The food was spectacular. The sushi was the softest and most wonderfully textured. The duck was done off the most flavoursome and non fatty we've ever had. Service was very helpful and pleasant but was a little slow, she was rushed off her feet. An utterly fantastic and memorable evening and worth every penny.

This was the best most delicious meal we've ever had! The food was absolutely exceptional and presented beautifully, we ordered eight dishes and all we're 5star, the service was exceptional with very friendly staff, we had a lovely waiter who gave us some recommendations and doc not disappoint! Wonderful bar service with thr most friendliest bar staff! you will not be disappointed and won't ever want to eat japanese food anywhere else again! Just to add I was on crutches and the staff fully accommodated me with seating providing options so I'd feel comfortable. See you soon Robun!!!

Over priced food and drink, service is very slow and forgot two of the mains, every cocktail has much too much lime or lemon juice. Would not come here again. Reference the reply from this place, we were offered a measly £10 off, and they had they gal to still add a service charge which we declined to pay. Needless to say, we won't be getting in touch because we ain't never ever going back there!

Finally! The first great Japanese restaurant in Bath. The food is fantastic, the fish is really fresh, the service is great, and there is a very pleasant atmosphere. I am surprised it's not packed! I've been there a few times, and every time the restaurant was empty. The only thing that is lacking is that they don't have eel on the menu.

Mixed bag here. They have had a great idea for this restaurant - the decor is wonderful and the menu looks great but the execution in the kitchen is not quite where it needs to be. The Spicy Edamame have a hot sauce squirted all over them...no subtlety to this dish at all and messy as hell to eat. The Karage Chicken was a little undercooked and not at all crisp on the outside. Finally we had the Iberico Pork Ribs, which while it came in a dome full of smoke (see photo), was somewhat lacklustre in flavour. If you haven't been to Japan as many times as me, you might like it here and the service was great, but it's not for me...it wasn't full, so you have to wonder if Bath hasn't already come to the same conclusion.

Probably the best restaurant in Bath. First, the food. All served fresh, and you can tell from the taste alone. A great range of options, all of which are excellent value for money, so you can tailor your experience to any budget. The bento boxes for lunch are very reasonably priced and serve as an excellent introduction to Japanese cuisine. Meanwhile the tasting menu is perfect for special occasions and the sake pairings are to die for! Service wise- staff are friendly and welcoming without being intrusive- clearly professionals who care for their craft! Also a special shout out to the many theatrics featured on the menu, something which many restaurants shy away from these days. Highly recommend the lamb cutlets if you’re looking for wow factor, and the rum blazer to finish! Will be back.

We tried the taster menu, which looked very good, but with 1 vegetarian, 1 pescatarian, 1 coeliac, the food service was problematic. We had sharing dishes that didn't match the dietary requirements and on 1 occasion, one of our party had nothing to eat, which the restaurant did resolve. The person that needed strict gluten free had to keep asking the specific dishes were GF and on one occasion a miso soup was served and 5 minutes later the staff came out with a GF version. Luckily the coeliac hadn't yet started theirs. From the taster menu a whole wine round was missed but was rectified. In terms of the food the starter of edamame beans was very nice as was the black cod and wagyu beef. The dessert for the coeliac was limited to sorbet only, but they had some great flavours. They just need to cater for all dietary needs on the taster menu, but on a positive note the staff were very aware of the issues they and we were facing.

Very pleasant environment excellent service from staff who could explain the menu to first time diner's in Japanese cuisine. Three of us tried 5 alternative dishes of fish and beef and of course prawns in rice sushi style. The flavours were delicious and presentation excellent but the style of sharing plates does not appeal to me and chop sticks and me never get on well. I presume this is fine dining with a fine dining price ticket so dine out in a large group to spread the cost.

The food was okay, I did expect a bit more since the price is quite high as I'm not quite sure if it was a higher end restaurant? When we called over the waitress (nicely), she said, "You what?" In not quite a nice tone? Maybe it was a misunderstanding. I'm not quite sure, and there were many flies around the restaurant, even though it wasn't quite hot that day. Don't really recommend.

Robun is just great. Food is interesting, tasty and fun. Staff are fantastic - friendly and helpful (especially Paulina). For instance: the team decorated my daughter’s plate with a “happy birthday” message which was a lovely surprise! Would recommend soft shell crab for main. The mochi and standard ice-cream desserts were exceptional. This was our second visit, first visit was to Kareoke bar upstairs which was also fantastic.

