Review of Roka

Roll with it 
Head Chef Nick Watt is charm personified , this in itself is not a reason to go to Roka , the amazing sushi, sashimi and Robata grill food is. Decor-wise, think scrubbed wood, crisp napkins, nice glasswear and a huge oak bench surrounding the prep area, where you can see the sushi chefs' years of skills being put into practise. Traditional types of rolls have been jazzed up with Western ingredients, and you get the feeling that Watt's Kiwi pedigree is a strong influence. Try the sparklingly fresh sashimi, soft-shell crab roll or the gunkan maki-zushi roll with Wagyu beef, caviar, fresh ginger and spring onion. Life-changing stuff.
