Went for bottomless brunch here on a Sunday. The food was great and you can reorder any of the dishes except the meat. This was a wonderful experience and we really enjoyed it, look forward to returning for weekend brunch again soon

Lovely experience at this branch. Attentive informative staff. We were made to feel very welcomed and our many questions about the menu was not a bother at all!We ordered the lunch time special selection. Food was delicious! However we did find the dumplings a tad salty as were the miso mushroom soup.We fell in love with the prawn tempura and pork ribs. If you fancy a non alcoholic refreshment I highly recommend ‘The ginger ninja’ a personal favourite of mine.Top tip:If you opt for the selection of sorbet,I recommend ordering a shot of vodka on the side and pour it over your sorbet in a small bowl. You won’t regret it! ;)Pricey for a quick lunch but hey, it’s ROKA

The whole experience was a really positive one. We were welcomed really nicely and were seated very quickly.The staff were really attentive and made excellent suggestions on what to order.The food was delicious (the dumplings are a must for everyone) and the cocktails were really yummy.Shout out to Christina that brought a surprise birthday dessert. That really tied up the whole evening

Went on a Sunday for the brunch in the evening. The way it works is the starters are for sharing and you can re-order any of them again as part of the brunch deal. It also includes one main dish and deserts to share at the end.There is nice variety of starters, I especially liked the prawn maki and the fried chicken was succulent and juicy. For the main I paid an extra £16 for the lamb cutlets and to be honest that was probably the least tastiest, I found it bland and dry. I tried some of my friends Black Cod and Wagyu beef which is the better option if you wanted to pay extra.We received excellent customer service there and overall had a great experience.

Absolutely amazing brunch. So much food for your money and very stunningly presented. Such a special day

Visited a few months back, not the first time and wont be the last - fantastic place for an occasion. Food was excellent as before and the revised brunch style of serving all the dishes to the table worked well as opposed to the buffet. A call out to Simone and his team for the attentive service - an exceptional call out to them as the dealt with my sons allergy specific needs fantastically. They revised the childs menu, ensured he was comfortable with the food he was served and he was provided with a feast which he really enjoyed! Photo here of the dessert serving sums it all up!

Would highly recommend!!Exceptional food, drinks, customer service and ambience. 10/10 The food was mouth watering! *chefs kiss*Prawns tempura, calamari, lamb, prawns and avocado sushi. You won’t regret!I’ll definitely return back soon. We attended last minute for my birthday meal after being failed miserably by another restaurant nearby. No mistakes were made in attending. Roka I can only thank you for saving my birthday! We had a blast!

You go to Roka when you want quality and highly tasty dishes. For 2 people Id recommend the premium tasting menu which would cost around £180 excluding drinks. Pricey but youll definitely be satisfied. Dont forget to get the black cod!!

Top class pub at Canary Wharf, very good seating space. Very well maintained toilets, hand gel etc.Some seating spaces outside too. Overall nice.

Wonderful. Perfect for a classy date night. Booking in advance is highly recommended. As for dress code, most people wear smart clothes, and many women wear heels and cocktail dresses.Once we arrived, we were welcomed by reception staff, who asked us to wait at the Roka bar until our table was ready. We didn’t have to wait long, and they gave us a table close to the open kitchen so we could see the chefs cooking. Just a warning: the chefs are apparently instructed to shout at every new customer that comes into the restaurant (just like in Japanese izakayas) so be prepared to be startled occasionally - I recommend requesting a table away from the kitchen in advance if this bothers you.We had the premium tasting menu (£90 each) and it was absolutely delicious and worth the price. We did find that two dishes were a bit of a filler, but the other dishes in the menu made up for it and justified the high price.The sake was great, really worth a try.Service was great, the waiters always noticed us even if we sat in the corner and always wiped our table after every course and provided us with clean plates.The toilets were also very clean.Would recommend!

Okonomiyaki is not on the menu. I asked the waitress if she would ask chef to make okonomiyaki. She said she would, but that chef would say no. Did she ask? I will never know. The asparagus was delicious. The sea bream was delicious. Couldve used more water to drink, but overall, very good.

We took the tasting menu, the food was alright , the sashimi was fresh however the miso soup was watery and blank, also the heavy spoon keep making the bowl falling.For the price paid we expect to not have to eat next to a dusty hole wall with some left over...Also please change your cheap takeaway chopstick to a better one.

