The food and service was absolutely outstanding. We had the lunch deal and the value and quality was top notch. Our waiter was fun and charming and gave some fab recommendations on the cocktails. We already look forward to returning. Thanks for a lovely afternoon 🙌

This place has changed recently, menu and atmosphere. Went recently for Friday evening food and drinks, the place is nice but it’s too bright and the music is really too cheesy and loud. The pale ale has been replaced by their own ‘Ro-beer’ which isn’t nice at all (just my opinion) menus are laminated paper too like the ones you seen in a market place cafe. Foods decent enough and reasonably priced which is nice but the recent changes do not improve the experience. I don’t think I will be returning soon.

My friends and I recently visited as part of an annual birthday gathering and we were unfortunately disappointed. The service was absolutely fine we had no issues there but the restaurant has changed it’s menu so we were surprised when we were handed the new one which was now quite a juvenile design. The website still hasn’t be updated (checked again before this review) as we checked this before visiting. There seems to be now far too many cuisines to choose from offering sushi, burgers and Indian to name just a few. The restaurant was a third full which last time we visited it was at max capacity and the music varied from pop music to dance anthems. Very different to the atmosphere, music and food the restaurant used to offer. The food was ok, but we didn’t feel it was worth the price tag. We hope that the restaurant does consider revisiting the old menu or select one cuisine to focus on before we would consider returning.

Good service. Great ambience. Good value. Nicely presented and cooked food. I ordered the Korean dish Bimbimbap. It was a hearty portion with big cubes of tofu on the side served with soy sauce, but there was something missing from the flavour, so I asked for some spicy Asian sauce and was given sriracha which helped. It was only after I left the restaurant that I realised it was advertised as being served with kimchi. I didn't get the kimchi and the dish was a lacklustre without it.

This place has gone downhill a lot recently. Always had lovely meals here, but the most recent visit was disappointing. The ramen broth was average, had absolutely no depth of flavour, no spice at all. And why on earth were vermacelli noodles used in the ramen? They have no place in ramen. The Bibimbap was quite nice though. Service once we got our meals was extremely slow. It's a shame, the decor is really nice. We will not be back.

Very disappointing, was recommended to it. Went for tea ordered chicken satay skewers with peanut sauce £9 and my friend had belly pork skewers £8.50 we added home made chips £4, the chicken skewers were tiny, burnt taste and the sauce did not taste of anything, belly pork bigger and marginally nicer, chips were fine. The portion size are way over priced, looked like a starter but not starter prices you would expect to pay. Medium wine also at £8 is over priced compared to other places in Wakefield, gave it 2 as staff were pleasant and friendly and comfortable place to eat but totally disappointed with food, sorry but won’t be returning.

Thought we would give this a try… for a Monday looked quite lively. Ordered a couple of drinks to start whilst we browsed the menu. A young lady then came and took our order. More people came in eventually they gave their order, some even got served? After 35mins the young lady came back to apologise… ‘Sorry we’ve lost your order, can you remember what it was?’… no thank you, we’ll have the bill🤬

Having booked a table for my wife and I at Robatory after looking at the 4.4star rating I was looking forward to our meal together. Unfortunately the food was nothing short of poor leaving us refusing the food. For one of the starters we had burned chicken satays. Giving them the benefit of the doubt it was eaten. When the mains came however it was much of the same. More burned chicken, burned bottom of the pan rice, bland sauces. The mains were rejected and offers of new food cooked refused. The general staff service was OK, they offered to remove the starters from the bill leaving just the drinks to pay. I also had to go to the bar to get staff to raise my issues as the 3 floor staff were busy talking among themselves

Sorry guys to be so negative but I feel I must be honest so you can improve for future costumers . Four of us visited last night . The general opinion was our experience was very poor . Food was small portions . Food was average and over priced . We ordered drinks then food all seemed well . 5 mins later waitress returned to imformus our main dish had the rack of ribs missing . We were asked to pick another item off the menu . We was not offered any substitute for our main dish . After some negotiation we were offered pork balls as a substitute. When the meal arrived we were informed only half was ready so the girls had eaten their meal before our main dish came . The pork balls were burnt. When had virtually finished our already spoiled dish when realised an item was missing. That was served once again saying the cook had forgotten to add it to our meal . The only positive was the waitresses who served us we very cheer full and offered any help they could they .tried there best to ease our disappointment .

Went with my wife around teatime. My wife had duck which was a good taste but tough. I had a small portion that was meant to be brisket but it was not. It was dry, tasteless beef that I left. Behind us were 3 or 4 guys that were swearing and loud. One of them started shouting and banging on the plate glass window when he saw, I assume, someone he knew, who came in. The guy banging on the window was dressed like he was at the beach with tiny shorts on and heavily tattooed legs. The girls who served us were fine, but after the food we just wanted to finish our drinks and go. 3 times in 5 minutes a waiter asked us if we wanted more 'alcohol', we told him no every time. I would not go back if I was offered money to do so and I would suggest to anyone thinking of going there to avoid.

