    The service, food, drinks and ambiance were incredible. I haven’t had that much fun at a restaurant in a long time. Our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were taking care of for my sister’s birthday and we are so grateful! Thank you!

    We've been to Rokusho twice and love it. It's a bit pricey, but what isn't these days?--and, besides, artistry costs, so it's well worth it. The menu changes frequently, as our waitress said when I mentioned I had the short ribs last time. You can check the menu online, but I have to look up a lot of words, and even then, it is always quite a surprise. A beautiful one, because every dish we have had has been wonderful. I've decided I can order anything; don't worry about it. It is primarily seafood, but they have always had other things, too. There's no sukiyaki or tempura, or if it is, it is very creative. The interior is stunning in dark grays and blacks and woods, and the service staff have been great, and they can tell you in detail what everything is. We are very pleased.
