The vibe inside is very aesthetically pleasing with flowers on the ceiling and a dark atmosphere. I did enjoy all of the food we got, but my favorites were the rainbow roll and crab fried rice. At least for the price you get a good amount of crab on the rice. The drinks are very fun and come in fun glasses! Definitely a bit pricey, but enjoyable! read more

We dined here for brunch with another couple and had a very good meal. We sat in a booth outside because my friend was dog sitting and we brought the well behaved dog with us. They offered a dog bowl of water as we ordered our drinks. My husband and I did the bottomless Bloody Mary's which were well made with a little lemon and olive garnish. We had a variety of menu choices since they have all day happy hour if you sit outside or at the bar. They also have a weekend morning brunch menu, and a regular dinner menu. We took some time as there were so many choices. Our server was just alright as he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic as a server. Our appetizer order went in pretty quickly but the food came out in a very random order. The raw tuna sashimi was very quick and very fresh. The pot stickers and shumai were small portions and shareable if everyone shates with the table. The birria eggroll was good because the dipping sauce was good. No star items but all good and fresh. It seems like the kitchen hadn't woken up yet and we're running very slowly. We then put in our brunch order in case that food was really slow too. The restaurant started to fill up and surprisingly the service got better. I ordered from the brunch menu and was so happy I did. The Soft Shell Crab Benedict served on a bed of crab meat and wilted kale on top of a cheesy grit cake was outstanding in portion and flavors. A definite reorder for next visit. My husband and friends all ordered a fried rice bowl with different proteins. The chicken was basic, the short rib was average but the crab was really good and full of crab and Asian flavors. I think there are alot of Asian influenced restaurants on Atlantic Ave but this place really felt authentic in flavors. The decor inside was beautiful and if you check out the bar area, they have some very cool drinks and glassware to enjoy them in. The bathrooms are also pretty cool. This was a fun time and I will definitely return for happy hour next time. read more

Cool interesting spot for unique drinks with the coolest bar! I don't usually go for over the top drinks so I played it safe with a Dirty Martini and it was very well made. My friends on the other hand did order all kinds of drinks and absolutely loved them! They offer Japanese fusion food and sushi rolls. While the food doesn't stand out, it was better than I expected. Big shoutout to Ronnie at the bar! His service was top notch and elevated the experience. read more

We came in for brunch on Saturday. There's a brunch menu, lunch menu, and a Happy Hour menu so be prepared to be overwhelmed with choices. We started with some drinks; unlimited Bloodys and a Mai Tai for me. The Mai Tai was good but they waste way too much mint in my opinion. We all got appetizers. I got the birria Egg Roll which was delicious. The consomme was perfect. My hubby got the short rib Gyoza which was good but I preferred mine. My friends got a tuna tartare (no pic) and a shrimp and scallop shumai which he enjoyed. The food comes out staggered and there was a big time difference between the first delivered tuna tartare and the Gyoza which was last served. We were all finished with our starters before my hubby received his. Not a big deal as we were in no rush and our server apologized but the restaurant was practically empty so might be an issue when it's packed. For mains we got 3 different fried rice dishes and a crab Benedict which my friend raved about. My hubby loved the pork belly fried rice. I swapped the pork for chicken and it was lackluster and a little too much ginger in the rice for me. My other friend enjoyed his Crab Fried Rice. All in all it was a good meal. I'm definitely coming back for that Birria egg roll. Yummy!!! read more

Took my niece with expensive taste out to dinner here for sushi. It was our first time and I got lucky enough to arrive during happy hour. We marveled at the beautiful decor- flowers covering the ceiling, dark moody interior and velvet seats...very vibey with an almost all female staff. Prices and portions however are pretty ridiculous. The happy hour prices for rolls with only 6-8 pieces were normal prices I pay at other establishments. Maybe it's because you're on the Ave, so it's gonna be pricey, but it was a bit over the top. I did enjoy a nice cocktail there, and despite the price point the rolls were delicious. I'd give 4 stars for ambience and food quality, 3 for value for your money. read more

Yuck yuck yuck across the board. Went with a group of people no one enjoyed their sushi. The only thing I enjoyed was was the tuna crispy rice. The sushi did not taste fresh, and gave me a stomach ache afterwards. Most of our party complained of feeling ill after. My daughter even threw up 3 times after dinner. Proceed with caution. Beautiful restaurant and our waitress was cool! read more

Modern Asian place in downtown Delray. I thought the ambience was OK nice feel to it, the service was excellent our waiter was very attentive and checked often to make sure we were OK. The food was good. The sushi roll was the best thing we had, it was excellent. The crispy rice with tuna was OK I prefer a nice fresh piece of tuna on top as opposed to the tartar mix. The fried rice with crab we had was a little too spicy for me, but did have a lot of crab on it. Overall I definitely will go back and try some different things read more

New hot spot in Delray alert! Roka Hula has been opened about 6 weeks and seems to be doing really well. You can tell they focus on their service because all of the staff (hostess, servers, bartenders) are all super friendly, attentive, and helpful! We got drinks and Dim Sum and overall really liked it! I would recommend the Gyoza! No dipping sauce came with the gyozas though but there is soy sauce on the table. read more

