Roka Mayfair

Description

Located in the elegant heart of Mayfair at 30 North Audley Street, Roka Mayfair stands as a vibrant outpost of contemporary Japanese izakaya dining, where Chef Rainer Becker’s signature robata grilling and sushi artistry fuse with bold flavors in a sleek, inviting space. Opened in 2014 and a Michelin-starred gem from 2015-2018, this venue—open Monday-Saturday from 12pm to 10:30pm (Sundays until 9:30pm)—draws London’s cosmopolitan elite for refined lunches, intimate dinners, or lively group gatherings, offering a seamless blend of sophistication and warmth in the city’s upscale dining hub.

Enter Roka Mayfair, and the interiors captivate with modern elegance—polished wood floors, charcoal-toned walls, and an open robata grill create a dynamic, communal vibe seating around 130, where the sizzle of skewers and chefs’ precision set a lively backdrop. Cozy booths and a central sushi counter foster intimate exchanges, while a petite outdoor terrace offers al fresco charm for North Audley Street’s gentle bustle. As evening unfolds, curated playlists and occasional live DJ sets during seasonal events infuse a subtle buzz, pulling in a stylish mix of professionals, food enthusiasts, and visitors for clinking sake pours and shared plates. The atmosphere is polished yet approachable, perfect for a power lunch, romantic evening, or festive group feast that lingers into the night.

The menu showcases shareable Japanese dishes crafted with premium ingredients—Hokkaido scallops, A5 Wagyu, and pristine seafood—across sushi, sashimi, and robata stations, paired with an extensive sake list and cocktails like the Shochu Passion (£16), a zesty shochu-citrus blend with passionfruit and chili for a fiery lift. Start with the Hamachi Sashimi (£20), yellowtail slices with yuzu-truffle dressing and microgreens, delivering a clean, umami-packed opener. The Crispy Soft Shell Crab Tempura (£16) arrives golden with wasabi mayo and ponzu dip, crunchy and light for sharing.

Robata highlights include the Miso Black Cod (£30), buttery fillets marinated in sweet white miso and grilled to caramelized perfection—a Roka classic. Sushi shines with the Spicy Salmon Roll (£14), avocado and toro wrapped with chili sauce and tobiko for a creamy, spicy bite. The Wagyu Beef Tataki (£24) sears A5 slices with ponzu, garlic chips, and scallions, tender and savory. Seafood lovers savor the Grilled King Prawns (£28), charred with yuzu butter and lemon, plump and briny. For bold flavor, the Spiced Lamb Cutlets (£26) grill with gochujang glaze and sesame, juicy with a smoky kick. Vegetarians enjoy the Mushroom Hot Pot (£16), a steaming bowl of seasonal fungi in dashi broth with truffle essence, earthy and comforting. Sides like the Asparagus with Miso Butter (£10) add nutty balance.

Desserts offer a refined close with the Yuzu Cheesecake (£12), creamy layers with citrus curd and sesame tuile—light and tangy—or the Chocolate Mochi (£10), chewy rice dough filled with molten ganache for a bittersweet, indulgent finish.
