Sunset Menu UYE at Sushi Roku

This was such a smokin’ deal I almost don’t want to share for fear of overcrowding. However that would go against the spirit of Unilocal so here you are.
For $ 23, you get 3 FULL ENTREE SIZE COURSES. AT SUSHI ROKU!!! 2 of these courses together would be closer to $ 30 before you got to the final, which would all be over $ 30 themselves. So, if you want to be a scam artist like I prefer to be and insist on ordering the most expensive individual entrees offered, you’ll like end up getting approximately $ 60+ worth of food for barely 20 bucks. Stop what you’re doing and RUN to Sushi Roku before they realize how outrageous of an offer this is and shut it down. Seriously!
I had a giant plate of Seared Albacore with Ponzu Sauce and Fried Onions as my first course, the Hanabi (spicy tuna on crispy rice which literally melts in your mouth) as my 2^nd, and a massive Baked Crab Hand Roll and rock shrimp and jalapeño cut roll as my 3^rd. Shit was the bomb.
If you’re not into raw food or meat for that matter, they have plenty of veggie and cooked options for each course as well. I believe I saw Lindsey F. eating a giant bowl of Rock Shrimp, and Sunny B. had an eggplant dish as well as a perfectly cooked Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus.
This was a fantastic UYE and a perfect welcome back to Unilocal for me after a work-​fueled, self-​imposed hiatus. The staff at Sushi Roku couldn’t have been more accommodating to our every request. They even sent us home with a gift bag for crying out loud!
Thanks to Sushi Roku and Unilocal (for the 1^st round of cocktails and superb bouncy balls,) I will definitely be back!

What an amazing deal! EVERYDAY from 5:30 — 6:30pm they do a three-​course eastern-​inspired menu with tons of options.
I had the albacore with ponzu sauce and fried onions as my first course, the miso eggplant for my second and the filet mignon with potatoes and asparagus as my main. I could barely finish it all and I came very hungry. Normally this meal would have ran about $ 55. Whoohoo! Nothing makes this little piggy happier than delicious deals like this! I’ll definitely have to go back and try the rock shrimp and the crab hand rolls.
Thanks Lindsay for putting together a fantastic UYE, and thanks to Sushi Roku for the amazing deal and great gift bags!

Yay for Unilocal Events! This was the first Unilocal outing I’ve been to and I had such a blast! I’m not sure if my party arrived at the right time or something, but there was ample 3 hour street parking around 5:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. We walked into the restaurant and was immediately greeted by the assistant manager who led us to the Unilocal table. It was really great getting to know fellow Unilocalers :)
Now onto the food! The sunset menu is super yummy and such a WONDERFUL deal. It’s offered everyday from 5:30 — 6:30 pm. $ 23 for a three course meal. I would definitely come back again for the meal on its own. But with the Unilocal hookup, we each received one complimentary beverage and a gift bag with tons of goodies like travel size alcohol bottles, coupons, and candy, galore!
I ordered the:
— Traditional Mojito — tall glass, not too strong, lots of mint leaves = Yum!
— Seared Albacore Sashimi (5 or 6 pieces) — delicious & fresh!
— Hanabi on Crispy Rice (3 pieces) — scrumptious!
— Filet Mignon (small cut with Asparagus and mashed potatoes) — great! I’ve tried several steakhouses, and although it’s definitely not the best filet mignon I’ve ever had, for the awesome price, it was very satisfying.
In my opinion, the combo I chose is probably the most bang for your buck, but I want to try new things on the menu next time for sure.
Thanks Lindsey for setting the event up, I really enjoyed it, and can’t wait to attend more Unilocal events!

Last night my husband and I came to an Unofficial Unilocal Event (UYE). We had been here before for dinner with some friends and our experience was great then and yesterday it was too. THey have the new Sunset menu for $ 23, which is a fantastic deal. I had the Seared Albacore Sashimi and my husband decided to have the same, we realized he should have chosen something else. Lindsey was kind enough to share her hummus with the table. It was really good. For our second course I had the Hanabi, it was heaven, who doesn’t like crispy rice. My husband had the eggplant. I was really good too. Again Lindsey shared her second course with the table. She had the Popcorn shrimp Tempura, the plate was huge, there was like a pound of shrimp on that plate. It was so yummy, again who doesn’t like fried. For our third course I had the salmon, yummy and my husband had a couple of sushi rolls, I was so full I couldn’t even taste a bite of his food. They also have ½ price bottles of wine on Sunday and Monday so if you do the Sunset menu, which runs from 5:30 to 6:30 you can have a fabulous meal at a very reasonable price. By the way, Cody our server was amazing.

