    spicy tuna roll
    Victoria E.

    This restaurant has a great vibe and ambiance with the decor being loud and music being exactly what you would expect. My only concern is why this restaurant is always so empty when it's so good! We have eaten here a few times now and the food and drinks are consistently delicious. We have sat at the bar everytime so service is great, unsure how service is at proper table. We have had the korean short rib bao, vietnamese chicken bao, pork belly bao, hamachi roll, spicy tuna roll, and multiple of the drinks-all delicious. Especially notable are the banana snaquiri and spicy tuna roll. But, the best thing on the menu is the pork belly bao, absolutely delicious. We frequent this restaurant and will be back. We have seen other tables order a coffee and cookie dessert that looks delicious, next on our docket! Side note, happy hour is excellent.

    the place was beautiful, the soup dumplings had no soup in them, the drinks tasted bad, the doughnut holes were sour like tasted fermented, the drunken noodles were hard. the sushi was the best thing we got.

    Salmon super salty, I had ask for extra teriyaki sauce to bury it

    Great ambiance but who ever had Wagu you can't chew? The salmon was super salty and the server was pleasant but took forever every time he brought something. Sorry, but I can't recommend Roka Hula and won't go back.

    Cool interesting spot for unique drinks with the coolest bar! I don't usually go for over the top drinks so I played it safe with a Dirty Martini and it was very well made. My friends on the other hand did order all kinds of drinks and absolutely loved them! They offer Japanese fusion food and sushi rolls. While the food doesn't stand out, it was better than I expected. Big shoutout to Ronnie at the bar! His service was top notch and elevated the experience.

    Took my niece with expensive taste out to dinner here for sushi. It was our first time and I got lucky enough to arrive during happy hour. We marveled at the beautiful decor- flowers covering the ceiling, dark moody interior and velvet seats...very vibey with an almost all female staff. Prices and portions however are pretty ridiculous. The happy hour prices for rolls with only 6-8 pieces were normal prices I pay at other establishments. Maybe it's because you're on the Ave, so it's gonna be pricey, but it was a bit over the top. I did enjoy a nice cocktail there, and despite the price point the rolls were delicious. I'd give 4 stars for ambience and food quality, 3 for value for your money.

    We dined here for brunch with another couple and had a very good meal. We sat in a booth outside because my friend was dog sitting and we brought the well behaved dog with us. They offered a dog bowl of water as we ordered our drinks. My husband and I did the bottomless Bloody Mary's which were well made with a little lemon and olive garnish. We had a variety of menu choices since they have all day happy hour if you sit outside or at the bar. They also have a weekend morning brunch menu, and a regular dinner menu. We took some time as there were so many choices. Our server was just alright as he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic as a server. Our appetizer order went in pretty quickly but the food came out in a very random order. The raw tuna sashimi was very quick and very fresh. The pot stickers and shumai were small portions and shareable if everyone shates with the table. The birria eggroll was good because the dipping sauce was good. No star items but all good and fresh. It seems like the kitchen hadn't woken up yet and we're running very slowly. We then put in our brunch order in case that food was really slow too. The restaurant started to fill up and surprisingly the service got better. I ordered from the brunch menu and was so happy I did. The Soft Shell Crab Benedict served on a bed of crab meat and wilted kale on top of a cheesy grit cake was outstanding in portion and flavors. A definite reorder for next visit. My husband and friends all ordered a fried rice bowl with different proteins. The chicken was basic, the short rib was average but the crab was really good and full of crab and Asian flavors. I think there are alot of Asian influenced restaurants on Atlantic Ave but this place really felt authentic in flavors. The decor inside was beautiful and if you check out the bar area, they have some very cool drinks and glassware to enjoy them in. The bathrooms are also pretty cool. This was a fun time and I will definitely return for happy hour next time.

    The vibe inside is very aesthetically pleasing with flowers on the ceiling and a dark atmosphere. I did enjoy all of the food we got, but my favorites were the rainbow roll and crab fried rice. At least for the price you get a good amount of crab on the rice. The drinks are very fun and come in fun glasses! Definitely a bit pricey, but enjoyable!

    Mai Tai
    Martine K.

    We came in for brunch on Saturday. There's a brunch menu, lunch menu, and a Happy Hour menu so be prepared to be overwhelmed with choices. We started with some drinks; unlimited Bloodys and a Mai Tai for me. The Mai Tai was good but they waste way too much mint in my opinion. We all got appetizers. I got the birria Egg Roll which was delicious. The consomme was perfect. My hubby got the short rib Gyoza which was good but I preferred mine. My friends got a tuna tartare (no pic) and a shrimp and scallop shumai which he enjoyed. The food comes out staggered and there was a big time difference between the first delivered tuna tartare and the Gyoza which was last served. We were all finished with our starters before my hubby received his. Not a big deal as we were in no rush and our server apologized but the restaurant was practically empty so might be an issue when it's packed. For mains we got 3 different fried rice dishes and a crab Benedict which my friend raved about. My hubby loved the pork belly fried rice. I swapped the pork for chicken and it was lackluster and a little too much ginger in the rice for me. My other friend enjoyed his Crab Fried Rice. All in all it was a good meal. I'm definitely coming back for that Birria egg roll. Yummy!!!

    Beautiful ambiance, very chic and our wait staff is very friendly. My mocktail is $12 taste just like lemonade. Will not order it again tonKatsu is really really good. The sushi rolls are really good also. My friend ordered beef fried rice and she loved it.

