Mr Roboto's Newtown

What a wonderful evening full of delightful tastes and scintillating conversation.

Within minutes of entering, winter halted. My first bite of soulful Japanese food, mixed with the calming miso soup fixated my cravings. I felt the regeneration of life tasting the chill of authentic Japanese beer.

The mood was artistic, the space brimming with lanterns bobbing from the ceiling. House beats symphonic in the air. The staff cheerful and welcoming. I found a new local. A perfect place before or after a show. Whatever the occasion, I'll be back for more.

The food was great! Wine was delicious.

Fantastic food, drinks, vibe and staff.

We said Domo Arigato to Mr Roboto and found it to be a very pleasant experience.

Located within walking distance to the Newtown station, this is a fun little Japanese restaurant. While not breaking any records, the food is tasty and about on par with many others offering this cuisine type. They offer dumplings, sushi and tempura veg among others, with plenty of vegan options.

The staff were warm and friendly, and the food was fresh and quick. Perhaps the best part is the decor, with hanging orange lights and some interesting specials on the board. It's suitable for dining alone, dates, small groups and other casual dining occasions.

While the food was nice, the service was a bit hit and miss and the waiter was often distracted on his phone. Two key menu items were also not available and we were early in the evening, so that was a bit disappointing. We did however get a complimentary nip of sake which was cool. It's a shame this place isn't busier given its location near the Enmore Theatre.

Like most yakitoriya in Sydney, it's ridiculously expensive for some reason which kind of defeats the purpose of yakitori. The music was too loud and repetitive, the same track played 3 times in a row before we left. The curry was though and the place looks good. Probably wouldn't go again, but hopefully
it will improve.

Fitout looked nice, food was not the greatest.

Overpriced food. House special was pork and chive dumplings $10 for 6 pieces. Reasonably priced. But they just came out with microwaved dumplings. Skin was thick and unsavoury on the dumplings.
Rice falls apart when you try to pick up the nigiri. Salmon nigiri well over cooked.

Curry rice was decent.

The food was not nice at all and made my friend sick. The plates and glasses were dirty, I would highly recommend going elsewhere. They only had one wine from the list available (Although it was delicious)
Worst meal I’ve had in enmore.

Turned up at 7pm on a Wednesday and it was closed! Someone needs to update their Google page...
