Not sure the food could have been better. Strip steak was phenomenal, so juicy. Wanted another.
The sushi was excellent, very fresh. Would love more big roll options but still amazing.
Want to do omakase.
Tartar was excellent quality.
Staff was extremely friendly.
Thanks for having us!
I have dined at another location and really wanted to see how it was at this location, Chicago, atmosphere wise. And celebrate a special occasion. It was very fun and worth a good date night. I did the decadent omakase. Which I say is a great splurge but there also also great meals that are also great. I would say from the seafood, sushi, and steak. It all comes to a great standard of quality, flavor, and unique taste.
Also, we were complemented when we first came in with their champagne and I would recommend it and any of their cocktails. Great balance all around between taste and aesthetics!
Overall the restaurant has a great presentation and atmosphere. The menu has a bunch of good options and tastes good. The service was kind and great presentation matched the vibes of the place. However, I think the prices were higher for the food they offer, even when it tasted good, I was expecting better flavors. The presentation is a 10/10 tho.
Those are the dumplings, salmon sashimi, tune roll
We had a great time here. 4 stars to give heads up. They added 20% tip to our bill automatically. Then again when tried to divide the bill between us, another 20% tip was suggested to our shares. I think overall a good experience. Will I get much more food with same price in a regular sushi place? Yes!!
Also I didnt like that we had to share food for the whole table with family style, not individual orders available. Not going back here most probably due to price. But the food was fresh and atmosphere was great.
I love this place a lot. Food are great. Its kinda Japanese food style and fancy and variety choices. Great wine and cocktail option. Server and other staff are great, professional and friendly. Would definitely going back again and highly recommend to try.
Always excellent food and service at this stunning restaurant. Gary, our server, was incredible! Everything we ordered (shrimp tempura roll, chicken yakitori skewers, shrimp tempura and shisito peppers and assorted sashimi) was incredible, cooked perfectly with awesome flavor. This is one of our favorite restaurants.
Had a great dinner at Roka. We tried the omakase and didn't disappoint. The sushi was fresh, the fish with charred corn was amazing! The black mussels with bread was perfect for soaking up the sauce. By the time the main course arrived we were pretty full, the steak was nicely cooked a medium rare but wasn't the most quality cut, a bit chewy but the accompanying sauce helped. The mushroom rice was prepared table side and was fun. The dessert was beautifully curated and got lots of ooos and aahhhs, a good mix of fresh cut fruits, delicious ice creams in exotic flavors, decadent chocolate and cakes. The service was a bit slow but not terrible, we had a larger group. The biggest complaint was the restaurant was extremely hot, not sure if their AC was out but they had portable coolers running which did nothing. We were all dying to get out due to the heat and sitting near the grills and kitchen. Overall the dinner was great, atmosphere was nice.
Limited sushi menu, but excellent choice for those who enjoy the best cuts. Great service overall and lots of seating. They also have a hibachi menu and a lot of focus on steaks. Comes at a price though, dinner $175pp.
Friend really wanted sushi while we were in town. Our waitress was very nice and they were all very helpful in modifying some stuff because I’m pregnant. Everything was so good!
This place was amazing 🤩 They have Japanese food that are very fancy and delicious 🫶🫶 The escolar tataki was very tasty, I liked the crunchy asparagus rolled in raw escolar and the hint of yuzu flavor!! I ordered the Yuzu miso marinated cod and it was so good too 😭 My family ordered the ube dessert as well and it was not too sweet but very rich which was very nice 👍 Definitely gonna come back if I get a chance ✨✨
