Review of Roka

Excellent food and service 
Recently went to Roka and decided to splash out on the tasting menu. The sushi is excellent, without a hint of the fishy taste (in the negative sense) so prevalent in regular London sushi. Presentation also receives top marks--sushi served on a block of ice?
All dishes were in fact excellent, bar the teriyaki dishes--which turned out to be more charcoal than teriyaki. This didn't disappoint me too much though, as I was never a big fan of teriyaki as a whole.
Wine list leaves a lot to be desired (by the glass, and 8 varietals only), but sports an excellent and exotic range of cocktails and Japanese drinks, as well as that Japanese favourite: scotch whiskey (despite this the couple at the table next to us attempted to order Jack Daniels and Coke!).
Dessert was also tasty and fresh, with fruit so fresh it was still tart.
Service was attentive, friendly, and very informative.
Overall the tasting menu was probably a little too expensive at £50/head, but the food was good enough that we'll be going back for 2-3 dishes next time!
