We sat outside and had a great meal. The food was presented nicely and was flavorful.
Bar service could have been faster, but it is a hard time to staff so it’s understandable. The roka mule was almost all ice, but the second cocktail was more reasonable.
4/5
Great! Eric was awesome! We ordered whatever he recommended and liked liking it.
Beautiful experience. Seated with birthday greetings, birthday card and comp bday dessert after our awesome super good meal❤️ Our server Will was great. Request seating area granted. 5 stars! Thank you so much for the great dining experience Roka Akor!
Amazing experience and wonderful service. What a nice anniversary
A little slow on the service but overall good experience!
Was our anniversary and not a mention or congratulations from the staff. It’s our 3rd anniversary dinner there.
Very expensive but very worth it. Went hey with my wife for our anniversary and we are glad we did. Very memorable
Perfect service and great food.
Perfect every timr
The twice cooked corn is always our favorite at Roka Akor. All other dishes were terrific, too. Notable starter is the crispy rice with tuna tartare!! Wagyu sirloin with bone marrow was very tasty , too.
Service was smooth and gracious.
Music not to our taste; too loud and too thumping of a beat,enough to force a material increase in spoken volume required to have a conversation with our table mates.
Thank you for your review! We're so happy to hear that your dining experience was enjoyable and that your dishes were tasty and enjoyable as well. Thank you for your note about the music. We try and monitor it as best we can, but we will take a more proactive approach moving forward. Hope to see you again soon!
The server, Edwin was awesome! The food was fantastic. We plan to come back again soon!
So glad to hear that you enjoyed the service and the experience as a whole! If you're ever interested in having your same server, you can request them for your next visit! (Erik, I believe it was!) We look forward to you next visit!
Not a good, high-value experience and the food/etc was overpriced considering. VERY disappointing.
Another amazing experience at RokaAkor.
We had birthday dinner and really enjoyed our meal.
Great service, delicious food and creative drinks.
Thank you for your kind review, Isabella! We're so glad that the birthday was well spent with us! We enjoyed having you here! Hope to see you again soon!
Love all their delicious food and service. Can’t wait to come back soon!
Thank you for your review! We are so glad that you enjoyed the service and food! We are slowly expanding our menu! We may have something new on our menu for your next visit! Hope to see you again soon!
We got the Omakase, and upgraded to the steak dish to the A5 Wagyu Beef from Miyazaki. There were 5 courses, but each course, had 2+ dishes. Everything was perfect. And the Wagyu Beef was amazing, melted like butter. Highly recommend trying the Omakase
We are so thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your Omakase experience! It is a great way to explore and enjoy all aspects of our menu. We look forward to your next visit!
They include a service and SF charge totaling 25% to your bill. They should advise you of this. The waiter did not. So be mindful so you don’t double tip uneccesarily. Also, we’ve been before a food was amazing and fresh. This time not so much. They were out of the tiger shrimp tempura which was disappointing since it’s a popular dish there. And the food quality flavor and taste was not as good as it typically has been. My guess it’s not fresh. The drinks were good though and that will never disappoint.
Our server was great! The food was a bit salty. The 8oz wagyu filet and the crispy Brussels sprouts were too overcooked. Overall it was a good experience. I hope they improve the food quality in the future.
Consumer beware! U will be charged an additional 20% on your bill WITHOUT A TIP FOR THE SERVER INCLUDED. No one told us this. Its no fun when a $400 meal becomes $800 . U HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Great food and very amicable service. Ambience is great, well designed and well mataimes. It is pricey but it corresponds in valie
Amazing food and cocktails. Service was nice too. Amazing flavors!
Thank you for your review! We change our cocktails seasonally! Check them out as we head into the Winter months!
It was our very first time to have dinner at Kora akor. We had the 5-course omakase which was highly recommended. The food presentation was amazing and the food was to die for. The full experience was excellent.
We Highly recommend it.
Thank you for your feedback, Queenbee! The Omakase is definitely a great experience and a great way to explore the menu without making a lot of decisions! Next time you're in, we have a lot of great dishes that may not have been featured in your Omakase and seasonal options as well! Hope to see you again soon!
