Robun is a tribute to Japanese author Kanagaki Robun and his 1872 book Seiyō ryōritsū, which introduced Western barbecue to Japan.

Our modern-day interpretation of Yakiniku specialises in sharing plates of beautiful robata grilled dished large plates fused with elements from across Asia, paired with inspired cocktails and an extensive choice of Japanese whiskeys or sake in the most inviting and sociable of settings.

Alongside our innovative selection of sashimi, salads and small plates, our fresh sushi is served in a variety of creative incarnations including soft-shell crab futomaki roll with kimchi mayo and a tobiko-topped nigiri.

Upstairs in the Kanagaki Suite, we provide an events space and cocktail bar set to host celebrations and events. Besides hosting bespoke celebrations and meetings, the Suite opens up on weekends for a place to drink and dine!

Robun is the place to relax, unwind and enjoy sharing plates with friends and family. It will definitely leave you wanting more.

    Friendly staff and a wonderful setting for dinner. We chose to have lots of little plates and nothing disappointed! However, the eggplant needs to be liberated from the side menu and made its own mini plate. If you're visiting, try the eggplant!

    Went to Robun for an anniversary meal and it was a fantastic experience. Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. The food was amazing - especially if you like sushi. I'd also recommend 'The Blazer' after dinner cocktail if you want something theatrical and tasty. Whilst a little pricey, it was worth it.

    Absolutely delicious - stunningly fresh ingredients, creatively and elegantly presented, beautifully crafted. I am Japanese American, so am fairly picky about Japanese food. We ate on the ground floor- very comfortable, airy room. It was extremely quiet but we were eating very early (my four month-old granddaughter was with us.) it is probably lively later-though Robun is clearly serious about their food, the ambiance is relaxed and friendly. I think there is a bar in the upstairs dining area.

    The food is really exceptional but it was a great shame to see it not very full on a Friday night, since the atmosphere lacked slightly. Having booked a table at 8:30, it was a shame to have all the lights turned down and feel that we had to leave by 10:30 as the last ones there. The service was good and they kindly brought a birthday cake for my daughters 18th.

    We booked a table at 12.30 on Bank Holiday Monday for the afternoon tea for 2. The tastes were superb, the service a perfect combination of friendliness and helpfulness without hovering. It was the right amount for us for a light lunch with exquisite taste. Could not fault anything at all. We will definitely return.

    Overall it was a nice evening but I'm not sure there was real value for money. We arrived with high expectations and for the most part the food was fine but not amazing which was frustrating given the price. The wagyu taki dish was overpowered by the citrus dressing, the soft shell crab good, the wagyu sliders nice but again nothing special... The best dishes by far were the kimchee fried rice and the chicken kariaage. I would go back but probably for a light lunch and not dinner. Service was fantastic!

    Myself and my wife were staying over in Bath for a wedding and thought we would book Robun. Upon arrival were welcomed to our table, service was great. However we found the pricing a little too punchy, the food was good but not for the prices and gratuity requested. If we find ourselves in Bath again we would probably just go Wagamama across the street.

    Very drunk men on table next to us, staff did nothing, shouting swearing and vaping. Staff just waited for them to leave! I think they were all scared of them. Service was very slow, 35 minutes before we even got a drink and the restaurant was maybe half full. Food good and arrived in good time when we finally got to order. Cocktails great.

    Honestly we were disappointed. Atmosphere was bizarre. Not very good service and unfortunately the waitress didn't know what the menu was, so I ended up with something I didn't want or like... Overpriced also. It was uncomfortably cold in there. Not many hot food options. We only spend 45 mins in there it was that disappointing

    ThE food was very tasty and overall the service was good. However it is quite expensive. Charging £3.50 for a jug of what I expect was tap water?? £12 for a glass of wine , which isn’t £12 when you add a 12 % service charge.

    It was our first visit to Robun, and it was really excellent! The restaurant is lovely inside, nice ambience, and the food was outstanding. Great Sushi and Sashimi. As well as some fantastic Bao Buns and Wagyu Sliders! We could see the service was a bit patchy in places, although we were lucky as our waitress (Kim) was fantastic. The only criticism I would have is the service from others wasn't good. For example the manager served us our wine badly, warm bottle, and just poured it for those that didn't want it without asking. And the other point is it is expensive. Although the food really is good, it doesnt warrant these prices. But we will definitely go back!

    Nice food, service was great, but the value brings it down a lot. you don’t get much on your plate at all (they reccomend about 3/4 plates per person) and they all cost about £10-£30 per plate Drinks were also a pretty penny. Nice place but very expensive and tbh a little bit overpriced imo Two 100ml drinks, 2 small plates and one medium sized plate came to £81 They also add a 12.5% service charge.

    I have visited twice. The food is lovely. However on both occasions we had to ask more than once for part of our order which had not arrived. On the second visit even asking twice, the main came but still no fries. And on both occasions the bill had not taken into account the £10 per head online deposit we had paid. Good food, very poor service.

    The food was lovely and I would have recommended to others however after being offered water when entering and sitting down and then being charged for them at the end is awful. No wonder the waiter was very keen on topping up our water during our stay but disappointed each time he got a bottle didn’t disclose these was a cost to them and it wasn’t intact standard restaurant tap water.
