This restaurant is worthy of more than five stars!My husband and I have a developed a new love for hibachi and we're trying different hibachi restaurants in the Greensburg area. I will say that we've visited Robokyo's competitor twice prior to our visit here, and I will never go back to their competitor! Robokyo is the go-to place for Japanese cuisine in the Greensburg area.We pulled into the parking lot and were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful building and patio area that greeted us. On the outside, the structure appears to be a historic home with an extension. The patio was beautifully lit with decorative lights. The inside of the restaurant was just as beautiful and decorative as the exterior. Smaller rooms separate the bar, dining room, and hibachi tables from each other, so you get a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy dinner. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who recommended having a drink at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready. The bartender was friendly and just about all the seats at the bar were filled. The beer list offered a nice variety of domestic and international beverages to accommodate a variety of preferences. We waited at the bar about 25 minutes which is consistent with the wait time the hostess told us it would be.The room with the hibachi tables was spacious, inviting, and well decorated. All of the rooms in the restaurant and the tables were very clean and tidy. It's a great location for large and small groups. My husband and I ordered Japanese soda, mostly because we wanted to see what the difference was compared to American soda. As you can see in the photos, the soda comes I small glass bottles and you have to open the soda but pushing a marble through the bottle opening. We had a lot of laughs trying to figure it out and enjoyed the opportunity to try a beverage that we would never come across normally. We ordered the Philadelphia roll and enjoyed it immensely. They put jalapeños in the roll which weren't overpowering and added a little extra flavor that you wouldn't find in other restaurants. A couple sitting at the bar with us previously ordered the rainbow roll and it looked delicious as well! They seemed happy with it from our impression. Our chef for the evening was Ramone. He was professional, skilled, and entertaining! I really enjoyed the way he prepared the food since it wasn't soaked in soy sauce and butter like other hibachi restaurants I've visited. Everything was perfectly balanced with flavor and cooked to perfection. Robokyo was offering a special on the chicken and shrimp entree, so we both ordered it. I normally don't care much for shrimp, but I gobbled all of it up immediately. It was so yummy and flavorful! The portions were on par with what you would receive in most other hibachi restaurants. Fried rice was an additional cost, which I didn't agree with, but it was worth ordering it for the quality of service and the class of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves japanese cuisine or wants to try hibachi for the first time! My husband and I plan on bringing out in-laws here to try hibachi in the near future. This establishment is by far better than the local competitor. We will definitely be coming back!
