Buddha Sky Bar

Food was really delicious. The drinks were strong and great. Honestly, didn't know this place existed here in delray. Loved it! Will definitely go back with some friends.

This place is amazingly the “Truth” and a “Gem” in the making. The presentation of the food comes with a precision and perfection that when you see your food you are awwwwwwwwd. Then you bite into it and you go “OMG WHAT IS THIS GREATNESS in my mouth?” I enjoyed a feeding from Alexis who is a great soul and an individual with amazing bar skills and food recommendations as she is a true foodie. If you are ever thinking of experiencing this great place just do it like Nike and go enjoy. I will definitely be back with family and friends.

Such a cool spot — perfect before the Delray Beach tennis event 👌🏻 Amazing drinks and delicious food. Mark, our waiter, was absolutely incredible — so friendly and attentive. He truly deserves a 5-star rating! We can’t wait to go back!

What an absolute gem of a spot in Delray Beach! I stumbled upon Roka Hula on a whim, and it turned out to be the highlight of my weekend. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was electric—cozy yet upscale, with that perfect Japanese fusion energy that makes you feel like you’re in a hidden Tokyo izakaya, but with South Florida flair. Let’s talk food first, because oh man, it’s next-level. The Wagyu dumplings? Pure heaven in a bite—tender, melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu wrapped in delicate wrappers, seared to crispy perfection and drizzled with a umami-packed ponzu sauce. I could’ve eaten a dozen orders. And don’t even get me started on the pork belly fried rice—it’s out of this world! Crispy edges on the pork belly, fluffy rice infused with savory soy and hints of garlic, topped with a fried egg that oozes just right. Every forkful was a flavor explosion; it’s the kind of dish that has you scraping the plate clean and eyeing your date’s portion. The drinks sealed the deal for me. Their Old Fashioned is a smoky, citrusy masterpiece—balanced to perfection with just the right kick. But the real star? The Mi & Yu, a Japanese whiskey sour that’s pure silk. That smooth, oaky Japanese whiskey mixed with fresh lemon and a touch of egg white for that velvety foam—it’s sophisticated, refreshing, and dangerously easy to sip. Pro tip: Order it on the rocks for an extra chill factor. Shoutout to our server, Frank—congratulations on being the best part of the night! He was incredibly attentive without hovering, cracking just the right jokes to keep things fun, and his recommendations (like that Mi & Yu) were spot-on. He made us feel like regulars on our first visit. If you’re in Delray and craving inventive Japanese eats with top-tier service, Roka Huka is a must. I’ll be back next week—five stars aren’t enough! Highly recommend.

I'm so glad we chose this place to celebrate my friend's birthday! The food and drinks were amazing, and our server Frank was fantastic. He gave us great recommendations and answered all my questions about the menu. The service was truly 10/10!

Lauren was a amazing server. So knowledgeable information. About the food and drinks. She is spot on what your taste are. Great prices and food.

First time here! Atmosphere is adorable and so mellow. Tuna crispy rice was amazing, don’t know how they got the perfect crunch but I will be back for that. We got the sleepless night drinks which were yummy cinnamon/anise like espresso martini. The Thai pork belly buns were unreal like melt in your mouth pork it was so good. Final dish was the Smokey spicy tuna (not smoked) which was also delicious. Our server was Kennon who was very informative and kind! We will be back ◡̈

Roka Hula is truly one of a kind! From the moment you step inside, the chill atmosphere immediately sets the tone for an incredible night. The exotic cocktails are not only visually stunning but also crafted to perfection, each sip bursting with flavor and creativity. The elevated dishes go beyond expectations—beautifully presented, fresh, and absolutely delicious. What really makes Roka Hula stand out is the immersive and seductive ambiance. The space feels vibrant yet intimate, making it perfect for a night out with friends or a special date. It’s more than just dinner—it’s a whole experience. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining escapade in Delray, this is the spot. Highly recommend! A special shoutout to Randy, Alexis, and Karen behind the bar. They were so warm and welcoming, and their knowledge of both the menu and the cocktails was impressive. They made the experience even more enjoyable, taking the time to explain each dish and recommend pairings with such skill and enthusiasm.

The style of this place is awesome!!! We even loved the music. The bar seats are so cute and comfy— that’s important! We loved our drinks. We got the Sleepless Nights and Monkey Business. Our bartender, Randy really took his time to make them special. He was so special.

The food is immaculate and super delicious, a twist to your favorite original Asian dishes. The presentation of the food is amazing. We had a great service for coming in last minute. Our bartender Alexis was very attentive and made great drinks. Their manager Todd was also very attentive and asked if we were receiving great service and food. Our favorite drink is Pina Punch. Our favorite food items are Korean short rib dumpling and both Bao buns.

