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.

    A great place for a quick bite however the Rolls seemed smaller than previous visits and the fish in a couple of the rolls were almost too cold

    We sat in the large patio area outside. It was very pleasant, with balmy weather and light trade winds, and we liked the live music (a solo guitarist/singer). We ordered from the Happy Hour menu and the food and drinks were inexpensive. Even though the restaurant was busy we were served quickly. My friend ordered the local shrimp and chips and I had the tempura fish and chips. Our waitress brought us a small glass of Prosecco (no charge) before our meal arrived. The food was delicious and well prepared. The coating on the seafood was light and crispy (not greasy). The service was excellent. Shout outs to our pleasant and friendly waitress Mahina and to the host Kody. We liked the restaurant so much we came back for dessert the same evening after we attended a music event!

    I had a lunch combination- don't remember what it was called, but it was tasty even if a little limited. My only critique was that it was kind of on the pricey side. But I would like to go back again and try more and different items. We sat outside, which I recommend if it's an option.

    Lunch menu was pretty extensive; lots to choose from. Service was excellent! Servers were very attentive and accommodating. The special birthday surprise was so fun; a lit sparkler instead of a candle!