Such a lovely restaurant, warm and welcoming. Excellent food beautifully presented just like an artist's painting. We enjoyed black cod which was unbelievable and so tasty the salmon teriyaki was the best I have ever had. All the food came promptly and hot. The saki and the cocktails were a real pleasure. Dessert was a dream the lemon and yuku tart was a perfect finish to the meal.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing experience at Robun! From the moment we walked in, Tah (apologies if I’m spelling his name wrong) made us feel incredibly welcome. He provided superb service, explaining everything on the menu perfectly and making sure we understood every detail. We were greeted with complimentary bubbles as soon as we arrived, which was a lovely touch. Despite the restaurant being busy and our food taking a bit longer to arrive, Tah’s kindness and passion for hospitality truly stood out. He treated us like royalty, making the wait enjoyable. Coming from a restaurant background myself, I have to say this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the UK. I’ve worked in high-end sushi restaurants, and the quality of the fish and wagyu beef at Robun was outstanding. A huge thank you to the team, especially Tah, for making our visit so special. We will definitely be returning in the future!

The dining room was infested with fruit flies (Sept. 1st) which is unacceptable for a place that expensive. The food was well presented, but some dishes were way too spicy and that's unexpected with high end Japanese cuisine. The flavours should be delicate, not burried in hot chillies. We were disappointed.

We were recommended this place on our trip to Bath, so booked ourselves in for a visit. We decided on the taster menu, with wine pairings, and were not disappointed. Food was delicious, a good range of courses, with well thought out wines to accompany. Our waitress, Angelina, was fantastic, chatty, offering help and advice throughout our meal, most useful as it was our first visit to a Japanese restaurant. We loved it, thanks so much for a fab evening!

What a great restaurant. Two of us had lunch here and it was excellent. We both had miso soup to start. It was a good soup and the tofu was tasty; not always easy with tofu. I had the vegetarian bento box and it was superb. The gyoza were prepared a bit differently to the way they're usually served in Japan and they were good. Great to have edamame bean pods, something I really associate with Japan. Everything was delicious. The ribs and aubergine were very good. Several items on the menu I couldn't eat because they had chilli or looked on the spicy side. Chilli is not something I encountered in Japan so the menu feels like it's been tailored for Western tastes which is understandable but a little disappointing from my personal perspective. Beautiful food, good range of drinks, good service, buzzy vibe, go try it out.

So warrants a short review, if you are familiar with Japanese restaurants in New York City, London, Japan, you will not be happy here. The food is average, the prices are very high, the service is not very knowledgeable although they try very hard, but they’re just not the right level,they are trying to be.

seems unsure on whether it’s a chain, offering cheap deals, or an upmarket restaurant competing for accolades and it shows in the food which isn’t all that interesting.

Style over substance. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the service is great, but the food is sub standard. Everything was deep fried and didn't taste of much except batter. On reflection would have been better to order the meat or sushi dishes. It definitely felt like an Anglicized version of Japanese dishes which was disappointing.

We visited last night (3rd August 2024) a joint celebration, one sons birthday and another his graduation. We arrived on time, a party of 6, but our table wasn't ready, it's wasn't busy at that time, so no reason why it shouldn't have been ready. We were handed menu and told that several items weren't available We ordered items that would normally be steamed but was told the steamer was broken. The food was fine but considering the high cost we expected better. The bill came and we noticed about £35 overcharge on the drinks, we pointed this out and it was resolved but why/hiw did it happen? All in all a disappointing evening, we won't be going back

Food looked good but lacked flavour. Everything seemed to be covered in sichuan sauce so all the dishes had the same flavour. The gyozas were poor and I found the frozen cook at home itzu ones far superior. Service was good, but unfortunately we were sat on a table by a wall covered in fruit flies so we had to battle them for the majority of the evening. Considerably better restaurant options in Bath than this.

TERRIBLE food. I cannot even categorize it as Japanese, as it's just a mixture of dishes that pretend to be Japanese. The taste of their fish is SO dull it's hard to describe. The rice seems to be done with no taste at all. And then... fried chicken? WHY?!? On the positive side their tea is good. That's it. Service is also good, but they charge it in the bill by default (12.5%) with no option to change or remove it. Do yourself a favour and try to find another restaurante in Bath, chances are you'll easily do better than this abomination.

