roppongi japanese steak & sushi

i had not been to roppongi since they first opened. my husband and i went with another couple last night, we arrived around 7pm and were seated quickly at the hibachi table. our waiter nick promptly took our drink order and asked if we wanted appetizers. we got the spring rolls ($6 for three small rolls). they were good, but would have liked a sweet & sour sauce for dipping. three of us opted for hibachi and the other in our party got sushi. it took a little while for the show to start, but we were enjoying the company of our friends. the show was the same as any other hibachi show, but the food was excellent. i had the strip and my husband the chicken hibachi. although i did not try the sushi rolls, they were large and looked delicious.  the hibachi came with soup and salad, along with rice, noodles, grilled vegetables and your choice of meat. our bill for two people was $77 which included the appetizer, two mixed drinks and two beers. it was a very enjoyable evening with friends. i can't wait to gobackand try the sushi for myself.

great sushi,service so-so. sushi was wonderful and waitstaff was attentive, up until we went to pay our bill. server mentioned buy one get one half off on appetizers so we ordered two appetizers, received the bill and it was not correct, she went to correct the bill and still broughtbackthe same bill after having run our credit card. offered drink refill but never got it. would love to return for the food but the service needs to be upgraded. spent over $80 for 2 people dining and the food was well worth it but the service was still lacking.

mediocre, not my favorite for sushi or hibachi. roppongi was not bad but not great either. first, i had expected the interior of the restaurant to be a lot nicer judging from the exterior. in terms of atmosphere, roppongi was fine but if you sat in a booth, the tables and booths were kind of cheap looking while nagasaki really has a nice decor with the pond and bridges and fish tanks.

i ordered the bento box for $24 and my husband ordered the chicken bolgogi. they first brought out salads and soup. both were fine, but i much prefer nagasaki's salad dressing and soup. then they brought a spicy tuna hand roll that came with my bento. that was probably the highlight for me. i'd never had a hand roll, and i enjoyed the spiciness.

the bento came with tempura shrimp and vegetables (sweet potato and potato) and that was pretty good. the california roll was not bad but just meh. i would say the hibachi vegetables, shrimp and beef were a little on the cool temperature side - not bad, but the beef was kind of odd. it was like they had cut a cross section through a rib, rather than serve it length-wise, so you were getting a small bone with meat around it.

my husband's chicken bolgogi was one of the menu recommended items,but it was pretty disappointing. the pieces of chicken had a really odd texture - almost looked like chicken livers to me. the sauce on the chicken and noodles was ok, but far from a favorite, and neither of us would have listed this entree as a signature dish to the restaurant.

so overall it was not a bad experience - the service was good, but if i want hibachi i won't comebackagain but will go to nagasaki or even zuki.

worth the trip. my hubby n i've had sushi in many cities. roopanji ranks as some of the best ever. try top secret, dynamite roll n playboy. we also had tempura veggies n edamame. we asked the chefs to recommend n just set us up. we also asked our waiter for suggestions. we weren't disappointed. the service was excellent. the food was fresh and delicious. my only suggestion is next time i'd ask them to stage the food a bit so it doesn't all come out at once but this i would consider our fault not theirs. if we lived here in evansville we'd bebackweekly for sure!

wonderful experience. i think i have tried sushi in every place in evansville and this place is tops! i had two sushi rolls and both were very fresh and prepared great. the atmosphere was wonderful and the service was good. will definitely return there when i getbackto evansville. im still learning my way around a sushi menu but will try something different next time i go.

after reading the article from evansville courier- my friend and i had lunch there. very warm atmosphere, wait staff was pleasant & very helpful explaining menu. we both had sushi, fried rice & salad. our meals were served in a very timely manner and the sushi was great!! will be headingbackreal soon!!!

great sushi, uneven service. we have been here three times and each time the food has been very good. unfortunately, the service, each time, has been... weird. once it took us 30 minutes to get an order of nigiri. next time our server was very slow. most recent visit was just awkward. don't know how else to describe it.

we will bebackbecause of the food, and we hope that the service will get better as this restaurant matures.
