ROBATA BAR in Santa Monica
It’s not a hot new restaurant (it’s been around for 5 years), but Robata Bar in Santa Monica is totally worth checking out. It’s right next to its sister restaurant Sushi Roku on Ocean, so the location is great. But the food is even better. We got sushi (the crab hand roll is among my fave anywhere), but the star of the show is the robata (Japanese grilling). Right behind the sushi bar is the charcoal grill where stick-like coals (straight from Japan) are heated to 1000+ degrees. That’s where all the meat, veggie & seafood skewers are cooked. All I can say is, if you’re looking for delicious Japanese grilled delicacies, this is the place. They even have happy hour. I’ll definitely be back!!!

I could eat here every day of the week, and not that expensive unless you eat 20 skewers (which I do…) – worth it!
