About ROKA

The name ROKA carries great meaning - ROKA is a meeting place where food and drinks are shared with friends (ro) and heat, warmth and an all-embracing energy surround (ka). The principle cuisine is from the robata grill, which originates from the fishermen of the northern coastal waters off japan, who would cook the fish on the boats with different charcoals and share the bounty with one another using their oars.

ROKA charlotte street opened in 2004, ROKA canary wharf in 2009, ROKA mayfair in february 2014 and ROKA aldwych in october 2014.

Kindly note that our set brunch menu is served throughout lunchtime on Saturdays and all day on Sundays – a la carte menu is not available during this time. Menus may vary according to date, time and location, please check menus prior to booking.

    Overall the service was very good but it did feel rushed, likely down to the fact that it was late Saturday night, we were the last to leave. Food was very good indeed. One dish was not quite to my liking , and the team could not done more, they were apologetic, and exchanged it for something else without hesitation. Thank you.

    They have been very nice and caring with my allergy to garlic. Cocktails are ton of ice full and very small cocktail, place is very noisy, and food is overpriced for a quality can find everywhere at half price and quantity of sashimi slices is so poor. Desserts are superlative, but it’s not worthy at all.

    Although the initial impression was mixed because we waited for 5 -6 min by the entrance to get our table, the rest of the evening was amazing. Food was fresh, delicious, full of flavour and beautifully served. The selection of drinks was great as well. The staff who looked after our table were amazing, attentive and super professional. We had an amazing experience thanks to their service, great food and freshness of all ingredients. Would definitely like to come back
