  “Great food and service! Our server, Aaron, was helpful and energetic, showing his passion for what he does. The miso cod was amazing. I ordered the 12-oz ribeye medium rare, but it unfortunately came out closer to a medium well. However, it was still tender and delicious, especially with the sauce it came with.”

  “The food was VERY good!!! It is not too overpriced and fairly priced for the food you’re getting. The food is very tasty and flavorful, and the inside is beautiful. I wish I could give a 6 star though :(”

  “I’ve been all over Chicagoland’s restaurants, high and low end. When it comes to restaurants, I am a sucker for experience and ambiance as much as I am a sucker for delicious food. At Roka Akor, you get both. Dishes we got: -Spicy Edamame -Crispy Rice Tuna -Salmon Avocado Roll -Dynamite Roll -King Salmon Sashimi -6oz Wagyu Sirloin w/ Bone Marrow -Matcha Cheesecake -Seasonal Sorbet My absolute favorite was the sirloin- absolutely perfect… I always ask for rare when I get wagyu, and Roka was the first establishment to TRULY honor that request. Steak was rare, soft, and packed with natural flavor profiles that were perfectly complimented by the bone marrow. My girlfriend kept yelling at me to stop making faces, but it really was that flavorful. 10/10 experience, then and now. Definitely my first recommendation for delicious food and an upscale/nicer atmosphere.”

  “I just don’t understand why we were seated in the back room that’s was considerably warmer than the rest of the restaurant. We also noticed everyone sitting in that room was all people of color?? And the main dining room was empty except for a few tables but only white people. The steaks were good but the sushi was poorly rolled and presented messily and took longer than the steaks to come out. I will say the edamame and zucchini was really good. The oakbrook location is better than the Chicago one.”

  “My favorite restaurant in Chicago. Everytime my family is in town, everyone wants to come back. The service, atmosphere, food, and everything. After being in Chicago for over a year, this is still my #1. Favolia is the best! She makes every visit so special and I look forward to coming back to see her. Could not recommend this place more”

  “LOOOVE this place!!! First off the atmosphere is sophisticated, modern, & beautiful! It deserved my review the last time I was here with my girls in 2024! The sushi is 12/10- delicate, fresh, & perfect size pieces! The edamame was perfect ! The spicy sauce for it tasted incredible! Lets talk about the DESSERT though!!! You guys!!! You HAVE TO GET A DESSERT!!! Otherwise you’re missing out! I rarely have room for dessert when going out, but after experiencing the dessert here last time in 2024 with my girls where we all ordered something different & tried each others, every single one was MELT in your mouth amazing!!!! The chocolate lava cake is a 15/10. YOU GUYS!! It actually makes me close my eyes & say, Mmmhmmmm, when i eat it!! It’s THAT good! It’s not just a plain lava cake. It has crunchy little bits in it- very creatively made! PERFECT temperature, texture, everything!!! The cream brûlée’ was OUT of this world!! I’ve NEVER tried one THAT good!! I would come here just for the dessert!!! After talking with the Sweet server tonight, I found out they are all homemade in-house, wish i got her name because she deserves a shoutout !!! She made our Anniversary/Birthday Celebration very special!!!! Thank youuuu!!!!!”

  “The food is excellent. I tried their Korean lambshops, scallops, and Genmaicha tea. Everything tasted great. The atmosphere is lively, and not loud as so many restaurants tend to be. The decor is beautiful. I had the opportunity to watch the sushi chef at work. He's an artist. The sole reason I gave service 4 stars instead of 5, was because I had mentioned my interest in their happy hour menu, but they gave me the regular menu nonetheless. The food was so good that it did not detract me from the overall excellent rating. The bartenders are a model of efficiency. I hope management appreciates that.”

  “Roka is one of my favorite downtown restaurants! The food is excellent. The Chicken Teriyaki is always spot on, and Alea is a wonderful server! She's always very friendly and helpful with the menu options and a pleasure to speak with. Thanks to her and the great food, I continue to bring friends and family to try this place. Everyone loves it!”
