November 2025 Yelp Elite event at Cute Robot: I had a great time tonight! It was fun trying a new place, and it was my first time having a Japanese sweet potato dessert. The decor and murals inside the restaurant were awesome and well done. There was something to see on every wall! I loved my vegetarian bento box with buttered noodles (so delicious!), Japanese potato salad, and mushroom onigiri. The sweet potato dessert had a pretty purple color and tasted unique. I also had a chance to meet the owners, Janet and Mark--a nice couple who are passionate about their business and their food. I definitely look forward to going back and trying more items on the menu.

Overall was alright, food was ok, but a bit much for ok. Pork Curry Rice was like Pork and Beans, had a pork in it, lots of potatoes. Tasted good, but not 16 bucks good or 16 bucks large. Maybe the cutlet really is needed. Was still hungry after eating. Had a corner of the Tamago Sando or egg salad sandwich and fries and that was great. We also ended up getting some dessert and the chocolate cake was disappointing, but the strawberry cake was great. Atmosphere and service inside is also excellent.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile. I love the style, Japanese street food/comfort food. I was a little nervous when we first walked in as there is just a small bar area and a couple of tables, but they have an upstairs dining and bar area. There is cute Japanese decor and tables. Our waiter was helpful in providing any recommendations or answering any questions we had. We ordered an Ryukyu Old Fashioned and Sprite to drink and the Okonomiyaki to start. The Okonomiyaki was great, a pork pancake with onions, cabbage, mayo, and some other ingredients was really delicious! We had the Shoyu Butter Noodles and the Cute Robot Fish Fry that were both paired with miso soup. Really good! The potatoes that came with the fish fry were so good! The food was ready pretty quickly. We are excited to come back to try more of the menu!

The food was really good. I couldn't take pictures fast enough before my family attacked their food. This place will become apart of our family dinner spots. Thank you to our waitress, she did a wonderful job, and her recommendations were on point for new comers.

Cutest hidden gem in Milwaukee! 😍 We popped in for a quick snack and were blown away! The Okonomiyaki and Agedashi Tofu were crispy, savory, and full of flavor….can’t wait to come back for the mains. The vibe? ADORABLE. Every corner has a fun detail, the patio is gorgeous, and there’s an amazing cocktail bar upstairs that feels like a secret lounge. Total 10/10. Go now before everyone finds out! 💫🍹🍽️
