Customer Review Summary
ROKKO Japanese Restaurant offers a mixed dining experience. Sashimi salad is noted as fresh and well-seasoned, but main dishes like the noodles and chicken nuggets disappoint with poor quality. Some customers praise dishes like Hamachi Jalapeño Carpaccio and Deluxe Meshi for their flavors and generous portions. Service is generally good, though there are mentions of slow service during busy times and issues with overpriced dishes lacking proper presentation or quality, such as the chicken katsu curry and sashimi. The restaurant ambiance reflects a traditional Japanese aesthetic with comfortable seating. Overall, while some dishes are highly recommended, others leave diners feeling underwhelmed and questioning the value.

Sashimi salad was fresh and well seasoned, it kicked off our dinner with a high note. But sadly, the main dishes disappointed. The noodle is one star, sluggish, little beef and costs 23$. I think the real cost of the noodle is $2, real cheap. Chicken nugget is below the average of a japanese restaurant. The grilled fish and salmon over rice are regular i would say. I don’t think i will come back again.

Surprisingly delicious and high-quality! I highly recommend trying the Hamachi Jalapeño Carpaccio — it’s truly tasty. All the other dishes, except for the tuna sashimi/nigiri, are excellent as well.

Great place to get Japanese food. We managed to get a last minute reservation for 5 on a Saturday evening so that was great. I love how many options they have. They have every Japanese dish I love. I got the Deluxe Meshi which had everything I love about Japanese rice bowls: It has salmon, eel, AND fish eggs. We also got the Yakiniku Don (grilled beef rice bowl), Chicken Nanban (basically chicken Karaage with a different sauce), and Agedashi Tofu. And the food was delicious. The portions for the rice bowls were also bigger than I expected so they were very filling. Service was good. I didn’t feel like we waited too long for our food. We also came rather close to closing but they still let us order, so I appreciate that. And when the store was closing, they politely made it known to us. The inside feels like a typical Japanese restaurant with black seats and dark wood. We sat in a booth which fit all 5 of us comfortably

Nice Japanese restaurant. They have a good selection of sushi. It was crowded, and the service was slow on Friday night.

The chicken katsu curry was a bit overpriced ($18.50). Also there wasn’t much curry sauce and they don’t put any veggies in the curry. The staff were really friendly and the place was packed.

Recommend okonomiyaki and chicken cartilage, but rest of food is just so so. The salmon sashimi looks not very fresh, and salmon meshi tasty a bit too fishy. Service is good and quick.

$35 for a sashimi "deluxe"? I can barely see the slices! I got the exact same thing a couple of months ago and it was much bigger! and $22 for a burnt okonomiyaki? The place might be nice but the food leaves a lot to wish for

Food is good and this packed even during a week night. Will return.