We went to have a dinner for new year eve. Food and drinks were so tasty . It was also cool idea with DJ who played nice music. And thanks for heaters outside because it was freezing. We will come back for lunch .

My son and I came here on black Friday for a late lunch. We had frank as our waiter and he was very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu. I ordered the monkey business for my drink and it is delicious. Banana and rum very tasty. I had the sashimi for my entree and we shared the shrimp and scallops shumai. Very good. Overall the vibe is very relaxing and the interior is beautiful.

Dined here for the first time and it was 10’s across the board! Food, service, drinks, ambiance - absolutely amazing. Frank took great care of us and we honestly can’t wait to come back!

Came in Sunday night and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious everything we try from the menu was fantastic. We try a lot of the menu and I was satisfied with everything that we tried. Another thing that made our evening phenomal was the bartender Randy all his recommendations where fantastic and he made the drinks with so much care 10/10 I would be coming back

Great atmosphere. Our waiter Chris was amazing. Food was outstanding. My wife and I will definitely be coming back.

Such a great time. The food is interesting and different. Not your average tiki or sushi bar. Great atmosphere. Our server Jordan was fabulous, very attentive without over doing it. Can’t wait to come here again! So many things left to try.

Had dinner last night with a friend. Arrived around 9pm. Restaurant was busy, lively and inviting. The atmosphere is fantastic and the staff was very accommodating and welcoming. Jayne was our server and took great care of us -I’ll be sure to ask for her next time I return. Food was incredible, solid portion sizes and the taste was out of the this world. Roka is the new kid on the block that is sure to make some waves. Highly recommend going in there on any occasion, at any time. Would rate a 10/5 if I could. Consider me a regular!

Had such a great experience at this restaurant! Tyler was absolutely amazing — attentive, friendly, and really made sure everything was perfect. The food came out fresh and delicious, but what really stood out was the excellent service. Tyler checked in at the right times, gave great recommendations, and made the whole meal feel special. Definitely coming back again, and will be asking for Tyler next time!

Everything about our experience here was incredible! The drinks were top-tier—creative, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. You can tell the bartenders know their craft. The staff made the night even better. Manager Mike was so friendly and welcoming, checking in with us and making sure everything was perfect. Our server, Kennon, was an absolute gem—attentive, personable, and full of great recommendations. Every single dish we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Not a single miss on the menu. From start to finish, this place exceeded all expectations. Can’t wait to come back!

Food, service, cocktails and cocktails, and atmosphere were all amazing. We are hard to impress but this place was an easy 5 starts. We're from out of town, but we'll be back!

Beautiful place and amazing service! Everyone was very kind. I loved the food, I was able try things I haven’t before and felt so comfortable asking questions. Would definitely go back!

I had such a wonderful experience at Roka Rula thanks to our amazing server, Shyla! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being overbearing. She knew the menu inside and out, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Her friendly personality truly elevated the dining experience and made us feel so well taken care of. Roka Rula is already a great spot, but Shyla made it outstanding. Highly recommend asking for her if you visit you’ll be in the best hands!

The best restaurant I've ever tried, and the bao buns with tuna are amazing! Excellent service, everyone is quick and friendly.

Had such a great time. The roka hula roll and salmon roll were so delicious. Our drinks were so tasty. The afagato was unbelievable. Our server Lauren was great. All her suggestions were on point!!! Will definitely be back!!! And I can't forget about the atmosphere and awesome company!!!

Snagged 2 bar seats on a rainy Sunday evening and we’re so glad we did! Roka Hula was a great experience overall. The bartenders did a great job explaining the drinks. They are certainly flashy and meant to be enjoyed as a whole experience rather than just a regular cocktail, which I can appreciate. I got the honeydew me right and it was fruity, refreshing but still strong. My mom got the tokyo tease cocktail and she enjoyed it too. We ordered the crispy tuna rice, korean short rib bao and rainbow roll. We put this in at once and it all came out within 5 minutes. If you like to space out your meals, don’t order everything at once. The crispy tuna rice was good. I wish the rice was a *tad* crispier, but it also sat there for a few minutes as we enjoyed the other dishes. The sriracha aioli added a nice kick. The korean short rib bao were so unique - each bite packed a different punch. Some bites were smoky from the BBQ, others were refreshing from the pickled cucumber, and the bites with the pepper & wasabi aioli were my favorite. The rainbow roll was special! Tempura shrimp, salmon and tuna all worked well together. What really stole the show was the sauce at the bottom of the plate, it was savory and sweet. We couldn’t get enough of it & added it to the other dishes we had. We had a lovely time here and understand why it has such rave reviews. We would definitely come back and like to try other things on the menu!

