Over the years the quality of food seems to be going down at this location. It didn’t help that we were seated at a make shift table, in the area of bar front podium and carry out area confluence. It was loud and busy. This is second time that we had made reservations in advance and were given lousy seats even though there were other empty tables that sat there not occupied for more than half of our time at the restaurant. The front receptionist is rather curt and unwelcoming.

I brought two friends with me to dinner tonight. One of them did not like Asian food, and we were celebrating the birthday of the other person. They both loved the meal and we decided it will be the perfect place to celebrate more birthdays and dinners together. Thank you so much Roka Akor. Food and service were excellent!

Roka is a very unique Japanese restaurant as the food offerings are put together so wonderfully. The flavors were outstanding. We had four different rolls, the skirt steak and American Wagyu sirloin. Definitely recommend it. It was nice and quiet but a bit dimly lit (for ambience). Will definitely return.

Service was great. Dishes were well timed. The food itself was quite good. It’s expensive but good quality. The salmon was a little over cooked. Everything else was pretty good. I will go back. It’s definitely a splurge place. I had 2 glasses of wine, roughly $30, and about $60 for dinner. Not too bad overall. I was not stuffed from my dinner, but felt satisfied. Hope that gives folks an idea of what to expect.

We tried the Omakase for a birthday celebration and it was a great experience! Everything was delicious and the 2 servers explained each course and the sauces that paired with it. We went with The decadent omakase and it was a nice sampling of many different foods.

Food is absolutely excellent, and staff is consistent and does a great job. We sat in the patio, which is enclosed with heaters and it was pretty comfortable, like indoors just a little tighter.
