It's delicious. They grill it perfectly over charcoal, so all you have to do is eat it. It makes you realize how delicious it is. Everything is delicious. They grill everything even when it's too hot. Thank you. I think it's okay to just point. Salted fried chicken is best eaten with sauce, salt and pepper. It's delicious. Also, I think it's good to use Google Translate to translate the menu.

何を食べても美味いです。予約した方が無難。 焼物はアスパラ、ピーマンが好きですね。

If you want to think outside the box and go in an excellent traditional Japanese restaurant, please go to Robta-Uroko. It was a so pleasant place that we went twice! Otherwise it has to remain confidential because it’s really a charming place where the lady who cooks in front of you is extremely lovely.

중앙의 너른 화로에서 구워주는 진퉁 로바다야키. 쿠시로가 로바다야키 발원지이다보니 주변으로 원조집들이 많지만, 여긴 넓고 분위기도 조금은 젊습니다.

dormy inn店員說這裡也好吃,我就沒有去旅遊書上介紹的名店了。親自來之後,真的蠻好吃的,炙燒鮭魚真的不錯~每一樣都好吃。一個人大概會花台幣2000左右。

I been wanting to try out robatayaki from the original place, Kushiro, and this trip to Hokkaido we fulfilled our wish. Robata Uroko located near the Usamai bridge, where the izakaya , Robatayaki & restaurants located. As we took reference from the Japanese magazine, we managed to secure reservation during weekend. The fishes & seafood were grilled to perfection with juices maintain insides. I love the grilled oysters best with it size as large as a palm, & retains its shape after grilling process. The chicken tigh yakitori with negi was great as well with sufficient marination & lightly salted. We also order grilled flounder. The service was great as well, considering a Saturday evening & booked fully. Very happy & satisfied.

If you have just one night in Kushiro and want robatayaki, this is the place you want to go to!! Excellent robata and counter seats where you can see all the action. You may need a reservation.