Amazing. Again, street parking because it's on the ave but bat he oils in the restaurant. You walk in and they have fake cherry blossom trees that scale up the Ceiling and it's so pretty. They have an INSANE drink menu that serves the drinks in really cool cups. I have been told their happy hour is amazing and crazy cheap. I had the honeydew drink and it was good, pretty sweet. It was pretty crowded so I actually had tried to order the spicy marg-like drink but I guess the bartender got confused. I was between them both so not sure if I confused him but I loved my drink. I want to go back and try the others they have several even one that is savory? Which I'm unsure about but may be good. I'm intrigued lol I had the crispy rice (gf) and gluten free soy sauce is available. This was AMAZINGGGGGG i wish I could eat it every day lol it was seriously great. And after living on Oahu I'm a bit picky with my Ahi, but it was very well done. Very fresh tasting. A very cute spot and lots of fun choices too. Well worth the time to check it out! read more

This place is a vibe. Decorations are cool, menu has a good amount of options, pricing and portions are good. Staff is very profesional, classy. Lots of very cool drinks to choose from. Got the tea time and narcos drink - both delicious. The birria egg rolls are really good and sweet with some cinnamon on the outside. Had the smoky spicy tuna sushi and unagi roll. The tuna was the best. The unagi was also good but not your average. I think it had cucumber outside of the roll but I liked it. Only thing that was not my fav was the mochi, wasn't expecting it to taste like gingerbread. Will be back! read more

I got the Prawn & Lobster Curry Noodles and it had literally no flavor. What a disappointment... there was a good amount of lobster and 2-3 jumbo prawns but needed spices. I asked the table next to us what he thought bc he inspired me to order this and he felt the same. This definitely needs to be addressed because it had so much potential lol Everything else was really good hence my 4/5 stars. My husband ordered the pork belly fried rice and we ordered the Birria Egg Rolls to share which was amazing! The service was great as was the ambience and decor in the restaurant. read more

Roka Hula is relatively new and right off Atlantic Ave in prime location! We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. Our bartender was super friendly and attentive: The ambience and decor is spot on. We had two happy hour appetizers, the short rib gyoza and the birria egg rolls. Both food items were delicious! I was expecting the birria egg rolls to be greasy but they were super crispy and not greasy at all! The drinks were just okay to me. Huge craft cocktail menu but everything was just too sweet for me. The yuzu lychee martini was different but not for me and the spicy margarita lacked any spice. My husband's old fashion was good! They do offer a happy hour menu with some discounted drinks/cocktails , appetizers, sushi rolls, and nigiri. I would definitely go back to try more food! read more

We had a 7:30 reservation at Roka and were seated at 7:40 -- which was completely fine -- but from that point on, everything felt rushed beyond belief. We ordered appetizers and entrées, and our food came out within 5 minutes. It honestly felt like we were being pushed through the meal rather than invited to enjoy it. My husband and I have never felt so rushed at a restaurant. The entire experience, from sitting down to walking out, was barely an hour -- closer to 30 minutes of actual dining. Dinner, especially at a place like this, should feel like an experience, not a race. On top of that, the food itself was overly salty. I ordered the udon noodles, and all I could taste was soy sauce -- completely overpowering any other flavor. What was most disappointing is that we felt like a number, not a couple trying to enjoy a relaxing evening out. We didn't even get the chance to consider dessert because we were essentially rushing through our meal and left feeling too full and overwhelmed. A dinner out should feel enjoyable and paced properly -- typically a 1.5-2 hour experience -- not something you feel pressured to finish as quickly as possible. Roka really needs to do better with both service pacing and seasoning. read more

The food is okay and definitely overpriced for what it is. But the atmosphere and drinks are fun.

4/5 stars for not being able to make a reservation online for the weekends. We were told it would be an hour wait for 2 people, it was only 20 mins. We got a drank at the bar while we were waited to be seated. I ordered the cherry blossom, it was by far the strongest drink I've ever had in my life lol. The food came out quick and was fresh and flavorful. Will definitely return! read more

It's very rare to go to a restaurant that manages to hit all three (food, service, ambiance) on the head, but Roka Hula has gotten it right. The food was amazing, there were no complaints on anything we ordered, we got the crab fried rice, the Maine lobster roll, dumplings, egg rolls, bao buns, sushi, and some other things I'm forgetting. Not only was the food amazing but the interior was to die for, so many interesting patterns and colors that tie in so beautifully, something that truly takes talent! The service was also amazing we were attended to by Elizabeth who is the QUEEN of serving! We loved here and will have to be back for her amazing service! Congrats Roka Hula, y'all ate down! read more

