Ah, the cafeteria days. If you were packin’ a Lunchable, everyone wanted to trade with you. Fruit Roll-ups, Capri Suns, Little Debbies – the possibilities were endless if you were willing to give up your neatly divided tray of preservative laden fake foods.
Think fresh and fashionable – it’s the new Lunchable, available day or night at hot spot Kata Robata. The gorgeous bento box is the perfect way to sample the fare at the new Japanese grill, operated by the players behind Soma and Azuma. Brave the construction on Kirby for fab authentic dishes like sashimi, calamari, king crab spoons, pork belly (trust us) and grilled specialties (which is sorta what the name translates to), all served in a swank, newly kicked-out interior. Kata Robata is way more than sushi – we predict it will have a much longer shelf life than the short-lived Hue in the same spot.
You’re not gonna want to trade, so let’s hope a food fight doesn’t break out.
