About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Junkichi Robata Izakaya is an upscale authentic style of Japanese cuisine utilizing a live fire charcoal grill. Dating back centuries to northern Japan where fishermen would gather around a communal hearth for warmth and to prepare their food, fishermen were searching for a way to prepare their meals aboard their vessels and created a way to enclose the charcoal to protect their boats from the high heat and thus robata was created. Originally a method for northern Japanese fishermen to be able to cook aboard their vessels the definition of Robata is a charcoal grill guests can be seated around used to slow cook skewers of the freshest ingredients over hot coals and can literally be translated to "fireside-cooking".

    Amazing dining experience! The seared seven spices tuna is a must-try and the chirashi-don was the best I’ve ever had. Great service too. Our waiter made great recommendations and checked in on us often.

    Great dinner! Every thing we had was delicious and a great value! We shared the Hokkaido Nabe between 4 adults and added other Izakaya favorites to round out our meal. We will definitely be back.

    Very nice people. Manager was very hospitality oriented. Menu was difficult to navigate as to differentiate small/sharable/starters to other size plates. The tempura pumpkin was the best thing Ive eaten in a long time. I'd go back just for that. The Waygu beef was not as tender as it should have been, though tasty.

    The restaurant was open at noon on a Sunday. We had not been there before and looked at the menu before going there. It seemed like a pretty comprehensive Japanese food menu. It’s not a huge sushi place but more Japanese entrees. Overall it was fine, but not to the caliber of say a Nishino. Pricing was decent, but was not inexpensive either. Again, clean, good service, but missed the mark slightly when it came to the food.

    We tried this place thinking the menu looked great and the ambiance would be nice. While the food was tasty our server was pushing us to order far too much when things were already pricey. We ordered the garlic rice thinking there would be servings enough for our table of three, I think each of us had two tablespoons total. We ordered 5 dishes between three people and had enough, plenty really but our server wanted us to order 5 additional things! With those 5 dishes and two drinks our bill was just under $200. Maybe I'm cheap but I prefer more for my money.

    Came here for dinner, sat at the bar with view of the kitchen activity. Pretty cool, fun. Service was friendly but slow and not very attentive. Food was nothing mind-blowing, ramen was too salty, the grilled items were nothing special. Overall, seems pretty overpriced for the quality of food and level of service. Not highly recommended.

    I love this place, the food is amazing! Service has gotten tremendously better and the atmosphere is super chill. They play perfect soft jazzy music in the background, it makes me happy. I would recommend the garlic rice, it’s a must have! The skewers are simple but flavorful. I honestly haven’t had anything bad here so be adventurous and try anything on the menu, you won’t be disappointed.

    Not good as I expected. Most food went too sweat. The bbq is the best thing I have during the visit.