Very nice place, food was very good and outstanding costumer service.
One of my favorite restaurants! There's a reason why I always choose Roka Akor to celebrate any important dates, and that's because the food, service and ambience are top-quality. I've been here on multiple occasions to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and my engagement, and have never been disappointed. The food is prepared in a very delicious and elegant way, from fresh fish from their raw bar to rich steaks cooked to your preference. I always leave Roka feeling extremely satisfied, and I look forward to finding more reasons/occasions to head to Roka for an amazing experience.
Thank you for your awesome review, Jeffery! Love to hear that you find our spot a great place for a celebration! If you're ever looking to host a sizeable party here, feel free to reach out! We would love to host an amazing experience for you and your friends!
Great food and Great service Great vegetarian options as well. Omakase experience was amazing.
Thank you for your review! Glad to see that the vegetarian options were also enjoyable! We are hoping to expand our menu to offer some more great vegan/vegetarian options soon!
Very friendly and attentive service. Amazing place for a celebration or party. Highly recommend the bone marrow and blackened cod.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! So glad to hear that the service was attentive and the food was enjoyable! If you haven't had the chance to order takeout from us, we have some great deals that we only offer for carryout! Try them out next time you're feeling like staying in! Thanks for your review!
Everything was great, but it was really weird that the 18% gratuity fee doesn’t go towards tip. We added actual tip, but baseline prices should really be raised instead of adding this confusing fine-print non-tip fee.
Parking was very difficult but the sushi was very fresh and delicious
Thank you for your kind review! Sorry that you had a difficult time with parking. You can always give us a call before your reservation to ask what garages are best for our location, we have a few go-to's. Glad to hear that the fresh sushi made for a great time though! You can also request to sit at our sushi counter, for an up-close view of our chefs at work! Hope to see you again soon!
Favorite restaurant in SF. It’s been 8/8 for me on blowing my mind with unique flavors. It’s expensive but worth it for nice occasions.
This experience was not as good as the last few times.
Delicious food, beautiful presentation, attentive service. One of the best dining experiences in SF.
Perfect for date night!
Thank you for your review! Happy to hear that it is a great date night destination! With our new addition of the patio and our intimate bar and lounge, we have many different great spaces for a good date night experience! Try sitting at our Robata or Sushi counter for your next date night for an up-close view of our chefs at work!
SO DELICIOUS
Wonderful service!! Great food
Our server Oscar and cook Nate were outstanding. Everyone described the food as they were serving us. GM Erin came to our table to check on us. It was very pleasant experience.
We will see you soon again.

Martin Annush

First time here and really enjoyed the place. Say down in bar area and everything from service to food was awesome
Thank you for your awesome review! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the bar and lounge atmosphere and service! We used to have a daily happy hour in the lounge pre-covid and it is something we want to eventually bring back when the pandemic settles down. You can keep up-to-date on this on our website! Hope to see you again soon!
Omakase is amazing!
Glad to hear that you enjoyed our Omakase experience! We offer Omakase for takeout too, for those nights that you're not feeling like going out anywhere but still would like a great treat! Orders require advance notice! You can find that offering on our Tock Takeout Platform on our website!
Food was great, service wasn’t good at all and still 18% tip was compulsory.
Fabulous dining experience. Highly recommend.
I took my friend there to celebrate her Birthday and we had an incredible experience.
We decided to go with the "Roka Akor Omakase." Making no decisions was the best decision ever! The food was phenomenon and plentiful, we ate every morsel. I can't wait for another special occasion to pop up so I go again. Loved it!
Thank you for your pleasant review, Pedro! It was such a pleasure to see you again after such a crazy year! So happy to hear that you two enjoyed your Omakase experience for this special occasion. We also offer wine and sake pairings to go along with Omakase! You should give it a try next time!
Great restaurant! The side dishes and the appetisers weren’t small at all!
Thank you for your review! Glad to hear that you enjoyed our sizable sides! One of my favorite combinations is the Truffle Fries with Bone Marrow! Try it next time you're in!
