Robata JINYA - 3rd St

I love this place! I recommend reservations because the place can fill up quickly. It's small and has various seating - indoor, outdoor, sushi bar.We only ordered tea to drink but the alcohol and N/A drink selection both looked really good. I was there with 1 other person. We ordered the kanpachi jalapeño from the "raw" menu. It's delicious, I highly recommend. For nigiri we ordered bluefin toro, seared salmon belly and yellowtail belly. The seared salmon belly is a standout. It melts like butter. We ordered a special yaki, duck and green onion, which was incredible. Pork belly yaki was also great. The salmon & shrimp had good flavor as well. Everything was cooked perfectly. Finally we got a special sushi roll called the Angelino, which had crispy potato sticks - really good. And the lime roll, which was amazing especially if you're a citrus fan. The service was always on point through the entire night. The host sat us quickly. Our server (so sorry I didn't get your name) was kind and really prompt. She had great suggestions when we asked her questions. Coursing of the food was well timed. Plates were cleared pretty much immediately when we finished. Excellent service overall. For 2 cups of tea, a crudo, 4 yaki, 6 pieces of nigiri and 2 sushi rolls the total bill was ~$140 plus a tip. Love this place. I'll definitely be back. You should try it.

Robata JINYA is such a great spot for sharing small plates! I love how the menu has a variety of options, from hot dishes to fresh, raw items, so there's something for everyone.The beef tongue was a standout--tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sushi was also fresh and delicious. I liked being able to order both hot food and sushi. I also really liked the sweet potato and the broccolini. The atmosphere is lively, making it a great place to catch up with friends over good food. Service was attentive, and everything came out at the perfect pace. If you're in the mood for variety and quality, Robata JINYA is definitely worth a visit!

One of my favorite happy hours on this side of the city. Their skewers come out hot, my favorite being the juicy chicken meatballs (tsukune). The brussel spout tempura is unexpectedly one of the best bites on their happy hour menu. The spicy tuna crispy rice is standard but comes with a decent portion of fish on top. Their handrolls are also fantastic. For $10 you can pick two, my go to order is the salmon and yellowtail jalapeño. Love their lychee cocktail as well. Skip the seared tuna and wagyu tataki. Service is great. They have some indoor seating and a sushi bar + outdoor patio, better for smaller groups. Parking is tricky at times but it is worth it for their happy hour deals. You will leave full for sure!

I came here recently for dinner with a friend on a Saturday night. I hadn't been since December; before that, it had been years. We shared a few dishes, and each got our own rolls. The crispy rice spicy tuna was great. I liked the yellowtail sashimi, double albacore truffle roll, which I didn't get seared and got without the tempura flakes, and the la brea roll without the tempura flakes. Service wasn't great, though; the waiter was hard to flag down. It was very busy for a Saturday night, you definitely need to make a reservation.

We love it here! We went here for our anniversary and I just enjoyed the welcoming. The food is delicious. I recommend Robata JINYA - 3rd st

First time dining here. Everything was excellent, wagyu ramen, spicy chicken ramen, La Brea roll and baby scallop roll. Loved every single bite

I came for happy hour last Friday and was told that it was not offered. I'm unsure if it was removed completely or only for that day, but I was pretty disappointed.

robata jinya is one of my favorite causal sushi places in los angeles, they never disappoint. they have the best albacore crispy onion sashimi in my opinion compared to other sushi restaurants. the yellowtail is good as well. the hand rolls are super good and the fish & seaweed are both very fresh. the spicy tuna crispy rice is good, but not the best. the creamy shrimp tempura is to die for. the rolls are great as well, but are pretty small in bite size.

For our last night in LA, we couldn't have picked a better spot for dinner. We enjoyed the tuna toro, sake flights, and chicken meatball, and each dish was beautifully presented with an incredible freshness I haven't experienced in a long time. The ambiance inside was equally impressive, adding to the overall experience. The only downside was that our waiter never checked back after taking our order and missed one of the items we requested. Thats why they received 3*; That said, the quality of the food and the attention to detail in the presentation more than made up for it. I'd definitely return for the sushi and sake!

Great food and impeccable service. Got seated outside between the heaters which made it nice and toasty during winter time. Brought my dog because it was her birthday. Our server was very kind and recommended food for our dog as well. I ordered a chirashi bowl which was not included in the menu but the chef still made it. Had a really great time here.
