Robongi

I had good experiences in the past and this was not. Ordered through Seamless, I asked for white fish preferably for my sashimi box and ⁶⁄₉ pieces were salmon and tuna. No good parts either. Didn’t feel fresh. Salmon skin is usually fried, I expected it to be crispy and without bones but it was not cleaned well, too rough to chew. Spicy yellow tail just had tataki (tartare and unable to feel the chewiness) yellow tail pieces and spicy mayo with some fried crunchy pieces. Unagi didn’t feel fresh in the roll.

Had 3 rolls delivered, and they were all smashed in a big mess, and looked horrible, never again.

Stopped by a couple of weeks ago for some take out. First time ever trying their menu. I was very happy with the extensive menu. The sushi was very fresh and tasty. Had a couple of different rolls, including one of Signature Soy Rolls, the Pacific. It was excellent. Will definitely be back. The staff were happy and helpful and were more than happy to share their selections. It is a BYOB and next time I’m going to dine in.

I had dinner here outside last summer. The service was good and the sushi was decent. Also, ordered a salad with Ginger dressing.
Not cheap but not overly pricy either. I would come back again but there are definitely other restaurants in Hoboken that I would like to check out as well.
In nice weather they do sit outside as well and you will have a view of Washington Avenue.

Ordered here for several years and the sushi was good, by non-​NYC standards. However lately it has gone downhill quickly. Delivery took over an hour, the fish was definitely not fresh at all– fishy tasting tuna, stringy octopus, and inedible yellowtail in my sashimi. The miso soup so very watered down. Totally disappointed and I think it’s time to order from another restaurant in Hoboken.

Hands down my favorite sushi spot in the area. Casual, not fancy, BYOB STYLE, but the customer service is always on point and the sushi is always fresh. Had many great times here. They always greet you with a smile and welcome you back as if they have known you for years. A must try if your a sushi-​nista like myself. A small gem that any true foodie would appreciate.

Came here last night with two friends for some sushi and vino. I was impressed with how many people were fit into such a small space, it was popping in there! We had to wait about 30 minutes to get seated which is understandable considering it was a Friday night. I loved the vibe of the resturaunt. They had some fun clubby music setting the mood and the décor was awesome. I felt like I was in a surf and turf resturaunt but it was japanese which was pretty cool. The service was great and they had a good variety of rolls at very reasonable prices. The rolls were good and seafood was fresh but I wasn’t amazed. I tried the spinach shitake mushroom roll after reading a recommendation from a fellow Unilocaler but I have to say I was unimpressed, it was different but not very good in my opinion, i’ll stick with the seafood. I also tried the spicy scallop roll but it was very strange, I shoudl’ve known better but i wasn’t expecting a raw scallop and it was just too chewy for me. Robongi is a cool resuraunt with a fun vibe, decent rolls, and it’s BYOB.

Joe’s crab shack feel and Michael Bolton singing on the background… Will continue review when meal comes.

Tried this place yesterday as take-​out but I picked it up, and I must say the place is really eccentrically decorated, and it was fun. And as soon as I walked in I was warmly greeted, and given my order correctly.
I ordered a side of spicy mayo, and I was kind of afraid to try it because it wasn’t smoothly blended like the rest of the places I’ve gotten it from, but it was actually delicious, and so were their rolls! I was so happy. I feel like it is always such a scary thing to try new Sushi places, because you are just hoping that they don’t get you sick, but everything tasted really fresh. Nothing felt oily or soggy. I would definitely order from this place again!

Highly recommend! My friends have raved about this place for a while and I finally gave it a shot last night. The tuna sashimi was incredible. Extremely fresh and very large pieces. Fair price points for just about everything on the menu. We also got the Philadelphia roll and salmon avocado roll. We all really enjoyed the sushi, BYOB and vibes in the restaurant. This is my new go to sushi spot in Hoboken

Yes — the décor is camp and the music matched, but this made it more fun for me. The service was friendly and quick, and the food was also good. After way too much deep fried food on my holiday, I needed something fresh to counter it all. The sushi and sashimi was freshly made and used good quality ingredients, and the chicken teriyaki was fresh and not deep fried or overly sweet and swimming in too much sauce. The other Japanese place a couple of doors down looked like a more sedate option in terms of décor, but I would come here again!

Really enjoyed their bento box! Very well balanced yakisoba, good sushi and a great vibe altogether. The servers and manager/​owner were very friendly. Favorite sushi place in Hoboken. Would totally visit again!

Came here for a friend’s birthday and didn’t know what to expect.
We started with a tuna tartare appetizer. This was amazing– we couldn’t get enough of it!
Our main course was two boats and everything on them was awesome. The roll with the avocado was by far my favorite! I’m getting hungry thinking about it. We also had some beef dish that I don’t remember the name of.
Service was awesome — Ron helped our large party and was amazing every step of the way. Just a quick glance in his direction and he jumped to be of assistance.
The BYOB is of course the best part of this place. We went through a LOT of wine and of course we had to do a round of Saki bombs (don’t break Ron’s table!)
I hope I get invited back here — I can’t wait to come again! Very easy to get to from Manhattan. Path to Hoboken + ~10 minute walk.

