About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Hot spot
Opened in 2010, Robata JINYA reflects cooking techniques and traditions passed down from Tomo’s father combined with his personal deep appreciation for the City of Angels. Now expanding to Honolulu, Hawaii, Robata JINYA plays to traditional robatayaki service of slow charcoal-grilled skewered meats and vegetables as well as exotic sushi and sashimi plates. Tomo aims to provide a lively space where sharing of small plates, as well as conversation, is encouraged. Further supporting the mission of comradery, Tomo chose the name “JINYA” in reference to the historical estates of samurai that later served as community meeting points. Welcome to Robata JINYA.

    Nothing really great…. Bad service 5 in our group, we ordered separately some items were the same so they brought it to our table on the same plate and didn’t explain that. So while the person they placed the plate in front of ate , everyone else is waiting for their order…. a SO WE ENDED UP REORDERING and ended paying more…. If you go to Jinya in Japan you will get your order on your plate served to you not everyone else We ordered drinks and it took so long to get them….

    Kenneth provided great service to us!! But we stayed there for 3 hours too long for our 10 course Omakase. The food was coming in every 20-30 minutes so there was a lot of waiting.

    Wow. Probably the best sushi meal I have ever enjoyed. We shared a few rolls including the Lime and King of Toro roll as well as the Garlic Edamame - ALL were delicious! Will definitely be back to enjoy again.

    First time at the Robata Jinya. We were immediately seated and our waitress was really pleasant. She was attentive the whole time we were there. The food was absolutely delicious. The ambience was great. We got to try both happy hour items and non happy hour items. I definitely enjoyed it. I can't wait to come back

    The whole experience was lovely and the premium omakase was exquisite. Our server Kenny (I think that was his name) was very sweet as well as all the staff, and we appreciated the sparkler he brought at the end to celebrate our special occasion. We enjoyed it so much we were the last ones to leave! That was my first time there and what brought us in was seeing Instagram foodie influencer Townie Tay on a video as she promoted her experience having the signature omakase. Can’t wait to go back soon! Mahalo for a magical experience. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The sushi chefs were amazing! Amazing service from the sushi chefs as we sat at the bar. Our server was not that great, disappeared after dropping us the menu as we wanted to order more things after we finished with the omakase. Our sushi chef noticed we were waiting and kept looking back for the server, he assisted with getting a staff to help us. Besides that the food was chefs kiss! Great ambience, the restaurant looked modern. Definitely would go back, although the service could be better at a nice place like this.

    Drink selections is decent . I had the Japanese old fashioned and my date had the lychee tini. Presentations on drinks and dessert is over the top lol California dynamite was ono . Would recommend this for more of an happy hour spot instead of a date night
