I've been here twice now. All I can say is the thrill is gone! The first time would be 4 stars. We had such a fun time and the food kept coming and tasted so good. The second time would be 2 starts. A few pieces of sushi had the crust on the rice that means it's been exposed to air for a while. That I didn't like. But I will say it was a Tuesday evening so it wasn't as crowded as the first time we went. I waited for the spring rolls and crab rangoons to come out fresh. Although hot, the spring rolls didn't have much taste and neither did the rangoons. I will visit this place again although I will go on a crowded day and wait a few months before I return! read more

First experience with this restaurant and thought it was a very interesting concept. I visited both Durham and Raleigh locations and the Durham location was by far the best experience. The food was fresh and when ordering from the menu, the food presentation and flavor were much better than the Raleigh location. The extra drive is definitely worth it! read more

I had a great first impression at Rockin Roll Sushi. The concept of the conveyer belt is very unique and one of a kind. I did not keep count on the type of sushi present, but I do know they offer two types of deep fried sushi. FYI: volcano roll is my favorite. Just remember to ask for a table along the center of the room because it's a guarantee you will be able to try everything. read more

This place is ridiculous. Half the tables were empty but we were told the wait was 25 minutes. I asked why when half the tables were empty and I was told that side of the restaurant was closed because"they didn't have enough customers". Umm ok, not enough customers but there is a wait of 25 minutes? Doesn't seem logical to me at all. We drove 30 minutes to get here and came early specifically to beat the dinner rush so we would not have to wait. Seems like no matter what you have to wait forever at this place. We won't be back. read more

------ TL;DR Come for the quantity, not for the quality. +FOOD+ - Sushi (2-4 stars): They're pretty heavy on the rice and lacking on the actual substance but the sushi is not that bad. Avoid the monkey / banana roll and get the Richmond roll! +EXPERIENCE+ My group of five polished off 82 plates of sushi which was probably 20 some plates too many. You'll probably fall into the trap of trying to eat as many pieces of sushi because it's just! so! darn! cheap! but you will truly regret it at the end of your meal. This location did not serve all the items that are advertised on their website like the fresh salad, cucumber salad, or some of the simple rolls. At $11, ayce sushi is a great deal and a fun activity to do with friends, but honestly you're probably better off spending a bit more to eat some higher-quality sushi rolls. You'll won't lapse into a food coma and you'll avoid food waste this way! I would come back here... but won't be for a while. Visited 2/2/18 read more

This has gone down hill since my last review. If you want to please read that first. 1) This evening there were 30 plus people waiting and they only had one side open. 2) As indicated by the picture I took tonight there was a hair on a sushi roll. That's totally disgusting. I love this place but I'm not going to pretend I did not see a long gross hair in my food. 3) we arrived and waited for our turn. Someone who came in after us only had to wait half of the time and got seated before us. That is total BS. 4) I have emailed corporate. The only reason that this rating is not any lower is that the hairless food I got was still good. And no, I will not take it down so don't ask. read more

Rockin Rolls is everything you would expect from a conveyor belt sushi place, and all-you-can-eat for $10.95 each. The belt was always full with a good selection of choices. Seaweed salad and miso soup were available on the corner bar along with sauces and a few other items. Is there better sushi? Of course. However, at this price the sushi was better than average, everything was well-presented and well-prepared, the staff was friendly, and the place was very clean. Looking forward to a return visit! read more

This place is pretty nice and it's never too crowded which I like. They don't have that much of a variety on sushi but that's okay.

