Japanese steakhouse

It was my first time in this kind of restaurant and i could say that it was a really nice experience with all this live cooking. When the chefs do all these tricks, it's so good. The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly. Definitely, I'll go again to try more different flavours, and I highly recommend this restaurant

Came on a date night and wanted to impress the Mrs and this place did not let me down. Great atmosphere great staff. The food was out of this world I had the Surf and Turf and Mrs loved her Tune Steak and those small lime flavoured pearls were incredible. Definitely coming again.

We went as a group of 4 for the han setto brunch to celebrate my niece’s birthday. The food was well presented and sufficient in quantity. The first course were served, sharing style and comprised a varied selection of cooked food, greens (salad and edamame) and sushi and sashimi. The maki rolls were tiny and the sashimi is quite basic (salmon, tuna and prawn) but the gyoza was delicious.We were able to select our own main - we had the sea bream, ribs and chicken; decent portion size. The dessert selection was lovely and well presented.The only minus was the service levels. While it did get busier as the afternoon progressed, we had to keep asking for our drinks to be topped up. There was a soy sauce spill and the staff didn’t bother cleaning that up until I had to draw their attention to do so.The 14 percent service charge was a bit excessive considering the service was lacking. Staff weren’t very friendly or welcoming and barely smiled or acknowledged our presence once the food had been served. Usually fresh plates are offered as a minimum, between courses but this was not done despite it being fairly obvious.The bathrooms were also not particular maintained. Tissue paper on the floor by the sink gave off the impression that no one had checked the bathroom for a while.I’d go back again because I like Roka and the brunch is a nice experience but the service will hopefully improve.

Amazing. Staff were great. Everyone was friendly. Atmosphere was great. GO ITS FANTASTIC!

We’re regulars at Roka but we usually go to the Charlotte Street one, came to Roka Aldwych for the weekend brunch and from start to finish it was exceptional. The food was delicious, the quantity was more than enough for 2 people. The service was great, very attentive, friendly staff and the restaurant itself was very spacious unlike the other Roka branches. We will definitely be coming here again.

One of the best places I’ve ever been, you can book for your special celebration like birthday, I did and I was amazing. Lots of fun you can do as well

My 1st visit to a sushi bar and I loved it. We had the lunch buffet and could hardly walk by the time we left lol. The food was amazing and the service was excellent too

Food was really surprisingly amazing, steak was cooked professionally and so is the side dishes, thanks to the chef! Staffs are very friendly and polite and the ambiance is a plus.I will be back again in this restaurant and recommend it to my friends and colleagues.

Have been here twice now. Both times it is to attend other people's birthday celebrations. The lunch time visit was lacklustre as hardly anyone was there and so it lacked atmosphere. The set menu was £18. The starters turn up so quickly you wonder how long the food has been sitting there. The chef then cooks the other carefully measured portions in front of you. Entertainment is watching people try to toss an egg into a chef hat.We visited again last week in the evening. It was fully booked and so there was more atmosphere. However it is so expensive. Again the starters arrived so quickly. Trying to get the chicken off the wooden skewers is hard and because the skewers are burnt, you end up eating half of them. The scallop shell has slivers of fish in it with a mayonnaise type sauce. There are 3 king prawns each. Small amount of chicken teriyaki and steak and a bowl of rice and bean sprouts. This wouldn't be too bad if you had the evening to sit and enjoy it but it is all done and dusted in 1 hour. They hover around to get you out and to be honest you might as well leave as there's nothing else doing. The entertainment is exactly the same and it's all a bit corny. It's very hard to be negative when someone else loves it but I think it's appalling to pay £35 to virtually have food shoved down your throat. It's either that or eat it stone cold with them asking every 2 minutes if you're finished.It was also very cold sitting by the door on the first table on the right.Give it a miss!

Excellent food, service and entertainment.
