Like its award-winning London counterpart, Roka Akor restaurant in San Francisco brings the unparalleled combination of thoughtful design and contemporary Robatayaki Japanese cuisine. The restaurant’s name is derived from two words: RO and KA. The meaning of the first word is hearth, a gathering place where people socialize and take in the ambience; the latter stands for a burning fire and projecting energy.
