    Such a fantastic experience like always at any of the RPM restaurants. This was our first time at RPM and it was outstanding! Our waitress, Anna, went above & beyond this evening. We were out celebrating my boyfriend’s promotion and she was very sweet is giving us complimentary champagne and cotton candy for dessert. She gave us great recommendations for our meals. The food was absolutely amazing and we will absolutely be back! I can’t recommend this place or any of the RPM restaurants enough.

    Celebrating a birthday at The TAO was an epic experience. We didn’t need to hit a club to enjoy great hip-hop music, and we could still hear each other talk comfortably. The appetizers were so satisfying they could have been a meal on their own, making the main course feel like a plus. It’s definitely a fantastic spot for a date ⚡️

    All I can say is WOW! I live out of town and I wanted a restaurant that hit all of the marks… A great ambience, energy and vibe, wonderful food, and great service. The bar is large and if it would have just been the two of us, I would have preferred to sit up there. The energy and vibe was great! Roka Akor had it all and was such a great surprise to our friends that live close but had never been. The sushi is AMAZING and was my personal favorite. There were four of us and we had four rolls along with spare ribs and salmon, it was the perfect amount for all of us to share. We will definitely be back, this is a place you don't want to miss if you want an array of different Asian flared food.