Amazing food, I wouldn't even say on the pricey side. It's refreshing to go to a restaurant and pay that little bit more and that cost be mirrored in the quality of the food! Probably had some of best garlic bread I've ever had with the Mac n cheese! Service is brilliant here, staff are polite and conscientious. Had to give 1 less star, as there is no baby change/ baby change in the gents toilets and I had to change my son on the floor in a cubicle.

This used to be my favourite restaurant in Wakefield but unfortunately it’s gone massively downhill, not sure if they have a new chef or what has changed. Visited around a month ago and got the crispy chilli beef, the rice which came with it was awful it was mushy and wet and just tasted of butter. The salt and pepper fries were completely different to the ones we had the previous time and were not good at all. Decided to try it again on the bank holiday for lunch and ordered a crispy chilli beef sandwich but was given chicken. After waiting almost 20 minutes for the correct one to come what arrived was untoasted sourdough which due to the wet filling disintegrated. The crispy chilli beef was drowning in sweet chilli sauce so it had become mushy and didn’t taste of anything else. Really disappointed and won’t be returning here again despite receiving another 15% off voucher. Maybe this is their attempt to get people to return when the food is now subpar?

Ordered the land and sea sharing platter for 3 people at £30 per person and the platter consisted of 1 steak, 4 ribs, a small lobster tail, 2 octopus tentacles and 2 sides. Not anything like enough food for 3 people and £30 a head. Queried if it was correct with the waiter who didn’t seem shocked and just said they will knock £30 off with no apology and never asked if everything was ok during or after the meal. Seems like they just gave us the amount of food for 2 people and tried to blag it. Waiter had an attitude problem. We then ordered desserts as we had a £100 voucher to spend and they had agreed to knock off £30. The waiter with the attitude then decides to be passive aggressive and gives us ridiculous soup and cocktail spoons for our brownie desserts. Won’t be coming again after this which is a shame as we liked it here and the food is good. Still hungry.

Robatory offers an exquisite dining experience that truly stands out. From the moment I stepped in, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal. Let's talk about the star of the show—the food. I had the pleasure of indulging in their lobster fillet, and it surpassed all expectations. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, perfectly highlighting the delicate sweetness of the lobster and the succulent tenderness of the steak. It's safe to say that it's the best lobster and steak combination I've had in years. But it's not just about the food; it's about the entire experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. From recommendations to accommodating special requests, they truly exceeded all expectations. Overall, my dining experience at Robitary was nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're looking for a special night out or simply craving top-notch cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend Robitary for an unforgettable culinary journey.

Went in on the off chance after spending day in Wakefield. Luckily didn't have to book in advance and a table was available. Me and my partner went for the two courses for a set price and they had a children menu available too for my son. The food came out hot and freshly done without having a long wait for it. The amount of food on the plate was more than enough. We was celebrating our anniversary to which I asked when we had dessert if they could do anything special on my partners plate, to which at my surprise they brought a plate with hand written Happy Anniversary in white chocolate and edible flowers. 5 out of 5 for the food, 5 out of 5 for service and 5 out of 5 for them all going beyond the extras to make it special for myself and partner with our son also loving the experience. Thank you to all the staff of Robatary

Robatary has always been a great spot for me and my friends. Unfortunately, the dish I always have had fallen short. The Crispy Chili Chicken with rice was just too salty for me to eat.

Visited here a few times…had some great meals and some not so good (was once served undercooked chicken…I’m talking raw in the middle) but always like to give places benefit of the doubt. Went on a Saturday a night and was good to see it busy, there’s always something reassuring about a busy restaurant. Our drinks order was taken swiftly and food order not long after, good start. Thats where the good things end. We waited nearly an hour for food that was inedible when it was served. The duo of duck! Nothing good to say. Could barely cut through the breast…it didn’t taste good at all. Seemed like it had been quickly defrosted in a microwave and thrown on a grill! The sauce was…unusual. My partner had the Katsu chicken. Chicken was seconds from full cremation and not even sure where the Katsu was! So was basically burnt chicken and stick rice! Staff were working hard, but didn’t once check in on how our meal was, it was only when we asked for the bill and they saw we still had pretty much full plates did they ask if everything was ok. Restored some faith by not charging us for the meal!! One too many questionable meals here so won’t be visiting again.

Real mixed bag. We had 4 starters and the Sunday dinners (Chicken and beef). First the bad, the chicken thogh meatballs were shocking. No flavour, tasted sour, really bad. Tempura prawns were OK, but 4 prawns for £10 is really poor value. The seaweed that came with the prawns was chewy and not Crispy. Burnt ends and Sriricha ribs were good. Sunday dinner was really good.