One of the *Meal Deal* I missed from Asia/Japan is the freetyle and variety of sushi meal, none of which more missed is the "Kaiten Sushi," or as translated conveyor-belt sushi. Words had came to me through the sushi-vine that there is a Conveyor-belt Sushi place coming, to Durham nonetheless. So you know ya boy had to go and check it out. After 3 visits, and 75 plates later, here are my thoughts: 1. The concept is there - Place looks spacious, designed for a two-belt operation - Self-serving style on condiments and side-items (Nespresso-looking Miso soup machine...) - The frequency/re-stocking of sushi is in relative promptness - Much affordable alternative than other AYCE sushi 2. The execution still need to be refined - Only one belt is in operation, assuming training the staff to get used to the process first*** - You get what you pay for; nothing cheaply, but nothing fancy like Otoro-nigiri - There are really only 2-3 VEGETARIAN-DEDICATED choices only, be aware - Wait time can various between 20 mins to 45 minutes - That weird "buffet-style" dessert bar. Why not simply do dessert on plate on conveyor? - No *drinks* choice other than water and soda; I know some associate Sushi with Sake and Sapporo (and/or Kirin Ichiban) Don't let a three-star deter or frighten you. I loved the place, as matter of fact, as I'm writing this review on a Friday afternoon I'm trying to gather another group of 4 to go with me for dinner tonight. It is a much affordable alternative to Orchid Sushi AYCE dinner, at the very least, and I cannot turn down neither Sushi nor AYCE. ***P.S. It is now a two-belt operation! Therefore it at least alleviated two of my concerns. I'm upping my review half star more to 3.5, but I think I want to leave it at 4 star appearance. ***P.P.S. I'm standing here, with 30 other ppl all waiting for table, staring at a half-operational restaurant, because they refuse to open up the other belt. You just lost the star you gained. read more

This is an all-you-can-eat joint. You pay $16/person as you walk in the door and are assigned a table next to the conveyor belt. If you want other stuff (appetizers, hibachi, kid's meals), there's a gadget to order them. Then, you just open the door and take out a plate of 4 pieces of sushi as it goes by. There are little cards with descriptions of the sushi in front of each section. There's a salad bar, a dessert bar, condiments bar, fountain drinks and bottle drinks. (Drinks are extra, you are given a particular cup for the thing you order.) It is all serve-yourself except for the orders from the "extras" menu thing. You are asked to tip by the payment iPad when you come in. I have no idea who gets that and that bothers me. If it goes to the people clearing tables and making the sushi, that's great. If it just goes into the restaurant's net, not so much. The sushi was good and had a reasonable variety. read more

This kind of a one time experience event. It was $54 total for 4 people. All you can eat with unlimited drink refills. We went at about 1 pm on a Saturday. The location was clean and only one conveyor belt was going out of the 2. The place was not crowded at all which made me a bit skeptical. There was a variety or rolls around 10 and 4 different types of sushi. Along with the typical miso soup, edamame, seaweed salad, etc. the actual sushi was pretty poorly made. Barely any fish and most rice/seaweed. The rice kept falling apart and would not stick together which made it difficult to dip into soy sauce. It seemed like the chefs were pumping out quantity over quality. The overall taste was okay. But what do you expect for the price. read more

Rockin Rolls Sushi Express is the latest phenomenon to grip the Triangle. Social media was ablaze with videos advertising the restaurant. You've got to love free marketing. After an incredible workout one day, I decided to treat myself. I felt the metabolism churning, and I knew it was finally time for me to check out Rockin Rolls Sushi Express. The legendary Kuanyu ate an even 100 pieces or 25 plates, so I had the benchmark to beat. Time your visit carefully, and you can easily avoid the long wait times. I was able to beat the lunch rush by walking in shortly after open. Pay at the front, sit down, and eat your heart out. There's a station with seaweed salad, miso soup, and the like, but that's not why you came here. No, it's time to eat sushi until you no longer feel sad about your deep existential thoughts and instead feel sad about all of the white rice that you just ate. As other diners have commented, you don't have a great selection. Still, it's definitely not a bad selection for $10.99. There's your standard imitation crab rolls, there's nigiri, and there's some shrimp rolls. None of the rolls beat my expectations, but that's not a bad thing. You have to go in with realistic expectations. Rockin Rolls Sushi Express is first and foremost a novelty. After your amazement of eating sushi off of a conveyor belt wanes, you're left with a mediocre sushi restaurant and the intense pride/regret of eating 104 pieces of sushi to beat Kuanyu's 100 pieces. There are Chinese buffets that charge only a few dollars more with better AYCE sushi. read more

