Roka Hula

What a cool experience! You need to enter here on the seats the spin. You will understand when you go. Once you're inside this hidden bar, your best bet is to sit at the bar, as the bar staff is amazing and will not only go over the whole menu, if you tell them what you like, they will make sure the drink you get is right for you. I was amazed at this bar and the atmosphere! You will need to visit here to understand it all!

Service 5/5Ambiance 5/5Food 3/5Roka Hula is more of an experience. I've been twice so far and it was a fun time however the food can be hit or miss. Pork Belly Rice bowl was solid, it was a bit on the sweeter side. The bao buns were very good and filling. The tuna tartare is their prize item. The sushi rolls were regular and did not stand out. They changed their cocktail menu but I preferred the previous menu. The cocktails are definitely for sweeter palates even when you don't expect them to be. The venue is filled with instagram worthy photo opportunities. Definitely worth a try.

We made a reservation for my 40th birthday. There was a snafu with ordering tea time, which they were apologetic and we were really fine with it. But then, we ordered an appetizer and some food. We planned to course, enjoy and really take our time having a special night. All our food came minutes after ordering it on a tiny table. All of it.We couldn't eat it all that fast.We felt extremely rushed and it just killed the night. We ended up taking food to go and I left in tears. Truly, ruined my birthday dinner that I'd looked forward to for some time. Very, very disappointed.

I'm so delayed in sharing this review, but I absolutely loved Roka Hula and I have been there at least two more times since my first visit.The small and intimate spot is designed as a speakeasy with a super fun secret entrance. My absolute favorite here is the banana old-fashioned. That said, it is a tiki bar and I do find it worth noting that if you have an allergy to cinnamon, this is not the place for you. The last time I was there, we sat next to a couple that ordered a drink with cinnamon on it and the table side presentation of that drink and with myself and my dining partner being essentially coated in a layer of cinnamon. It immediately made me think of my friend's husband that would've been in a lot of trouble in that situation. And honestly, it made me feel a certain way about the safety of people with an allergy to cinnamon. Hopefully they just know not to go into Tiki bars? I mentioned it to the manager and I didn't feel he took it seriously which is actually the only reason I'm taking it down to a four star because of that.All of the food is small plate style and is absolutely delicious! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu and I absolutely love this place.

Piggybacking to my Voodoo Bayou review, Roka Hula is the speakeasy part. We went here for drinks after eating at Voodoo.The entry experience is cool, sitting on the thrown/chairs and you slowly spin into the speakeasy. It is a little odd as you enter as people are sitting at tables eating but ‍ enjoy the moment (you do have the option to walk around, but where's the fun in that?)The service and drinks are amazing. The drinks are super fun and themed.Again slightly pricey, so not a regular thing for me; but definitely a cool place and great service if you're looking to try something different. We have heard the food is good, less options than in Voodoo just fyi.

Stopped by for their new happy hour. The decor and vibes are amazing! We got the Lychee Martini and Mai Tai for drinks. Both drinks were made perfectly! We got the Korean Bao Bun, Salmon Nigiri, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Pork Gyoza off the happy hour. Out of all the dishes the Spicy Tuna Roll and the Pork Gyoza were the highlights! I would skip the Korean Bao bun as the short rib was dried out. Overall, a nice addition to the Sand Lake Happy Hour scene!

Super cool experience. Love the way you get into the speak easy inside the Voodoo Lounge. My shrimp rolls were tasty and that sauce is perfect spicy. Our server was so sweet. The decor was amazing. The only reason it's 4 out of 5 stars is because most of their drinks are all ice and they are not cheap but the little you get is tasty. We enjoyed the tea one (no ice lol). I recommend going here but make reservations!

Roka Hula is one of the coolest speakeasies and cocktail bars I have been to in Orlando! You enter through Voodoo Bayou, and then you can sit in two chairs that rotate on a platform and turn you into the speakeasy! Roka Hula's ambiance was a 10/10- eclectic lights covered the ceiling, cheetah print decked out the carpet and bar, and the music was great. The bartender was hilarious and did an awesome job explaining some of the drinks in the menu. The drinks are on the pricey side, but I think they were worth it. I grabbed a Frankenstein, which is a twist on the classic zombie, and yes it was set on fire. The presentation on all of the drinks were incredible, and I was super impressed that they make a lot of syrups and components of the drinks in house. This is definitely one of my new favorite tiki bars! Check out my TikTok for a full video review @cfomoneyfoproblems

Awesome new speak easy tiki spot in Dr Phillips/Orlando areaAs a huge tiki fan, I find myself often having to travel a ways north of the area to find great tiki spots, so having one here is very welcomed. Situated within Voodoo Bayou (another great restaurant/bar), you enter through a rotating wall into an area with quite a few tables and ample bar seating. The decor and lighting are very welcoming and provide for a great atmosphere to enjoy some food and drinks. The food in here is completely different from the other restaurant, with more Polynesian/Asian offerings. The pork belly rice bowl is one of my favorites, being delicious and a great portion as well. There's also a great range of cocktails that are both unique and tasty. I would like to see an expansion to their drink menu in the future though, as it features a smaller menu and I feel it could offer more.

Great experience!Whatthe whole experience! Went with a couple of friends and we tried a couple of things. For food, we did the edamame, 2 rolled (branzino, rainbow) and tuna tartare. For the edamame, for dairy free - remove parm and ask for it to be cooked without the butter (wish they had signs on their menus...). The Branzino roll was decent, a bit more on the fishy side for me but it was fresh and light. The rainbow roll was also decent, I was the menu was a little more descriptive.. I also got a couple of the cocktails cause that's what they are known for right?! I got the colada and also the freaky franky and they were both on the sweeter sides but still very tasty and has the experience to it. I also tried the Tea-Ki time which was also an experience! The tea concoction had a bunch of stuff but it was tasty tea. EnvironmentThis has a secret entrance, reservations recommended. This was VERY VERY VERY thoroughly decorated! A lot of thoughts put into this. Very themed. There quite a number of seats inside. Niceness of the staffVery nice staff to do the experiences, knowing people would want to take photos etc. Also since everything is tapas style, they took orders and brought orders as you order.DollarIT WAS EXPENSIVE. For me, this is not a regular casual outing spot, it is more of a special occasion outing for me. The range for drinks are near 20$ for the cocktails and a roll was also in the 20s.YesI would but not a frequent place