I absolutely loved this place, I went for bottomless brunch and it was absolutely worth every penny, you get a bellini to start then choose your bottomless wine. Then you get starters, chicken, dumplings, sushi etc, the starters are also bottomless so you can reorder as many times as you want. 😉 then they ask you to choose a main from the menu. a small tip they dont have rice or any other sides on the menu, but you can order rice just by asking and they will happily give it to you. Then comes the dessert very varied and all delicious! If you get a chance to go please do! Delicious food, I left feeling stuffed and took most of my main home as I filled up on starters. Lol

Well organised, friendly and professional. The sushi was nothing special, just average in my opinion.However, the baby back ribs, the crab, black cod and prawn gyoza and beef fillet, chilli, ginger and spring onion were all superb.The chilled iceberg lettuce salad with caramelised onion dressing was crisp and sweet and something different.The semi fatty tuna sashimi was melt in your mouth stuff.Desserts were creative and very tasty, almond creme brulé and chawan mushi with strawberry and honey is also a winner.Head there and enjoy!

We had the premium tasting menu and really enjoyed it. There was a lot of food and we left feeling very full! Service was excellent too.

Wanted go take out star our because of how cold it was but it would not be fair since it’s the government requirement that before 17th May, only outdoor seating is allowed so we’ll put the star back. Also Canary Wharf is always cold anyway...This is the first restaurant we went to since the opening. We went 12th April which was the first day they opened. Everyone was nice and helpful and can tell that they are trying their best even after monthssss of now having to work and probably no practice. All in all, customer service is excellent!We had the normal tasting menu for £75 and that’s a lot of food but really enjoyed all of it! The sushis were high quality and so as the tempura, grilled meats and desserts. Roka has always been a favourite since we arrived in the UK, we also love their delivery menu and they almost became comfort food for us. We also recommend getting a bottle of yuzu sake with the food!

Food is great but service is ridiculously slow. Arrived early for our booking and were kept waiting at the door 10+ mins past our reserved time. Meanwhile, there are plenty of tables free and other families walked in and were taken to their seats - whilst we stood around waiting for the ones we reserved.Once seated my course took so long to come out that my family had all finished their food by the time it arrived. This simply is not what you’d expect from an up-market restaurant like this. When it finally came I was brought the wrong thing and tried to tell the waiter it must be someone else’s but he didn’t speak English. Nothing against him at all, but it’s Roka’s responsibility to hire staff that can communicate with diners.Also not a mask in sight amongst the staff and there’s no concern for social distancing. Again, not what you’d expect.All the food is incredible but the service standards here simply aren’t up to scratch.

Expensive... but the service is excellent, you leave with your belly full of gorgeous food and great memories of that amazing wagyu beef.I wouldnt (couldnt) do it very often, but I do plan to go again once I have a good enough excuse... which I will since anniversaries and my wifes birthday seem to happen almost quarterly! 😀

Amazing food, definitely recommend get lamb cutlets and black cod worth the price

One of the best places in Canary Wharf for an intimate setting with wonderful decor. Drinks at the bar is great for a more of a vibe. Food does come out at different times due to the number of kitchens, but on this last visit the food was just ok, with portions on the small side. The service was great, even for last seatings, with attentive wait staff who remind polite throughout. Definitely worth a visit when in this part of town especially post lockdown.

Incredible food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. Located right in the centre of Canary WharfVery helpful and understanding of my allergies, and knowledgeable about the menu items. Gluten free dishes were marked on the menu and there was only 2 dishes containing dairy.I especially enjoyed the warm Sake, the miso soup with shiitake and the Sea Bream. Flavourful, light but filling dishes unlike anything I EVER had before.When I saw the ££££ I thought this place would be way out of my budget, but we managed to have a date here with 2 starters, 2 mains and a carafe of sake for just over £60, and it was absolutely worth it. I have dined out at restaurants for a similar price in the past, and didnt feel I got half as much for my money. We bought the cheapest versions of each course but that by no means diminished the value of the food. I would go back for that sea bream anyday. I never knew fish could taste so good!

This first floor restaurant is beautifully appointed and service here is excellent. Two set lunchtime menus are on offer; the ‘signature’ at £33 per person and the ‘premium’ at £42. Both menus include five first course dishes to share (a selection of sashimi, maki rolls and gyoza) followed by one choice of main course per person. We went for the premium option and weren’t disappointed; lovely food, beautifully presented.My only disappointment was that the rooftop terrace bar wasn’t open; only available for event hire apparently. Seemed like a waste of a lovely space to me.

Excellent food and service. Mixture of spicy and less spicy food. We had set menu for 2 which was very ample quanity

We had a really enjoyable meal here to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant had great ambience and we received an excellent waiting service from Joanna. The food was delicious and reasonably priced.