Ordered a deliveroo. One of five items was missing. The £42 sushi and sashimi platter was a disgrace. Unlike many reviewers I'd be happy to pay this for high grade fish but the quality was so poor - mushy and flavourless, I suspect a lot of it had been in the freezer for a long time. Unbelievable that they can get away with this. Should have read the Google reviews!

Really difficult place to review as some dishes were great, others not so much. The wagu beef was delicious and we ordered 2 portions. The spicy chicken was fine, great flavour, but the meat was a bit fatty and tasteless. The ribs didn't taste nice. They are quite tough and tasted old. Not fresh, didn't fall off the bone. Tasted like they'd been out all day and reheated. The bao Buns hardly contained any meat and we're a bit disappointing. Buns tasted fresh, but bit underwhelming. We had a really friendly and helpful waitress who helped massively with our decisions and was lovely. The atmosphere was good. I might try again for smaller plates, but not as good as it could be.

Not worth the price at all, massively overhyped. We booked through First Table, which gave us 50% off and we did this in particular because we had heard Robun was overpriced. The spicy fried chicken was excellent. However, the 20 piece sushi set (shown in photo) was severely underwhelming and at regular price it was £42, and it did not match the price at all. When the bill came, we found the food was worth it with the 50% off, however not so at regular price. Service was good and not busy at 6pm. Probably would not return.

Firstly, Japanese is my favourite cuisine and I loveee sushi. I’ve been here twice now, both times using First Table so that I pay half price, and to be honest even at half price I don’t think that it’s worth it. Robun is trying to be fancy/expensive but it really isn’t good enough to justify it and the small portions. One time I ordered the wagyu and got 5 thin slices that tasted nothing like the glorious melt in mouth taste that Wagyu is. I’d say it’s very average and certainly wouldn’t pay full price

In short, everything was overcooked, but some things more than others. There's a Wagamama directly opposite Robun, do yourself a favour and eat there for much better food and much better value. The lamb cutlets were the biggest issue as they were really tough. At £19.50 for 2 tiny cutlets, I was expecting something pretty special. Half of the Chicken gyoza's were burnt on the outside, although, the ones that were not burnt were actually very nice. The duck (at £35 for 1 breast) was very overcooked and also tough. In my opinion, rib meat should fall off the bone and shouldn't have to be cut away at which was the case here although the flavour was pretty good. The spicy chicken karaage was OK but as was the rice but nothing to write home about. When a server asked how our food was (by which time we'd only eaten the karaage and half a cutlet each) we informed them that the cutlet was tough. The response was "I'll let the chef know". I think the correct response should have been to offer to take the food back but that didn't happen. When asking for the bill later, a different server asked how everything was and I replied with something like "average at best as all the meat was tough or overcooked". The only response was "oh, I'm sorry to hear that". It wasn't a total disaster but for somewhere that's a bit pricey, I expected much better. And finally... A server told us that she and the other servers do not receive their tips in full but they are in fact distributed throughout the whole company. So her bosses take a share of her tips and so do her managers etc. Absolutely disgusting way to treat staff.

The food was delicious, presentation and service were great. We went for lunch and the prices were appropriate. This restaurant offers a fine dining experience preserving most of the traditional Japanese ingredients. I think the only problem is that they need to make it clear to all customers that they are neither a traditional Japanese restaurant nor a Japanese fast food restaurant, but a fine-dining Japanese restaurant.

We ordered all the dishes from the vegan menu and they were incredible especially the bang bang broccoli, vegan bao buns (the smoked aubergine in them was a taste sensation!!), sticky mushroom rice and another dish which I can't remember the name of but it had a teriyaki like sauce and it was simply incredible. The staff literally could not have been nicer. We felt so well looked after. I had a mocktail which was also out of this world.

The service was slow and awkward, main brought before starter, waited ages to order or to get food even though they were not busy, the steak was abysmal, £49 for a terribly tasting steak that I had to spit out into a napkin as it was cold and slimy and tasted rotten. When I finally got someone to come over with the bill the card machine was practically shoved in my face with no checking how the food was even though the steak was very much still on the table uneaten. After I had paid she asked me if everything was okay with the food, AFTER I already paid. And she had cleared the £49 steak and saw it was uneaten. Never coming back here again. I work hard all month to give myself and my daughter one nice day out each month and we wanted to try a new place. So much money wasted on something we did not enjoy or even eat.

