found a spot on the far side and just walked up a little hill in the lot and there was a back entrance! Nice! I was greeted with a smile and led to a table near the front window, lots of tables occupied during lunch on a Friday. Cozy space with lots of bright light. I decided to go with Drunken Noodle with chicken as I always do if they offer it, I asked if I could add tomato and she indicated yes. She asked me what spice level I wanted and I indicated I usually go with 3 and she recommended 2 and I took her advice. The order came out pretty quick and I was glad I went with her recommended spice level of 2 as I think 3 would have been too much for me. The dish was flavorful and had the added tomatoes. Note if you order and addition the charge for me was 0.75 extra. I took my extra home to enjoy again. Small, bright space, friendly staff, good food. And you can enter from the back! Lost my pic of my dish, darn.

Placed an online order 15 minutes before arriving... arrived a couple of minutes before the estimated "ready for pick-up time"... waited ANOTHER 20 MINUTES and had to ask several times about the order to get it prepared for pick-up... meanwhile, more than a dozen walk-ins who ordered at the counter AFTER THE TIME OF MY ONLINE ORDER got their food and were sitting down and eating it while I watched and waited for mine... There needs to be some more reasonable priority and attention given to the online order fulfillment if you are going to take them... there are plenty of other delicious sushi bowl/burrito/poke places much closer to my home these days since it became more popular (thanks to places like BLK MKT) but I choose to try and continue supporting BLK MKT even though it's a 45 minute drive round-trip... perhaps it's no longer worth it... please, do better!
