| - I finally tried Roka Akor! It's been on my list of places but has somehow eluded me for years and years. My boyfriend and I went here for a date night and it was absolutely perfect! I love the ambiance and even though the restaurant is large, it feels intimate and like your own private dining experience, even though we were seated toward the middle of the restaurant. Our waiter was top-notch, attentive, informative and friendly, but not invasive.
The fish was so fresh. We ordered the Chef's selection of sashimi (3 pieces), I absolutely loved the sashimi, it's definitely the best I have found in Phoenix! We also tried the Hamachi Serrano Chili Roll (thanks to others Yelp advice) - it was so good, definitely put that on your order. A little kick, but not too much heat. The spicy tuna roll was phenomenal (I judge sushi restaurants by their spicy tuna rolls! haha). I think we tried scallops and a vegetable too - everything was so good.
The presentation of the meal was beautifully done as well, it just added so much to an already enjoyable experience. The food was also fresh and light and portions were the perfect size. We walked out feeling satiated but not overstuffed, and we still had the chance to try a wide variety of foods.
Hats off to the chef and staff at Roka Akor! Thanks for being such a fabulous place!! Can't wait to return!