Neo Sushi Express - Aftermath of the beautiful destruction I bring with me to places. - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Brilliant concept coupled with just a decent execution. Rockin Rolls is satisfying, but most of my friends agree that it falls short of excellent. Firstly, the seating system is pretty flawed. Depending on when you come, the wait can be anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours. I came with a party of 12 at 3 PM on a Sunday and waited 10 minutes to be seated. I also came with a group of 10 at 6:30 PM on another Sunday and waited an hour and a half. They don't accept reservations, so it's first come first serve, and overall it's just disorganized and chaotic. The sushi itself is fine. Taste-wise, it's quite average, but I don't personally care too much as long as the quality is above a certain threshold given that it's an all-you-can-eat style restaurant. The restaurant promotes a variety of rolls, but in actuality, around eight different kinds are on the belt at any given time. Of those eight, four or so are usually "filler rolls," like the seaweed roll, which is literally just a pile of seaweed on top of rice. For me, the taste of the sushi becomes tiring quickly, but I have pushed myself to eat 23 plates before. Another flaw to the sushi conveyer belt system is that people seated downstream receive less sushi (both variety-wise and quantity-wise) than people seated upstream. This was just a minor issue for me since we ended up receiving all of the sushi we wanted to try in the end. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and clean, with a modern and upbeat atmosphere. Service is rude and disinterested. Don't tip. I like that they have a condiments bar where you can fill up on sauces like spicy mayo and eel sauce and grab some fruit or seaweed salad too. Overall, Rockin Rolls is a decent all-you-can-eat sushi conveyor belt experience for $11. If the quality of the sushi improved and the flaws in the seating and conveyor belt systems were worked out, it would certainly be a better deal. read more

Don't come if you're hungry. Concept is great. Execution is terrible. We sat here for 15 minutes before we even saw a roll on the belt. Even when we were lucky enough to get a roll - by the time everyone in front of us had grabbed what they want - we were left with just crabmeat rolls. If you have hours to kill, are not hungry, love sub-par crabmeat rolls, or feel like throwing away $11 - this place is for you. read more

Worst. Sushi. Ever. The rice has no flavor. The fish isn't the best quality. Almost everything has some kind of sauce on it to mask its poor quality and lack of seasoning. The only thing that's good is that you get as much of it as you want. read more

Initially I was anxious about dining here based on ominous reviews, but my experience actually turned out to be a decent and satisfying one! I paid for myself and my boyfriend; two AYCE for $11.99/ea and two fountain drinks came to ~$30 after tax and 15% tip. We were quoted an hour wait time at 3pm on a Saturday, but we waited for only about 25 minutes. Not bad for a popular venue. We were also seated in a coveted "upstream" booth where, according to other reviews, we would be able to feast upon the best and freshest sushi while leaving everyone behind us to starve for lack of food. Well, we must have came on a good day/hour because there was plenty of sushi for everyone. I made sure to watch as different sushi (sorted in sections by name) made its way to the people on the last booths. We watched specialty rolls and nigiri go around twice or thrice before being picked up, and the sushi chefs made sure to stock as much as five plates of the same sushi per round. The sushi quality wasn't amazing, but a single roll at a good restaurant can cost $11 alone, so at least here I got my money's worth insofar as quantity. I counted at least 13 different kinds of rolls and nigiri. They also had a station for cold sides such as edamame and salads, but I gave dessert a hard pass on account of being so full. I will say that it is disappointing to not see the restaurant utilizing its full potential. Both myself and bf work in the service industry, and we scoffed at the conveyer on the left side of the restaurant not being operated. No wonder people who had to wait an hour were so pissed. Yet still, if you go at a decent hour on a weekend and don't have a huge party, you should be good like we were. Give it a shot! read more

I went to this place 5 days after it opened and it was fantastic. Some other reviewers that went before me had some bad experiences, probably because the restaurant was still getting all the kinks worked out. I ate 42 pieces of sushi. I've eaten at lots of different sushi restaurants and this ranks near the top. For the $10.99 price though, I'm coming here. Paying extra at other places with slightly better sushi is not worth it when you can come here and have decent sushi, as much as you want. The raw fish here is really good. The fried Volcano roll is also really amazing. They have all different kinds of sushi also including, Nigiri & Maki. They also have unlimited Miso soup and they keep the tofu submerged in water for you to add to your soup. And they have little coffee flavored cakes for dessert. Love this place! read more

So, the good first... the Sushi is good for the price that you pay for it. $10.99 for an all you can eat conveyor belt style sushi buffet. The atmosphere is upbeat and modern with definite Asian influence. The restaurant is very clean. Restrooms are also well maintained. Restaurant has at the time of this post a 100% sanitation score. Now the not so good... very poor parking due to it being in a strip mall. Be prepared to circle a few times on busy nights. Then, once you get inside there is ALWAYS a wait to get a table. Even though they have two lines to serve guests, one line is never open. Other Yelpers have also stated this. I assume that the second line is only opened up on the "Busiest" nights. Because of this you can expect to wait 15-30 minutes or longer for a seat. This wait could be avoided if the second line was in operation especially at dinner service. read more

