High quality Japanese food in a nice environment. I came for weekday lunch and got the premium set…read moremenu (48 GBP). The first course was some spinach leaves in a sweet sauce and it was actually better than expected. It then came with 3 pieces of sashimi which I could tell were very fresh and melted in my mouth. There was also a tiny container of tuna tartare. Lastly, for my choice of protein, I went with the black cod, which was a nice soft consistency and cooked well. The sauce on the side also added some nice sweet flavor to complement the fish. While the food was good, I do feel that 48 GBP is slightly on the high side considering the small portion sizes. The interior of the restaurant has some elegant and classy decor. That's probably why so many people come for business lunches here (plus the location). The staff are average friendliness, although the service speed was kind of slow. It was also weird that they for some reason couldn't find our reservation in their system but we were still able to get a table nonetheless. Overall, I think ROKA is a very choice choice if you are looking for a fancier Japanese meal than your typical sushi restaurant.

Below average taste but expensive pan Asian faire. Mostly you're paying for a vibe here because the…read morefood itself isn't good and definitely not authentic. Roka is basically a typical faux luxury establishment of the type that has been popularized over the years in areas of low culture and/or regions where a particular cusine doesn't really exist. You know the type: pictures of beautiful people and food, tasteful font for the establishment, and a quick look at the about section of the restaurant reveals it's place as part of group founded by a bunch of executives; it's not so much a restaurant as it is an exercise in corporate branding. When you visit, you'll notice that the clientel reflects that branding design as well. Everyone here looks like they're part of a vertical strategy that includes the workers at the firm itself, the final spot on a flow chart diagram where the staff themsleves are the primary customer for the product and then a line arches back to the beginning of the flow to further inform strategic planning for more pan something restaurants. The name of this group could be called Ouroboros but that might be a little on the nose. Most izakayas on Planet Earth have better food that what you'll get here and for far less money. This said, you won't get to enjoy a space filled with the finance crowd who are all tastefully lit to ensure their Instagram selfies look good enough for them to tag themselves with the establishment. Service is slow and aloof. Skip it.

Fantastic food and great location right by the offices in beautiful canary wharf…read moreGreat Indian fusion food and good portions Tried quite a few items and small plates Prawns curry , Dahi puri , lassi , seasoned calamari , cheese cake etc

Good views and lovely restaurant. Drinks were great! London is so accommodating for dietary restrictions. A plus! We had naan and chicken dishes and a veggie dish and sides and they were all fantastic. Chicken momos- do it. Fried cauliflower. Yes. Samosas. Yep. The mattar paneer was a huge hit. We were there during Ramadan, and the staff couldn't be more thoughtful and kind to the patrons who were coming in and waiting to end their fast. Classy. It was a delightful experience, and I would recommend it highly to anyone. Two happy thumbs up.

I won't go here again! Food is ok, there is not that food as much as the bowl is might you think…read more But it's ok. The restaurant is too big: too many ppl in one, all together talk very loud. There a lot of people are working here and they all rushing. They clean tables very fast and give you the feeling that you need to order, drink and eat as fast as you can... It is one big, light place here, now comy and cozy place to sit. Then the toilets: Don't go! There is dirt on the walls (one actually had poop on the wall) there is toilet-paper nowhere to be find, the flushing thing aren't working probably and after all of this things: if you washed youre hands: you can't dry them: the dryer is not working...

You know going in here that the quality probably isn't going to be good. Straight away it violates two rules of good dining: 1) Pan anything is usually pretty poor, 2) A huge menu that doesn't make any choices is probably going to suffer. We ordered one of the set menus. As far as I could tell, this place dedicated to "sticks" and "sushi" had no "tuna" or "negima" on the menu at all which is pretty weird to start but we definitely tried to find them. Instead, salmon seemed to be the fish of choice and all of the ala carte skewers were at exorbitant prices; note that a much more delicious yakitori anything in Japan costs about 100-200 yen, not 1500 yen, but ok. Instead of beloved tuna we received red pepper nigiri as part of our set menu - what? There was a chicken roll that was kind of like a grilled chicken salad in rice paper that was OK. Etc. The quality of the fish in the nigiri wasn't bad but they have no idea how to make sushi rice here so I would avoid nigiri all together and just stick to sashimi if you're going to order from the sushi side of the menu. Oh and my 350ml bottle of junmai cost 49£, which was pretty typical for the sake prices here. So yeah, if you're visiting from the States set your sights on "Suburb Mall Court Fusion" with a bill around 200 bucks and you'll have an idea of what you're in for. Avoid it.

The menu covers everything you would expect pretty well too and, given all the city folk around, not expensive The service was very good, friendly and efficient As for the food - it was acceptable, not the best I've ever had by any means but nothing untoward; a straightforward meal, tasty, spicy but not overbearingly hot and certainly plentiful...if in Canary Wharf again I would return

Excellent Asian fusion sushi - don't come here expecting only "authentic" Japanese rolls, though…read morethere are plenty on offer if that's what you're craving. The atmosphere is very low-key with the primary colour tables bringing some luncheonette vibes, but it's BYOB and the food is amazing, so who cares? For starters, the wasabi mayo prawns are excellent, as is the spicy salt & pepper soft shell crab. Their gyoza is nice too but I've never met a gyoza I didn't like. For sushi, the box sets are a good value - I've tried the Norwegian box and the sushi roll set, and they're both amazing with larger portions than you would expect. Out of the special rolls, the Dragon roll has my heart but the Norwegian roll makes a close second. If you're noticing a trend here, yes, I really love salmon and tobiko. I love this place, definitely my favorite sushi restaurant in London, and it seems to continually exist as a hidden gem that almost always has a free table whenever I drop in... knock on wood.

No idea where to go for dinner as we are starting to miss Filipino food during this holiday…read more We hopped on the underground and after a bus ride we arrived. The staff is super friendly and we chatted after we had placed our order. For starters we had the pork spring rolls with a different twist using pineapple in the sweet and sour sauce. It works well. We ordered ginger tea which was made with real ginger (if you like ginger beer then this is the drink for you). Crispy pata is a must and it was good. It was leaner which was also different in a good way. Aubergine bistec was very delicious and my wife commented that she has never tasted anything like it before (she enjoyed it very much). As a treat we met with Chef Rommel and his wife Claudine. They are both very personable. We were given an opportunity to taste chef's latest creation "Sapin Sapin" a three layer Filipino dessert; ube, langka (Jackfruit), and coconut. Five stars all the way... So when in London make sure to go here if you're in the mood for some Filipino food.
