The food at this restaurant is truly exceptional and made up for some areas where the experience could be improved. Our steaks and seafood far exceeded our expectations in both quality and flavor, and the dessert plate is an absolute must-try—it’s the perfect way to sample all the delicious treats on the menu. While the service could use a little more attention to detail, as there were some mix-ups with our orders, the staff was friendly, and we appreciate their effort. It would also be great if the kitchen improved its ventilation to manage the smoke and fumes from the grills, especially for those seated closer to that area. Overall, the food alone is worth a visit, and we’ll certainly remember the incredible flavors and desserts when we think of this place.

We had a wonderful anniversary celebration dinner! The miso soup with mushrooms was delicious. The sushi rolls were some of the best we’ve had anywhere (dungeness crab, crispy spicy tuna) with high quality and super fresh ingredients. The crispy Brussels sprouts with mustard sauce were to die for and the Japanese fried chicken (a favorite from a prior visit) certainly didn’t disappoint. Excellent cocktails as well (Roka Old Fashioned with Toku whiskey for me, and Blood Orange Margarita for my wife). Topping it off was truly world class service - no less than 3 different staff attending to our every need, and water glasses were never empty something I find important but sadly rare even at otherwise great restaurants. Even the hostess who seated us was a cut above - courteous, efficient, informative. Highly, highly recommended!

This place is a hidden gem, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of FiDi and North Beach. Although the cost is a bit of a splurge, it's worth it for a special occasion, date night, family celebration or just dinner with friends. Happy hour is well priced, with delicious cocktails and bites, and chocolate cake on the dessert menu is beyond anything you have ever tasted. I have eaten both in the upstairs (Restaurant Week) and downstairs (Happy Hour) areas, and both have a great ambiance. The downstairs has a lounge/speakeasy vibe that would be perfect for a date.

We love a good steak. Roka akor is one of our favorite restaurants, we always come here for special events, anniversaries, birthdays. The food is A+, service is professional. The only thing that deduct from this luxury experience is the space. It was quite crowded for a Sunday night dinner. We were seated in a table located right next to the service station and in the middle of other tables. The waiter constantly bump into our chairs walking back and forth. It wasn’t their fault, the table and chairs were set too close to each other to begin with. Other than that we had a positive experience.

Been to Roka several times, where we usually end up ordering too much food and too much to drink, but always had a good time. Sat outdoors this time, and they were too short staffed to give us the usual Roka treatment, didn’t get served drinks for 30 minutes, waiter was too rushed to give us recommendations—was clear we hadn’t ordered enough food and then had to track him down to order more. Not his fault, he seemed overburdened and had others to attend to. But too expensive a place to get the short shrift. People on the inside seemed warm and having a good time :(

We took my mom to Roka Akor to dinner for her 68th birthday and had an amazing experience form the second we walked it, warmly greeted us and wished my mom a happy birthday. Sat close to the open kitchen which was a nice touch since we could see them preparing the delicious food, Oscar our server was amazing and took great care of us, he brought us all a glass of bubbly to get the celebrations going! Everything was amazing, from the cold apps to the hot apps, great bottles of wine for the table, only a bit disappointed w the cod which came highly recommended, was a touch fishy which we let Oscar know and took it off the tab, over an amazing way to celebrate my moms bday. The entire staff was amazing and very attentive, highly recommend!
