Roppongi Japanese Steak & Sushi

For sushi and hibachi in the Midwest of America, I give this place 5 stars. (If this was in a bigger city, I would give them a 4). I’ve been here about a dozen times because the food and service is great.
They have a decent list of sushi rolls and then aren’t afraid to put raw fish in their rolls either. I also like how creative some of their rolls are. For example there is one that they light on fire when they serve it. Really awesome.
They also have a big selection of sashimi and maki as well. Very impressive!
The hibachi is good too. I liked how the vegetable hibachi Entrée came with tofu steak. Omg, it was my first time trying it tonight and it was so awesome. Even my coworker next to me who had never had tofu liked it! It was sautéed in soy and teriyaki sauce, which gave it a tangy and salty taste. Very good.
This was my coworker’s first visit and he said he would definitely be coming back as well.

Very good. A little pricey, but worth it. I had sashimi. It was very fresh. Service was good, but it was a week night, and not very crowded.

Took my girlfriend here on a date. I had the hibachi scallops and she had the filet. Both were incredible! Our chef (I think his name was Caleb) did a great job! Not only was he engaging and entertaining but he took time to explain what items pair well and what ingredients are in each item and what that does to the flavor. I could tell he has a lot of passion for foods. Would definitely recommend him again. Everything was cooked and seasoned very well. When we go back we will be requesting him. Just in case I remembered his name incorrectly he is a young white guy with a ying yang tattoo on his arm. He told us he had only been working there for two months but had trained for 4 months before that, very impressive for such a young chef!

Excellent sushi and fried rice! My mom and I love to have dinner here! The prices are wonderful and affordable! I recommend this restaurant if you like sushi!

Great place. Best sushi in the area. Kanpai and zuki are hit or miss with me, and I have never had a bad experience here. If your into great food and great service GO HERE

I’ve had their chirashi, tuna nigiri, and mackerel nigiri. And having sampled most of their raw fish I will concur with most reviews here that the food is top notch. The quality of the fish is superb, chirashi very well plated and presented, and even the miso soup is above standard from regular sushi joints. I’ve been here twice in 3 days and would recommend this place to All sushi lovers. Their hibachi area seems to always be hopping, I’m sure all food prepared there is probably delightful as well :) I also love that the staff is friendly and attentive. Thumbs up !!!

Roppongi is the only place in Evansville that we go to for sushi. Its delicious and they always make amazing looking rolls. Our favorites are the 007 and Roppongi rolls and we always try a different one each time we go. I would give the review 5 stars based on food alone.
Their customer service is absolutely extinct. I have seen this on every occasion that we’ve been there, but I love the food so much I always return. My boyfriend and I like to go out to eat and just sit and talk and have real conversation. Every single time we go to Roppongi we are in and out in less than 30 min. For the amount of money we spend on our total bill which is always around $ 40-​$ 50, we expect to enjoy our time together. We sit at a table, not hibachi, but the way the dining is arranged, it is so loud that you can’t even think. The knives clanking and the party room is open so we might as well have been invited to that bachelorette party last night.
We ordered water to drink, which apparently our waiter didn’t appreciate. He never came back to refill our glasses except when we asked after our food was gone. We ordered soup and salad which is an extra charge for both at dinner. He told us twice that he would have to charge us extra even though we said we didn’t care. We each ordered a special roll so they were both over $ 10. They were delicious and the prices didn’t bother me but he brought all of our food out at the same time. As we put the last bite of sushi each into our mouths, the waiter returns to ask if we were ready for the check. We literally had to finish chewing to reply. Before we got the check a bus boy came and took all our dishes off the table including our water glasses and forks. We felt rushed and unwelcome. I didn’t appreciate the attitude of our waiter or his lack of courtesy by rushing us out the door. Half of the hibachi tables were closed (I assume due to low staffing) and they were making people wait to be seated. Our waiter was very absent from our table even though he only had 2 other very small tables close to us.
For the price of the food, you shouldn’t feel like you’re being kicked out of a half empty restaurant at 8:30 on a Saturday night.

Similar to other hibachi’s but way overpriced. The serving size of veggies and rice are limited to a cup. They also fry spaghetti with soy sauce but you are given that as you’re just about done with your meal. I don’t know about anyone else but spaghetti is not Japanese and I don’t want to pay for something I won’t eat. They add meat to the fried rice by the way. Couldn’t tell if it was plain hamburger or sausage as it was flavorless. They don’t flip food in your mouth as the others do. I was grateful for that but I think most like that part of the show. We had the Highlander Roll (shrimp, jalapeño, cream cheese), it was okay but very small in size and not robust in flavor. Overall, $ 90 was too much for two people. I had filet mignon and my son had steak and lobster.