Great food and a cheeky atmosphere with BYOB that makes for a nice night out.
Beware: they charged us $ 1 for a tiny amount of Sriracha and $ 1 for a tiny amount of eel sauce (since the roll advertised eel sauce and came with a couple specks of it), and they did NOT warn us about the charge. We found out when the bill came… not cool people!
Pros:
1. Sushi is fresh and tasty, we like the Iso Roll and the Salmon Sashimi the best, but all of their rolls are interesting and tasty, and there’s a lot to try. Oyaku donburi is also a lot of food, very filling, and tasty. Their gyoza (we go steamed to think we are being healthy as we gorge on pork filled goodness) are also yummy. We tried the spring roll the other day, and it was greasy deep fried goodness, but wasn’t too special so we would probably not get that again.
2. Service is adequate for Hoboken, you don’t really get one waiter, they all kind of pitch in, so you just grab someone close and tell them what you need.
3. Pricing isn’t awful.
4. BYOB is great, but on every page of the menu there is a «warning» that basically says there is a $ 25 per person minimum if you BYOB, which is kind of steep. We always spend more than that, so we don’t know if they actually charge someone $ 25 if they came in for lunch with a bottle of wine and only spent $ 18 a person as an example, but that’s a bit odd.
5. Good outdoor seating in the nice weather.
Cons:
1. Décor is cheeky/​kitchy at best, you feel like you are in an amusement park ride or a really bad beach/​lake setting.
2. The BYOB $ 25/​pp minimum might be a really bad surprise at the end of the meal, not sure if they actually enforce that or not.
3. Restrooms are unisex, so therefore dirty (don’t mind as a guy, but the girls might).

Robongi sushi uses high quality ingredients and the flavors are absolutely fantastic. I was first introduced to a shittake mushroom roll at Robongi and it has been an honorable mention of mine ever since. They also have amazing mouth watering avocado rolls, and cucumber rolls that can no longer exit my mind because I immediately want to come here and eat the whole restaurant. Overall this is an extremely tasty sushi spot worthy of trying out. They carry some of the best vegetarian rolls in Hoboken hands down!

This is one of the better places in Hoboken for sushi. Quality is consistent and you are not taking a gamble. The servers are nice.
My favorite is the sashimi lunch special or just their sashimi in general. The fish is always fresh.
I’m not a huge fan of having to scream during meals because of loud music. Some nights it becomes pregame central at robongi. Overall it’s a solid place for sushi in Hoboken.

Although I don’t order from here very often, I like it a lot.
1) The food is usually pretty on point, especially the sushi. My first time there, I was so impressed by how fresh, thick, and tasty the sushi was that I forever compare future tuna rolls to that day. And BYOB!
2) The staff is pretty nice and friendly. Usually have a good amount of small talk w the hosts and servers.
3) The décor is like Japan meets pirate ship. A lot of wooden fish, nets, paddles, etc in addition to japanese art and pieces. It’s a little too dark for me in the restaurant at night, but not bad for a romantic date. Or maybe someone who’s face you’re not crazy about.
4) I’ve never had to wait for a table, but I have noticed it gets very busy at night. So plan to go during the day, early evening, or to go. In the summer, there’s also outdoor seating!
5) It’s a bit pricey to me, but reasonable for the quality.
Of course, there’s generally only metered street parking and very competitive, but that’s pretty standard for Hoboken.

Came on a Saturday night with brother and others. I’ve been here before and it keeps me coming back for more.
Let’s start with the ambiance. For me personally, I love it. Yes it’s a bit loud, but I don’t mind it. Good music and the people enjoy it.
The sushi is great. I love the apps and they have a great variety of rolls to pick from.
BYOB as well so enjoy the party!!!

Ordered delivery from this place despite the slightly high prices because I was really craving Japanese food. Gave this place to try and I was not disappointed at all! I had their Tempura Soba — it came with 3 shrimp tempura and several vegetable tempura pieces. The broth was yummy and it came with some vegetables in it. I added my soba noodles and my cravings were instantly satisfied! — except now I am craving more soba noodles as I type this.
Anyway, I also had the Eel and Avocado Roll and that was okay. it was decent quality sushi.
I would eat at this place again, just not often. Delivery did take a while, but it’s okay. The prices are just pretty high. I can get similar quality sushi for cheaper in NYC!

This place is a solid 3.5
I’ve come here a bunch of times over the years, and they never disappoint.
On the weekends, there will be a wait.
The place is quite small so you will be jammed in there.
BYOB which is always nice.
I always get the sushi, and its always pretty good. The Iso roll is yummy!
Service is pretty quick.
