Roka Akor - San Francisco

The omakase tasting menu is really great. Highlight for the mushroom risotto that comes in one of the courses. The place is quite expensive, but it's a nice experience for a nice occasion.

Great ambiance, great drinks and spectacular food. Every dish is rich in flavor leaving me eager to try more. They have 2 separate dining areas, upper level being bright and perfect for families with the lower level having their bar with dim lighting and plenty of seating; if you are interested in their Happy Hour then you must dine downstairs as it is not applicable to the upstairs dining room. Depending on when you go, there can be long wait times but overall food still seemed to come out fairly quickly after ordering. Of my times of dining, I do prefer getting multiple small dishes and sharing to really take advantage and enjoy more of the menu. Personal favorites of mine will be any Lychee cocktail of theirs, the dessert platter to endulge in a variety of sweets and their 6oz Wagyu Beef with Bone Marrow. My boyfriend and I will now make any excuse to come as it has climbed the list of one of our favorite spots in the city. Parking in the area is very limited, alot extra time for it.

Outstanding service and amazing modern robatayaki style japanese food. shouts out caesar on the grill - your charcoal grilled presentation was amazing and so tasty ! nate — sushi was amazing - fish temperature was on point, the shari was delectable tanner - thank you for the hospitality, kindness and laughters and lastly Jeff — our server , you were truly on point the whole night from beginning till end.

Absolutely an amazing experience. Andrew was our server and he was great. His knowledge and helpfulness was great and made our night that much better . A5 Wagyu , uni and uni on bluefin as well as spotted prawns with uni and caviar. Bone marrow and all. Absolutely an amazing experience. Would recommend it to anyone . I’ve never bought a Japanese A5 steak before . I finally did it and it melted in my mouth . Worth it especially as Christmas gift to myself .

Pros: the food was well prepared and promptly delivered. We sat in the downstairs area that was giving speakeasy vibes and I really enjoyed it. If you are sensitive to sound though, you may not like it during prime time because when it fills up, it is very loud in there. I didn’t mind it, but I know some people like a more peaceful surrounding in which case the upstairs would’ve probably been better. As you can see from the photos, we had a good variety of food and I particularly like my dessert to come out with my supper and they delivered on that request properly. The coffee machine was broken, which was a disappointment so I ended up having green tea with my dessert, but was still enjoyable. The crispy Brussels were perfect, and the dessert was the perfect amount of rich and flavorful. I do believe the dessert was a bit overpriced, but it was a work dinner that a client paid for so I can’t complain too much. Cons: nothing significant. Our server was great and even got us a complementary hot plate to try. We only got delayed slightly with my tea, but it didn’t ruin the experience.
