Poor service the restaurant wasn’t even busy. They often forgot to bring things and took forever to return. We had to get up from our seats a couple time to request some service.

Food was great as usual. But we would rather visit the location in suburbs because of the service we received. Our server over charged us and disappeared.

The atmosphere is great for louder groups, which was us. The food was good and there is good selection, but drinks from the bar were not always cold. Food and drinks took a while to come out, and not everyone was served at once. Two people had to wait an additional 15-20 minutes for their food after food was delivered to four of us. It was disappointing based on the price point.

All I can say is WOW! I live out of town and I wanted a restaurant that hit all of the marks… A great ambience, energy and vibe, wonderful food, and great service. The bar is large and if it would have just been the two of us, I would have preferred to sit up there. The energy and vibe was great! Roka Akor had it all and was such a great surprise to our friends that live close but had never been. The sushi is AMAZING and was my personal favorite. There were four of us and we had four rolls along with spare ribs and salmon, it was the perfect amount for all of us to share. We will definitely be back, this is a place you don't want to miss if you want an array of different Asian flared food.

We arrived early, and by the time the bar made our first drinks, the table was ready. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. There was a problem with one of our orders but our server spent much so much time chatting with another table and never came back to see how we were doing. The meal was over before we were able to flag our server down. He it would be removed from the bill but there was no discount on the bill. Ordered coffee with dessert and dessert came but no coffee. We were not billed for the coffee. The food was wonderful. One of my party wanted to order a baked potato. The server said it is a new menu item in the last few days and it has received poor reviews such that the chef told the staff to talk people out of ordering it. Also, fyi the cheesecake is green.
