Roka Akor — honest japanese in Oak Brook. Low-lit and personal, a strong date-night pick. Strong bar program alongside the food. "For appetizers, we had the wagyu dumplings, perfectly seasoned and juicy" — Alejandro Bouquet

“I've been to Roka four or five times over the last 2 years.”
I've been to Roka four or five times over the last 2 years. I tell everybody You're not going out to eat You're going out for a dining experience. The manager Kelsey and our server Matt go above and beyond every time I'm there. I actually proposed to my fiance on New Year's Eve and they were above and beyond accommodating! Yes it is a little expensive but the food is excellent, The ambience is excellent and the service is excellent. I never leave that establishment feeling unsatisfied. It is definitely my favorite "fancy upscale restaurant" of all time. I just want to thank the management and the staff for the great experiences I've had there.

“Loved everything about this restaurant.”
Loved everything about this restaurant. The non alcohol drinks were a perfect match for the spice of the food! We sat out on the "porch" where it was a bit quieter. The gratis Champagne toast was a perfect start to the meal. The Snake River sirloin was so tender! We were a party of four and all our entrees were delicious.

This restaurant is a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just to go with friends if you’re feeling something fancy. The food is delish, the service was great, and the atmosphere is also perfect! We were happy to have been able to get some chicken and beef that were halal! The calamari and sushi was also great, the scallop sushi melts in your mouth!! Our drinks were also really good, would 100% return here for the food and nice experience

Nice ambiance. Variations of sushi. Well flavored meat. I ordered the potstickers miso soup, beef skewer, salmon roll, and lobster roll. Everything was fresh. My favs were the skewer and potstickers.

We went to Roka Akor in Oakbrook, Illinois to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and honestly, everything was incredible from start to finish. The restaurant is a Japanese steakhouse, and we decided to order a little bit of everything. Every single dish was outstanding. For appetizers, we had the wagyu dumplings, perfectly seasoned and juicy. We also got the Japanese fried chicken, served with an exquisite sauce, and the pork belly, which came with a super flavorful sauce. We tried the tuna tartare with taro chips, which was one of my favorites, super fresh and delicious. We ordered two rolls, the dynamite roll and the scallop roll, both made with the freshest ingredients and amazing texture. You can really taste the quality and attention to detail in everything they serve. For dessert, we had the chef’s selection sampler, which you can order based on the number of people at your table. We got one for two people, and it was more than enough for the four of us. It came with a variety of desserts, including an incredible coconut and lime sorbet that was so refreshing. My sister also received a complimentary ice cream for her birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch. The service was outstanding. Our server Lee went above and beyond, extremely friendly and attentive, and even sang happy birthday to my sister. We were also helped by Javier, Noé, and Cristian, who were all wonderful. They spoke Spanish too, which made us feel even more comfortable and welcomed. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 experience. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all perfect. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply want to enjoy an amazing Japanese steakhouse experience, Roka Akor is absolutely worth visiting. Next time, I definitely want to try their Omakase menu, it looked incredible.
