I have recently got introduced to Robata-ya. Basing on the same content/concept, the difference between these two restaurants is the seasoning. Nanbankan is more salt based seasoning and Robata-ya is more sauce based (variety!). Even though I’ve been a loyal customer to Nanbankan, I have to say Robata-ya has more gourmet selection from their daily special menu that continuously presents new dishes which I love about and also their sushi menu. You would be pleasantly surprised with the sushi quality! Now, I can’t remember when was the last time I’ve gone to Nanbankan.

Their menu includes about anything that can be grilled, included shiso wrapped chicken, to bacon wrapped asparagus and from ginko nuts to quail eggs – the list goes on and on – and lots of seasonal seafood. I have been going to Nan Ban Kan for about 20 years and have had a consistently good experience every time.
