    Roka Akor is hands down one of the best happy hours and overall restaurants in the area for Japanese food lovers. Everything with tried on the menu especially the sashimi tacos were amazing. The lychee cocktail was one of my first drinks postpartum and was so good - lived up to the hype. We were pleased with bartenders recommendations and quick service, overall would definitely come again.

    Get the omakase! Aka trust the chef. If you have the time, and it's in your budget, highly recommend this option. This restaurant had been on my list to try for awhile, but was waiting for a special occasion. My husband and I came for our first anniversary dinner. Service was spectacular from our server. I am blanking on his name at time of review. He took the time to explain the menu and was super friendly. We decided to go with the omakase menu. I am trying to be more adventurous in my food. We enjoyed fish, shrimp, sushi, pork belly, steak, and dessert. I will say that I was not a fan of the bone marrow or hot pot soup. However, with all of the variety, I left full. I also recommend the blood orange margarita!

    We stopped in here for dinner on a Saturday at about 5 PM and did not realize that reservations are recommended so there were no tables available, but there was room at the bar. We went ahead and sat at the bar, ordered a drink started with a couple apps and had a wonderful evening. We ended up ordering a maki and Nigiri platter for dinner and everything was beyond delicious including the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Service was fantastic as was the ambience. Drinks were on point - we will be back for sure with friends!

    I would probably go 3.5 but I'll round up. The menu had a nice selection and the wait staff was good. Overall the meal was good not mind blowing. For the price point, likely wouldn't be back but we ordered: - New York strip 8/10, cooked past my request for medium rare but good flavor - mushrooms 9/10 surprisingly good! - corn 8/10 good but nothing to write home about - calamari 7/10 decent flavor but just not my thing - bone marrow 8/10 very good. Good price for the amount - scallop sushi ... idk how to rate this lol it was very unique. We were both like hmm i think i like it - Sea bass 4/10 this was very lackluster If I came back, I would prob try another cut of steak and and the bone marrow and mushrooms.

    Overall very happy with our visit to Roka Akor! We snagged last minute reservations for 6pm on a Saturday night and enjoyed every second of it. We were seated right away and the entire waitstaff was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. They really go the extra mile and make small talk and remember your name. We started with the butterfish tataki from the cold plates. It was a solid starter - very light and fresh with a little bit of crunch from the asparagus. Then we had the wagu beef and kimchi dumplings. These were a bit hit. After the hold appetizers these were a good heartier option full of flavor. For our mains, we split the poached lobster roll and the prime bone-in ribeye. These roll was so fresh and very pretty and the steak was a very decent portion and very tender. They get extra bonus points from me because they cut the steak into slices! Our waiter also brought us complimentary drinks as we waited for our mains to come.

    Steak and bone marrow.

    Roka Akor never disappoints! Delicious food. Great service. If you don't ask to sit at the grill, you are missing out.

    My friend brought me in for a fun lunch. She makes a weekly lunch stop and now I know why. Everything was fantastic. Her favorite server Lee took great care of us. He was personable, fun and professional. He knew the menu well and made great suggestions. The dumplings were so full of flavor. Our ramen bowls were filled with veggies, noodles and layers of spices. Our desserts were fantastic. My Uber Pot de Creme is my new favorite. The dining room is modern and spacious - the perfect stop after working up an appetite after shopping. The atmosphere, cuisine and service were all elevated and perfect. Thank you Lee!

    First, i'll start by saying that the cod was absolutely divine. We started the meal out with some miso soup, which lacked that "miso" taste that would be expected, but we appreciated the abundance of mushrooms and tofu present. The sushi was another story, and i wish that I could say that I liked it. Especially because I used to adore this restaurant. The rice was gummy, and the maki as a whole just did not live up to expectations. Chicken a little dry but at least we left well-nourished. Server was kind, and did what he could. It's just that for these prices, I'd sooner go to a bit more of a thoughtful restaurant. Much love to the staff.

    Wonderful first experience here for dinner. I made a reservation beforehand and was seated immediately. Everyone was extremely friendly and passionate about their place of work. I appreciated the waiter's recommendations and pairings. The atmosphere was a mixture of cozy and upscale. I loved the fusion between a casual sushi place and an upscale steakhouse. The drinks were phenomenal with a unique palette of flavors. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. I love the added touch of the steaks being precut to reduce the need for steak knives and cutting my own meal. The sauces were flavorful and added an incredible taste to the already delicious food. I can't wait to go back and highly recommend.

    Upscale Japanese dining at the Oakbrook Center offering steaks, seafood, and sushi. Hit this spot during the week for a nice little lunch date with the wife and thought the food was excellent. They do a prefix lunch set meal which includes a nice soup, salad, and tasty wagyu and kimchi dumplings. I ended up trying the chirashi bowl which was fresh and delicious. Service was prompt. 'Til next time, cheers!

    Visited on 2.3 during restaurant week . They had a dinner deal and you received every appetizer and one entree . The food was exceptional along with the ambiance . The setting was beautiful slightly dark in the outdoor seating area. The service did feel a little rushed being a first timer , but I appreciate the urgency with making sure the waters were topped off or needing anything by the staff .

    My sister has been raving about this place and so I had to check it out while I was in town. It did not disappoint. We sat at the bar and had their lunch special but everything was superb. The person serving us was warm friendly and really made us feel comfortable. So nice to see a fancy place have an inviting service. For my lunch special, I tried the hamachi maki and my sister had the three sashimi with crispy tuna rolls. The lunch special comes with a perfectly dressed small salad, miso soup that's refreshing and one of the best beef and kimchi fried dumplings I've ever had. The mains were a feast for the eyes. I thought my maki rolls were fine but the sashimi and crispy tuna rolls were excellent. I especially enjoyed the salmon, so melty good. I can't imagine any dish on the menu being less than stellar. The food, presentation, setting and service were all five stars. It is your special occasion dinner or your treat yo self lunch. I thought it was fantastic!

    Brielle L.

    This is one of my husband and I's favorite restaurants! We love the ambiance, the amazing service, and the incredible food! Our favorite thing to do is the Omakase meal, we've done the Signature and Decadent options and equally enjoyed both! Each dish is so perfectly crafted, and truly some of the best food we've ever had. In addition, every dessert is also good, but the Ube Pot de Creme has a special hold on me.

The atmosphere is not overly upscale, but it definitely still gives fine dining energy. The low lighting creates a more intimate vibe, making it a great place for a date night, dinner with friends, or even a relaxed evening meal. The food is consistently good, and the drinks are always on point. This time I ordered the baby back ribs with mashed potatoes, and it was my first time trying that dish there. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone good, and the mashed potatoes were a perfect pairing. My friend ordered the pork chop, butterflied and cut open, and she said it was simply amazing. Now let me get to the real reason I keep coming back. The carrot cake. I have had carrot cake from big-name bakeries and small local mom-and-pop spots, and I'm telling you right now, J.

Each ingredient in the sandwich tasted like they had been freshly prepared, and the combination of the flavors from the turkey and avocado were perfect to provide a nice taste contrast for the sandwich! It was delicious! The sandwich included chips and a chocolate chip cookie as an additional portion of each meal. The cookie was a great add on and wonderful treat with the lunch.
