Possibly the best restaurant in Scottsdale - if not all of Arizona. I don't even know where to begin. I just love this place.
I came here for a quick lunch and ended up having a multi-course dining experience full of decadent food, eclectic drinks and wonderful service. I think I even got a little drunk. It was 1 PM, so that's always nice. Basically I ate and ate and ate and ate and ate and I can't wait to eat here again.
Some highlights:
Great lunch tasting menu - also love the a la carte menu
Love that there are three kitchens. You can get fresh sushi, salads or yummy hot dishes
REAL green tea! Green tea is my favorite drink and I can't stand when inauthentic flavoring is used. Roka uses actual green tea. Yay!
The most delicious black cod EVER
The most delicious butterfish EVER
The most delicious asparagus EVER!
Lobster dumplings
An amazingly HUGE and tasty Prawn dinner
Great sushi - fresh, delicious
A great drink menu including an array of soju drinks
Interesting mix of non-alcoholic drinks (apple mojito with no booze)
They carry my favorite beer. THANK YOU!
Impeccable service
Groovy looking clean bathrooms
Beautiful restaurant - love the atmosphere, dcor...etc
***BONUS - I think the table next to us didn't like the restaurant because the menu was too "different." I hate that. If you want crappy food...go to Applebees A-holes! I'll keep Roka Akor to myself.