We have visited Robatary on many occasions and it’s never provided us with anything other than a great experience. The staff are really friendly and are always on hand to assist you. The menu offers a wide range of both small plates as well as larger main meals. On our most recent visit, we ordered; (small plates) duck pancakes, duck fried gyozas, (large plates) katsu chicken curry and crispy chilli beef. The duck pancakes came with a hoisin dipping sauce and were really flavoursome. With the gyozas, you actually get a choice of whether you want them deep fried or steamed and a choice of two different dipping sauces as well. We opted for deep fried with the miso sauce- I would highly recommend. The main dishes were also really tasty and well presented, the portions are huge as well! The only slight complaint I have is that the egg fried rice that the crispy chilli beef comes with, was a little too goopy on this visit, another minute or so and it would’ve been perfect. Other than that though, I really can’t complain and on top of that, they also have 25% off the whole menu between 5PM-7PM as part of their early bird special! This restaurant is well worth a visit, we will definitely be returning again soon.

Visited a few times over the last couple of years and has always been great. This visit really wasn’t great. Starters, bland and flavourless. When the waiter collected our plates he asked how we found the starters so we replied ‘ok, quite bland’ and he replied ‘that’s brilliant’… clearly in robot mode not listening! Then the mains were marginally better, but still bland and lacking for the price. The chicken katsu was no better than something I could have ordered from a Wetherspoons. No opportunity to provide feedback as no one asked us. We left feeling really disappointed, especially for the price… I really don’t think we will waste our time coming here again which is a shame as it has a lot of potential!

We came here for our Christmas do on the back of previous good service and food. Firstly let me say the food was nice ( when it finally arrived!). Our problem was with the service. In the past service in this restaurant has been excellent but I’m not sure there’s been a change in staff but last nights service was so slow . Over an hour between started and mains ( with an excuse that it was the grilled chicken which too so long!). Also we found staff were either surly and unsmiling or way over the top. It’s a shame because for some reason standards have slipped in what used to be one of the nicest restaurants.

First of all the place was freezing the toilet was full of water one of staff said they had a leak then why wasn’t it mended really shoddy toilets. The wait time was over a 1 hour when there was only 2 other people in some more came in and they served their food before ours. They had run out of everything it wasn’t very good when they had no ice cream for kids so had to go somewhere else for it. What really let it down was they said they didn’t have any coffee and couldn’t make any espresso Martinis think they just couldn’t be bothered. All in all our total bill was £500 so we would like some refund we went on Sunday 3rd of December at 5 pm and there was 12 of us with 3 kids.

This place came as a recommendation and unfortunately I was left incredibly disappointed with the food. My starter was scallop sashimi, it was tasty but the portion size was tiny! It looked like one scallop and it cost me £12.50 which is overpriced for what was served. My main didn’t get any better, I ordered ramen with prawns for £17 and it was the blandest saltiest ramen I’ve ever eaten! There was absolutely no depth of flavour and it was almost like they’d thrown in some ready prepared stir fry mix, I’ve never had red peppers and red onion in a ramen…I decided not to have dessert as I assumed it would be as disappointing as the rest of it. I can only assume by some of the recommendations I’ve seen and even my friends that maybe before they have served better food but for our visit it was awful and I’ve been left very disappointed and cheated from the money I’ve had to part with for such terrible food!

Firstly, a huge thanks to Hadyn for excellent service- friendly and professional, dealing with all our extra needs ( my SIL has allergies and he was incredibly well-informed). The food is good, but...We have been coming to Robatary for years now and the portion sizes are ever-decreasing; the Tataki beef is half the size it was 8 months ago and the Gyoza serving is only 4. The Tempura prawns are no longer true Tempura and at 9 pounds were a little disappointing. The burger was great as were the chips! The portions either need increasing or the prices slightly lowering. Thanks to the service though we did have an excellent afternoon.

Vegetarian starter and main course nice, lots of flavour and sauce. Starter of crab and main course of tuna terrible, dry and not flavour. Drink OK, few cocktails and beers. Discount offered to bill which was accepted but still doesn't change the quality of food. The service was decent.

Lovely food and ambience, very nicely decorated and great service. We had Bao buns and dumplings to start, both were tasty and plentiful, mains, crispy beef and rice and a sandwich with chips, lovely crispy beef, a little sweet for me but offset by lots of spicy chilli and spring onions, so much I had to take some to eat later! My friend really enjoyed her chicken and bacon sandwich and was disappointed that we had to leave some chips there were so many. We had a bottle of wine at £20 which was very good and free water on the table, the whole bill was under £70 which was great for what we had. One big negative - the ladies toilets, why on earth is the lighting so gloomy?? I saw the men’s was lit up like Christmas but the ladies has such subdued lighting you couldn’t put lipstick on or potentially look for sanitary products, let alone see to use them! I also pity anyone with any kind of disability (sight in particular) it was so dim you could do with a torch! Get it sorted, it’s ridiculous style over substance!

