    Always amazing. We make sure we come here when we come to SF. It is expensive but so worth it. Such a treat. This time my daughter and I went a bit nuts on appetizers, wagyu and then the dessert platter. We are moving her to into university so it is super special. Yummy.

    Pretty excellent, per the usual! Sat at the sushi counter which is always entertaining. Highly recommend the wagyu filet tartare...absolutely decadent and excellent. The truffle is infused in every bite of the wagyu. Quite possibly one of the best wagyu tartare I've ever had! Also recommend the blue fin tuna flight if you enjoy sashimi. The sashimi sampler is great for 2 people, and for dessert you must try the Hokkaido Uni. Excellent dinner experience, highly recommend!

    Fun cocktails, Bijin was very good. Appetizers were all amazing and delicious. We got sashimi tacos, dumplings, and fried chicken. For dinner, we all shared maki rolls which were all delicious but not as high quality as some other sushi restaurants nearby (fish was slightly too warm I thought). Great ambiance and service. Would recommend

    My wife and I were in town for a concert and had dinner beforehand at Roka Akor. The food and service were phenomenal! We had Wagyu filet tartare, and yellowtail sashimi appetizers. And a hamachi Serrano chili roll and Wagyu filet and crispy Brussel sprouts for our main entree. There were all delicious! Needless to say, we’re looking forward to going back on our next overnighter in SF.

    Food was excellent, waiter was very nice and helpful with menu, however during the dinner a server carrying a beer ordered by one of our guests tilted the tray and dumped the full beer on me, soaking my shirt, side of my head and pant leg in beer. They apologized and brought a towel over but didn’t offer any other comp for the accident. The bill was $1400 and I would have expected they would have at least offered to comp me the beer they spilled on me! This was a business dinner, so I didn’t complain or raise my concerns but had this been a different event I would have complained to the manager. Unfortunate overall experience.

    We arrived at 5pm on a Friday and were the second table there. The service was great. Hard to score the ambiance and noise level with so few costumers. The 5 piece nigiri was amazing and ended up ordering a few extra. Had the cod and the New York. Both great flavors. The chocolate cake was delicious!

    We did the Omakase and it was spectacular! Plenty of food for the four of us with each course actually having multiple dishes and ended with desert. The wait staff was attentive and moved smoothly through the courses. Their drink recommendations were also perfect. This was our last meal of our trip and definitely the best.
