Dancerobot comes from Jesse Ito and the team behind Royal Sushi, landing on Sansom Street in Center City West with a menu built around yoshoku — Japanese dishes filtered through Western influence — alongside the kind of snacks found in a Japanese convenience store. The room leans into an '80s-inspired dreamscape, a clear departure from the sushi-counter format the team is known for at Royal Izakaya.
The menu spans from egg dishes that have built a following among regulars to a kare pan modeled on the Krispy Kreme doughnut format, stuffed with meat instead of filling. It's a wide-ranging spread, and locals describe leaning on their server to get through it.
