One of my top 10 restaurants. Love the interior decorating, and of course the food is incredible and creative. It's created and delivered with the upmost of care.
I like the concept of pay-what-you-want, we got the middle tier-ish and had a lot of really unique and fresh food. Dishes include uni from Hokkaido and Santa Barbara, triggerfish, scallops,band many others.
Almost everything about this restaurant was perfect. My only change would be the music, it was fun but didn't seem to match the mood. Not a deal breaker though.

Truly an incredible Omakase experience. You get to pick a price point between $119 and $219 and then the chef curates a menu based on that price. We went with the mid-range and it didn’t disappoint. Plenty of food and variety. Can not recommend this place enough.

Best omakase i have been to so far. We went for the standard omakase ($119/pp, 10 courses). Each course and presentation was great . Will be back
Very unique presentation but the nigiri had a little too much sauce. The fish flavors didn't really come through.
I'd have to admit this was quite possibly the best omakase experience I've ever had. Thank you to the staff for an unforgettable evening.
Food was great, really interesting pairings of the fish with different variety of flavors. Cool fusion ideas such as gochujang miso or papaya salad with fish. I would say none of the flavors missed. The caveat was that the speed of service is extremely fast. That's a very good thing with refills of water and cleanliness, however it interrupts conversation a lot. Our table was nearly always full with a plate on it, and once we finished a dish it would immediately be replaced by another one. So, pace was very quick and is nice for a lively set of bites. Not great for sustained conversations though because of how fast the dishes come. The music inside is also quite loud and present. Doesn't interrupt the experience, but it's always there and not easy to tune out.

Came here for our anniversary, and I have to say I was amazed!
The staff immediately greeted us and congratulated us on our anniversary.
Our chef Aoffoy was amazing! Let me say it again: Chef Aoffoy was amazing. Aoffoy created amazing dishes, explained everything along the way, and constantly ensured we had a great time.
On top of Aoffoy's charm, can I say the food was just perfect. Every bite and every taste was a 10 out of 10 for me. I came in very hungry, and I left full and happy.
This is an amazing space to spend a special occasion, and I can't wait to find a reason to come back.

Fantastic omakase restaurant where you can choose a spread based on your budget choice. They offered a full vegetarian selection for someone like me who is a vegan. Highly recommended if you like to experience authentic Japanese omakase

Expected more, but the experience was nothing more than a neighborhood sushi restaurant. Not the detailed experience one would expect from a true Omakase restaurant, as dishes are shuttled by servers in an open seating environment. We had the 20 small bites and they were not kidding, small. My local restaurant fish portions are much larger. Nothing really memorable in the flavors either, except for the frozen foie gras shavings over wagyu. We had two mocktails and price was over $600 for 2ppl, with added service fee too! (not gratuity) It wasn't bad, just not worth the price. I will not return.
Yesterday was our fourth time enjoying a delicious meal at Robin and, once again, it surpassed our expectations. The ambiance is trendy and vibrant, the service impeccable and the food is simply exquisite. It is by far the most sophisticated dining experience in Menlo Park. An absolute gem.

This is a sushi restaurant that serves omakase only. You can name any price point you want between $119-$219. Then the chef will curate a multi-course meal based on the price point of your choice. In our case, we chose $170 as our price point and received a 19-course meal. It was the perfect amount of food for me.
Each course was exquisitely presented. The most memorable dish for me was the Hokkaido Uni. Make sure you ask for this item to be included in your omakase when you go!

Our dinner at Robin was spectacular. So many delicious bites of fish & Wagyu. Its impossible to pick a favorite. The allow guests to decide how much food to order based on a price point. We picked the middle of their range, and it was plenty of food for the three of us. Any more would have been too much. And the quality of everything we had was very high. The atmosphere is very relaxed and welcoming. This is a pricey meal. But if you are looking for a special meal in the Bay Area, this is one of the best that we have had in a long time!
We had the small omakase which was plenty of food. Was very good. Service was excellent. Mid week, the place was virtually empty
Outstanding Japanese omakase osushi restaurant. An amazing establishment in Menlo Park that is as much of an experience as it is an outstanding restaurant. Omakase selection was amazing, and our friendly server Hiro was extremely helpful.
This is an outstanding date place, as well as just an omakase place. Every dish was perfectly prepared and presented. The osushi rice was particularly very good.
I CANNOT stress enough how good Robin is.

I came here on Friday evening with a few friends and it wasn't busy until later at night. I like how this Robin location is very spacious and a good amount of seatings. However I didnt like how the tasting ranges from $109 to $209 and there's no menu for us to see what we were getting. We chose the middle range and we got a good range of dishes but the bites were small. I also didn't like how there sauces overpowered the fish taste and I some of the dishes were not of my preference for sushi tasting. If you like more flavor and non-traditional sushi tasting, this is the place