What a great add this is for Atlantic ave. Lots of flavor with every dish and the atmosphere is very unique.

Alexis‘s service was A1 from day one, Amazing recommendations in food & alcohol. Her energy made us want to sit and have a good time and enjoy the Thanksgiving eve. We will definitely be back thank you Alexis.

Victoria was truly the highlight of our dining experience. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm, genuine smile that instantly made us feel welcome and valued. Her professionalism was matched perfectly with her friendly, upbeat personality. And the food was amazing !

Elizabeth was our server and she was awesome. She recommended dishes that we never would have thought to order but will definitely order again. Elizabeth was very personable and you can see she loves what she does!!!!! Great experience!!!!

Our server stephine absolutely ate!!! She was on top of EVERYTHING — drinks, refills, recommendations — and had the best personality. She made our girls’ night even more fun and stress-free. You can tell she knows what she’s doing. 10/10 service, give her a raise!!!

Luis made our entire experience absolutely amazing from start to finish. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness really stood out. He was attentive without being overbearing, made sure everything was perfect, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. You can tell he truly cares about providing great service and creating a great experience for his guests. If you get Luis as your server, you’re in great hands — he honestly made our visit memorable. Highly recommend!

Mark is literally the best waiter! From his welcoming smile, to his attentive service. We spent Galentines at this restaurant. Atmosphere was cute, drinks were tasty, food was flavorful! We will Deff be returning! And although the other waiters seemed nice too, we will specifically be requesting to be served by MARK next time we come. See you guys soon ! Thank you 💜

Visited this place for the first time and wow! Our waitress Victoria did a phenomenal job. She was attentive and made sure we weren’t missing anything. The food and drinks were amazing. The atmosphere is chill and the music is great. Will definitely be coming back.

This place is famous for their Pork belly fried rice and tuna crispy rice so I had to try and see, and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Been here couple of times and the food is on point. The restaurant is booming with amazing flavors, just delicious. Furthermore, they carry mocktails 🥂 Tokyo tease was my fav. Luis was very friendly, gave us a welcoming feeling. He offered good suggestions, very attentive and courteous. I would absolutely recommend them - great service within delay beach area!

I recently visited Roka Hula and had an absolutely incredible experience, thanks to Luis! From the moment we sat down, he went above and beyond to make our visit special. His friendliness, attentiveness, and genuine care made the meal unforgettable. We ordered a lot of dishes, and Luis ensured that everything arrived promptly and perfectly prepared. He checked in often without being intrusive and offered great recommendations throughout the meal. The food was fantastic, but the service truly made the night. If I could give this experience a 100/10 rating, I would! Luis is a true asset to Roka Hula, and I highly recommend asking for him when you dine here.

Pretty solid Asian street food right in the heart of downtown Delray. Most dishes are meant to be shared, which makes it easy to try a variety of items from the menu. We ordered five dishes for two people and it was the perfect amount for a medium appetite. The crispy rice tuna and bao buns are absolute must-orders. Great music, fun vibe, and a lively atmosphere overall. Definitely a must-try if you’re into Asian street food.

we went here on a sunday around 3. we both got drinks the honey dew me was extremely sweet but very good. we got both of the bao buns on the menu and neither were amazing. the korean short rib ones had a different flavor profile we weren’t crazy about it. the star of the show was the korean short rib gyoza these were amazing the edamame was delicious as well. would recommend to a friend to try but not sure if it’s a place we will return often.

I expected more, especially with all these killer reviews. Here’s my honest take. Food: the short rib bao was very good. It had a noticeable fusion of flavors that worked well, and the bun was soft, though it should have been a bit warmer, it was room temp. The roll, however, was not good. It was a rainbow shrimp tempura roll, but it tasted more like greasy crispy breading than anything else. I wasn’t pleased, especially considering the $26 price tag. There’s no shortage of mundane, overpriced rolls in palm beach county (cough.. meat market.. cough). We also ordered the seared tuna salad, which was bland and nothing special. The Japanese eggplant was described as “too earthy,” and I agree, I wouldn’t recommend it. We wanted warm sake, but they don’t serve it warm. Why? That makes no sense to me. The menu overall feels limited, and again, I expected more. The waiter was pleasant, and the design and ambiance were exceptional, from the cherry blossom ceiling to the creative leopard-print menus, there’s no denying the place looks amazing. Verdict: ALL HYPE - I won’t be back.
