Roka Aldwych in City of London

Excellent meal and venue. The Black Cod is a must try! ❤️ Will be going back again

Best Japanese food I have had so far. Excellent service and taste.

A fantastic Sunday brunch!I could not have hoped for anything better. The food was tasty, venue was lovely and very accommodating with dietary restrictions and most importantly our lovely waitress Vicky was an absolute star! She brought a smile to our face, was extremely accommodating and has a natural talent in customer service. London needs more professionals like her!When it comes to the food - pace yourself, there is more than plenty of it for the brunch and all of it very tasty and great quality. I was glad to see the dessert had plenty of fresh fruit - this was exactly what was needed after a hefty meal. Wine was ok, nothing to rave about but went well with the food. The Bellini is different and very nice.

Fantastic service and friendly staff. Food is amazing and innovative. Food wise, you can go for the taster menu or just pick what what 'tickles your fancy' but do share the dishes on the table in true Japanese style instead of doing one dish per person. But, to contradict what I just said, for dessert you should be selfish. They are nothing short of amazing. The soft cheese cake is so soft that it's almost like eating a cloud. It just melts away in your mouth. Being altruistic and sharing the dessert will be your loss :)If there's one piece of feedback I'd want to highlight, it would be that when the restaurant is full it gets loud, and it becomes difficult to have a normal conversation across the table without raising your voice (and thus contributing to the noise level). But I noticed that towards the end of the evening (~10:30 on a Thursday night) the restaurant was half-full and sound levels were normal. Not sure if there's anything the restaurant can do about that but I'm pretty sure that is what's holding back a Michelin recommendations and a star. That said, don't let that detract from the fantastic food and service which is top quality. It's definitely worth coming back here for more.

AMAZING! Vicky, our host, was superb.The food is fantastic value. Delicious, full of flavour and plentiful. Wow. You must come here.Free flowing alcohol aswell.

Food was lovely!They clearly had an inexperienced waiter though - poured our water over the cup and had to change our placemat. However the other waiters were a lot more sleek.The place was nicely decorated and we had a nice evening.

ROKA is one of the only posh restaurants that I revisited multiple times and walked out every time feeling satisfied. This time we came to try the Pre-Theatre menu which has great value and includes multiple small starters and the choice of black cod as the main dish. Every single dish tasted great and we really wanted to order their scallop skewer - our favourite dish in ROKA. However, we didn't end up doing so as the set menu filled us up quickly and we couldn't finish the food.The atmosphere is nice but quite relaxed which we like, sitting in front of the Robata Grill, watching the chefs preparing our food is always a nice sight to see. The service was fantastic, however, they did forget one of our dishes which we had to remind them about.

Went for the bottomless brunch, great service with lots of food - we made the mistake of ordering more starters (they're refillable) and couldn't finish our mains.Don't make the same mistake! I found a few appetizers to be average - the maki rolls were boring and shrimp was soggy, and the sashimi weren't cut great, but in the grand scale of everything this was not a big deal. The mains however, blew me away. The magical sea bream was grilled to perfection - great marinade and the beef was done to just the right amount of wellness. Tender and tasty. The service was efficient but not in your face and the they ensure your glass stays full. Fun atmosphere with everyone else getting progressively drunker and a nice setting for brunch. You will enjoy your time here at Roka!

Best brunch in London.Sensational food, atmosphere and staff.Would 100% come back, I just wish the table was 30mins longer.Don’t miss the beef fillet and cheesecake!

Very good Japanese food every time. Great service and generous bottomless service. Fried chicken, gyoza and cheesecake were the highlight for us.
