The quality was amazing and everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered multiple things but everything was great. All flavors were balanced and while it was all seafood, quality was great such that nothing was “fishy” in flavor.

About the restaurant

Opened in 2010, Robata JINYA reflects cooking techniques and traditions passed down from Tomo’s father combined with his personal deep appreciation for the City of Angels. Now expanding to Honolulu, Hawaii, Robata JINYA plays to traditional robatayaki service of slow charcoal-grilled skewered meats and vegetables as well as exotic sushi and sashimi plates. Tomo aims to provide a lively space where sharing of small plates, as well as conversation, is encouraged. Further supporting the mission of comradery, Tomo chose the name “JINYA” in reference to the historical estates of samurai that later served as community meeting points. Welcome to Robata JINYA.

Taking comfort food favorites from all over the map, we turn them inside out, upside down, and spin them into unique creations that are just plain good. Not too fancy, but by no means boring.

Great somewhat hidden little gem. Great service with multiple employees efficiently working together to provide everything timely. Excellent food - the deep fried deviled eggs were amazing! Hard to find clam chowder in Honolulu, but here it is and it was awesome. The Southern ice tea blend was worth the price - very unique! Our new favorite location.

The shashimi is very fresh, the sizzling platters are very good and the service was prompt and very friendly. We ate here twice in consecutive nights. I would recommend this restaurant highly. Avoid sitting in the back rooms where groups are seated and without carpeting, the noise is very loud. the sizzling platters are very good

I ordered the chicken Alfredo and it looked like they were in a rush in the kitchen because usually the chicken is nicely sliced, and this was just a bunch of small pieces of chicken thrown in. Very small pieces and very disappointed. However, luckily, I was able to fill up on the soup

Everything is good. Just to expensive for what you get even taking into account your on vacation. Chop off about 20% and the value and bang for the Buck becomes more reasonable.
