Expensive, but worth it
You come to Robin for omakase - a chef's choice of sushi, with a few additional items for variety. Allow a couple of hours for dinner - the kitchen will rush if you need them to, but it's better if you take it slow. You choose a price level ($99 -$199 per person), tell your server your preferences and restrictions, and then put yourself in the chefs' hands. This is an elegant experience, which prices out to about $10 per piece of sushi . Most diners should be satisfied with a meal of $130 - $140, which is no small change, but worth it and worth savoring. The fish is super-fresh and each piece is complemented by some distinctive additional flavor element(s) that set(s) it off beautifully. Non-sushi courses of miso soup, tofu, cold noodles, and coconut ice cream may appear depending on the evening, and each of them is delicious as well. Outside seats have propane heaters; inside is a bit crowded and can be noisy. Background music is trying too hard to be hip. For this level of quality, you should have jazz or classical as a background so that you are encouraged to slow down and take the time to savor - and SFJAZZ is right around the corner, after all.

Visited Robin with my brother and we ordered the full Omakase menu and paired it with a nice bottle of sake.
I was extremely impressed with the food at Robin; it may be one of the best meals I've ever had. It wasn't simply the high quality ingredients but also the interesting composition of ingredients used in every course which absolutely elevated the dishes to another level.
Robin's compositions had me enjoying some raw seafood that I had previously written off and not enjoyed such as Sea Urchin and Scallops, and I found pleasant surprises in their Steelhead and Grouper dishes.
Our waitress was also extremely friendly and took the time to discuss the details of the dishes and answer our questions.
Overall due to the price involved it's not a place I could afford to visit on a regular basis but would absolutely return occasionally to revisit some of the best Japanese food (as well as food in general) that I've found.
Good food overshadowed by off-putting atmosphere
Unfortunately, I have mixed feelings about Robin. I love Japanese cuisine, so I enjoyed the food. However, the restaurant felt pretty cramped, and the music was extremely loud. It reminded me more of a late-night bar scene than a serene Japanese dining experience.
Be the first to ReplyNothing short of spectacular
Sat at the bar and ordered no-end (by choice) Omakase: what a delight.
The food, the service, the ambience was quite an experience. Top notch place for people that enjoy fine dining in a relaxed setting.
Wonderful food experience
Great decision in visiting Robin. Sat at the bar for the Omakase experience. Sous Chef Dan did an amazing job and served great sushi while providing a great experience overall explaining the details of each piece. Half of the fish comes from Japan; a good part from local fishermen.
Food is top quality; full of flavors. Service is impeccable with attention for details. I will try to come back whenever in San Francisco.
Amazing experience!
I loved the whole experience! I had no idea what an omakase restaurant was so this was my first time. Every single plate was absolutely delicious! The steak tartare 💓💓💓 was amazing and also the noodles with Australian black truffle were to die for!! Every single plate was served on a specially designed ceramic that made them more interesting.
The service was excellent and the ambience was eclectic and nice. No wonder there was not even one empty table or seat at the sushi bar!
Unforgettable Birthday Omakase! ありがとうございました
If you haven't been to Robin in San Francisco you must! Omakase in a Japanese restaurant, you would leave it up to the chef. It's a meal consisting of different dishes selected by the chef.
It is an experience, a concept, and there is no menu.... Omakase style ! J'adore ! What a ride, what a foodie journey. Even the sake, and Crémant are memorable. This was absolutely an unforgettable BIRTHDAY! We were at the bar and taken care of by the Owner, Karina, Mya and Blair.... This crew is a well-oiled machine and deliver such an amazing masterpiece. Let them know if you have any allergies and enjoy the adventure!
😘🥂🍣 #foodporn This place is truly one of the sexiest any restaurants in town.
ありがとうございました Thank you.
Worth the price
Went here based on a recommendation and was excited to try. I was a little nervous because it was 100pp starting and that's a lot for a casual weeknight dinner-but I was not disappointed. It totally exceeded my expectations. This is the best sushi I've had outside of Japan. The most fresh, delicious fish you could imagine, paired in such creative and delicious ways. Every single dish that was brought to us we savored. I highly recommend visiting and will be back.
Be the first to ReplyOverpriced, contemporary omakase that's not spectacular
Overall good sushi and sashimi served omakase style. Went with my Japanese girlfriend and both of us were underwhelmed especially for the expensive price. Tasting menu starts around $90, but this amount often leaves one hungry and adding items can take you up to $190 depending on how much you order. I think we paid about $150 pp. Everything was good, but little was "wow!" For the price I thought Kasakube in Financial District or An in Japantown were far superior in terms of food quality and ambiance. If you have $$$ and need a good meal in the Hayes Valley area, you should enjoy it, but if really looking for top Omakase, look elsewhere. Service was good. Given level of omakase restaurants in SF, won't be going back likely

Fabulous food prepared just for you, taking into consideration your likes and dislikes. It was like an artfully selected sushi meal designed for your price point. We told the chef we loved uni, and it seemed like that was considered heavily as he selected what he would give us. Decor was wonderful.
Be the first to ReplySuperb, an honor to eat here!
Wow! This place is incredible, from the second you walk in the door, to when you leave. My husband and I sat at the bar and what an amazing experience - to say the least. The food is actually indescribable it’s that incredible and worth every penny. If I could, I would eat here every week. The experience is sensational and the flavors that come out of every dish awaken your palette as each bite goes on. We did the lower priced option (less courses), but next time I come back I am going all the way to the end. For the experience and the food that you are receiving this is very reasonably priced. We will most certainly be back and cannot wait!
