Deal of the Week: Half Off at Roka Akor

Posted on: July 20th, 2011 by Amy Martin No Comments

At Roka Akor, located in Scottsdale, the centrally-located hot spot is best known for its sushi and Japanese dishes created using the robata grill. Voted one of the top 10 sushi restaurants in the US by Bon Appetit Magazine, it easily makes the list one of the Valley’s most popular restaurants. Head over to Local Dines to purchase a gift certificate. For $30, enjoy $60 worth of Japanese cuisine!

Pictured left is the Prime Rib Eye Steak with Wafu Dressing. Roka Akor serves serving robatayaki, an open charcoal-grill cuisine cooked on the robata grill. Interesting tidbit: Robata is Japanese for “cooking with open flames” using bincho tan (a special charcoal from the seaside village of Wakayama). Many years ago, fisherman would grill their catch in this way, sharing the cooked delights by passing food on oars from boat to boat. Dishes you’ll find at Roka Akor include Prime Rib Eye Steak with Wafu Dressing, Butterfish Tataki with Yuzu and White Asparagus, Miso Marinated Black Cod with Pickled Red Onions, and the Robata Grilled Vegetable Platter.

Visit LocalDines.com to purchase your gift certificate – and send one to a friend!
