    The food was delicious as always! I noted it was my birthday on the reservation and even got a birthday card. That was so sweet! Service was very good—attentive and I never had to ask for more water! Love Roka, will definitely be back!

    Our first visit to Roka Akor was a delight. The oysters I ordered as an appetizer were sizable and succulent. I followed that with an assortment of sashimi that was as visually pleasing as it was delicious. I then topped off the meal with a Crispy Spicy Tuna Roll and a Seared Salmon Roll, which tickled my tastebuds in a perfectly delightful manner. Our meal was on the pricy side, which, unfortunately, is the norm for high-quality sushi. Also, I would have preferred to have the little crock of soy sauce left with me instead of having to ask for refills (I use a lot of soy sauce). Otherwise, it was a delightful and satisfying experience enhanced by attentive service from David.

    We started with the salmon tartare and the shrimp tempura, both were delicious. I thought that the black cod was the star of the meal but my wife that it was the lamb cutlets. It was all good.
