i'd rather chew on my arm – It's amazing how the general public sometimes will let the hype and the look of a place determine their likeness or opinion of a restaurant... Food... their fish is SO mediocre if not less than, their menu's are flashy and they try to make the food sound good but unless you can make it like it sounds, then you're menu is Crap!! Service... this guy was... bad Bad BAD!! don't get me wrong... he's trying to do his job but c'mon!! seriously... lets also try to bring all of our food....and hey... how b... read more
Great Ambiance – Their atmosphere was great and it was really happening. The food was OK but kinda pricey. However, I really liked the ambiance and the crowd was pretty cool.
More Than Just Sushi – The bento box they feature at Roku is one of the best deals you will find anywhere. The marinated grilled lamb chops were out of this world! Black cod kasuzuke was addictive. All dishes are works of art at Roku. The sea eel, blue fin toro and sea urchin were particularly fresh on the sushi side. Service was surprisingly sincere and warm which was a big surprise considering how "hip" Roku is considered to be. And yes, you will probably see a star or two but please, no autographs.
Recommended but not for romance – The restuarant is actually quite lovely. Very foo-foo for just sushi. But for those people who just LOVE sushi but has a significant other that doesn't like the raw deal, they also have the good old fashioned steak and potatoes for the meat eaters. The ambience is really nice w/ mood lighting, fountains and exotic rock formations. The food was quite nice too, however I wouldn't pay that price except for maybe on the Mackeral and Ikura. The only thing that kills the romantic mood is the crazy... read more
Pristine sushi and a provocative setting add up to a don't-miss experience. – The Scene Sushi Roku is worth visiting, if only for the fabulous setting. Designer Dodd Mitchell created an exhilarating space that combines soothing materials and sleight-of-hand lighting. Spotlights bounce off dark wood, fashioning a warm and flattering aura, while back-lit palms and waterfalls add a haunting effect. In the middle of the room is a startling mini-Stonehenge, a cluster of massive boulders standing upright as rivulets of illuminated... read more
Delightful and Delicious – I was first concerned about wasting money on a high-brow restaurant where you pay too much for ambience instead of quality food. I was more than pleasantly surprised and proven wrong from the moment we stepped inside. From subdued lighting to burbling water fountains, the decor was understated and calming. The sushi (and we had a few dozen pieces) was excellent. The test of all fresh sushi for me is the uni (sea urchin roe) because it's so fragile. The sweeter the taste--the fresher the roe. I've n... read more
Ugh – Can a Japanese restaurant get any more whiter? Are they going for a fusion feel or are they just trying to be some trendy hangout serving mediocre food? Im not purist, but this place has got to find its identity. The food was expensive considering their portions were minuscule and the flavor was sub par. If youre looking for a cool hangout with little regard for food, this is the place. Otherwise, keep on looking.
A Food Critic – I was impressed by the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant although the sushi was not as fresh as I thought it would be. Sushi Roku is very trendy and a nice place to go if you are not necessarily going for the food. However, it was extremely expensive.
Great Date Place for Sushi – I wasn't on a date when I first visited this beautiful restaurant, but the ambience is so calming and romantic, I think it would be a great place to take someone. I went there for lunch one day--the hostess was polite and friendly and our server was very attentive. The items on the menu, including the lunch specials, are a bit pricey. But the sushi and the food were fresh and tasty. I didn't have a chance to order some of the more interesting items (I was on a quick lunch), but I'm definitely pla... read more
