Roka Akor - Old Orchard | Japanese Dining Excellence

Having visited the Chicago downtown location many times, I recently tried the Old Orchard branch after moving to the suburbs — and the flavor is still outstanding! 😍🍽️ Roasted King Crab, Chili Lime Butter, Cucumber 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The crab meat is incredibly fresh and flavorful! 🦀💖 Mushroom Rice Hotpot 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A must-order every time! The blend of mushrooms and fragrant rice is simply amazing 🍄🍚✨ Seasonal Vegetables Tempura 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Light, crispy, and perfectly fried — never disappoints! 🥬🍤 Robata Grilled Pork Belly, Pickled Radish 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Tasty but can get a bit rich toward the end 🥓😅 Modern Nigiri Selection (5 Kinds) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Mostly great, though one piece had a chewy fish texture that wasn’t my favorite 🍣🤔 Japanese Shishito Peppers, Ponzu Sauce 🌟🌟🌟 A bit over-charred this time 🌶️🔥 Complimentary Appetizer: Cucumber with Beets Refreshingly light and naturally sweet! 🥒🫘 Overall, another wonderful Roka Akor experience — whether downtown or in the suburbs! 🏙️➡️🌳 #RokaAkor #ChicagoEats #JapaneseCuisine #SuburbanDining #OldOrchard #SushiLove #Tempura
