The Family Affair roll was incredible. I enjoyed the rockets and it's cute seeing the sushi come out this way. The Nigiri was amazing and fresh. The only roll that was a bit disappointing was the Cherry Blossom roll. It was dry. I've had many cherry blossom rolls and this one ranked lowest. I found tartar sauce with the soft shell crab interesting. It was labeled as a special sauce. It does not seem like a good mix. I love soft shell crab appetizers and typically have had them with a lighter (less heavy) liquid on the side.

Very good quality sushi with the fun conveyer belt and tablet ordering. My 7 user old was very entertained and the adults were happy with the selection and taste. Will absolutely return again. Really huge and clean inside, which I didn't expect from outside.

Friendly service and staff, pretty quick if you're in a rush. Came for one omakase. Few bites really stood out, 1-2 less so. Decent spread overall and nice presentation. Lovely rocket touch and atmosphere. Overall fairly fresh fish.

We went here for a late lunch today! We ordered salmon sashimi and tuna sashimi and dragon roll, miso soups, and the lion king roll! Oh my goodness this sashimi was the most soft and tasty piece I ever had. It was so fresh! I was so hungry we didn't take any photos. Aah The food we ordered on the tablet menu and the order came to our table on a rocket ship revolver. It was so cute because the rocket design said nasa and it was shaped like a rocket. It was a fun experience as well! And ah definitely will come back. My only iffy is the booth seat had a weird friction to sweat pants. So when you're trying to enter and leave while scooting there is some trouble. So keep that in mind. Just for a pov with leg room.

Rainbow Roll

Pretty good but not your typical rainbow roll. This had tempera in it and no crab meat.

Loved this place! A variety of Japanese food, prompt service, and great shtick with the rockets. It's always fun to add a moment of play ordering from a tablet and watching your food come down a rocket themed conveyer belt. The decor and spaciousness took me back to Japan for sure! A lil review of our order: Veggie caterpillar roll: Delicious, really fresh and hearty at the same time. Spicy edamame: pretty spicy oil, not too salty, a good start to the meal. Vegetarian Udon: super savory, light broth. Noodles were so chewy in the best way! Tempura roll: Pretty yummy, but maybe a little heavy/greasier. Gyozas (not pictured): perfectly fried, really good. We came in 30 minutes before closing and had 15 minutes to order, but all the food came out so fast, and the staff served us so many refills of food and tea. As two people, we spent about $80 all in, but it was a lovely experience. We were only 2, but the tables are definitely meant for larger parties!

Pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon, not sure if the sf marathon had anything to do with it. Looks super popular with delivery apps as they have a row of tables dedicated for togo orders. Really good service, super attentive whether you're looking for the restroom or need more water. Huge portions of fish on the nigiri and even on special the special rolls. Quality is expected and not the greatest but that's the trade off for portion size. Really fishy taste in my mouth afterwards was kinda gross lol.

Cherry Blossom Special Roll
Mia W.

SO GOOD! my second time here & this place is super consistent. first time trying the blossom roll & this place was very generous with the outside layer of tuna. very fresh & surprisingly filling even though we ordered only two rolls. rolls were both huge & the food came out quickly. water was refilled twice & the waiters very attentive throughout the service. good prices, large portions, & even better food. also entertaining to watch the sushi on a rocket launch towards your table at top speed! would highly recommend this place. all the seating is in large booths making for a comfy experience. solid spot for a date night!

There's a rocket that brings your sushi to you! You order on an iPad, but if you need any special accommodations, you can just tell the waitress and she'll let the chef know (I'm allergic to avocados, for instance). The interior is cute. I think the rocket adds a lot of novelty. There was no wait for 2 on a Sunday evening. We ordered 3 rolls, which was filling for us. If you order more than like, $50 or something, you get to order a glass of plum wine or sake for $1!

Jessie H.

Decent sushi spot with a fun aspect that sets them apart from the others. The food is delivered on a speed belt. Its quick, fresh and tasty. I really loved the hand rolls but the more pricey roll fell a bit flat and tasted average at best. The service otherwise was great & attentive.

Cherry Blossom Special Roll
Amy G.

