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.

    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.

    Excellent food served speedily with a smile by Olivia, she understood both our requirements and what was on offer and she managed both so we could make a concert we had booked for and enjoy our meal. Insufficient time to sample all the delights on the menu - we will be back! Gyozo deserve a special mention - fantastic!

    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.

    This is a superb Japanese restaurant with a real Japanese vibe and an intriguing selection of dishes. Our server was very knowledgable and helpful and recommended the appropriate tea and saki to complement our selection of dishes. We selected two starters (the vegetable tempura were as good as any we have tasted in Japan) and two of the Chef's specialty mains. All were delicious as were the desserts. Next time (which will be very soon) we will try their delicious looking bento boxes. They also offer a very good value lunch menu.

    I really loved the desert and I would go back just for it the taste and presentation was unlike anything I have had before. I felt I didn’t get the best value for money on my dishes but that may have been my mistake in what I ordered. The kimchi rice with fried egg came luke warm which I wasn’t too pleased about as it was my only hot dish. The waiter was really nice very knowledgable, all in all a good experience but I didn’t feel as if I got value for money. If I do coke back it would be for a set menu like afternoon tea that is reasonably priced

    We return to Robun each year on our anniversary after enjoying it so much when they first opened. On this visit the food was amazing as always, couldn’t fault it. However, the service was lacking and on a few occasions we had to call someone over for more drinks, dessert menus and to clear empty dishes. The ambience was also somewhat ruined by bickering between staff within earshot. My partner ordered a Malt whiskey expecting the standard 50ml measure but was given on 25ml.. not sure why they assumed we didn’t want the standard. Overall we just felt forgotten about. Not the fantastic service we had remembered from our previous visits where the maitre d’ remembered us and had always looked at the notes that it was our anniversary.

    It was perfectly nice but very expensive for what we had. We had the tapas style dishes, two drinks and two desserts - £93. I wasn’t a huge fan of the dessert, it was the chocolate torte and it needed more fruit or cream with it. Very stodgy chocolate ganache.
