Low mid. I got the rainbow roll and the yellowtail sushi. Nigiri. Taste like grocery store sushi. Color of it is a dead giveaway.

Sushi
Kaysha K.

So excited I tried this spot today! Definitely my favorite pineapple fried rice of anywhere I've tried so far! It was actually served in a fresh pineapple! Our waitress was very sweet and accommodating and the overall ambience was cozy, dim lighting, and moderately aohistacatef without being stuffy. My brother and his family are big fans of this place for sushi!

One of the best sushi I've had. The sushi melts in your mouth, like wow! Amazing. I recommend this place. The service is so fast and the servers are very helpful. The quiet spot and very relaxing to enjoy a nice meal. Will be coming back. We got the playboy roll, angry dragon and yummy roll. Amazing. Good job Chef!

When they said this was the best sushi in Rockwall, they lied. It's better than that! Absolutely so cute inside. Currently, BYOB and so accommodating. Glasses and no service fees. They are working on their liquor license so I am sure that will change. Service was quick and prompt. We had a couple small apps and ordered a lot of rolls. They came so very quick! We got 5 specialty rolls and 2 basic. We figured let's get a variety to ensure we like some because we have had such bad luck finding sushi we like since we moved to the area. All 5 rolls were amazing and we wrote them down so we would get them next time. Angry dragon Lobster rainbow Tnt rol Sweetheart toll Ocean men roll The two basic was spicy tuna and Alaskan. S to R, it's buy 2 get 1 free. Every day of the week, to go orders are buy 2 get 1 for $2. Highly highly recommend.

We were craving for Asian food for our Mother's day celebration and we didnt want to drive far. I read a few good reviews on Basil Cafe and we wanted to try it. It was a good choice! It did not disappoint us. Every order we had was so good! Very flavorful, and authentic. Highly recommended. This is our new favorite restaurant!

Filet Minon Maki

My husband and I visited for a Friday night date night this past week. It's easy to miss and looks dark from the outside at night but I was pleasantly surprised at its modern decor and romantic ambiance. There were a few people eating but not full. Our server came quickly and suggested appetizers. We ended up with their coconut shrimp, the Rock Wall roll, Author roll and filet minon maki. Everything tasted fresh and we enjoyed it but I will say that my husband would have preferred more coconut on the shrimp and the filet minon was slightly over cooked (got a little tough). The crème brûlée was a nice touch of sweetness after our rolls but wasn't spectacular. I loved the variety on their menu and we will definitely be back to try the ramen and/or Thai dishes.

Love boat
AlbinA P.

I think we found our go-to. The food was so very delicious and beautiful. We ordered fried rice, ramen and a sushi boat and could not have been more pleased. The fish was delicious and fresh. The ramen broth was smooth and had very well developed flavors. The service was quick and intuitive. The dining room is cozy with comfortable seating. 10/10 recommend.

On your way roll
Luke S.

the food here is incredible! the pineapple fried rice was DELICIOUS! The Dancing Chicken was INCREDIBLE AS WELL!! I also ordered the On Your Way Roll, and it was great too, but it felt like it was missing something. Quite honestly all the food here surpassed my expectation. My favorite is the Pineapple fried rice, then comes the Dancing Chicken, lastly comes the on your way roll. The Service was mediocre, nothing special. The review would be lower stars but the food is so good it outweighed the mediocre service. The ambiance is really cool. It's dark and feels upscale to an extent. The music playing in the background is really cool and drives a pop/pop country vibe.

Cute little restaurant to have a yummy lunch. They have a great lunch special for a good price.

Nice touches on the decor and very kind service. Atmosphere was good for a small dining room. Sushi was 4 out of 5 stars.

We ordered a Supreme Fried Rice and Pad Thai Bowl with Shrimp and Egg for lunch via DoorDash…read more The amount of food you receive for the amount you pay is pretty cheap. You pay about the same amount at any other restaurant, but you receive a bigger portion at Stir Fry Chef than anywhere else. The Supreme Fried Rice tasted good. It had everything I wanted: chicken, shrimp, and eggs. My only complaint is that it wasn't stir-fried well because only parts of the rice were fried while the others were not. The Pad Thai Bowl with Shrimp and Egg was probably the best plate out of the two. The noodles weren't soggy, but it was juicy. It was tasty and delicious -- even thinking about it now makes me drool. I think I would definitely order from here again.

Large portions, well seasoned, plenty of protein in order…read more We've ordered delivery twice now from Stir Fry Chef & both times have been very pleased. We have had plenty of yummy leftovers each time. Main dishes could easily be split for 2-3 people. So far, we have tried the Supreme Fried Rice, Korean BBQ bowl w Chicken over cabbage, Sweet & Sour bowl w Chicken over white rice, Beef Teriyaki bowl over brown rice, Edamame, pork & chicken pot stickers. I think we would reorder any of these but will likely try more items in the menu. You can add an egg to your bowl which we have done ea time but they have not been delivered w the egg. They do not allow you to customize your orders such as request in more sauce which I would suggest for the pot stickers.