Sometimes sushi restaurants with fun themes/gimmicks fall short when it comes to food, but Rocket Sushi really delivered! The portion sizes were generous and ingredients tasted super fresh, and I love being able to continuously order more food on the iPad and have it delivered to the table via rocket. It doesn't get super busy because it seems like a lot of their business is takeout, but would really recommend going in person and having fun watching the rockets! Prices were reasonable too - I got 1 specialty roll, 1 maki, and shared edamame and ended up spending ~$40 after tax/tip.

Abel A.

Cool idea for server-less ordering and delivery. Food is decent but nothing to salavate over, value is ok. Restaurants clean. A convenient spot for a quick work lunch. They do alot of takeout orders.

Lion King Roll (Baked)

Brought my family here on a Thursday night. My daughter has been wanting to try a Conveyor belt sushi spot, although this wasn't necessarily a conveyor belt it was cool how your food was delivered. We were sat immediately, no wait at all. It was very convenient being able to order food on the screen system at the table. They had staff there to answer a questions we had about the food. Was a nice little place to grab some sushi with family or friends. Everything we ordered came out fresh and tasted great! Will definitely come back of I'm in the area again!

Once unloaded, you push a button and wave bye bye to the train departing. Yes. Super fun for kids. I ordered some sashimi, tofu salad and some sushi. They are super fresh! Service is fast, consistent and friendly. My kids enjoyed goyza, soup, onion rings and some cooked sushi's. We would love coming back again. I can see this to be our go to place in Japan town.

I think expectations are usually low when going to these types of spots but given the quality and price, it's actually pretty surprising. I usually stop by for dinner on weeknights. It can get busy sometimes but I've never waited more than 10-15 minutes. Service is quick and friendly. The goal is to get you seated and taken care of right away. Once you sit down, it's game on. Chefs are busting out all different kinds of dishes for you to try. They also take requests if there's something on the menu you'd like to try. I love not having to commit to a roll and being able to try a ton of different things. Admittedly, I keep coming back for the seared walu. The plate color lets you know the price of what you're getting. Most plates come with 2-4 pieces and run from $3 - $8. I can make this dinner as cheap or expensive as I'd like!

Sushi circles around on a conveyor belt, and some of it has clearly been riding for a while. There are also packaged, grocery-style items on the belt like cake and uni. That said, it's good and possibly fresh, and the chefs are clearly working hard. It's not creative or romantic--it is what it is. We had several solid items, left full, and that was the goal after seeing a movie. It was pretty quick, too.

We were seated at the bar area since the tables were occupied. The waitress was very quick and fast, setting us up with waters and chopsticks.

Sushi was fresh, I am a Saba fan so that's what I mostly ate. Uni was fresh, and Amaebi was good. Overall, if you want something fast, the wait wasn't long, (of course it'll change on the weekend) times would be long because of the seating, try this place out! We will be back!

Both were delicious. I particularly liked the Salmon Mango roll - it was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The rolls came with 8 pieces each and each piece was a good size, so it was plenty for two of us. I also got a Sapporo beer (bottle) to sip on.

The first time I went without a reservation, I was turned away immediately, so this time I made a reservation in advance. The food selection is actually quite diverse. Although the portions are not large, the quality is pretty good. I especially liked the wide variety of sushi options, and if you finish fifteen plates, you get a cute capsule toy prize. I ordered the basic ramen and sushi , and both were quite good. I would give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. The service was good as well. The only downside is that you really need a reservation, otherwise there will basically be no seats available. 每一盤都固定定價的旋轉壽司店,由於是連鎖店,所以可以感覺他們的制度設定已經完善了。第一次還沒有訂位,直接被勸退,這一次我訂位了。食物其實蠻多樣的,雖然量不多,但是其實蠻不錯的。尤其是多樣的壽司種類,加上滿十五盤就有可愛轉蛋贈品。我點了最基本的拉麵和壽司,蠻不錯的,我願意給予4.5/5顆星。服務不錯,就是必須要訂位,不然基本會沒有位子。

The place has a casual and fun ambiance, especially with the conveyor belt and train orders coming by. Prices are pretty standard, around four to six dollars per plate.
