Robata is a go to place for sushi and ramen. They have a variety of vegetarian options, including veggie broth. Small on the inside but has a good sized patio if the weather is right.
So this is what you do when you come in:
1) Choose the cut of noodles (regular = no surcharge)
2) Choose Chicken, Veggie, or Pork Broth. If you can't and don't eat pork, this is one of the few options in STL to get a non-pork broth. They also can give you pulled chicken - instead of pork slices.
3) Choose (Salt vs. Soy Base, light broth vs. dark broth)
4) Add any optional toppings. Free toppings are Nori (Seaweed) and fried garlic. Do this.

1) Get a table
2) Get wrist bands from the host that link to your credit card. What happens if you want to pay in cash? You still need a CC on file, but you may do so at the end.
3) Walk about and tap the monitors to learn about the beer and wines.
4) If you want some eats, you order at the coal oven area- but they will bring it out to you with a number to put on your table.
5) Check-out/cash-out with the host when you are finished at the very end.
One really neat thing they do is pay their servers a real salary. So none of the tip goes to the servers. Instead, your tip goes directly to a non-profit that they are supporting that month.
