CitySearch Tips

Where to Sit

Although there is table seating in the back, sitting at the bar gives you the most authentic--and fun--experience.

What to Drink

The vast sake menu, which includes a glossary, changes seasonally. Most choices come in four sizes: glass (small), box (medium), carafe (large) or bottle (jumbo). The Robataya Sake Flight is a sampler of three for $14.

Fun Fact

Bon Yagi, a co-owner, continues to put the "East" in East Village with his other nearby restaurants, all featuring different Japanese specialties, including Curry-Ya (curries), Rai Rai Ken (ramen) and Soba-Ya (soba and udon noodles).

FourSquare Tips

    You?ll miss all the action if you ask for a table in the dining room. Request a seat at the counter. - Inspector
  • Renee D.
    One of the best date places in NYC. You want to make sure to get seated around the communal table so you can watch the chefs in action. Get the crab rice, it takes 30 min but it's worth it.
  • Mindy Y.
    Eat everything! Sit at the counter & you will be entertained. For privacy, opt for the back room.

    Try the Fluke Carpaccio and spot it on Foodspotting!

    The kaiso salad comes in an abalone shell
  • Karen T.
    gotta order the asparagus wrapped in white fish and pine nuts.
  • Joe D.
    Get a bit of sashimi, but make sure to tear through the rest of the menu (which is nothing short of heavenly). If you walk out thinking it's a sushi restaurant, you ordered wrong.

    This is gonna sound weird. But get the grilled corn. Life changing.

    The toilet is fantastic. the food is too... but the toilet!