Excellent experience at Roka! Aaron was our server and he was so friendly and helpful. We were with a pregnant friend and he made sure we were aware of exactly what she could and couldnt eat from the set starters that came out. Top service and would definitely recommend!

Good service and huge restaurant with classy atmosphere. I would say the food is of superb quality but taste wise, it’s run of the mill. Don’t get me wrong, it is tasty but nothing to write home about, doesn’t leave an impression. It didn’t make me feel like returning. Also, portions were tiny for the price. Otherwise, it was a great experience here and staff does try their best to serve despite it being a huge and busy restaurant.

Really good food. Restaurant decor was nice, service was great. The food wasnt too expensive, about 3/5. The sushi was nice, the dumplings and steak were amazing. Will definitely recommend. Halal options are available but you will need to pre order. Luckily for us the chicken skewers and rib eye steak were halal

Good location, nice layout. Portions are small and a little over priced. Buffet options were a fairly limited, and some hot food options were cold. Chicken wings were not cooked thoroughly - still pink/red inside. Food at buffet wasnt properly labelled so we had to ask what things were and what was inside them. We had to keep asking for wine top ups (we opted for the second option brunch which comes with bottomless wine).Dessert was really good - beautiful fruit platter.

Great food! Cant say this loudly enough. We had a truly wonderful experience here and the service? Just great!

Lovely food, attentive service

Beautiful and delicious food. Worth making a reservation, there was no space for walk ins on a weekday lunchtime, we had to come back an hour later! Could be that phenomenal value set lunch. It was our second time and we will certainly come back!

Went for the Sunday buffet (although nothing about it is like buffet food its so much better) I cant fault one dish it was all cooked fresh and was very delicious! Both kids tucked in and there was a variety for all both meat and fish! The sashimi was sublime!! Very reasonable came out there stuffed! Very nice thanks ROKA!! 😊

LOVE this place. I went on a Sunday for brunch and it was amazing. Fabulous food, great value and the wine kept coming. Will be back again soon. Thanks

Food was amazing! Great service. Lots of space for the Covid conscious.

Service very adequate and the food good but a little slow. Been there before. Would go there again. Look out for Parties!

Amazing aromatic food and customer service. Ordered avocado maki and ebi furai to avocado maki for starters and kinoko no kamameshi as main. We had kombu spritz and matcha iced tea with dessert platter for sweet dish. Our host Luana was amazing and we absolutely loved her customer service and recommendations.

Very good weekend brunch offer of unlimited starters, shared main and deserts. Would recommend opting for the wine pairings.

This meal was eaten at the beginning of this year but finally had time to write this up lately.As I have not seen my friend in decades, he suggested going to Roka for a special treat where we were allocated to sit on the corner which was good.I had no idea what to order or what was the best so my friend ordered the 15th anniversary premium tasting menu which had a bit of everything including dessert.Each course came beautifully and the server explained what each dish, however some dishes I couldnt quite catch what it was because it was quite noisy but I managed to get a photo of the tasting menu we had.Interestingly the scallops came twice but the server already left before we could tell him.Dessert ended in an indulgent way because it was a huge platter with so many items!!!It was definitely a great dinner with my friend on a rainy night.

Amazing sushi and perfect service from Martina. Thanks a lot we will come soon to eat again your amazing sushi !

Great location. Good food and great customer experience. The black cod fish was amazing 😍

Love this place! Especially the weekend Brunch, its absolutely amazing. Aside from the buffet, you get a choice of a main dish a dessert platter to share and free flowing wine. The buffet has great selection and the sushi is very good and fresh. Im usually full before the main course arrives :) Other dishes all taste great and the service and ambiance is amazing. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a brunch get together.

High-end Japanese fusion kitchen in the heart of Canary Wharf. Great selection of sushi and grilled meat dishes. Nice ambience and attentive service. Wasn’t blown away by the food though, of which I expected a bit more at this price range, however dishes are served beautifully.

First time trying this branch. Wasn’t disappointed...great food and service...a bit loud though.

So, so. I know some people like this kind of food but the few times Ive been there. Im not impressed and then end up back here to see, a couple of years later. Mass produced fast food like the rest of the clans at Canary wharf.

Brilliant place. Food was incredibly tasty, loved the decor and the staff were so helpful.Definitely will be back

For what Roka is supposed to be it comes just above average and slightly overpriced.The service is exceptional.Food was tasty but just short of expectations. And finding fish bones in the sashimi is not doing any help.

