Five star service. Food was very good. We had the green tea tart, it was the best dessert we have had in a long time, delicious! Main entrss, the cod and sea bass, both were very good. High prices, worth it for a special night out. Justin our server was outstanding, he made the dinner exceptional.

Walking upon the place we really enjoyed the appearance when we got to our table after making reservations still waiting 20 minutes, then being approached by two different waiters saying that they both would be waiting on us, which made us anticipate a very nice dining experience, however our service was terrible we had the salmon with mashed potatoes Never was given silverware had to wait to get a waiter to even get subway and then by the time we got the subway food was called then we asked for pepper had to wait for that had to wait on our drinks so I guess we were set up with high expectations from the beginning by being approached by two waiters I think it was gonna be amazing service and it was a disappointment for us

My boyfriend and I sat at a high top in the bar area. The restaurant was nice and busy, but not overwhelming. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. She made some great suggestions as we ordered small plates to share between the two of us. The food is amazing! We are definitely going back.

Roku Akor is OK. We have been twice, once in the dining room and once in the bar for happy hour. The happy hour was a better experience. less stuffy, better service. some food was much better than others. we are learning. will return for a happy hour but would not make a special trip.

This restaurant has good food, but has absolutely no idea about serving guests with food allergies. It was sheer luck that the member of our party with tree nut and sesame allergies didn’t have a reaction that would have sent her to the hospital. Items on the menu were not properly labeled (ie- green beans just said chili & garlic,but they also contained almonds, sesame seeds sprinkled on the corn and on the plate with the miso cod, after being told they were safe for her to eat) Server seemed helpful when we ordered, but he and whoever was working the kitchen had zero awareness about what ingredients were in the food. Manager never once came over, even after asking the hostesses on our way out. Extremely disappointing, as well as unsafe for anyone with food allergies.

Our favorite restaurant in Scottsdale…and they did everything to accommodate our increase in group size for Christmas Eve. Our server knew just what to push us to try, and the food was excrement! Service was on point for our large group. Thank you!

The menu is no simplistic and predictable. Had I ordered the chef's choice nigiri I know I would have gotten yellowtail, salmon, tuna, and two other boring things. Food is way overpriced and considering what this place was and what it is now there is absolutely no value here. Go to any sushi bar in town and get the same thing, lets not even talk about the overpriced beef.

It was our 10 year wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and the ambiance was great but our server forgot to put in almost half our order. We ordered 4-5 appetizers and they never came out. When we got done with our entrees, he asked us if we were ready for desserts or the check. We were so confused and asked about the appetizers. He told us he forgot to put it in and the kitchen was closed so they couldn’t make it. I was pretty bummed. He did try to make it up by giving us dessert on the house but we were still very hungry after. After we paid for our bill we realized they charged us for an item we never received. My husband and I drove back to get it fixed. Our server was really nice and attentive so we felt bad if we complained but for how much we spent and still left hungry we were upset. He asked us to come back and ask for him so he can try to make it up to us. We felt so bad because we knew he was sorry. We never even mentioned it was our 10 year anniversary because I’m sure it would have made him feel worse. Not sure if we would return to Roka Akor.

Sat us next to the door to the outdoor section, every few minutes we got a giant draft of cold air. Waitress disappeared by the end of our meal. Busboys were the most attentive part of our service, as well as the servers’ assistants that brought out almost all of our food. The food was as high quality as always, with a few modifications in portions of some sashimi and dessert dishes. The service here used to be phenomenal, we always got knowledgeable servers with full understanding of the menu and excellent attention to detail in their service. Things have greatly changed. Younger servers with seemingly little experience in fine dining and no proper people skills. Overall, a good restaurant and probably the best fish you’ll get in the area. Their service seems to have lost its touch.
