Roka (Fitzrovia)

• The place offers an extensive variety of food options on the menu which are extremely delightful
• The atmosphere here is also great and very pleasant
• The service is impeccable and the staff is kind
• They have the best fish in town
• The ingredients are really fresh and tasty
• The preparation is really a work of art
• The crowd was varied and the restaurant was full of hustle bustle with families and kids
• The mushroom hotpot was overloaded with salt and bland in taste
• Starters we ordered Tempura and Sushi which were delectable
• The desserts we ordered consisted a lot of fruits and were very refreshing
• Are actually not the best things on the menu
• My most favoured dishes are actually the cooked and grilled options
• The place is overstaffed and yet the service is not adequate
• Everything that we had tasted was overly seasoned and lacked luster
• The ambiance is decent but why bother when the food is not up to the mark
• The atmosphere is very soothing
• I should say that Roka (Fitzrovia) is not cheap at all
• The atmosphere is really rustic and earthy
• We are so pleased to have come here since the food was actually really amazing
• The service is impeccable
• To begin with the ambience is very intimate and vibrant allowing a great atmosphere to build for couple dinners
• I checked it out with some friends and the food to my happiness was incredibly fresh and yummy
• The serving staff were not very pleased by us for some reason and were making it known subtly
• It was perfectly cooked with a sweet salty flavor that was pretty unique to my experience
• Other dishes that we ordered were appealing and appetizing
• The cocktails were prepared to perfection
• The lounge quality of the place was really an advantage
• They had excellent service and the staff was very cooperative
• The major highlight of my visit to Roka (Fitzrovia) was the presentation of food
• The food was flavourful and the spices added were just perfect
• The buffet spread offered huge variety and was value for money
• The servers were attentive to the needs of the customers
• Roka (Fitzrovia) serves some of the best Japanese dishes that I've tried in my life and is the perfect spot for a Girls night out
• Both of which were brilliantly prepared and tasted delicious
• Though the portions were quite small
• Roka (Fitzrovia) is worth a visit and I'd love to visit Roka (Fitzrovia) again
• By far this is one of the best places you could probably be at to satisfy the urge of having amazing sushi
• The service is efficient and Roka (Fitzrovia) possesses a very friendly atmosphere
• I was a little disappointed with the service
• The food was excellent and was cooked to perfection
• The main course was delicious and worth the price
• The wait staff was a bit terse and indifferent
• The serving staff was also quite in a hurry and rather than making us comfortable wanted to be done with us as soon as possible which put us off
• The food here is excellent and is cooked to perfection
• The ambience is quite awesome with lovely decor and a classy feel to it
• The service was pretty quick and efficient
• Went for dinner with a friend on an extremely busy night
• My particular favourites were the spinach salad and the ribs
• My only gripe is that I need a small mortgage to pay my bill after each visit
• Definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to in London the quality of the food was perfect the service was perfect they really went the extra mile
• I had a beautiful selection of Plum sakis and the wagu beef was the best I've ever had
• All the maki rolls are incredible so I'd be sure to get many of them too
• If you want amazing food and to be treated so well in a restaurant with such a good atmosphere then roka is perfect
• I entered the restaurant and there was an amazing layout with a central open kitchen with tables and chairs surrounding it
• The central kitchen has bright lights shone it whilst the rest of the restaurant is relatively dull so that the customer's attention is drawn to the adept chefs at work
• Catching up with a good friend over some great food
• S so nice to be able to return to a restaurant knowing that you are going to get good quality food all the time
• This time served with miso ice cream
• What I love about Roka (Fitzrovia) is that there is a hidden bar downstairs which serves delicious cocktails
• I ordered the whiskey sour with a twist (chocolate bitter et al) and for my mains I ordered the spicy chirashi with salmon tuna and sea bass as well as the black cod and crab dumplings
• After a quarrel with the wifey we went down to have oriental food sushi her favourite
• She claims she knows me and is asking questions
• I am there with my wife and she wants to disrespect me
• I explained to my wife said entity is mistaken and I want management to know that their staff need to be trained and not claim they know customers because said entity thinks so
• All the tataki dishes were incredible
• 80+ per person and we were not trying at all
• We ordered a few portion of sashimi and were actually quite bad a good comparison would be those of Itsu except they charged a quarter of the price
• The sushi is also mediocre with the rice not forming properly (it falls apart when you pick it up with chopsticks)
• The hot food is tasty however especially the black cod
• Service is average as the place is heaving so don't get the attention that guests perhaps deserve for the price they pay