Never again. Overpriced and under quality. Booked weeks ago. Arrived and table wasn't ready. Two of the three chef signature dishes were not available, neither were a few other dishes. Food arrived out of order with starters and mains missing together. The food was not even lukewarm, the lamb was cold. The rice was dry and the sushi pieces were tiny and below average quality.

Stunning food and nice service. Prices are high but well worth it for the quality of the food. Cocktails also excellent.

the food is okay but the service here is horrendous and I don’t know how such people are hired if they hate their job so much. the vibe gives off fine dining yet no one checks up on you whne they serve the food. The waiters glare, and treat you really cold. AVOID!

Had the seafood bento box for a lunch date, and the servings were pretty average across the board. Tempura vegetables were okay, sashimi was fine. The sad water cress sprinkled over the mackerel was just depressing. For some reason a separate bowl of sushi rice was also included, which was dry on the outside and mushy inside. Puzzled by that one. The miso soup was delicious, however and was genuinely the best bit. Service was pretty indifferent and food took around 35/40 mins to arrive. Had to then hunt down someone to pay the bill and again was met with complete indifference. Suits Bath I guess. Wouldn't go back, but would absolutely bathe myself in that miso soup given another chance.

Our second visit and probably our last. Despite fine dining leaning prices, it's nothing like. Deafeningly noisy on a Sat eve (though improved a lot when one particular table of Neanderthals left) and service as flaky as is regularly described on here. Very nice young hipster guy, but clueless about actually serving. We were served a dish we didn't ask for, and sure enough - it was on the bill when it came. The popcorn shrimp could have been great had it been fried a little longer, as it was, it was soggy and greasy. The lamb loin chops looked like a huge portion, and had a very punchy marinade. However, they were massively fatty and hadn't been trimmed at all. The meat was decent, but there was so much sinewy, inedible fat to separate, it made eating hard work. When my plate was collected - the fat piled high - he said "oh, are you finished?", as if I was going to eat any of it. TRIM your lamb chops. Leave a rind sized amount of fat on, and they would be pretty decent. All in all, there's a bit of an amateur hour feeling about the place. Worthy of an occasional visit only.

I rarely write negative reviews but I have to do so for this restaurant to spare anyone the horrible experience we had. Please do not subject yourself to whatever level of Hell Robun is in. My husband and I chose to go here after assuming that the negative reviews were overly fussy people who will look for any excuse to complain. We were so wrong!! Let’s start with the service. It took 45 minutes for someone to take our order, despite us trying to flag someone down for most of that time. It was almost funny how dramatically the waiters avoided looking over at our section of the restaurant. The table next to us, seated around the same time as us, left without ordering because they got so sick of waiting. We would have done the same but they’d taken our credit card info when we booked the reservation and we were worried they would charge us the no show fee if we left. When we finally placed our order, the waiter didn’t take our menus off the table nor did he remove our unused wine glasses. Not something I’d typically mind too much except that it was really the cherry on the cake. As we waited for our food I realized that almost not table around us had food even though they’d been there much longer. And NOBODY looked happy to be there. I mean everybody in our section was unhappy. So anyway we got SOME of our food after another 45 minutes of waiting. We asked to waiter for some soy sauce, which is typically on the table at sushi places, and he poured a little bit (really a very small amount) into each of our soy sauce dishes and then took the bottle!! What kind of sushi place doesn’t leave the bottle? The sushi itself was not even worth it. The rice was cold and hard. The fish was fine but didn’t taste fresh. Also the color and texture of the tuna was sus but we ate it and did not get sick so there’s that. The rest of our order never arrived. We asked for the bill and found out that the waiter never bothered to even ring up some of the things we asked for but there was no way we were going to bring it up and then wait who knows how long. I have never ever asked to take off a service charge in my life because I am someone who tends to give waitstaff the benefit of the doubt. Restaurants can be busy and waiters can be overworked. However this waiter was so rude and so completely horrible that we asked to remove the service charge. To his credit he did so without fuss, and honestly seemed very unsurprised.

It’s ok experience hence 3 stars. The food is ok, not exceptional, overpriced generally for that reason. Unhelpful not overly engaging staff. They are just doing there job. Not great choice for vegans and only on menu. I’ve been twice and I live in Bath. I wouldn’t rush back

Myself and my wife got food poisoning from our meal here last month. Food tasted good at the time but we were very ill from one of the dishes. After making a complaint and filling in the required forms we were denied a refund! We had 5 people in our household that weekend who all ate the same meals except for me and my wife who ate lunch at Robun. Funnily enough no one else was sick so it could only be this restaurant's food. A note on the service, it was very slow and not particularly welcoming. The toilets were pretty disgusting, pretty much what you would expect at a nightclub, not an expensive restaurant. Final nail in the coffin was the price, we paid about £85 for a meal for two which included 50% off the food!

