About ROKA

The name ROKA carries great meaning - ROKA is a meeting place where food and drinks are shared with friends (ro) and heat, warmth and an all-embracing energy surround (ka). The principle cuisine is from the robata grill, which originates from the fishermen of the northern coastal waters off japan, who would cook the fish on the boats with different charcoals and share the bounty with one another using their oars.

ROKA charlotte street opened in 2004, ROKA canary wharf in 2009, ROKA mayfair in february 2014 and ROKA aldwych in october 2014.

Kindly note that our set brunch menu is served throughout lunchtime on Saturdays and all day on Sundays – a la carte menu is not available during this time. Menus may vary according to date, time and location, please check menus prior to booking.

It’s certainly not the cheapest place to eat but it is by far one of the best places to eat. Taste sensation.

The Lunch was pleasant but when I got the card machine (I had been talking with my client) the server asked if I would like to add service to the relevant percentage button on the machine. I added 10%. It was only when I got back to the office I realised that they had already added 14.5% for service. Really underhand, deliberate customer gouging. I'll be voting with my feet, and not returning

Took the tasting menu Very noisy place - unable to have a quiet conversation Service impersonal and still having the guts to ask for a 5% tip ON TOP OF the 14.5% already added to the bill This place is trying hard to pretend to be something high end - and miserably failing. To be avoided - unless you are looking to pay for regrets as well as overpriced food.

We had a wonderful dinner at Roka. We went for the premium tasting menu, my sister doesn’t eat beef so they kindly swapped 2 of the dishes for us. The presentation, quality of food, the volume - all incredible!! We especially loved the black cod and the dessert platter! A special thank you to Andrea for looking after us so well!

Canary Wharf is a usual favourite of mine but on this occasion, it was hugely disappointing. On a Saturday evening where the restaurant was not full but lively, I expected far more from the service. Not until we were served mains we were offered water. Our server messed up our sushi starter which then was brought out mid way through our mains which was not quite appetising for the palette. I’ve always loved the sushi at Roka but this felt rushed and really underwhelming. The sea-bream was fantastic I’ll give that. This was a birthday celebration and was not recognised as most celebrations are at any establishment. After being offered desserts no one came over again for almost 25minutes and we could not get the attention of anyone until we had to approach the staff. Was almost over charged for their error which was then rectified. This was really a saddening experience to say the least especially for a birthday.
