"Very tasty food of the asian fusion variety. Nice ambience, but a little pricey particularly given the portion size. Definitely worth a visit for half price tapas during happy hour or if you can get a coupon"

"Some of the above are probably great, but we haven't used all the amenities. Shrimp Lo-Mein, delicious; potstickers great; duck quesadilla superb."

"Raves reviews for food, service and ambience! Maine lobster sandwich was great - the spicy mayo gave it a nice kick! Highly recommend this place!"

"Zero stars for service. We put in our order and the waiting begins. Two ladies sat down at the table to our right. We get our lukewarm coffee. A couple sat down to our left. Our waiter disappears. The ladies to our right get their food. Then the couple to our left gets their food. It's been 30 minutes since we ordered. Our waiter shows up finally & says the food will be right out. Another 20 min later... no food still. The ladies to our right finish their meal. No sign of our waiter. When he finally shows up, he sheepishly apologizes & says he will try to see if he can do something about the long wait. BTW, he didn't do anything. No manger came to speak to us, no comp for our lukewarm coffee... nothing. Will never come back."

"Service was extremely slow, which was surprising given the restaurant was not to capacity. Took an hour from the time we were seated until the time we received our food. Had to ask for drinks multiple times before they were served. Food came to the table cold and there was about 10 minutes between when the first plate was brought until the last plate was delivered to our table (and there were only 4 of us). Very disaapointed. Will not be returning. Food quality was ok - nothing special."

"This was my first time at Roppongi, we got a UT Deal for $25 for $50 dlls. worth and it was totally worth it. The food was great, the service, everything. Highly recommended if you like sushi."

"The music selection was kind of lame -- something like a cross between muzak and international / ethnic. Easy listening ethnic? International music lite? Whatever it was, it did not work. It detracted from the beautiful interior designa and the good food. And the music level was slightly too loud. Service could have been a little faster. But we will be back."

"Three of us dined here on Saturday for lunch. The food was excellent, especially the exquisite diver scallops hors d'oeuvre, corn soup, and onion rings! Our waiter Matt was friendly, helpful, and discreet. I was very impressed with the decor and food presentation. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone, for all occasions."

"Food was very ordinary...lacked any indentifable wow factor. Looked good on the menu tasted very ordinary in person. On top of that they were out of the first four bottles of wine I ordered. There are so many great resturants in the area...this would be my last choice."

"Have you ever watched Iron Chef and wished you could be one of the taste judges? Well, when you dine at Roppongi, you don't have to wish. Every appetizer and dish were served like pieces of art and every bite was an Iron Chef experience. Need I say more?"

"The service was terrible, super slow and the young guy who served us was terrible in doing his job. The older guy was much better but only showed twice at our table."

"One of the best Asian Fusion restaurants I've experienced, the food selections were great and so delicious. The service was outstanding. I was visiting friends in the area and discovered this restaurant on the Internet. My friends who live in the area didn't know about this restaurant and fell in love! Will definitely return on my next visit to La Jolla."

"Was disappointed after a previous visit a year ago when we had a great experience. They were not very elegant cleaning the table in between menu items, forgot an appetizer and forgot ingredients for our sushi and sashimi rolls. Although we had a variety of appetizers, sushi rolls and sashimi there was no food item that was special and in need of mentioning here. Very average experience."

"The food was excellent and the service was as well. We ordered a number of tapas. Our favorite was the Roppongi Role, although the duck quesadilla was quite tasty!"

"Our whole family had Easter Brunch reservation at 12:00 at the resturant.We arrived at 11:55 and was prompted seated. The waitress came by about 10 minutes after we were seated and took our orders.We waited another 20 minutes and no one came by the table. We were really starved by now so I asked one of the waiters if he could bring us some bread since we could not find our waitress.The waiter was unfriendly, instead of apologizing for our wait he said "I'll see what I can do" after we requested some bread.We were taken back by his comment since it sounded like it would be a big burden or favor on his part to bring us some bread.Of course he never brought us any bread. By now we had waited 40 min with no food on the table.Easter ruined!"

"Although the crab Benedict was delicious the service left much to be desired. When one of us ordered coffee it took us asking three different servers before it came. We asked to have the bill split a certain way when we came in and again before we got the bill. We had to send it back to have it redone. The food is great, but the service was lacking"

"Food is diverse and tasty - good variety. Served quite quickly. Took us 15 mins to get a drink order placed upon arrival. Think they were understaffed for the pace of a Saturday night (with a wedding party in private room). Also, NCAA tourney on big screen at the bar and in a very close game, the bartender changed the channel with :47 secs remaining -- bizarre and infuriating. Watched the end of game on our iPhone -- craziness!
Will go back but service was a bit lax."

"Roppongi was some of the best sushi I've ever had! We had 3 sushi rolls, the prospect, roppongi, and albacore jalapeno. Everything was so fresh and tasteful it is rally hard to go back to sushi that takes any less than this place! The atmosphere is nice and relaxing and I had a great overall experience!"

"Roppongi is a great spot to dine in La Jolla. The menu is varied and interestting, though not really a place for foodies. We were there in the winter and the indoor dining is warm and inviting. The seating, unless you're in a cozy both, isn't the most comfortable, but it was fine place for a small group. Though a bit noisy at times, it is a fun place to go for a special birthday or occassion for small groups. The service was attentive and courteous."

"After waiting 1/2 hour, we finally got our drinks. Our waiter kept coming over to the table & telling us the bar was really busy and we were "in line". The food was the same - we ordered an appetizer to share, two cups of soup and 2 entrees. The soup came first, then our drinks, then my entree followed. It was nearly 1/2 hour more before my husband's sushi roll came and then we finally got our appetizer! The waiter apologized, the manager apologized, and they bought us dessert. While the food was really good, once we got it, I have to say, the kitchen really needs to get with the program!"

"Long wait for the food. Food placed on the table without a comment and there was no checkback during the duration of the meal. Drinks were empty at the end and only after the plates were cleared did anyone ask about another drink or dessert. We are very positive diners, but this experience was not a trip back to this brunch."

"This is our first time having brunch there. We have had dinner many times, and are great fans of the tapas menu. The brunch doesn't offer much in the way of variety. I think we will stay with lunch and dinner."

"This is a beautiful restaurant but unfortunately the service did not match the venue. Besides taking forever to actually take our order, the gap between the first persons entree to the last persons was over half an hour. It's kind of awkward to have dinner when your guest has completely finished their entire meal and had the plate removed before you even have yours placed in front of you. The orders were taken at the same time and when asking the server "how long the sushi rolls will be?" He says, "when it's ready I'll bring it out" I was completely turned off by the place. I will substitute the beautiful venue for a less classy one in order to have a timely order and better service."

"Roppongi is by the owner of Sammy's Woodfire Pizza. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, a great beach location in La Jolla Village with easy parking. The menu is wonderful and the food fantastic. Our server was prompt, efficient and pleasant."

"No bread or chips offered while waiting for our food, when our glass of water was almost empty we have to asked for refill, in most restaurant that are rated 4 or 5 star these things would have been offered/served. All in all the ambience is nice, the food is great, location is outstanding."
