What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Roku offers an exceptional and authentic sushi experience, with many praising the incredible freshness and expert preparation of the dishes. Diners often highlight the unique tasting menu curated by chefs. While the price point is considered high, most agree the quality justifies the cost. Some minor critiques include limited alcohol selection and a lack of dessert options.
"A combination of great food, excellant service and great atmosphere.
The owner and the chief was really nice and provided us with an additional free dish at the end because we wanted to taste more dishes."

"Expensive, but a one of a kind sushi experience that I can safely say is the best I've ever had. The only option is a tasting menu, with dishes chosen by the chefs, based on taste and what's most freshly available. Every single portion is delicious and layered with multiple flavours and textures, and they all feel expertly chosen to deliver a concept album of fine dining sushi.
The atmosphere is a bit tense and personal, and it's mostly a place for couples I would say.
If you love sushi you owe it to yourself to give this place a visit."

"The sushi is bananas!! Crazy good! One of the best I ever had.
Pricy, but really worth it!
Fresh, precise and balanced in flavour.
The only down sides are the alcohol selection (almost nothing.. and horrible and over priced wines) and there are no desserts! Weird that after an amazing sushi dinner we needed to go to another place to have dessert."

When Roku opened, Kobi Shanan, the owner, defined it as an "omexa bar", which means - here you won't find rolls adapted to the Israeli palate with cream cheese or cones bursting with fish and sweet potato in tempura with spicy mayonnaise. Broco respects the status of the fish, even if it is from the Mediterranean, and serves only nigiri, with aesthetics playing a major role here. The Omakase meal varies according to what the sea has to offer, so I cannot recommend one dish, but the whole experience.