Great hibachi. But extremely expensive sushi. I lived in Japan for three years and NEVER seen the ridiculous pricing on simple Nigiri that I’ve seen here. Understandable that it’s inland but at least list the prices on the sushi menu. It Will save a lot of surprises when the check comes. Other than the sushi pricing the overall restaurant was fantastic. Excellent staff and a very entertaining hibachi.

This place is just simply the best. We have been here more times than I care to count. We live an hour away and many times we drive just to eat and go back home. The staff is great and food is fabulous! I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great food. Great environment. A lil pricey but you’re definitely paying for what you’re getting.

We ate here with friends after recently moving to the area. big open dining area where you can see everything that’s going on throughout the restaurant our chef was really friendly and personable however the food was extremely greasy which took away from the real flavor of the food I also thought it was a bit overpriced for the portion size. Not sure I will be back.

Complete joke!!! And extremely overpriced. Dont waste your money. Hubby and I had been eating here on and off when we lived in Evansville. The food is standard. We were in the area on a return trip home and decided to order sushi and basic food on their menu to go and it was over $$ 40. $$ 40? To add insult to injury, they charged us $ 3 for hot sauce. $ 3 for two small drops of hot sauce??? Isnt hot sauce a condiment? Apparently Rappongi doesn’t think so. Why would I pay $ 3 for less than .25 oz of hot sauce when I can get 17 oz Sriracha at the walmart behind them for $ 2.78. They forgot to add the salad and soup that comes with the meal. We were 25 miles into our journey home when we decided to eat and noticed it. We called the restaurant owner and he told us if we can drive back and pick it up they would give it to us. Really, drive back 25 miles to pick up salad and soup they forgot to add to our order? Their customer service is completely out of the window and they show no regard to the people who keep them in business. Please don’t spend your money here. Zuki has similar if not better food for half the price and excellent customer service.

Roppongi roll is great … sister got some odd tasting sushi with asparagus so don’t get that lol. But décor, service and food ⁵⁄₅!

We had a really awesome experience great service and great sushi. I would highly recommend the red bull roll. Our drinks never got close to empty. There was someone going around and asking how our meal was and asking if we needed anything. Can’t wait for our next date night to come back!

Went last night for, what we had expected to be, a decent supper. Man! Were MY expectations blown out of the water?!
I have eaten in some of the best and worse sushi bars, tappinyaki houses and Japanese steakhouses in the country, my work makes me travel quite a bit. But, I was so thoroughly impressed with my meal last night, I had to write and share.
The menu options were almost staggering. The most negative thing I could say about their menu is, what I feel, a slight overuse of rolls with cream cheese included. But… come on! THAT’S the worse thing I can say!!!
Brett was an impeccable waiter! Not presumptuous or arrogant, eager to take the time and answer questions, and the recommendations he made was spot on! As great as the meal was, I took his recommendation for one last roll. I feel I should have asked for his recommendation on the entire meal. A great guy, great service, ridiculously good food, I believe it was the owner who came by personally a couple of times to check on us.
I, truly, have nothing but great things to say about the restaurant and would recommend to anyone I liked. And probably never tell the people I don’t like. It’s just that DAMNED good.

Came here for lunch, ordered a lunch combo that was 2 rolls and miso soup. Service was fast and the food was excellent (had a spicy tuna roll and a yum yum roll) I personally thought that the prices for rolls were a little high, but not outrageous. Saw a couple getting a habachi dinner and the show was nice. If I’m in town again, I may give the dinner a try but the prices for dinner were pretty high too. 5 stars for cleanliness of the restaurant and service, but if the prices were a bit lower, I’d give this place 5 stars all around.

I have only been here twice for lunch and ordered sushi both occasions. I have to say Sushi chef Sun kills it, both times all rolls were prepared to perfection and he has great daily chef specials! Eat here, your inner sushi self begs you to eat here! Cheers :)

Very very over priced!!! Not worth the money! Soup was ok and sushi was ok! Very nice but overly done

OK, time for an update on Roppongi.
Decided to give it another go because it’s so close to the hotel. I’ve been 3 more times and found the service has improved greatly. Not 100% as I did get my main order before my Miso made it out last night. How hard can it be to dish out Miso.
I have been when the place was packed, and when it is dead slow. The fish is consistently fresh, the presentation is excellent.
So I’m changing this from a stay away to definite visit.
