    Main reason for our visit is to enjoy some ramen but we’re disappointed; not as quiet as what we expect. Not much flavor on the broth and noodles doesn’t have taste either. Probably were being very picky as we previously lived in Japan; but the price is too much for such quality. Appetizers were great though.

    Came here for a friend's birthday and was not impressed. I have always heard great things about Robata so I was really looking forward to this dinner but our waitress had an attitude and did not have any time for her tables and the food was sub par. We waited quite a while just to have our drink order taken and even longer to have our dinner order taken and a couple of us even had to go to the bar for refills. The experience was so terrible that no one at our table is planning on going back. We did complain to the manager about the situation but we were only offered 10% off and the waitress's behavior was just brushed off. Everyone at our table had waited tables at one point in our lives and there was absolutely no excuse for our waitress to be as rude as she was. Not sure how they're still open with that type of service, it definitely wasn't worth it and I wish we had eaten anywhere else.

    The food was delicious, the kitchen was backed which caused a delay in service but that won't discourage me from visiting again.

    Having had incredible ramen in Chicago and Austin we thought we’d give ramen in Memphis a chance. It wasn’t too much of a surprise for how disappointing it was, but at least we won’t wonder anymore. The broth was so very bland and luke warm. My family had to use almost all of the table salt to make our bowls of ramen worth eating. The fried squid legs were good but the “sauce” was a worm-like squirt of mayo in ponzu sauce...maybe, not sure. I guess it’s too difficult to make a flavorful, fun sauce to accompany fried squid legs. Also, a haphazard sprinkle of dried cabbage coleslaw mix garnished the plate...really?!? Just leave it off, the plate would have looked much nicer without that mix destined for the garbage disposal. Unfortunately we were not impressed at all with this ramen establishment but the restrooms were clean and our server was sweet.
