Roku Japanese Restaurant Sheffield

“This place is where creativity meets authenticity. Their food not only just tastes great and just reminds me of what I had in Japan, the best part is their special menu. You can have something that tastes authentic Japanese but not necessarily can find in other places. On top of that their service is always great, staff are very friendly and with good vibes.”

“Came for a birthday meal, it was a special occasion for us and our first time. Was really glad to manage to try the otoro given it was the last portion and really grateful to have the unagi as a nigiri. Food was outstanding and really well done. Definitely felt like the price was reflected in the quality and the end product. Feedback would be more around service and customer experience. The table next to us were told they had 20 minutes left because the table was needed, essentially. We didn't think they were there much earlier than us so we weren't sure if there was a time limit for us too. We had just ordered another drink and one of our dishes hadn't been with us for long. When a server cleared a plate, we enquired if there was a time limit and, if so, how much time we had left. She checked, came back, and said we had 9 minutes. It was a bit shocking and I was then trying to rush my food and down our drink which isn't exactly pleasant. I think it would be better if you're informed of there being a time limit before you're seated and if the food didn't come so intermittently. We wanted to have a hot tea and some dessert but there wasn't time to do this. Overall, a wonderful new (to us) restaurant and would come again but think a little more thought needs to be given to customer experience from start to end and how things are communicated. I know the gentleman told he had 20 minutes was displeased to be given that warning and not told at the start so I don't imagine we're alone in this view. Would recommend the peach jelly shot saké, too!”

“What a wonderful meal! We booked last minute and got a couple of seats at the kitchen bar. I'm so glad we did because we got to chat with the lovely chef (I should have asked his name!). The cod roe tenaki were the stars of the show for us, so tasty! So fresh! And the rainbow rolls, absolutely delicious! I was so pleasantly surprised by dessert, you have to try this place. It's fabulous!!”

“The environment was very comfortable and cozy, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious — everything we ordered was well-prepared and full of flavor. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“The food was beautifully prepared, it was one of the best sashimi and fish I have ever tasted and this was coming from a person who love sushi and always eat sushi whenever I have the chance to. The service was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere made me feel like I am in Japan. The experience was indescribable from words. Overall, I would 100% come back to this restaurant when I go to Sheffield.”