A fun place for families and something different when it comes to the sushi experience. The place is wonderfully spacious and clean. You pay before you sit so you kind of know what you're in for. I'd say the sushi here is okay. But for Buffett style I expected that it quantity over quality but it's not the worst either some decent rolls if you know which to get. They also have a order section and hibachi options which was a pleasant surprise. Fun for the family and satisfied a hunger. Just know you're not getting like $20 rolls more like 36 dollar style rolls I. Presentation and taste. Cool idea would come again. read more

I came at a time before it got busy. The belt was pretty full. I dub this place Do-It-Yourself! Of course, it keeps prices low. Dip your own wasabi and ginger and soy. And use the little soup machine for some miso soup. The sushi was good although I had to pass on the tilapia sushi!! I racked up a lot of little plates and probably could have gotten a bill well over double from a order by piece place. Overall, I'd go back. read more

Neo Sushi Express - Tilapia Sushi. Hard pass! Haha - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I left a rather harsh review about a year back and after my recent visit i felt compelled to give them a new take. Recently they have increased the variety of sushi types. But what's more- not they have a new feature of all you can eat hibachi menu. Now you can order small portions of hibachi steak , shrimp and chicken with a bed of cooked vegetables. Comes with sauce too . You can also order fried spring rolls, dumplings, and crab rangoon as well. All the dishes i have mentioned come included with the initial entry fee. They have really turned their operations around and i am glad they care read more

If you are looking for a Michelin star rated experience at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, you clearly need to readjust your expectations. If you are looking to eat your weight in sushi at a reasonable price in a fun atmosphere, however, Rockin Rolls will certainly deliver. I've been twice now, and I've been very satisfied with what I paid for the quality and especially quantity of food. You pay up front, get assigned a table, and then it's go time from there. Sushi zips along the conveyor belt and there is a decent variety to satisfy most appetites. Some options are a bit questionable, such as rolls with tilapia, but most of the other rolls are comparable to or slightly better than grocery store level sushi. The mango roll in particular is pretty tasty. One of the things that I love is that there is most likely something to eat for anyone in your party. Have a family member who hates sushi? Order something from the included hibachi menu instead. Dining with a finicky toddler, check out the kids menu. Craving dessert? That's included too. Win win for all particularly at the price. read more

I ate all my sushi and then decided to write a review so apologies for the photo. This is probably the cheapest sushi delivery option (through Uber Eats). You can definitely get more sushi for cheaper here than elsewhere. I think the best rolls I ordered were the eel roll and eel nigiri. The eel piece in the roll was very small though! Richmond roll was a little too spicy for me (but I had no spice tolerance), otherwise good. Presentation was lacking on all the rolls. See the leftover Richmond Roll that was packaged squished up against the plastic top. The miso soup was watery and taste was meh. Not enough eel sauce on my rolls so they were dry without soy sauce so if I order again I'll order extra. Tempura shrimp roll was fine but boring. If I'm short on funds I would order here again, but otherwise definitely go somewhere else with a special or something as the sushi is very average. read more

Neo Sushi Express - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Like a lot of people have said, excellent concept but bad execution. The way the conveyer belt is set up has large party tables given access to the belt before the rest of the smaller tables, and by the time the rolls can make it around to the other side of the restaurant with the smaller tables, there aren't any rolls left as the large tables have taken them all. Luckily we must've gotten there at a time between large parties being seated, because we had a chance to grab almost every kind of roll. But after about 15 minutes, there were literally NO rolls that made it around to our table. And we definitely weren't the only people that had that problem, as many people were complaining. Also, there weren't any salads, deserts, or soups offered that were advertised. Moral of the story - if you go, get a table with first access to the sushi rolls. Sushi's quality is pretty good if you can get it! read more

I had never been to a sushi conveyer belt before but absolutely loved the experience. I would go back just for the experience of it again. The sushi itself was decent. I wouldn't say it was any worse or better than grocery store sushi. But it is a cheaper option to try a bunch of different rolls. I'm not a huge fish person but rockin rolls had so many crab and shrimp options. I was obsessed with the volcano roll and the crab rangoons are must. Overall enjoyed my experience. read more

