Seems to have gone down hill over the years. They've changed the name and got rid of some menu options. They also have less and less options then before. It's okay, but they assign where you sit and don't come by very often. It's not as good as it used to be.
I have never been to a restaurant and disliked every dish I had. The quality and freshness of sushi at Rockin' Rolls was horrid. I let so many sushi rolls pass by because they looked like they had been circulating for hours. The seaweed salad was just thrown across the plate and looked picked over. The sushi to rice ratio was atrocious. Many pieces had paper thin pieces of fish sitting on a handful of rice. NONE of the sushi that came around looked appetizing except the spicy salmon which is the only sushi I was able to eat. The miso soup came from an automatic dispenser and it was bland and gross. I also tried the hibachi menu as the sushi wasn't even an option for me. For the shrimp hibachi, they serve you basically baby salad shrimp with the tail still on. The fried rice wasn't that great either. The only redeemable item from the menu were the fried chicken wings. They were surprisingly pretty good. The conveyer belt doors were also dirty and should be deep cleaned. Service was okay. With that being said, this is the cheapest AYCE sushi & hibachi place I have come across (less than $40 for two people) and you definitely get what you pay for. Wouldn't recommend unless you just want wings, only way it would be worth it.
This is very a cool concept! The sushi comes around on a conveyor belt behind a glass door, and you grab as many and as much as you want. There are all types of sushi options! They are creative in the types and name them after cities in Va. they also have salad, cucumbers, edamame, desserts and seaweed. If you don't want those options, you can order from a monitor at the table that has options like wings, fries, rice, veggies and protein--steak or chicken. Staff will come by periodically to collect the plates. Customers will pile the plates sky high as some time of show or badge of honor.
well this was terrible. the best part for me was the miso soup machine lol. service was super nice and they have gluten free options but the quality is just horrible, which i guess you get what you pay for. the edamame was frozen cold, sushi was stale and lukewarm. i was worried i was going to get food positing from this! the wonder of how long the sushi has been on that belt! the idea is so fun but i mean its a scary possibility of contamination and not adhering to food safety regulation - like everyone's glass doors were always open (they say not to do that but obviously people will do it anyway) . there was no salad for the dressing either. i am definitely not coming back here. just a reminder that cheap sushi is just not worth it
The sushi selection is not up to the level of Kura Sushi. Additionally the taste of the items was lackluster. They didn't season the rice at all. So I'll give them a C+. The place was clean and the price was a little bit higher considering the limited menu. The service was adequate. Beyond that I recommend trying one and then move on. Would I come back? Not likely.
Cool experience. The conveyor belt delivery system was neat. The options were somewhat basic. They do have a digital menu at each table that you can order from if the conveyor belt doesn't feed your hunger.
Being SF transplants, we miss our sushi boat restaurants and I'm glad Raleigh has a conveyor belt option now. Arrived around 2:15pm, which means I caught them just before lunch service closed at 3pm. So keep this in mind when I say the fried sushi was not as fresh as one would like, but everything was pretty gosh darned tasty and service was kind. The value is definitely there, as you can order apps and entrées from the screen, while picking out what you like from the peripatetic menu items gliding by. Another plus is that you have all the sauces available along the drink bar area should you wish for more. The only dessert I liked was the 'cheesecake.' Others were dry and not worth finishing...but hey, money *not* wasted. Don't like it? Don't eat it. Vegetarians do have enough options to make the all-you-can-eat worthwhile: seaweed salad, cucumber salad, edamame, miso soup, fried rice and stir-fried hibachi vegetables, veggie tempura, French fries, spring rolls, avo-cuke and various other veg-only rolls, as well as desserts.
$18 all you can eat. Sushi is not bad and not great either. Quality of sushi better than your local grocery stores or Chinese buffet. There are some variety and they don't use filler like cream cheese , but there are not a lot of meat. They have to keep the cost low some how. You can order extra appetizer and hibachi, those portion is kinda small and I didn't try it. This is not a true conveyer sushi restaurant, there is no hot water dispenser at your table and the setup is not Japanese. It is still a fun place for family or you need a lot of calories. There are signs of "don't waste food" everywhere, so remember not to waste food just because it is all you can eat.
We love the experience at rockin roll both the Raleigh and Durham locations. The conveyer belt style makes it a fun and unique dining experience. There is a sauce bar area with many options as well as a station for miso soup. Aside from sushi it's also all you can eat hibachi, appetizers, desserts, and their is a kid menu. You order these items on the tablet and they are brought to your table. Don't skip on the chicken the wings and skewers are so good! Expectations are important. Don't come in expecting top tier sushi it's honestly a step above grocery store sushi. The rolls are simple and the plate portions are small. It's more about the bang for your buck and it's such a fun vibe. Great spot to bring family and friends. There is something for everyone. If higher quality all you can eat sushi is what you're searching for check out Mr. Tokyo. More upscale experience at around the same price point. Bigger rolls means more filling so are far as all you can eat goes expect to eat a lot less. I highly recommend both. I personally prefer rockin roll because I love the comfortable casual atmosphere and we have had amazing service every time!
What a great experience!!! Great place to go for someone who has never had sushi before. It's great that it's all you can eat and you can try different types of rolls. Also enjoyed the great selection of appetizers and other dishes that are included in the price. The conveyer belt makes it even more fun! Such a fun, laid back atmosphere!
This was my first experience having the conveyor belt for sushi and I loved it! The fountain drinks are serve yourself, there is a miso soup serve yourself bar. A few dipping sauce options, and utensils. The sushi was very fresh and the rice was well seasoned. Every roll I tried was so good, my favorite was the Raleigh roll. The building is very clean and tidy. The servers came around and cleared our table periodically. My one suggestion is to bring in more vegetarian options with out cream cheese so I can bring my husband next time read more

