ROKA AKOR - ScottsdaleSome of the group did theSome of the group did the seasonal chef selection others ordered entrees. We were warned about the timing since not everyone was doing the tasting menu. It worked out perfectly fine. The courses flowed very well and we were all able to try a lot of different things. We also got several appetizers that were good especially the pork belly, calamari and scallops. It was very good food and our waitress was extremely helpful. The infused shochu (mango chilie) was delicious. It was my father's birthday so I had a cake delivered to the restaurant before they opened. They were extremely helpful in getting that set up and brought the cake out with candles (which I had forgotten to even ask about).5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dining experience.

Would recommend to try a little bit many items.
Great sake selection.
The only reason I didn't rate overall outstanding was because the menu had some items that I priginally wanted to order, but were out of.
Would definitely recommend and return.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was outstanding.The food was outstanding. We enjoyed watching the sushi chefs creating works of art out of sashimi.

Walking in the door between the fire pots is very cool. The tables are spaced far apart which is great. I wish more restaurants would do that. The Waygu beef and kimchee dumplings were great. For an entree, you cannot do better than the Japanese A5 Kobe beef. It is the best there is and the kitchen executed it perfectly. The sweet potato with ginger teriyaki was very good. I am not a sushi fan, so I cannot comment on that, but everything I had was worth a repeat visit.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMOur favorite restaurant inOur favorite restaurant in Scottsdale.

Dined on Shigoku oysters with yuzu and Umi masu toro mi (ocean trout belly)with osetra caviar. I was told I got one of the last bites for a while. Amazing. A new menu item of local beet salad with jalapeno miso vinaigrette was so refreshing and wonderful. Not the standard you see on every menu in town. One of the most interesting dishes I had was the Rabbit Tenderloin with pickled plum, shiso and aka miso. So much flavor and innovation.