My girlfriend mentioned this place and how we should check it out. The concept seemed really cool, but I think ultimately the restaurant could have executed the vision a bit better. Service: The service is confusing. The staff didn't seem to have a lot of structure in terms ringing people up and adding others to the wait list. Additionally it took quite a while to be seated. Ambiance: The place feels kinda like a cafeteria, it's got a weird indoor decor. But ultimately the conveyor belt of sushi looks pretty cool. Good place to come with a group of friends, maybe even a date. Food: There is a decent variety of sushi so you have your pick of the types you want to try. My favorite was the Las Vegas Roll. It was fried shrimp with cream cheese. It was really delicious. Some of the other rolls weren't too appetizing though. Price: Ultimately, for $10.99 all you can eat sushi this place is a deal. There are a couple of solid options and you can definitely eat your money's worth. TIP: The further down the conveyor belt you sit the less likely you are to get a choice of decent sushi. At times some of the rolls I wanted were still being made and picked up by those sitting before mein the belt line. read more

Out of all the sushi options in Durham, this is my least favorite. First, the all you can eat is misleading because their menu is NOT updated, and they only offer 8~ types of sushi WHEN there is any. It's hard to get any sushi because the groups before you grabs all the sushi, so there is no food down stream. If you come here hungry, you will stay hungry for a long time. Quality: 2/10 but what do you expect for a all you can eat place for $11? According to their new 'updated' menu (which still shows more types of sushi than we actually saw) it might no longer be all you can eat soon. Basically don't come here unless you have low expectations. read more

I feel bittersweet about this place.... Great concept---poor outcome... I came here on a Saturday with two of my friends and decided to come a little earlier (after reading the reviews about the wait time). We arrived at 5:45-6ish and was added to a waitlist. We were told that the wait time was 1.5 hrs, but the place didn't even look full! Luckily, were seated in about an 1hr and everything else is self serve, including wasabi/ginger/soy sauce/miso soup dispenser/ seaweed salad, etc. *NOTE* press the miso soup button 1 time... not twice like I did.. the machine wouldn't stop and ended up taking two bowls back to my table.. Sushi rolls choices were basic- spicy tuna, cali roll... Nothing that stands out in my memory. I was kind if disappointed, did not expect it to be that plain.. Overall, it was a-okay for one time, the experience is cool...and it is only $10.99/person... But the wait time... oh never again.. read more

Anyone who truly enjoys Sushi, Avoid Rockin Rolls Sushi Express! Run, don't walk. This place serves poor quality, Fish & Rubbery Rice. I cannot stress enough, that the missing ingredient is quality. Wast of time and money. I have never been more disappointed, ever, in my entire life, as I was, at this restaurant. Only interesting aspect, was the revolving sushi conveyor. Not only will I never return, I cannot express how degrading this Sushi Restaurant, is to the Japanese High Quality Tradition that has been established from Japan to the States, over the past 40+ years. Garbage...Garbage...Garbage! MSH read more

Ever eat sushi and question whether this will make you sick or not...? That was my experience here. Spicy Tuna - okay, flavorless. Philadelphia Roll - awful, they use the cheap cream cheese, avocado was brown, salmon was smoked , and cucumber discolored. Safe to say, I did not eat much of it. read more

This place is great! Conveyor belt style so much cleaner than traditional buffets! Good quality. No it's not $15-20 a roll quality, but plenty of options for sashimi, warm (tempura styles), cold (eel, tuna, ect ). Great place to take kids for sushi. We have five and it was perfect!!! read more

Hezekiah Walker sang a gospel song that is close to my heart. I love you. You are important to me. I need you to survive. This is true of you too. You are important to me and you are important to God. There is good sushi there is amazing sushi there is Jiro Dreams of sushi. This sushi is pretty dece. Listen it is conveyor belt AYCE. if you got the cash to buy really high qual sushi as much as you want good for you. But listen. I love food. Food is the greatest love of my life. It should be God. And I think that Rock and roll sushi can help humble me because God the creator comes first not what is created. Nevertheless. here is a conveyor belt sushi place. the quality is not amazing. but it is good. it is good. and for all you can eat that is amazing! plus you can get teriyaki beef. I love this restaurant so much. I love it so much. they do such a good job. they do such a good job. it is amazing. read more

