About Roppongi and our Restaurant Group: The grand re-opening of the iconic Roppongi Restaurant & Lounge, in downtown La Jolla is all the talk! Roppongi is a La Jolla staple known for its famous tapas including the Crab Stack, Pan Seared Scallops and so many more. With the return of the best of Roppongi’s original menu comes some bold new additions like fresh and colorful nigiri options and a selection of handmade dumplings. Our wine list and specialty cocktails are also sure to impress, and, with the help of a renowned interior designer, this space is full of energy - both elegant and flirtatious.
