Reviews for Roka Akor - Houston in Chicago, IL
We enjoyed the food very much. The sushi was fabulous, vegetables and meat all very good. Service was very good. The only issue... was the noise it was so loud it was almost impossible to hear one another without shouting. Read more
This was my first dining experience in Chicago and one of my favorites. I learned Roka Akor is a chain afterwards, but it does... not have the chain experience. The restaurant is sleek, modern, and unique. Lisa, the hostess, was in incredibly wonderful andput me in my ideal seating location. Kathryn , my server, was phenomenal! She guided me for some of the best drinks and was onpoint the entire time. Martin, the bus boy, was always ensuring the table was cleared and water was never low. As mentionedeveryone was fantastic! I did the decadent omikase, and it was perfect. Everything served was just as great as the last andnothing could be left behind. For $145 a person you ate like a kind and left satiated with creative and dishes. All the food waslight bodied as to not leave you bloated making it the ideal eating experience. The cocktails were also amazingly creative,with varieties of rum, bourbon, vodka, and gin. I was able to have a variety of liquors without feeling pressed in mychoices. If you have a chance to come here you should, but make sure to book in advance. Read more
One of the best sushi spots in Chicago! Great ambiance (for both indoor and outdoor seating) and perfect for dates/work dinners... too. Highly recommend the rock shrimp and dumplings. All of their cocktails are spectacular! Read more
The food was phenomenal but portions were small to say the least. Tried the Chicago - Restaurant Week option. The tuna maki... sushi roll (4-piece), beef dumplings, and yellowtail sashimi were the first course and then I chose the black cod as my mainentree and the berry custard dessert. Price -$55. It was delicious! I was just hoping for slightly bigger portions. I was stillhungry at the end of the night. The service here is great as well. My son dropped a toy on the floor and one of the serverspicked it up even before I could! Overall, I would recommend this place but just know that you may have to order extra sides orappetizers to satisfy your hunger! :) Read more
Very fun and delicious place. Yes, it's on the expensive side...but still a good time and feels worth it. Great hip vibe and all... dishes I've had are fresh and delicious. If you want a good place with trendy vibes and tasty food -- you won't be disappointed!Also good for work dinners. Read more
Fantastic place with comfortable and warm atmosphere. Try the chefs tasting menu you'll have a great time, they really do a nice... job of the selection and pairings. Read more
I have to give Roka Akor 5 stars for the combination of amazing food, drinks and ambiance. The best way to describe the feel of... this place is sexy. Low lighting, soft house music and modern, comfy furniture made it the perfect spot to celebrate myboyfriend’s birthday. Would highly recommend dynamite scallop and Serrano chili rolls. Waygu and kimchi dumplings were amazingas well. Fun cocktails too! The highlight, though, was the service. Our server was attentive and friendly, and she brought usfree champagne and ice cream for the occasion! Read more
We stayed in Chicago for nearly a week hitting up all the restaurants we researched before hand. On our last night we picked... Roka Akor on a whim and it was our favorite from the entire trip! The ambiance and service was spectacular, but the food wasthe real hero here...we started with the Yellowtail sushi appetizer and the Waygu dumplings. We also had the lobster and shrimpdumplings and the Hamachi Serrano Chile Roll. All of it was spot on with a burst of various flavors. We finished with the lambchops, sweet corn and Mushroom pot. I hope you have a chance to enjoy this place soon! Read more