It's actually a 3.5! This restaurant reminded me of my competitive side. Every time I ate a plate, I would add it to my stack and compare it with EVERYONE. I was such a troll when it came to just comparing my stack to others. I finished 11 plates of sushi and my boyfriend finished 18. The conveyor belt is an awesome idea. I accidentally dropped some sushi on the belt (SUPER MY BAD) but I was amazed by how quickly it was cleaned up. It was as if nothing was dropped to begin with. It was a nice flow and great visually. They also have miso soup on the side. You just have to press a button! There's lots of sides you can get that are located in the corner of the restaurant. The food was mediocre, but who can complain with this deal! 10.99 for ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI?? Why the heck not! The downside is that they are ALWAYS busy, meaning waiting times can be 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. You can't call ahead to reserve a spot. But I think it's awesome! I'd go back. read more

Pretty good, decent selection. Went and our iPad was broken and the cashier never got the manager so we couldn't order anything. They were really busy so we just left it. Was really annoying but other than that was pleased. Good sauce selection. read more

If you sit at the end of belt, you barely get any food. It is not worth the money you paid for sure!!!! Please never come to there.

Food was decent, not great. HOWEVER, the experience was horrible. We drove 40 minutes to try this place for lunch on a Monday. When the total for 3 adults was more than $60 I questioned the price. I was told that because it's President's Day they are charging dinner prices all day. The website clearly states lunch prices Mon-Fri 11:00am-3:00pm with NO mention of holidays. The woman who rang up my order was quite rude & told me that the owners "know what they're doing". I said if they knew what they were doing then they would post it on their website & do the right thing & honor the advertised price. She then told me the owner was on the way to Raleigh. She called the owner & then told me I had to pay dinner prices. While this was happening 2 people came in & literally said "OH Hell NO" & they left. If I hadn't driven 40 minutes & been there for my daughter's birthday we would have left too. When I told the lady that it was false advertising she argued with me that it isn't even when I showed her the website. She also told me that it doesn't matter if I leave a bad review & post on social media about my horrible experience. Clearly they DON'T CARE about customers having a good experience. I will NEVER go to any Rockn'Roll Sushi again & I recommend that you don't either. There are plenty of great sushi restaurants in the Triangle are who will treat you right & provide much better sushi. read more

First off, this isn't going to be the best quality sushi - but at only $11 for AYCE, what do you expect?? It's certainly a better deal than any number of mediocre sushi places in the area (you know the ones I'm talking about, the BOGO planes). I love conveyer belt sushi places - they're so fun! But most of the time, I can't enjoy them because I'm too busy keeping track of plate colors to make sure I don't go over budget. No worries here, though! It's all you can eat so pull off as many plates as you'd like! It's mostly self service too so you won't have servers reprimanding you for not eating the rice either, which is a huge plus. I came here late about an hour and half before closing with my boyfriend and they were running a little low on the miso soup and other things at the self-serve bar. The sushi was also slow to come out, but I'm guessing that's because they were close to closing and didn't want to put out too much food in case it wasn't picked up in time (There were still plenty of us eating, though!). The nigiri are definitely rarer than the rolls, although I'm not sure if that's because they made fewer pieces, or because we were near the end of the conveyer belt and they were taken up early on. Either way, I suggest grabbing as many as you can to start off since you don't want to be sitting waiting 10 minutes for more nigiri and only seeing rolls. The vegetarian options are pretty lacking, but I guess that's par for the course when it comes to sushi places. Overall, it's a great option when you're craving sushi somewhere casual and want something cheap to get that fix in. If you want to maximize your fish consumption, grab anything that sounds good (especially nigiri) early on so you won't be left waiting between cycles. read more

All you can eat Kaitenzushi, Durham-style. Definitely better sushi than most other local asian bistro AYCE buffets, but not quite as good as some BOGO a la carte sushi places like Sakebomb. (Mr. Tokyo in Chapel Hill is a recent, much-appreciated AYCE serve-to-table alternative with more of a diverse menu.) Rockin' Rolls needs to rotate their offerings a little more often -- I have not seen any new items at lunch in months, and I have been dining there several times a week since it opened. read more
