We absolutely loved this restaurant. The 3 of us were seated promptly for our reservation, and the service was amazing! We had never experienced this type of dining where you are given a per person price point, and then have no idea of what you are getting until it is presented in front of you. We chose the low end at $120 per person, which would give us each 13 bites. The server then proceeded to bring out the dishes, each in a perfectly timed manner, and told us what each bite was and we thoroughly enjoyed every one of them! I think we were all a little surprised when the bill arrived, as it was much higher than we expected. $618 before tip. We did add 2 bites for each of us at the end, and had shared one bottle of moderately priced wine, + 1 cocktail for my husband. We will go back for sure, but only for special occasions!!

We've done a lot of Omakase throughout the years and this was exceptional! Very inventive and amazing taste combos. We will be back.

What a lovely experience for a birthday celebration! The omakase was thoughtful in design and appetite. Definitely opt for the counter experience to see the meal come together!

My family visited last night around 5:30 and our chef (right most from the counter) was super nice and food was amazing. My wife and my son were very happy with it. It will be our family's favorite restaurant in Bay Area. Thanks a lot having great restaurants nearby.

I think it is the best restaurant in Menlo Park. The omakase experience is great and they will work with you to weed out any items where you are allergic or just do not enjoy them.

David

The food was excellent at Robin's. I really enjoyed getting to pay anywhere from the $119 to $219 price point when it came to food. The ambiance and noise level were perfect since I was there for my housemate's birthday.

Elliot

Overall really nice. It was impossible to understand the wait staff when they were presenting the omakase food to us

Becca

The food was so delicious! Really unique flavors and paced well. Service was caring and hospitable.

This is an omakase-only restaurant, the only decision you can make on food is how much you want to pay and list all your allergies. Then, be ready to be impressed ! The restaurant serves very high quality food with inventive recipes - things very few people will decide to make in their own kitchen. For one, they source fish that is probably hard to get if you're not a professional restaurant. The definition of sushi is pretty loose - some bites are mostly meat - but everything tastes really good. The only reason why I cannot rate this restaurant 5 stars is the relatively low quantity of food. If I went back there I would probably eat a solid snack 2 hours before.

Robin in Menlo Park has quickly become one of my absolute favorite sushi restaurants in the Bay Area.

I’ve been here at least ten times now, and each visit feels just as exciting as the first. The consistency, creativity, and attention to detail are what make this place stand out in the Bay Area dining scene.

One of the best things about Robin is the flexibility of the menu. You can choose à la carte if you have favorites in mind, or you can go for the omakase and let the chefs guide your evening. I’ve experienced both, and I can honestly say you can’t go wrong either way. The omakase is particularly special — every dish arrives beautifully plated, with flavors that are fresh, innovative, and balanced. The fish quality is always top-notch, from the buttery otoro to the delicate hamachi, and the chefs often surprise you with unique touches that make each course memorable.

The à la carte options are equally impressive, especially if you want to revisit your favorites. The nigiri and small plates showcase the freshness of the ingredients, and the variety keeps the dining experience exciting. Even the desserts are worth saving room for — light, creative, and the perfect way to finish the meal.

The atmosphere inside Robin is modern yet welcoming, with a stylish design that still feels comfortable. Service is another highlight: the staff are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely make you feel taken care of.

Robin has become one of my favorite restaurants in Silicon Valley, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, it always feels unforgettable.

we did the omakase experience and it was amazing! the only downside was that it was a little noisy so it was hard to hear the descriptions of some dishes form the chef. i would definitely come back!

The food and service were excellent! We opted for the middle range menu, and the selection of fish by the chef was plenty, and the last course of dessert made the night!

The food was outstanding and our waitress provided impeccable service. I will definitely return the next time I'm in the Bay Area.
