Roka Akor - Scottsdale

I really like the design of the open kitchen and I was excited my girlfriend and I were able to sit right in front of the head chef! Watching the whole team go hard during rush hour was an experience in itself. Anyways, let's good to the good stuffWagyu dumplings - 9.5/10- if I see wagyu dumplings on a menu that's an auto orderPork belly 9.5/10- really good pork belly, radishes were a nice surpriseYellowtail crudo 9/10- spicy ponzu was the star of this one Flame seared salmon maki 8/10 - love a seared salmon but didn't love the asparagus in itAmerican wagyu rib eye 9.8/10- cooked perfectly, had leftovers to make steak & eggs in the morning, can someone get me in touch with whoever made that truffle aioli? Give them a raise! Service 10/10 Shouts out to our server. I forget his name but I think he had a man bun. He was funny and very attentive

Service is attentive and helpful. Educates you on each dish in their sushi that comes out. The mocktails are delicious.Ambiance is just like a vegas high end restaurant. Edm music that encapsulates a feel good mood.Presentation is on par with a high end experience. I'd probably come back to do an omakase The prime striploin was cooked to perfection and while i prefer a truffle butter, the truffle aioli was still very good. This is a solid restaurant. I'll definitely return

This is such a cute place! Modern and romantic :)It's like American/Japanese cuisine, and they had interesting food options.Inside seating area is pretty spacious. We got to try fried eggplant, crispy tuna rice, wagyu, and salmon nigiri, they were all yummy, but eggplant and crispy tuna rice were really good. The sauce came with the eggplant was so flavorful. And the yuzu sake they have, super refreshing and citrusy, if you like something citrus, you'll love it.Like the ambience, and people were friendly but they all seemed a busy though!

It's been a while.. STILL BOMB. A little pricey, but the decor and ambiance is really great. The service is always on point. I would skip happy hour and just go straight to your wallet and pull it all out, because it is worth it for a really nice dinner.

Nice sushi restaurant in Scottsdale if you want something upscale. Tried the Chilean sea bass, brussel sprouts, broccolini, and the wagyu ribeye. Seabass was very fresh and well decorated. Ribeye was super tender. Everything was great. Service on point for this type of restaurant. Overall great place to check out.

We celebrated our anniversary here! Loved it, good quality sushi. Great place for celebrations. Ambiance is nice and the staff is friendly. The host even stepped outside to take photos for us!We loved our experience and do plan on visiting again!

Our first meal in Scottsdale. Interesting this restaurant is actually from San Francisco. But we'v never visited that one even though we'v visited SF many times. We requested a counter seating but the host girl forgot about it. So we had to ask to be moved to the counter. Minor issue but the dinner experience was good enough. Menu was usual Japanese and Asian fusion items. Not gluten friendly but they offer tamari at least! We ordered quite a few items to share. We had fresh oysters, tuna tartare crispy rice, shishito peppers, salmon sashimi, mushroom miso soup, uni sushi, toro tartare, scallop and mushroom skewers as tapas. Also steak and whole Branzino as entrees. The food was delicious and fresh in healthy portions. The cocktails were tasty and strong. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive the entire time. We liked the food and service but the ambiance was so crowded and noisy. A decent Japanese restaurant but don't think we will visit again next time. Mainly I am not a fan of overpriced Japanese food. I don't drink most of the time now so I can't eat raw when I don't drink alcohol. Still a solid dinner experience to start our Arizona trip nicely! Ps. Valet disappeared when we came out, complimentary valet so they leave as they please?!

Here again for Restaurant week and again food was first rate. Only disappointment was our waiter seemed new and our wine compliment for each course came late to the food. He really should have fixed it with dessert but got worse and worse and finished my dessert before the drink came. Even more confusing it wasn't busy when we came early?

Roka Akor's food is always a favorite for us. We've been visiting this restaurant for about 10 years now. This time we decided to try out their AZ Restaurant Week menu. I was impressed at the offering. Food came out promptly and it was delicious as usual. The only hiccup was the start of service. Last night was probably the first time it took forever for someone to stop by our table to greet us. Turns out our actual server was "putting out fires" and Jacob had to step in. Luckily our new waiter made up for the wait. Everything was great from there. Pro-tip: try to sit closest to the open kitchen. It's fun to watch them cook while you dine. We'll be back!

Roca Akor what a fabulous date night. We started off with appetizers and an old fashions at the bar and then moved on to the really long cooking-station table. Flat out ordered so many different taste, wanted to try everything but unfortunately, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. We did try around 10 different things. Everything was fabulous. Let me tell you that pork belly, which I wanted to call pork belly-scotch, it was so silky and smooth, incredible.Lee (mixologist) Marcus (the best waiter today) Ariel ( host)Armando Guillermo, thank you.Mitch (one of my favorite) Meech Mic, so many people responsible for making our first visit, not our last visit. teamwork was amazing.I WOULD RECOMMEND
