Vegetarians will be happy to know that Robata has a good selection of meatless plates, such as the Crisps & Dips with vegetable crackers and a creamy dip made with crushed avocado, shallot, tomato, and pepper soy. Other vegetarian options are the miso aubergine with pickled shimiji mushrooms and Robata red chilli, and the broccoli steak, to name a few. Moving onto the next parts of the menu, we had the salmon roll with asparagus, avocado, crispy shallots, and yuzu mayo, which was fresh and had great textural contrasts. From the robata grill we went for the sweet and spicy beef skewers and the signature dish, the wood-flamed Iberico pork pluma with black pepper and sweet pickled nashi pear. The meats were smoky, tasty, and the seasoning was on-point.
Robata Soho would make a great group dining location as there is definitely something for everyone on the menu and the food comes out quickly. Aside from the cocktail and wine menu, there is a sprawling selection of sake, Japanese whisky, and other hard liquor. Robata also offers a pre-theatre and bottomless brunch menu.