Stopped for our second visit and needed to experience the "Freaky Franky" in the Frankenstein mug (a/k/a rum punch) and Dead-Lee in the Cobra mug. We are enjoying the Korean Short Rib Gyoza, which we had last visit. Our bartender Randy, was exceptional, advising on the most flavorful bites, that are affordable. There is no doubt we will be back, and bring friends. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place -- great food, chill vibes, and hands down the best bartender in town: JD. From the moment we walked in, JD made us feel like regulars. He's not just pouring drinks -- he's crafting them. Every cocktail was spot-on, and he somehow knew exactly what we needed before we even asked. On top of that, JD brings a vibe to the bar that's hard to find these days. Welcoming, funny, and totally on point with recommendations. He elevated the entire experience and honestly made our night. If you're heading here, do yourself a favor: sit at the bar, ask for JD, and let him take care of you. You won't regret it. read more

The first time I dined here, everything was fantastic- especially the freshness of the food. That great experience brought me back, but unfortunately, the second visit didn't quite measure up. Hopefully, they tighten up their quality control moving forward. On a positive note, service was excellent both times, and the staff was consistently attentive and friendly. I also really enjoy their drinks-especially the spicy margarita. I wish it was available all of the time instead of just during their happy hour. read more

The service was great and the food comes as soon as it a ready. It's nice to come here with friends to share different dishes. The food choices were definitely different. I think you have to be ready to try different things here. We weren't crazy about our Truffle Parmesan Edamame. They were really nice and took it off the bill. Thai Chili Pork Belly - They were delicious! Chinese Sticky Ribs - They were okay. It needed more flavor. Pork Soup Dumplings -They were okay... I am just not a fan of ginger. Birria Egg Rolls - They were okay ... I don't think it required Oaxaca Cheese and the beef needed more flavor and salt. The drinks were great and we loved our dessert! We got Balls of Glory! They were delicious! read more

New restaurant alert! Roka Hula just opened recently and I'm super excited!! The location is right where Opa used to be, if you're familiar with this area. If you're not... I'll just disclose that parking is quite expensive, so be prepared to either park far, or pay a premium if you're looking not to walk much, as they do have some valet parking nearby. I do hope you don't let this deter you from coming here. The food is spectacular! And I won't even talk about the artsy decor and fun feel of the place, the fabulous music, great service and overall ambiance! Top notch! Here's what we tried: Binchotan Grilled Oysters - these were savory, meaty delicious, & creative presentation, although I would have rather they get lit up vs the fire being put out Salmon Crudo - this was everything I expected and you can't go wrong with salmon crudo really. My only recommendation is a bit of lemon zest or lemon juice (thank me later) Birria Egg Rolls - OMG! winning dish! This was everything and more than I expected! The egg rolls were super cheese! The meat was smoky and tender, the consomé had great flavor! Drizzle the lime that come with it and its HEAVEN! I wanted to drink all the consomé when I finished (but that's not lady like.. so I didn't ) . On, to drinks.... Which were all super creative! The right amount of liquor and sweetness, and very well crafted! We had the cherry blossom Negroni, the mi & yu and the sleepless nights. If you know anything about drinks, you'll know that the flavors were so true to the ingredients listed, that I appreciated it greatly! I was super satisfied and just sad I didn't have room for dessert... however, that gives me the best reason to come back! And rest assured I will! Worth another visit! read more

Roka Hula - Tiki Bars Near Me - Delray Beach, Florida

Let's definitely start with the positives, of which there are several! From the moment you walk through the door the staff could not be nicer. Roka Hula has it down in terms of service with a smile. From the front of the house to bussing the table, to our server, the service was wonderful! Our Server, Lauren, was a true gem. Secondly, this restaurant is breathtakingly beautiful AND comfortable. Plenty of booth seating (always a preference of mine when with a small group) with booths large enough to accommodate shared plates. Now, for the most important part, the food itself. Delicious. Went with a friend and we split. Our order included - 1 glass of white wine 1 vodka and soda Charred Japanese Eggplant (side dish) Salmon Crudo (appetizer, 5 pieces) Shrimp & Scallop Shumai (dim sum, 4 pieces) Smoky Spicy Tuna Roll Riceless Tuna, Salmon, Hamachi Roll The rolls weren't knock-your-socks-off beautiful. To be honest, when the Spicy Tuna Roll arrived, I was disappointed. The tuna did not look appetizing at all. However, it was delicious, with just the right amount of spice (I ordered it 'non-smoky', which is an option). The riceless roll had a minimal amount of fish. IF I were to go back (we'll get to that), I'd probably pass on the rolls and stick to other shareable plates. For what they are charging ($22 - $24 per roll), there simply isn't enough fish to justify it. I'd rather stick to Yama's rolls (Pineapple Grove sushi spot). Now, I am the first person to say that price should not be a shock. It's not as if prices aren't on the menu. But when our bill came (~$140 excluding tip), I was truly surprised. The amount of food simply didn't justify the cost. Our simple drinks were likely $20/each (Roka Hula markets itself as a Tiki Bar, so there are a myriad of more exotic options). The most awkward part is that they push a Membership program, whereas you can get a rather substantial discount (I think it was up to 20% off), but at an equally substantial fee. My bad for not taking a photo so I had the details to share. This is a great spot for those looking for Instagram-worthy postings. Lots of "smoky" (literally, dried ice smoky) food and drinks that make for a fun photo op, along with the beautiful surroundings. For me, probably a one-and-done, although I'm certainly happy to have visited this venue! read more
