    Usually on point, but the service was awful and my steak, which was supposed to be medium, was well done and overcooked. I asked for the main course to come after we had finished our appetizers. It.showed up before the apps. Overall a massively disappointing experience.

    We’ve been here before and it was fabulous. That was not our experience this time. We had a reservation but hostess said they had no table for us and offered us either sushi counter or bar. We sat in the bar area at a tiny table that your legs couldn’t fit under so you had to sit sideways. Service was extremely slow. 20 min before someone came to table and asked for drink order. Server was friendly, but must have been spread thin because we didn’t see her often and it took a really long time for our food. Food was delicious. But not the experience I expect when I go to a nice restaurant like this. Very unhappy and would not recommend. Mostly unhappy about not having a table for us. Hostess said they were overbooked. Why allow reservations?

    We have a lot of experience with fine Dining. Unfortunately after sushi Roku closed this year we decided to try Roka Akor. Omg let me tell you, I ordered OTORO highest grade sashimi over 100 dollars And it was given frozen as a block. Secondly, ordered flank wagyu for my daughter and it was a rubbery steak. Finally the worst thing is a saw one of the CHEF blow his nose on the food line and he did not Wash his hands and he continued working with his hands on the food line. I was disgusted. Oh I forgot they had a hair on my sons food so we got that waived. Just plain bad do not go there as there is hygiene issues.

    Parent’s Night Out & Date Night! We could not have asked for a better evening. Started at the bar with some amazing drinks and an amazing staff behind the bar. We then sat on the patio and Marcus and the rest of the staff were superb. He walked us through a multi-course dinner that started with apps, then oysters and a tuna flight, then rolls and mains. The food, drinks, staff, and environment never disappoint. We absolutely love this spot when we are on this side of town. Highly, highly recommend!

    We enjoy Roma Akor. My friend and I love sushi, our wives not so much. So whenever this couple is in town we dine there. It’s usually 5 stars all the way across. Last night was just a little off - service was clunky and the food a little ordinary. All very good but not up to our expectations.

    We came to Roka Akor several months ago and got the tasting menu and everything was delicious— the sashimi was fresh and tender, the Wagyu steak was melt-in-your-mouth good. This time around, the sashimi was chewy and tasted fishy, and the Wagyu steak was so chewy I basically had to swallow it whole. We were very disappointed. I’m not sure if this restaurant is hit-or-miss, or if their overall quality of fish and meat has just gone downhill.

Our favorites from the meal were the tempura lobster and their dessert sampler. Everything was amazing and the staff were equally as amazing! Can’t say enough good things about this place! definitely will be back.

    We would prefer more sashimi and sushi. There are two veggies courses, one is grilled jalapeño, the other is grilled eggplants which are pretty good. There are two meat courses, pork belly and rare steak. One lobster tempura and one black cod with mushrooms. The sashimi course is good as wells as the four oysters. The dessert is excellent.

    We were seated outside, which is fine. However, you would think that a restaurant of this stature would have fans or misters when the temps are in the high 90's. Heck, Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers has top notch misters. I would think a restaurant like this could invest in some if they are going to be seating people outside when the temps are hot. But...food was good. Service was good.
