and Henderson casual restaurant Purple Potato revealed his latest Asian fusion restaurant, self-described as “honest, gutsy, and often unexpected.” Ramir DeCastro’s Robata En replaces the shuttered 24-hour Vietnamese and Chinese-inspired Lee’s Noodle House at Spring Mountain Road’s Shan Tau Square, close to Arville Street and a few steps from Bank Atcharawan’s Thai-focused Lamaii.
“At Robata En, we believe in making everyday eating a little bit extraordinary. We’re one part local and one part global,” DeCastro says. He changes the menu with the seasons, taking inspiration from fine dining that’s fun dining. “[We] like to make food you can share, food you can talk about, food you’ll want more of, and food you’ll come back for.”
