I took my wife for her birthday yesterday. The sashimi was fresh and very good. In addition, we ordered a bunch of side dishes - filet mignon wrapped asparagus, shishito peppers, seaweed salad, and braised pork. The prepared foods were also very good with the exception of the shishito peppers - the sauce was a bit heavy and salty for... More

I have eaten in many Sushi restaurants and this is by far one of the best. The fish was so fresh. Our salmon melted in our mouths and the tuna was of the highest quality. One of the best California roll I have eaten. There was a crisy rice appetizer that was unique and wonderful. The service was excellent, very... More

I originally found Sushi Roku in Vegas and became a fan. This location has a great zen like atmosphere and the sushi is more trendy than it is authentic. I've enjoyed everything I've ever ordered. They offer food as well as sushi. One of my favorites was the garlic albacore roll. It's no longer on the menu but they were... More

Came for happy hour - got wine, 2 different maki rolls, a miso eggplant dish and Roku tacos, and was the food was not only excellent but I was satisfied for less than $30 - with the only negative being eating at the bar. I really recommend this restaurant - the sushi is fresh, the food flavorful, and if at... More

I've been going to this restaurant for many years. There are many sushi restaurants that do not open until dinner time. This one is open for lunch and dinner every day of the week. They have a nice bar lounge, indoor and outdoor. A few flat screen TVs only at the bar. Their food and customer service is top notch.... More

We had a great time at Sushi Roku! The food was awesome and the atmosphere was fine, as well. I had the Truffle Hand Rolls (2 orders), and loved them. The truffles could have been a bit fresher, but the whole presentation was fine for a truffle lover, like me. I also had the Filet Mignon wrapped asparagus - also... More

Nice ambience, nice decor. Saki & sashimi over marked up more than any other restaurant I have ever been to. Odered Gingo cold saki, one sashimi plate and a well drink for a total of $55! The same bottle of Gingo is usually about $6-7 and was charged $20! The 5 piece sashimi plate was $3.40 per bite of fish!... More

The fish was not fresh (smelly), expensive prices, service was just OK. They need better chefs. The only positive - the ambiance was very nice. Next day we had really good food at Kabuki (on Colorado blvd next to Melting Pot) More
