| - The inside of the restaurant is absolutely stunning. I loved the giant sushi bar in the middle of the restaurant. We sat at the sushi bar and it was really fun to watch them prepare food all night.
We started off with a couple of drinks, I got the pink mojito which I really enjoyed, it wasn't sweet which was perfect for me, my husband got a sochu which he ended up not liking very much. We ordered the butterfish tataki, kobe beef and kimchi dumplings, tempura shrimp, himachi serrano chili roll, and spicy tuna roll. They brought the butterfish out first; it was good but not as good as some of the other reviews made it out to be. The dumplings and shrimp were next, the dumplings tasted like regular dumplings you could get at any Asian restaurant and the shrimp were average as well. At this point I started getting a little nervous that we were about to spend a lot of money on a very average meal.
That all changed when they brought out the sushi. This is the best sushi I've ever had in my life. It's the best quality fish I've ever seen which made it worth every penny. We had barely made a dent in our sushi when I asked for the menu to order more! We got another himachi roll, another tuna roll, and a soft shell crab roll. The only small complaint I have about the sushi menu is that it's very limited. I wish they'd expand it a bit.
We ended our meal with a chocolate cake that was served with peanut butter ice cream peanut brittle and caramel sauce. It was very good but I could only take a couple of bites because I was stuffed. My husband didn't mind, he cleaned the plate! I think if we hadn't been at a restaurant he might have licked the bowl.
The service at Roka Akor is amazing as well. Our waiter was extremely attentive and knew every item on the menu like the back of his hand. He was also really great about my husband's food allergy. My husband is allergic to avocados. He wrote on the ticket that my husband had a food allergy and double checked before our food was served. He also offered to take the sochu off of our bill since my husband didn't like it, we declined but it was still really nice of him to offer. Our bill was $130 which isn't too bad considering how much food we got. We will definitely go back, but next time we'll skip everything else besides the sushi.
