    Very fresh produce. Great service. I didn't like they didn't have some items listed on the menu as they 'switch' their offerings as stated by the waiter. If you're not serving, don't offer.

    La comida nos pareció muy rica por la sazón y por lo original de los platillos que muchas veces no aparecían en el menú.

    Soy un comensal habitual de Rokai porque siempre habían complacido con calidad, creatividad y buen servicio. Anoche fuimos en familia y me quedé muy decepcionado de un omakase correcto sin más pero que no justificaba para nada su precio, una desatención grave por parte de los meseros, y una falta general de atención al detalle (ventanas abiertas a pesar de lluvia y frío, meseros que no pasan a recoger platos y limpiar, recogiendo cocina cerrando servicio antes de que acabáramos de comer, etc.). En fin, espero que corrijan estos graves errores. De lo contrario no justifica lo que cuesta. Una lástima.

    Creo que las entradas están deliciosas, desde las gyozas hasta las tostadas. En cuanto al ramen… depende del que pidas hay unos mejores que otros
