ROKA London has been a defining force in the city’s dining scene since opening its flagship on Charlotte Street in 2004, introducing the energy and theatre of Japanese robatayaki dining. Built around the robata grill, ROKA is centred on a style of cooking where dishes are prepared over open flames in full view, creating a sensory and social experience rooted in sharing and connection.

At the heart of every restaurant, the robata grill is both a striking design feature and the focal point of the space, where chefs, guests and atmosphere come together. ROKA, meaning a meeting place where food and drinks are shared around the robata (Ro), with warmth and energy surrounding (Ka), reflects this philosophy of connection, driven by fire, flavour and a vibrant setting.

Following its success in London, ROKA has evolved into a globally recognised brand, while remaining deeply connected to the city where it began. Today, it spans four distinct locations across London—Charlotte Street and Shochu Lounge, Canary Wharf, Mayfair and Aldwych—each reflecting the character of its neighbourhood while staying true to the brand’s core.

Across all locations, the experience is immersive and dynamic. The robata grill anchors each space with warmth and movement, while the menu is designed for sharing, encouraging guests to explore a selection of dishes together.

More than a restaurant, ROKA represents a lifestyle defined by energy, connection and understated sophistication, where the rhythm of the space, the quality of ingredients and the theatre of the grill come together to create an experience that is both vibrant and refined.
