If humans are mostly made of water, and fish traditionally inhabit water, fish should naturally occur in the human body. Fix this gap in nature’s logic with today’s Groupon: for $12 you get $25 worth of sushi, hibachi, and fusion fare at Robata of Tokyo.

At Robata of Tokyo, the hibachi grill's flames bathe the dining room in a warm glow as they lick a menu of chicken, steak and seafood specialties. Calamari ($18) or filet mignon ($24) leap through the ring of fire and land atop a bed of fried rice and grilled vegetables. Patrons can perch at the sushi bar and pause from chopstick drum solos to cheer on owner and sushi chef Mr. Shindo as he girds dozens of sushi delicacies with a seaweed belt. Classic morsels include the tuna ($2.85) and california ($4.50) rolls, as well as more complex bundles of salmon, massago, and black caviar ($10.25). In between bites, diners gaze at minimalist, geometric designs punctuated by traditional Japanese murals and jealous cats peering from in between sliding screens.

Robata of Tokyo

Traditional Japanese culture dictates that the hearth of the house was the heart of the house; a common space where family and friends broke bread together. The robata restaurant takes that concept further, typically by making a fiery grill the centerpiece of the dining room. Mr. and Mrs. Shindo, the owners of Robata of Tokyo, aim to capture a familial, welcoming atmosphere, where you can sample a wide range of Japanese cuisine spanning sushi, tempura, and hibachi grilling.

Cooking is theatre at Robata: take a seat at the sushi bar to watch the chef prepare both traditional and unique sushi rolls. The Halloween roll features salmon, avocado, and masago. You can also watch as chefs at the hibachi grill slice and dice meat and veggies and serve it directly to patrons. A full bar is on hand, too, serving sake and beer.

Traditional japanese paper walls partition the restaurant, and dim lighting illuminates Japanese murals on the restaurant wall.

The Groupon Guide to: Hungry Hippos

Are hippos hungry? You better believe it. I mean, look at them. You don't achieve a state of such rippling girth without living in a perpetual state of desire and consumption. Depending on the hungriness levels of your household hippo, you can keep your pachyderm's palate pacified with the perfect meals dictated by this hunger gauge:

• Hungry Hippos: Tropical semiaquatic greens
• Hungry, Hungry Hippos: Nutrient-rich pellets indistinguishable from plastic white marbles to nonscientists
• Hungry, Hungry, Hungry Hippos: Human flesh, or new brand-name synthetic human-flesh substitute, ChunkaHunk®
• Hungry, Hungry, Hungry, Hungry Hippos: Any landmark or architectural structure recognizable enough to convey location in a movie
• Hungry, Hungry, Hungry, Hungry, Hungry Hippos: A not-insignificant portion of the moon
• Hungry, Hungry, Hungry, Hungry, Hungry, Hungry Hippos: They cannot be sated. They cannot be stopped. Say your goodbyes, for that sound over the horizon is not thunder.

What do hungry, hungry hippos eat in real life? The answer might be you.

  • The sushi/sashimi is top quality and beautifully prepared. The gyoza is the best we've had with a great dipping sauce

  • The only aspect better than the food is the personalized service you receive from the host / owner. You feel as though you are a guest in her home.