Amazing as always. Thanks for a great afternoon. Jengis Fahri

We had the tasting menu and the portions and quality of food were great. Staff made it a really lovely evening thumbs up!

Amazing food, environment and service. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I booked at the bar because it was fully booked and I finally got a table. They care about social distance and you get temperature check when you get in. Ill definitely come back.

Very nice experience, the food was good.Had very great service from Simone, see you in Istanbul!

Been to this restaurant more times than I could remember. There are many dishes that I find enjoyable, particularly the baby chicken with corn and the black cod. The Sunday Brunch is perhaps one of the nicest offers by the restaurant. In fact, I would recommend the Sunday Brunch as an occassion for a friends get-together. The only complain I have is that some of the diners there could be particularly loud and loud.

Excellent food

Love this place. Took great care of the fact I have an Nut allergy. Brilliant food and lovely settings.

Food was lovely. Although a little pricey. A little shocked that our glass of wine was £13.50 each... waitress should have told the price first.

Great ambience with amazing cuisine. Perfect services with good recommendations from them! Definitely worth going to this place and will not regret it!

Really nice staff, talked us through the menu and were lovely.

Delicious food. Amazing service. Generous with time and ensured out glasses were consistently topped up for our bottomless brunch

Absolutely amazing food. We had the tasting menu, and it was really incredible. I particularly enjoyed the sashimi plate, the eggplant, and the grilled salmon. The highlight of the night was definitely the dessert platter - delicious creme brûlée, matcha ice creams, assorted fruit and a chocolate bowl. Would definitely come back again!

Used to be great, now not so great. Some of the items that were previously included in the brunch are additional cost. Staff are pushy and rush you the whole time. Not a nice experience anymore.

Amazing evening with Landmark Private Finance. The food, drinks were just perfect.

Weekend BrunchWe went there to celebrate the wifes birthday and opted for the £69/head buffet option. This entitled us to a glass of champagne each, a premium sashimi starter and main course. We opted for the Lobster tempura and grilled Lobster mains. Food from the buffet was decent but had to wait some time for certain items to be replaced.Will going back but will probably opt for one of the less costly options. Have included pictures of the buffet dishes :)

Not the greatest Japanese food (anymore) around Canary Wharf, comparing the presentation and price. The service is OK, the food was not as good as previous years. The lunch menu (We have tried both non-vegetarian menu) was a bit over priced- the portions were small, and presentation was not into details.

Unbelievably good. The best meal I have ever had. Lovely experience.

Service was ok but food and drinks SUCKED! Would not recommend as place to visit for Japanese food. The mushroom hotpot and vegetable tempura were bland. The flavors were not great. The sushi (salmon maki, prawn maki) sucked. Even the cocktails were dull. Only thing decent at this place was the miso soup, which honestly anyone can make! Not worth a single penny, having eaten at amazing restaurants in Canary wharf and in London.

Service was great, apart from the ribs that were fantastic, food was generally ok though very overpriced.

Website looks amazing and looks like you need to book well in advance to go at the right time.

A fancy brunch with kids? Yes, please! Amazing flavours and variety every Sunday plus a soft play area.

Amazing Sushi wow! Awesome plum sake

Good ambience and quality of food, a little pricey and service can be slow sometimes.

We have been coming to Roka Canary Wharf for the last several years, and is our favorite Japanese restaurant. Food is always exceptional (best sushi in London, great robata grill, amazing desserts, beautiful and delicious cocktails). Service is always great and the atmosphere is pleasant and cosy.

Food is stunning, and the seosonal menu always a hit. Good service and a large drinks menu. Look out for their brunch events

Hugely disappointing experience all in all, considering the top prices and the location in the heart of Canary Wharf! The food was most sub-par, unimaginative, with ill-inspired combinations of ingredients and flavours, served in ancient, worn out, scratched, chipped and ugly plates and bowls (see photos). We ordered the Premium Tasting Menu which cost £90 per person (no drink included). The portions were meagre, tiny!The waiting service confused and confusing, with poor and superficial knowledge of the dishes on the menu. The sommelier also not very sharp on his knowledge of the available wines! The ice-cream scoops served as part of the dessert were uninspiredly placed on a small slab of ice, making the serving a chasing race against the slippery and small icy surface (see photo). The restaurant has no (proper) air conditioning, and as it got completely full by 8pm, the air became hot and stuffy. Also, the noise of hubbub from all tables, reflected by the surrounding wooden wall and ceiling pannels, made any normal conversation around the table impossible. No exaggeration.

