Recruiting Senior Finance Professionals for the World’s Best Brands Filling Roles with Experience and Expertise, not Sales.

It's the Refreshing Networking Lunch Awards for 2023 this week and in SECOND place is ROKA. Review Below I feel like a bit of a d**k for choosing this for the following reasons a) It's a small chain, not a single restaurant (but then again so was Dishoom in our breakfast awards b) It's quite high end expensive, which makes me look like a show off. Which is quite cringeworthly, but I'm going to deal with it. c) This isn't even my photo. I didn't get a photo as the food is so good and is sharing style, that taking a photo was going to mean I had to stop people diving all over it, which would have been unfair. Japanese food, for me, used to be hard to beat. But then I went to Tokyo and now Japenese food in England has a lot to beat. Take ramen for example. I have only found one restaurant in London which remotely compares to Tokyo. If you have hired with us before, feel free to DM me and I will tell you. If not, tough luck! You will unlock the best ramen in London when you engage us on one of your roles. Roka is comparable. It's superb, varied and whilst it's a touch smarter than I prefer for Japanese food, it's so worth a visit. My prefererence would be food of this quality, in a rough and ready diner like I had many times in Japan, but I'm not fussy enough to make that a point.
