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.