Roca is one of the best Japanese cafe-bar with modern menu and great service.Rolls menu have both classical and special entries and they all taste good.Other menu items could be unusual but are definitely delicious.The desert was just great, its first time I saw ice cream served on the box with ice to last longer.And the ice cream itself was good.The music is a bit loud but it definitely makes sense since it is a bar-like place.Make sure you take the lift because it is on the second floor and you cant reach it by stairs.

Great restaurant overall and worth the price. Food taste, presentation and the staff service were really good. Will definitely be going back.

All I can say is amazing food. We had an amazing waiter who helped us choose and all I can say he was spot on

The best Japanese Restaurant I’ve went to located in a nice area! The quality of food was very high, the ambience was amazing, and staff very friendly and professional! It’s very expensive but way better than getting large quality of crappy food in other restaurants. I definitely recommend this place! Can’t wait to visit here again :) 😻😻♥️

Almond creme brulee with cherry blossom ice cream and sesame biscuit. Great dessert very light & soft the ice cream was amazing also whole combination worked really well we do recommend it!

Great restaurant! Amazing food! Good vibes and the service was neat! Totally recommended :)

They serve big dishes and for affordable pricing. very nice employees. Fantastic work.

As perfect as I remember it, the service wasnt as friendly though considering we had a 2 years with us

I came here for my birthday and it was really tasty. It is heavily priced and perhaps a little over priced for me compared to other higher ends places I’ve tried. a lovely atmosphere and great place for a special day but make sure you load up your wallet first! Would go back but was told to try the other branches.

Blonde lady managing the outdoor area clearly discriminated against my partner.After looking at other reviews, it’s a similar theme “we were being discriminated” Avoid if you want to stop people thinking they can judge someone on what they look like. My partner is a high serving solicitor yet she treated him like she stepped on something. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Plenty of nice places to go. Wish I could give no stars

Best Japanese place we have eaten!

Fantastic food and drinksA bit loud but very nice ambience

Had a lovely dinner! Lover the place, food, staff and drinks! Highly recommend for big groups and the service was really quick.

Went here for a work Christmas dinner - service was excellent, food exceptional and music loud. Crab tempura and beef tataki with daikon & truffle from the seasonal tasting menu were the standout dishes.

Came here on a Saturday evening for a meal with partner. We were casually dressed compared to others however we were seated at the robata table and had impeccable service. They had a special offer on Saturday evening where if each person spends £45+, you get a bottle of champagne and dessert free! Amazing.Food was very nice, the maki rolls were tasty but there are better places, but their specialty is their robata grill. The black cod was lovely but the shrimp tempura was even better. Succulent and juicy.Overall 5* with fantastic food and impeccable service. They topped up our champagne without asking and replaced dishes and water promptly.

Some dishes are mediocre, black cod is amazing, but the let down is the otoro. You can see from the photo that it is not fatty at all.

Good selection of food and wine, normally busy, beautiful location.

This experience has been outstanding!From the second we walked into the door, were greeted by our hostesses, and the first interaction with our waiter, Dominico, everything has been outstanding.Our waiter Dominico was extremey attentive, provided great conversation, and went above and beyond ensuring that we had the best experience possible. Not one second went by, that our glasses reached less than 1/4 full before it was filled up again.My fiance and I are people that prefer quality over quantity, but this place provides both. Between the service that Dominico has provided and the selection/quality of food and drinks, we will be coming back for brunch more often.

Great food. Visited Saturday 1st May and sat on the roof terrace. Excellent food.

Ha d a great Sunday lunch with the family. Special mention to Daniel the maitre d who was excellent throughout the afternoon.

Excellent from start to finish. Went for Saturday brunch, amazing food and plentiful drink. Three courses, faultless, was a little noisy but that’s splitting hairs as it was just busy (cus it’s good!)

Something special in this Roka is the Weekend brunch. If you want a good time with your besties or family here can be the place. But it is not worth the price if you just want some good food.

Amazing service and absolutely delicious food. Couldnt recommend more!

Food was nice, experience would of been better if all the food arrived at the same time

5 starts for the weekend brunch! Tasty food, large selection, great wine and fantastic service!

Brunch was lovely with a wide variety of starters on buffet

The ambience at Roka was lovely! We were seated at a small table in the back corner of the restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly. We ordered the nigiri selection to start, which was quite small in size. This disappointment was made up for by the miso soaked cod - absolutely delicious! The chocolate matcha pudding was also a nice take on the traditional chocolate lava cake.

ROKA is a place to go in London. I’m a sushi lover, was one of the best Japanese food I had ever tested. The atmosphere and the quality of the dishes make it a great place to go.
