If you're looking for a great dining experience with top-notch service, this place might still be worth considering, just don’t expect the food to match the price tag. This is our second time eating from here, while the service was exceptional — the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome — the food didn’t quite live up to the high prices.

I brought two friends with me to dinner tonight. One of them did not like Asian food, and we were celebrating the birthday of the other person. They both loved the meal and we decided it will be the perfect place to celebrate more birthdays and dinners together. Thank you so much Roka Akor. Food and service were excellent!