I am writing this review in a food coma thanks to the new Sunset Menu at Sushi Roku. Last night, we gathered at Sushi Roku to check out the new $ 23 three-​course sunset menu that runs everyday from 5:30 — 6:30 PM. I walked in not quite sure what to expect and I ended up being more than pleased!
Sushi Roku was kind enough to set aside a large table for the Unilocal group, so we were all able to chat with each other while we ate. We started off with a cocktail courtesy of Sushi Roku. I went for the infused cocktail that consisted of a blend of different flavored vodkas and fruits juices that sit over night to set. It was as delicious as it sounds! I could have probably had four but that would have turned the evening into a much different night so I stuck with one.
After we got our cocktails, the feast began! I had many items to choose from on the sunset menu. For the first course, I ordered the edamame hummus with chips. When it came out, I realized that this is no appetizer! It was a complete bowl of edamame and could have easily been shared with three people! It was good and the chips were an interesting twist. I would have probably preferred some sort of pita, maybe with an Asian twist? Now moving on to the second course! I couldn’t pass up the popcorn shrimp. It just sounded too good and it definitely was! Again, this could easily feed three people and it was a bowl of delicious popcorn shrimp in a tasty glaze. By the time the third course arrived, I was so full I could barely eat it, but I ordered the filet mignon in teriyaki sauce. Now they definitely did not skimp on any of the items and the filet mignon was no exception! It was so large and delicious and came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. To give you an idea of the price structure, the filet alone is $ 31 and considering the three-​course sunset menu is only $ 23, it’s absolutely worth it to make it to Sushi Roku during the special hour!
As if we weren’t spoiled enough, Sushi Roku surprised us with amazing gift bags filled to the brim with goodies like sake, patron, hair products, free drink coupons, a free appetizer tasting, discounts and even fun Japanese candy and gum!
It was a fabulous night of great food and even greater company! I’m happy I got to know so many fellow Unilocalers better and can’t wait for the next one!

Came for an UYE (Unofficial Unilocal Event) and loved their Sunset Menu! The Sunset Menu comes in three courses. I had the: 1) Grilled Filet Mignon 2) Seared Albacore Sashimi 3)“Hanabi” (Spicy Tuna) on Crispy Rice — AND it was only $ 23!!! By the time the Filet Mignon came out, I couldn’t eat anymore and had to box the rest for lunch tomorrow. Our table was looking at the prices for each meal and they were around $ 15, with the exception of the Filet Mignon for a normal price of $ 31. The Sunset Menu is a total steal. The Seared Albacore Sashimi is very tasty! The only thing is it’s such a tease, it makes me want to eat more. I asked for the Filet Mingon to be cooked medium-​well, and it was some of the most tender meats I’ve had in a long time. I haven’t tasted good meat like that since eating Alpaca from Peru.
Overall, my friends loved our experience here! Courtesy of Unilocal,our table enjoyed complimentary drinks! I enjoyed the non-​alcoholic Mojito placed with pineapple juice in the mix. Thank you Sushi Roku for the gift bags! I can’t believe the gift bags included tickets for a complimentary drink at the bar, a complimentary appetizer (with dinner), a mini bottle of Patron and sake among other shower treats. I’ll have to come back here again! Very Swanky and Photo-​esque place.

This is such a nice place. Its has this beautiful setting and just makes your whole experience memorable.
We started at the bar with some drinks and extra salty Edamame. (We ordered it that way)
The bar staff couldn’t have been a better staff. If you owned a bar restaurant you would want these two working for you. They were very good.
I had the Pear Martini first. Not as good as I hoped for. Tasted a lot like pink hand soap.
Then I had the Roku’s Fusion. It was served from one of those Sangria Jars that I find disgusting for some reason. Instead of wine there was Vodka in there. For some reason that made me feel better. This drink was very very good and only $ 5.00.
I also had the Champagne St. Germain, very, very good. Then I had the Ginger Lychee Mojito, also very good. Slightly to much mint for my liking but a very refreshing beverage non the less.
We cashed out and went and sat at our designated table for the UYE event we went to. Our server was really funny and I think it was fate that he was chosen for our group because he was great.
We had rolls mostly. The Rainbow Roll was my favorite. The others were good and the Baked Lobster Roll wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be.
The best dish we had was the Chilean Sea Bass with Yuzu Butter. It was one of the most amazing dishes that I have ever had. The sauce or butter was unimaginably good. The fish was delicate and tender and left you wanting more, more, more.
As my Uncle put it. It all tasted like More!
