Scottsdale’s über-stylish Roka Akor, a spin-off of London-based Roka, sets itself apart from the Valley’s myriad other Japanese restaurants by specializing in robatayaki, Japanese-style grilled dishes; a few are traditional, but many have a creative, contemporary spin. Of course, there’s sushi here, too, as well as other top-notch tapas-style dishes. Honey-glazed grilled duck breast, butterfish tataki with white asparagus, and kama meshi — traditional rice hot pots — are among the highlights. And surprisingly (for a Japanese place), the desserts are scrumptious. Turns out, they were created by a French pastry chef.

    By Michele Laudig | Thu, July 10, 2008

    Somebody at Roka Akor really did their homework. When I heard that this spin-off of Roka, a London-based Japanese restaurant, was coming to Scottsdale, I felt ambivalent. On one hand, the menu looked mouthwatering. But I wondered whether we reall... More >

    The food was really good. Their vegetarian sushi roll is one of the best I've ever had. Grilled tofu was amazing. Portions are small but high quality food. Be prepared to spend some $, but it is worth it. About $40 - $60 per couple without drinks.