My mom and I decided to check out Rockin' Rolls Sushi for lunch last week and had a great time! For the price and all that you get, wow, this is one of the best deals on sushi that I have found! So, it is unlimited sushi for $14 for lunch. A drink is extra, but they do give you a free cup for water. Next to the drink section are all of the sauces that you could ever as for. Plus trays to take them to your table. The sushi is on this cool conveyor belt that runs throughout the restaurant. At each table are two sliding doors that gets you access to the sushi. The title of the rolls and a short description are in front of each roll. You can grab as many rolls as you want. Every roll we had, especially the Kani roll, were delicious! You can tell they are freshly made and just so yummy! In addition to the rolls there is also a screen where you can order appetizers and hibachi--all which is included in the price! So, you get sushi as well as hibachi with your cost! Wow! Of course with sushi I got full so fast, but I got to try ten different rolls between my mom and I! Definitely recommend this spot! read more

The cost is $17.99 per person. The experience is cool especially with friends. The sushi is okay. I would compare it to grocery store quality. If you are sitting at the beginning of the conveyer belt it is good, but if you are at the end there can be very few of the better options. There are no servers. You order any extra appetizers and entrees on a tablet and then there is a drink and sauce area that you fill up for yourself. read more

Had no idea there was a conveyor belt sushi place in the area. I had been to one in Boston and love the concept. My niece mentioned going there for dinner, so off we went. When you go it is one price and all you can eat. That includes the sushi, salad and dessert on the belt AND you can order apps, kids items, rice and entress from the kitchen. Lunch is a little cheaper but I felt like the price is extremely reasonable. You do need to know you can't take any leftovers home. The plates ranged from 2 to 4 pieces each. They also have all the normal condiments you need or want. Everyone should go at least once just for the experience if nothing else. read more

