I was rocking and rolling at Rock and Roll Sushi…read more I heard my kids talking about Rock N Roll Sushi, and how great it was, so when my sister wanted to take me out for a birthday lunch, I immediately requested to go. I loved it so much that I suggested that my friend and I go another day, so luckily I have been twice! The atmosphere of the place is fun. You can't help smile with the rock and roll music playing as well as old music videos. I also loved their big red booths. They have a large menu with all sorts of rolls. I LOVE their Punk Rock Roll with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, cream cheese, and seared tuna on the outside. What made it absolutely amazing was the strawberry-avocado-cucumber mix that was on top and the sweet, chili, ponzu dressing. Add an egg roll, and you have an incredible meal. Also, the roll was large, so I had enough for leftovers. This also offer ramen and appetizers such as gyozas, edamame, and wontons. Plus, if you like Nigiri and Sashimi they also offer this.

My son and I stopped in for lunch because we were craving sushi and had never visited before. The…read moredécor was lively, colorful, and welcoming. Unfortunately, our table was very unsteady and wobbled every time we rested an arm or hand on it. We probably should have asked to move, but we did let the staff know before leaving. Thomas was our server. He was very pleasant, though he seemed fairly new. I asked twice for lemon for my water but never received it. He did check on us after our meals arrived to make sure everything tasted good. The food was fresh and delicious! I ordered the Fire Crunch Roll and the Alaska Roll. Both were good, but the Fire Crunch was definitely my favorite. My son ordered the salmon hibachi and received a very generous portion. After we finished eating and requested a small takeout container, we sat talking for several more minutes. When Thomas didn't return with our check, we eventually walked to the counter to pay. He then said he could take care of it at the table, but we were already standing there and ready to leave. It made the ending feel a little awkward, and in the confusion, I accidentally left my container of sushi on the bar. Such a bummer! Overall, we had a good meal, and the food was definitely the highlight. With a little more attention to the service details and that wobbly table, the experience could have been even better.

My ONLY complaint is that the chopsticks they offer are the really cheap wood ones and they give me splinters.

Our server was prompt and made really good recommendations. I love that their Happy hour has food and drink specials every day 11-630 and all day on Sunday. You can't beat that! We had a couple of things( not all were photographed). Itchy salmon, calamari, steamed edamame, lion king roll, hotel Cali, spicy saki roll ( to go). We also had two different types of sake. The hot sake was really strong but once it cooled off a bit it was not as strong. My niece had the SHO CHIKU BAI SAKE NIGORI and she just said it was okay.

Hibachi-style dinners are served from the kitchen rather than cooked in front of you, for a more peaceful dining experience. Standard offerings include steak, chicken, salmon, shrimp, scallops, and lobster entrees or combinations thereof, served with fried rice, vegetables, and either soup or salad. The fried rice has a good flavor that doesn't require the addition of yum-yum sauce. The sashimi is pretty good. The sushi rolls are decent too. I've also enjoyed the tempura and the katsu here. The service is usually quick and always courteous. The outdoor seating option is nice when it's not too hot, and not something commonly found at Asian restaurants around here.

I immediately knew that I was going to be happy with my decision to eat here. I started off with the Shrimp gyozas. Since most gyozas are made with pork, I cannot remember eating shrimp gyozas before, and these were phenomenal. I highly recommend that you give them a try. I was pretty hungry, so I decided to order the Sashimi Deluxe dinner. 21 pieces of sashimi seemed pretty ambitious. If I had known how thick the sushi was going to be, I probably would've gone for a smaller dinner, but I'm glad that I didn't know because it was amazing. As for dessert, I always go with Red Bean ice cream. For those of you who have never tried red bean ice cream - you have GOT to try it. I know what you're thinking...red beans and ice cream do not go together, right? Well, you are absolutely WRONG! I don't know what breed of red beans go into this delicious dessert, but it is amazing and incredibly refreshing. Do yourself a favor and drive directly to Samurai Japan...eat until you're totally full...and then order the red beans ice cream anyway. You'll thank me later!
