    I annually enjoy a dinner at this wonderful restaurant. The food is so tasty even in Japanese. We could have an amazing dinner with colleagues as ever. Particularly, the hospitality of the floor staff was remarkable. One of us was birthday at the day visited. Thus, the staff in charge of our table perfectly supported to celebrate her. Thank you for everything.

    Initially I just order two but the waiter said it's not enough. So I ordered 3 at the end. However, the three dishes were really too much for one person. The taste of food was ok though not extraordinarily exciting. The sauce on oyster was too sour.

    The food is outstanding. We had a group of 5 and everyone was blown away with how great the food was. Drink service was amazing as well. The only things that fell short were, the chop sticks were terrible, it sounds silly but some of us struggled to pick up the sushi with how blunt and big the chop sticks were. Second our server was dropping dishes and speed talking his way through the description. It was hard to understand what he was saying so our first few coarse’s were a bit of a mystery. Overall it’s an amazing experience and the food is the best meal we have ever had in Chicago.

    I had a reservation for 8:45PM, didn’t get seated until 9:05PM. With that being said, I would suggest implanting a time limit for tables on more busier days. The atmosphere was very lively for a Saturday night which I didn’t mind. I had “the imperial” as a cocktail which was really good. The octopus, Brussel sprouts, hamachi roll & warm chocolate cake. My favorite dish being the Brussel sprouts. I liked the flat top/kitchen, being able to see the food prepared from my table was nice. I would return either during the week or earlier on a Saturday.

    Booked the table in advance from Europe, came on time, had to wait more than 40 minutes as they 'had a delay'. While the restaurant was indeed packed, the problem seems to be poor organization, or even more likely greedy restaurant policy and lack of respect for customers. Unfortunately, decent quality of food, kindness and great service of our waiter and few balls of offered ice-cream couldn't compensate for the overall bitter experience. Besides, heard from a couple of colleagues on a similar experience. In summary, probably never again Roka Akor in Chicago. Really a pity!

    The venue was beautiful. The aesthetic was chic and elegant but very casual at the same time. The beverages were well made.
