| - Roka Akor was simply amazing. The decor, including granite walls and unique wood everywhere; as well as how the restaurant/bar is set-up, was extremely nice to be in. The food couldn't get any better. Everything was so fresh. Since all the portions are small sized and meant to be shared, I was able to try a lot of items. The butterfish sashimi was my favorite. Although the shrimp, lobster dumplings, vegetables, black cod, spicy tuna roll, chicken and steak were also amazing. The chocolate cake for dessert had a funny color green center, but tasted delicious. The bar had lots of fun drinks on the menu and the bartenders sliced the ice from an ice block that was sitting on the bar. The service was great as far as knowledge and friendliness and given it was the first weekend they were open, I didn't even really notice that some things took a while to come out, because I really enjoyed sitting at the robata bar and watching the chefs cook as well as speak Japanese. Roka Akor is definitely a new, fresh approach to dining in Scottsdale.
