    Food was amazing and service was spot on. Only thing I did not like was that music was too loud making conversation difficult.

    We had an amazing dinner and experience! We did the Decadent option and it was incredible - amazing sashimi, lobster, Australian Wagyu, truffle and so much more. Our waiter was amazing and offered great drink pairing options for us.

    My first experience at Roka Akor was outstanding! Service was very quick and they always made sure you were taken care of. The food was delicious and fresh, I highly recommend the robata grilled octopus and wagyu beef and kimchi dumplings! However, I don’t think you could go wrong with anything on their menu. They made our evening so special and we are very happy that we chose to spend the night with Roka Akor!

    We did the decadent omakase; overall, I’ll give it 3/5 stars. Food is decent; the meat and dessert courses were our favorites, and the rest is okay. Omakase style allows you to try different items on the menu and share them between the group. This is such a good idea for restaurants like Roka. But I think the servers need to be trained on how to serve them. One course was nigiri; the sushi was on the table, but we didn’t get any soy sauce until we asked for it. Later, we realized the nigiri already had soy sauce on the bottom, and nobody informed us about it. I expect the restaurant can do better on it when you pay $160 a person. They actually have real wasabi for this course, but we got a huge bowl of soy sauce when we had to ask for it. So the wasabi basically tastes like nothing when you have that much soy sauce. Again, not something you’re expecting when you pay for $$$$ at a fancy Japanese restaurant. The meat was lacking in flavor a bit, but the rest of the food compensated pretty well. Will not do this again, but I’d order the dishes I like individually.
