Roka

First trip to Roka. Loved the location, ambiance and service. We had the calamari to start and it was absolutely wonderful: fresh and flavorful. I always worry ordering calamari but this version was fantastic. For entrees, we had the Kung Pao Chicken and the Almond Sesame Chicken. Both were well above average for those dishes. Not typically a fan of this sort of fare but the flavors were complex and complementary. We augmented our meal with the Tuna Tataki which underwhelmed. The cucumber and sauce overpowered the tuna into soft oblivion. I eventually took a piece of tuna away from its vehicle and...still not much going on, honestly; I got flavor from the horseradish but still nothing from the fish. We finished with bread pudding. It was...interesting. I fully admit I'm a bread pudding snob, but I won't be ordering it again. It's almost as if Roka thought it could improve on the original by replacing bread with angel food cake? I'm sure there are folks who like it but a large part of why I like bread pudding so much is the texture of the bread when it's saturated in sauce and this dish didn't get remotely close to that. Solid dessert, not bread pudding.

Sushi was decent but not great. Cucumber and tomato salad was basically all cucumbers. Chai latte was served over ice and not hot. Wasn’t advised as an iced beverage. But, the host and waitress were very friendly, polite and professional. The atmosphere is also pretty cool. This was my first trip here in 2023.

Listen, this is the ONLY restaurant we will go to for our sushi. Moving from Houston, we were having a really hard time finding a place that could match our food experience we had in Texas. The food here is PHENOMENAL. The staff is kind, prompt, attentive and knowledgeable about the cuisine. The atmosphere is sophisticated and sultry, but the attire of most of the patrons was very casual. This was our first time at Roka so we will be back to work our way through the menu.

Some of the best food, service and atmosphere in any restaurant around! Mike made sure our dining experience was the best! Loren, our Server was incredible. THE FOOD!!!! Oh my goodness. The edamame, sesame lettuce chicken wraps, calamari, Chicken Skewers (THE BEST) and Rice Paper Salmon were so above what we have had in any restaurant in a really long time. We will definitely go back. If you're looking for a GREAT place to have a wonderful meal in a really cool, modern atmosphere, LOOK NO FURTHER! Support this local business. They have certainty earned our respect. We will be back! And we're bringing Friends!

What a amazing experience .. went in there hungry came out drunk,full and happy .. our waitress was so attentive and helped us build our dinner .. she knew the menu so well and was able to predict what we wanted and gave us great suggestions .. thank you Roka when I venture back to Tulsa I’ll be bringing all my friends and family to this wonderful local spot 💙💙💙

Yummy, unique food! Really cool vibe - they put a lot of hard work into their decorations and atmosphere. Would recommend! The chicken in the chicken fried rice was super tender and the miso soup with white fish had a crazy cool flavor! We also got the Roka sushi roll and the almond sesame chicken and were pleased with all of it!

My sister and I called all over town looking for a happy hour that included drink and appetizer specials, we opted for Roka located off Utica and 17th street in Tulsa, Ok. Our bartender and table side friend Levi R. the BEST, our second time around at Roka and we were blessed to have the best bartender. Levi checked on us throughout our dining experience to make sure we didn’t need anything. For my drink I ordered a $5 well( bourbon and ginger ale) ginger ale was substituted with a bar trick and it was delicious. For my appetizers my sis and I opted for separate kimchi fries as she wanted her kimchi on the side. We shared the fried Roka roll, potstickers and the chicken lettuce wraps. Everything was AMAZING and delicious. To go boxes and check. Will be back for another happy hour session with Levi♥️🤤

5/5 stars for our super attentive and friendly waiter, George. 5/5 for the beautiful building and bathrooms with individual sinks in each stall & some outside as well. 4/5 stars for the food. Favorite dish overall: miso soup with white fish. I could eat this for a whole meal but I got the cup. Least favorite dish overall: chicken katsu. Super dry and not a lot of flavor
