Full description

ROKA Istanbul brings premium sushi and grilled Japanese dishes to the Galataport waterfront, in a refined, warmly furnished room with views praised by reviewers. Guests highlight the yellowtail sashimi with yuzu-truffle, the eel nigiri and a well-chosen sake list, with staff willing to explain the options.

Seafood quality is rated highly, even favourably compared with other upscale Japanese names in the city, though service gets mixed comments. With a premium price level and a trendy, design-led feel, it suits couples and special dinners and typically takes about an hour and a half.
