We got the chef experience which consisted of a 6 course meal. The food was excellent as always. My only issue is it’s the same chef experience as before. A little disappointed about that. However, we will be back, as always because the food is always top notch.More infoRoka Akor - Houston$$$$• Steakhouse• River Oaks•4.6

If you are with people who do not appreciate sushi, they have cooked rolls and other types of food. The bar has a wonderful list of cocktails to choose from. It is located upstairs, so if you sit by a window, you have a good view of the area.More infoRA Sushi Bar Restaurant - Houston Highland Village, TX$$$$• Japanese• Downtown•4.5