• I first went there with work on a work lunch
• Jasiminne and I were long overdue for one of our London restaurant reviews
• Probably the best you will find around the area if you don't get lost and end up in Akassan near by
• Possibly the best Japanese food I have ever eaten
• We had the tasting platter and there was so much delicious food which just kept coming out
• The wait staff were helpful although I did find it odd that there was not a single Japanese person amongst them
• That didn't affect the food which was outstanding
• Charlotte Street is amazing for a night out if you're in for some relatively loud music and clubby type atmosphere
• The service and food are immaculate
• You will know is my favourite restaurant in the whole wide world
• The waiter was very nice and patient
• Because my friend is vegetarian and they used fish sauce to cook one of his dishes
• The manager was really nice as well
• All dishes are well presented
• The sashimi quality is only acceptable
• Roka is extremely popular with the people around me
• The most notable dishes are the baby back ribs
• The dessert platter is absolutely divine it had plenty of fruits
• Lots of food and alcohol is definitely going to be involved
• Traze is one of biggest food lovers I know and as she was still yet to try the delights of Roka
• Everything was spectacular
• Caramel ice cream was mildly disappointing
• Small portion which was tasty but nothing wow
• Crab Rice Bowl This was meant to be the dish of the year according to the waiter but unfortunately it was mushy rice with crab pieces inside it
• Tasted off putting like baby food and considering this was the highlight of our order very disappointed
• Ordered the peanut sundae to share but was literally a bowl of chocolate with nuts inside it
• The waiter was extremely attentive and service was excellent
• Possible the only reason to go back is the service and downstairs bar
• The staff welcomes you with a nice and lovely smile
• Here you may enjoy a nice Japanese or classic cocktails with some Nihon tapas
• The main attraction is the Robata bar island
• Allows you to observe the skills of the chefs and obviously their show cooking with some Japanese shouting orders
• Absolutely everything was prepared and presented more than very well with a perfect timings of serving
• Our table was always with food on it
• We started with the aburi sake tataki with ponzu sesame out of this world dressing and very crispy sweet potato
• One of the best western twist salmon tataki I ever had
• The deep fried Nasu (eggplant) salad with sesame miso dressing and bonito flakes
• At the same time we had a crispy soft shell crab tempura in ponzu sauce with shichimi togarashi shiso
• The jewel like squid tataki with yuzu shallot dressing was even better
• The Scallops from the robata served with a wasabi and shiso cream and the tenderstem broccoli with ginger and moromi miso were delicious too
• I must say the sashimi moriawase was one of the best ever in a long time
• Usually sake and toro are fixed included
• Lobster sashimi with different dressings (depends on season) this time was Mandarin Koshu
• Sea bream and ama ebi with imperial osietra caviar
• Unfortunately the maki selection was not at the same level
• The ingredients and fusion were more than ok
• The quality of the rice was not the proper one
• My favorite was the wagyu tempura maki
• At least but not less important we enjoyed the tai no miso yaki which is a fantastic sea bream fillet with miso and red pickled onion The fish was cooked perfectly
• Falling off with ease and silky soft inside
• Let me tell you that the dessert platter was 100 times Sugoi
• It was a simply beautiful plate with assorted of exotic fruits with some real good ice creams
• A lovely soft and warm dark chocolate brownie with a surprise viscous green tea pudding fondant inside
• Vanilla and chocolate sundae with sesame poki sticks and banana tempura
• The prices are on the high side but it really worth it
• Going to Roka is always a treat
• The sushi is crispy and delicious and there are many options for people who want to push the boat out over how wild and exotic the food you want
• I usually judge q good japanese from the toros quality and it was fresh and just melts in your mouth
• The location and the design are incredible
• The design is Japanese style and the two Italian barmen are very good at inventing new cocktails
• The service was great with the waiter explaining everything about how they cook each dish
• My wife and I had had probably the best lunch we've ever had at Roka
• Especially the yellowtail sashimi with truffle dressing was to die
• My wife and I were also extremly pleased with the desert
• A very neatly served collection of tropical/exotic fruit with some sorbet to match it
• We both felt that the service and culinary experience at Roka was at at least three times better than what we had experienced some nights before
• The restaurant itself is just so beautiful
• The food would have to be the best Japanese food I have ever had
• The presentation was just breathtaking
• The place was busy on a week day and the service was quick and very friendly
• The waiter that served me was really nice and pleasant
• Expectations were high and fulfilled
• It is not cheap but for good sushi is well worth the price
• Roka (Fitzrovia) is absolutely amazing when it comes to sushis
• I absolutely loved the iced berg lettuce in caramelised onion dressing and the rock shrimp tempura with chilli mayonnaise
