Famed Japanese restaurant moves east...
International Japanese restaurant Roka’s first London opening in Charlotte Street was a huge hit, and this second London restaurant is at the Churchill Place Mall. It includes a Sochu lounge and is the first Roka to feature a Robata chef’s table. According to owner Rainer Becker, the new Roka's design is 'like a baby Zuma'. Yoshi Muranka is head chef.

"While service was stoic (we patiently listened to the ‘can I talk you through the Roka concept?’ spiel), we had few quibbles about our dishes – all were competently prepared, and outstanding in presentation." READ REVIEW

"At Roka, the food is better quality, more adventurous and authentic, and prepared from much more expensive ingredients. You get fair value for money from the entertainment experience as a whole too. Still, I’d just as soon go to [Wagamama]. READ REVIEW