The food was good but I felt only one or two dishes were refined. The food is nice but I wouldn’t say it’s memorable. The waiter was not clear on the menu, when we asked questions was unable to answer and some of the worst service I have experienced. The decor and atmosphere was ok, we felt a little rushed with the food and the order in which the food came out was rather haphazard and there was no consideration to the flow. All in all I’m left a little underwhelmed by the experience.

Wow, just back from Robun today and needed to write a review...def pre-book as it's busy but we got a lovely window seat so away from the masses which was great! The service and the food from start to finish was amazing! Highlights were the crispy veg gyozas, wagu beef sliders, octopus skewers, sushi, and the miso soup was divine! Really can't rate this place high enough, went with a friend and we shared 8 dishes between us, the perfect amount of food. Thanks to the team for a great experience, can't wait to go back!!

For my girlfriend's birthday, we decided to dine here, and it turned out to be an exceptional choice. The staff greeted us with warmth from the moment we arrived. Our server, Jo, went out of his way to ensure our evening was not just good, but memorable. The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a special dining experience. It's a must-visit!

Our third visit, what’s happened? Is Kasae leaving the issue? Service was never a strong point but the food made up for it, sadly not on this visit. We do not like fish but the ribs and lamb chops we love. We were told there was no lamb, 2 minutes later no ribs either! Surely this is very poor planning for a Friday night! We were left with little choice in the menu. Our rice didn’t arrive at all and the £14.50 vegetarian dish was a joke! Chicken karagee was good but much smaller portion size than previous visits. Not sure we will be back such a shame .

Disappointed overall, cold silent service. Food was mostly tasty and hot when it arrived. They advertise that the food comes out when it's ready rather than all at once which is fine for small plates to share however side of rice came out last so didn't have anything to eat it with. Service was lacking, cold welcome at the door. Staff unenthusiastic and not attentive. Waiting 25 minutes just to order a drink, no-one checked in to see how the food was at any point. No offers of more drinks. Plates left empty on the table despite staff walking past 5 or 6 times. Finally offered desert menus but then waiter did not come back to take the order. We eventually asked for the bill instead, then waited to pay as well. Overall atmosphere lacking, other tables near us also commented on the lack of service. Food was OK but overall overpriced considering the service and atmosphere. Would not recommend if you are looking for good service and atmosphere. We were very disappointed. If you were using a Groupon voucher for afternoon tea (£29.95 ) would likely be more satisfied.

We ate off the A La Carte Menu, which was very nice, but the two items we wanted to try, which were the sliders and king prawns were not on the menu that day. We had a Salmon platter and the seaweed was chewy and it felt like it was not freshly made and the salmon on top was soo cold you could not taste the salmon, but the rice was room temp. The atmosphere was not very good either, it was so quiet, it made it feel uncomfortable. One member of staff was wearing jeans and a jumper and look very untidy and was also drinking a can of redbull? This is a very pricey restaurant, which did not fit the staff dress code and atmosphere. All in all very disappointed with the whole experience, we would never go back and would not recommend it to anyone.

I didn't have a lot of money to spend and I was treated like nothing. the waitress looked down on me. There was ramen on the menu displayed outside and when I wanted to order it, the waitress told me with a disdainful look that it was only for lunch. so I ordered the sushi platter which had no taste, the wasabi was bland. (they are better at waitrose!!!) Very bad experience. prices are in addition service not included! and what service!!!! of course I do not recommend and should have read the reviews before going.

The “Bath Landlady” has done a fantastic job at the pub. Was a pub with a reputation of Fosters lager, and some interesting people. Now it’s cool, with an excellent selection of drinks, it’s been stripped back and now feels like a proper pub, with plenty of live music and a hip clientele. As a former Bath pub landlord, this pub is bang on

I recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Budo Izakaya, and it was truly a fantastic experience! The food was exceptional—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, accommodating all our requests with genuine hospitality. The vibe felt like a true izakaya in Japan, lively and welcoming, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable evening. Highly recommend Budo Izakaya for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience!