Made order through their own website. Order got cancelled by the restaurant (I had to call them to find out, no contact from their end.). Was assured it wouldn't be charged / undone within 10 days. It was not. Called them, would have it sorted by 'monday because saturdays are busy'. Nothing. No responses, no solutions, no contact. Had to do a chargeback through bank. Avoid. It's a shame, the food is actually decent quality.

Dropped in here for our wedding anniversary. Was met by a very friendly chap called Rhys . He took care of us from that moment on ! Free round of drinks for our anniversary was a lovely touch . I wanted a starter portion of a main dish .. “ no problem “ was the reply . Great food , nice atmosphere and fantastic staff . We will be back !’ ( Rhys is a credit to this restaurant)

I don't usually get round to writing reviews, but these guys definitely deserve one! For my wife's birthday, I decided to book somewhere we'd not been before, and having spotted Robatory earlier in the year, I thought we'd check them out. I'm soooo glad we did! Robatory is cosy feeling (without sitting on top of each other) kind of place. Relaxed and unpretentious, cool and friendly. From the second we walked in, the staff were great ... all of them. From the front of house to the back. Relaxed and normal chat and banter ... it felt like we'd known them all for years .... which is a great thing when you just was a nice night ... if that makes sense? As for the food ..... 🥰 .... we had to ask the chef what he'd recommend, because there were at least 9 things on that menu that I could have demolished! Unlike many places, when you ask a question like this, they tell you the most expensive thing on the menu. Not the case here at all ... we told them what we'd narrowed our options down to, and then they told us what they'd order for themselves. We had a couple of Gyoza to start with (and they were every bit as good as the ones we'd tried in China some years ago), and for our mains we went for the Crispy Chilli Beef and I had a Roba Burger .... and when they arrived, we knew the recommendations were spot on ... as we both had menu envy over what we'd both ordered! We also had a side of Burnt Ends .... strange name I guess but just try them! 🥰 I could keep writing, but hopefully by this point you've already to book yourselves a table!

Easily the best restaurant in Wakefield. Some of the best food I’ve had my whole life, everything I get here seems to be delicious without a doubt. I’ve been here multiple times and will always keep coming back. Both food and drink are out of this world. Such a perfect spot for a date too since the atmosphere is just so good. Great decor with small intimate lighting for the tables, makes it really feel like it’s just you and the person across from you dinning alone. My parents have also visited the place and weren’t fans of the Asian inspired food so it’s something to keep in mind but regardless a great spot for drinks even if you’re not interested in the food.

The food was poor and had almost no flavour. Very expensive for such low quality. Overpriced. Avoid.

Love this place! We frequently come to Robatary, Qbana, Finos and Icon for lunch and drinks. Today has definitely been the best time I’ve ever had at Robatary. The food was fresh. Service was impeccable (as always) especially 2 twins that work at Robatary (I didn’t catch your names but you are both LEGENDS) they went the extra mile to ensure that we was happy. Asking if we needed refills on drinks, water etc and much more! They deserve a raise and was a pleasure meeting them again. Not to mention the 2 women that was also serving us today, they were very kind, generous, funny and a delight to be around. 100% recommend should be #1 Best Restaurants in Wakefield. -Connor, Malcolm, Dave and Sheila

I have been coming here for years and always heartily recommend this restaurant; this is one of my favourite spots in the North. However, sadly I have to caution you - on Fridays, a DJ blasts happy hardstyle club music at a volume that makes it very difficult to have a pleasant dinner and conversation, which is something the ambiance of the Robatary is geared towards and what I go to it for. Its lighting and atmosphere is gorgeous and the food is very good, with friendly and attentive staff. The Robatary is a wonderful restaurant well worth a visit - just not on a Friday, at least until management remembers that they aren't a 2007 rave once a week. (No hate to the DJ himself; he was fine. It's just not atmosphere appropriate.) Friday nights should be booming for the Robatary - but it was dead as a doornail during prime evening hours during my visit yesterday. Usually I hang around for dessert and a second drink, but my partner and I decided to head off because we couldn't hear each other.

Don't go if you're hungry,( small portions) very slow service. Waited almost an hour for bill, even though we asked several times. Could have easily walked, but they had my brother in laws phone number. Don't think we will be back.

We booked for a table a week in advance online after seeing the lunch deal. On the Sunday food was nice (although garlic creamy mushrooms were cold) and service very quick (abit too rushed). When paying the bill I stated I booked the offer, the waiter asked if I booked and I said yes, she went away and came back and said the deals not on anymore. I said it did not state an end date on line and she shrugged. I found this service rude and price falsely advertised.