If you are wanting something different and fun, this is definitely the spot. We have dined here 3 times so far and every time is just as fun as the last. Now, are these sushi rolls top tier....probably not, but they are pretty tasty. All the food is included in your price, so you can eat the sushi, order some apps and even order som Hibachi (which is a great option if someone do3snt want to eat just sushi rolls). My absolute favorite is the Volcano Roll. It is definitely a fun spot for date night or hanging out with friends. read more
Rockin' Rolls Sushi Express is great for the novelty. I haven't been to a conveyor belt sushi place since I was in high school, so I was super excited to see that Raleigh has one...and that it's all you can eat so you're not doing the math by the colors of the plates. I went in with low expectations, mainly because of the reviews. For $17.99/pp for dinner on a Sunday, the price can't be beat for the amount of food we ate. We did pay for soda which was a little more but we each had three refills, making it worth the price. When you walk in, you pay before you sit down. You can grab a tray and pour your own condiments into sauce cups and get soda on the way to your booth. We were sat at booth 1 which is next to the kitchen. Though it was a noisy area, we couldn't complain because we got first dibs on everything and didn't have to wait for the full rotation. We didn't really have any issues with a lack of options being that we were next to the kitchen. The only roll we waited for was the fried banana roll that my husband was obsessed with. We ordered from the kitchen and had at least 20 plates of sushi (probably each, if I were to be honest). Each plate has 2-4 pieces of sushi so it's nice to sample a little of everything. The Hotel Kalifornia roll was probably my favorite out of everything. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the Kani Salad. Everything else was decent and we ate more than we should have. Not to mention, we probably had 3 cakes, 3 brownies, and 2 pieces of cheesecake each...we definitely had our fair share for the day. Rockin' Roll is a fun place to pig out. You're not going to get top quality sushi but you are going to have a great time as long as you choose the right company to join you in the sin of overeating. The booths are nice because other customers aren't judging you on your glutinous behavior...so choose the right person to join you in this adventure. Would I go again? Of course! Is it really 4 stars? No, probably 3.5 but honestly, it's not worth giving 3 stars. It's a fun novelty of a restaurant and you're going to leave full. read more

This is not excellent sushi. Let's get that fact right out of the way quickly. I visited for my first time today at lunch and the selection was just ok. Maybe they change it up everyday but I was not overwhelmed with options. The sushi is ok and everything was fresh. The flavors and roll selection were decent on flavor but some of the sauces they used actually tasted a bit watered down. I came right near the lunch opening so everything was coming out quickly and being consumed in short order. The staff was all very friendly and someone did check in on me to make sure I was doing all right. Seems like a really fun concept. The sauces, wasabi, and ginger are all next to the fountain machine and you just help yourself. Once you pay at the register and get your seat you are pretty much on your own to enjoy. There is a screen at the table that allows you to choose certain appetizers, entrees , kids meals, and the ability to summon a server Very affordable $15 for lunch and I just had water with lemon. I would come back in for a quick meal but this won't be my top choice in the Raleigh area read more

Let me start by saying the amount of food you get for the price is awesome & why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 3! This place is an introverts dream. When you walk in you are seated, but everything else, is pretty much self serve- the drinks, the sauces/condiments, and the food! There is a conveyer belt that runs through the whole place, and a little slider door at your table to simply open, pick up the sushi & close the door. There is also a tablet at your table to special order any non sushi items like gyoza, egg rolls, wings, tempura, etc. that is then dropped off at your table! The only critic I have is the quality. We did NOT get sick, & nothing tasted funky, but it just wasn't the best or freshest sushi I've had. But it was cheap & we left satisfied with full bellies! read more

Solid 3 star restaurant. That's not necessarily a bad thing if that's what you expect going into it like I did. I can only speak for the takeout experience, as I did not dine in. I tried the crab Rangoon, Philly roll, Raleigh roll and salmon roll. The rangoons were not bad, but I've had much better. They were lacking in flavor, and maybe I am crazy, but they had a buttery taste to them. No sauce came with them. The Salmon roll was also a bit lacking in flavor, but the rice was perfect. The Raleigh roll, which many on here recommend, was tasty, and the best of the bunch. The Philly roll was average. Just OK. But again, I've had better. I ordered knowing it would likely be on par with grocery store sushi, which it was. I was not disappointed and I'd likely eat from here again if I wanted cheap, quick sushi. read more
