“Best Sushi 🍣 I ever had in my life hands down.“

“Our party of four had their lunch specials for $15 each. I loved my bento box with salmon teriyaki, spicy tuna roll, edamame, salad and miso soup. (It also came with rice which I didn't eat.) The spicy tuna roll was really exceptional but all the food was good. There's a decent variety of what you can choose to put in your bento box. Service was attentive. Place was crowded when we got there at 11:30 but we got seats right away. The only difficulty was finding parking. We had to walk pretty far in the 115° weather!“

“Roka Akor is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. The ambiance sets the tone for an incredible dining experience, and the service is truly exceptional. We did the omakase menu, which was amazing from start to finish — beautifully curated and perfectly paced. Our server was incredibly gracious and attentive, and did an excellent job walking us through each course and elevating the entire experience. Service standards here are truly top-notch. Highly recommend!“

“Fabulous welcome, sushi, sake and service! First visit but we will definitely be back! We had the Gyoza, Salmon Carpaccio, the OMG roll and the Sex and the City Roll. All were delicious. While we were waiting we were treated to a taste of the chefs special. Really good!“

“My boyfriend and I came in tonight and the host was so sweet and complimented my bag and Winne was so helpful when picking out our sushi. The service from start to finish as well as the food was 10/10. I am a salmon sashimi snob and this incredible. We love this new spot we found! Thank you guys!“

“فرع اربد رحته مرتين ما في بينهم وقت طويل من كثرة زكاوة الأكل رغم اني مش عارفة ايش طلبت بالضبط بس كان تعامل الكادر جدا راقي ولطيف ، تجربة حتتكرر كل فترة وفترة أن شاء الله ، حبيته جدا 🥰“

“Everything we ate was incredible! Was very impressed with having so many options for Gluten Free and Dairy Free dietary needs, and the staff was very well informed and able to accommodate allergies. On top of that, whenever dishes were placed, we especially appreciated the explanation of what each dish encompassed, and, if modifications were made (ex. 'gluten-free tamari sauce) and the details of what went into each dish. Their happy hour also offers great value and an excellent time to try many menu items. Will definitely revisit!“

“Really nice job. We did the chicken & steak with noodles and rice. Really lovely meat. Thank you Via Lida Samurai Sams!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at AJ's Sushi Bar, a small new business that is truly underrated. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warmest of welcomes by the friendly staff. The service was exceptional - I have to say it was the best I've experienced in the entire century!Despite being a small business, the quality of their sushi was outstanding. Every dish was expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. I also appreciated the creative combinations of flavors in some of their signature rolls.AJ's is definitely worth a visit. Don't let the size of the restaurant fool you - they truly deliver on quality and service. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings.“

One of our favorite dishes is the coconut shrimp, but you can pick anything on the menu and won't be disappointed. The place itself is clean, modern, and comfortable. Highly recommend it.“

“Our waitress Lainey was phenomenal. She was friendly. She was energetic. She was professional and for once I think we've seen the right waitress that loves her job and people and after that don't get me started on the food and the prices. We celebrated a birthday in our party and everyone in the place joined in and singing happy birthday just wonderful.“