    New hot spot in Delray alert! Roka Hula has been opened about 6 weeks and seems to be doing really well. You can tell they focus on their service because all of the staff (hostess, servers, bartenders) are all super friendly, attentive, and helpful! We got drinks and Dim Sum and overall really liked it! I would recommend the Gyoza! No dipping sauce came with the gyozas though but there is soy sauce on the table.

    We gave this place another try tonight. We were able to get in without reservations which is great. The place filled up quickly. The ambiance was a bit too loud for me and I couldn't hear the waiter or my own conversation. My favorite is still the yuzu roll.

    This is a hybrid sushi / Hawaiian / Fusion. The items are interesting, pricey and a unique experience. Certainly worth a try. Service was good and atmosphere excellent.

    Modern Asian place in downtown Delray. I thought the ambience was OK nice feel to it, the service was excellent our waiter was very attentive and checked often to make sure we were OK. The food was good. The sushi roll was the best thing we had, it was excellent. The crispy rice with tuna was OK I prefer a nice fresh piece of tuna on top as opposed to the tartar mix. The fried rice with crab we had was a little too spicy for me, but did have a lot of crab on it. Overall I definitely will go back and try some different things

    A few nights ago we had dinner there and it was very good. The next day I realized my iPhone was…read moremissing. I did an online search (Google ?) and it was located near the restaurant. I went there and despite the restaurant being VERY busy (Easter Sunday!) the staff, especially the manager whose name I don't remember- a black woman- and her staff were extremely helpful. After a young black guy staff member and I searched the trash barrels (not fun) the phone was eventually discovered in the WOMEN'S room! I'm a guy. How it got there we'll never know, but I want it known that the staff, including the manager, spent a great deal of time helping me out. Losing a cellphone is major and I got lucky with the staff members that went WAY out of their way to help a stranger.

After a while our frustration grew, so we walked back over to ask if it was finally our turn -- right as he was seating another couple. Eventually we were seated, but the service only got worse from there. Our server barely acknowledged us. We had to flag him down multiple times just to get basic things like drinks. When we finished eating, we again had to wave him over just to get the check. Even after we boxed up leftovers, no one even offered a bag to take the food with us. Despite the poor experience, we still left a tip because we believe in treating people fairly. However, this level of service is far below the bare minimum you'd expect when dining out. I almost never leave reviews anywhere, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt compelled to share it. If I were the owner, I would want to know that the staff representing the restaurant are delivering service like this. 1/5 stars. Very upset with the experience today. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and improves the level of service here.

Between watching the boats go by and all the people watching, there was never a dull moment. Walking in, it feels like you've stepped off a boat and into a laid-back waterfront spot. From the bar, you can see just about everything, including 2 Georges next door. It was a beautiful evening with a nice breeze coming off the water, which made the atmosphere even better. We started with the coconut shrimp, which was so good I completely forgot to take a picture before eating it. The shrimp were large, crispy, and packed with flavor. The mango salsa added a nice sweet and fresh touch that paired perfectly with the crunchy coconut coating. We also shared the salmon topped with crab. It came with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a creamy lemon sauce that tied everything together. The fish was cooked perfectly, and every bite was delicious. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Great food, beautiful views, and a relaxing atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu

The patio faces east so we don't have the beautiful sunset; we don't have the sun in our faces either! Katy Slowikowski is the head chef at Prime Catch. The Therien family started in the restaurant business in 1971. They also own Prime Catch, nearby. It is estimated that over 12 million customers have visited Banana Boat, and over 7,000 employees have worked here over the years. Currently there are a few 30 + year employees. This evening we listened to the Nicolas Cole Band while dining. There are gluten free, bar bite, brunch and kids menus. The dinner menu is Ala carte. I love their chowders & fresh seafood salads, this is what I usually order. On the menu are tacos, burgers, steaks, wraps along with fish & seafood choices. Every time I've been here my meal has been fresh and delicious, we've never been disappointed. Casey brought us a round of drinks, my peach sangria was refreshing & delicious. We started by sharing the lobster lettuce wraps. We each had a piece of fried breaded, lobster and slaw wrapped in lettuce, it was tasty. For our entrée we shared swordfish over rice, the swordfish was rather small. It was mostly rice. We shared the Blondie brownies stack for dessert. It was huge warm and very rich. All eight of us enjoyed our meals. We enjoyed the band and got up and danced. The older people left and a younger crowd came in at 8 o'clock. It was a nice evening out.

Tonight I went after going on the Tiki boat which leaves out of the same dock that the restaurant is located on. Both times I ordered the Spicy Ahi Tuna Tacos which were absolutely delicious. I'm not a big fan of spice and these were fine for me spice-wise (so if you're looking for a big kick, don't expect anything crazy). I chose fries as my side and they had the perfect level of crunch. The vibe of the restaurant is nice and the menu isn't overly pricey for being on the water. The one thing to note is that it was quite buggy tonight with little gnats that bit. It quickly got to the point of being overwhelming but the staff had bug spray to hand out when asked.

The big pluses are the great view and the fun picnic benches to sit on. We also love feeding the fish when we first come in. I always find the staff friendly and on their game. The drink menu is fun and they have some yummy cocktails. The menu is pretty seafood heavy but they have enough other options if you aren't a fish or shellfish person to satisfy. We had the tuna tacos which were super dry and tasteless, the po boy which was also extremely dry and lacking sauce and tasteless, Ahi tuna dinner entrée (cook cooked perfectly, but also barely any flavor) and two appetizers, which were the star. Both the calamari and the chicken wings were on point. Everything else so disappointing. With enough new restaurants in the area this unfortunately was my last time.
