Roka Akor pairs a robata grill with a sushi counter, putting live-fire wagyu and steaks on the same menu as Japanese seafood. The River North location is one of five under the Roka Akor name, alongside restaurants in Scottsdale, San Francisco, and the Chicago suburbs of Old Orchard and Oak Brook.
Regulars point to the sushi as a highlight alongside the robata-grilled dishes, set in a room built for special occasions. Service is frequently described as knowledgeable, guiding diners through both the raw and grilled sides of the menu.
