Enjoyed this Japanese Izakaya very much. Super fresh delicious seafood, authentic flavors, friendly service. A great place to hang out with friends. Their rice bowls are top-notch delicious. The sashimi set is great value for money with massive pieces of fresh fish. We also ordered a okonomiyaki sampler platter with all 4 flavors to share which was great.

I have been going here for the past ten years with my dad. The staff has always been so kind and helpful! I come here all the time during my birthday, big events, or family dinners. The food is amazing and the people are incredibly hard working. I love this place so much!!

The best okonomiyaki in town. When asked for hot water, they even gave us a thermo-bottle for easy refills. Will come again!

Nice little Japanese izakaya in downtown Sunnyvale, just off of Murphy street. Pretty big selection of Japanese favorites from sushi & sashimi to rice bowls and curry. They also have a nice selection of Japanese sake and beer. They close a bit early, so be sure to come by earlier in the evening.

The other day we managed to visit this Japanese restaurant. The service is good and quite fast, the waiters are very polite. The only thing I didn't really like was the food. There was some strange aftertaste in the dish with shells, shrimp and red fish - reminiscent of a product in which seafood is soaked for processing and preservation. After dinner, this taste remained in the mouth for some time, and this despite the abundance of soy sauce and seasonings. I can’t say that this restaurant is completely bad, but I won’t come here a second time.

Always an absolute pleasure. A huge variety of food and excellent, friendly service. We come often and it’s one of our favorite restaurants!
I visited Rokko around 5:30pm on Friday and it was a good experience. Not super busy but as time went on more people showed up. I was impressed with the food and portions of it. I had a double entree platter which consisted of California rolls and salted salmon. Everything about it was great. Although my only caveat was that the salted salmon was a bit saltier than I expected so I had to add lemon to reduce the salt. Overall, it was a great dining experience. I love the atmosphere as well as the interior design, which was well thought out and reminded me of those Japanese restaurants seen in travel videos, and on YouTube. Also, the staff was very attentive and we’re seeing constantly roaming around attending to customers.Next I come back I’ll have try to their Okonomiyaki.

The best staff ever! Great services and food quality is always reliable. Even my picky mom loves them and the dinner set#3. Gotta try their yuzu sorbet!
I have enjoyed this establishment for years but I've never been for lunch, so I decided to try the Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Special for $18.50. It was a delightful surprise. The special I chose included a piece of succulent salmon and a side of fluffy white rice, a bowl of miso soup, a chicken karaage salad and a two piece octo-ball side. The portion size was just right for my appetite. The staff is friendly and attentive. The decor is nice; nothing special, but the food more than compensates for it.Leaving with a to-go box and a satisfied palate, I can confidently say that my lunch experience here was a great addition to my years of patronage.

Can't recommend this place. The salmon skin in our roll was burnt and had lost its texture, the roll had lettuce in it, the teriyaki ribeye was gloppy, and the fried chicken was all skin and batter.

Found a HUGE egg shell in my food, I let my waitress knew and she called the manager. The manager TOOK 2 dollars off my bill and said sorry. ? ruined my appetite. And it is not the first time that I had egg shell at this restaurant. It is so disappointing and disgusting.

I’m not sure what happened to this restaurant. This restaurant used to be one of my go to Japanese restaurant but it has since changed in this past six month. Flavoring is off and rice is mushy. I couldn’t finish or even eat the sushi I ordered the last time I was there. So sad.The waiters, waitresses, and the manager were very kind and offered me alternatives. And because of them, I’d give it another try in the future.

I've been to Rokko many many times throughout the past few years and it's always been a pretty solid spot for Japanese food! My go-to is usually the 2 entree plate and I usually choose salmon shioyaki and salmon sashimi. I feel like the 2 entree plate is a super good deal because on top of the 2 entrees, you're also getting rice, salad, miso soup, chicken karaage, and a few pieces of tempura. It's super filling and the portions are pretty big. Service has always been pretty good every time I've come. Will be returning in the future!
