good sushi and excellent wine list  4 Star Rating - Very good

This restaurant is good for group gathering. It has a lot of sake for customer to taste and the sushi are fresh. The price is reasonable not cheap but not expensive. It is about average. The service is excellent. I will go back to eat at this restaurant again!

Fishy  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

This has to be the worst sushi restaurant in town. They have this kind of fun looking atmosphere that looks like a fun local place (clearly not a tourist restaurant) but the food is terrible. Everything tastes the same and mostly tastes fishy. If you aren't a sushi fan than you're probably thinking, "well, it is fish." But good fish shouldn't taste fishy.

They also seem to use very low-grade fish. Sure, you probably won't get sick, but it is like the kind of sushi that you'd get for an all you can eat night in Vegas.

Not a place for sushi  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

A big disappointment. This place ... to be fair, the decoration and all the containers are nice. Music and big TV are the plus. HOWEVER, this is not a place for good sushi. Good for group gathering and for drinks ONLY. Again, NOT a place for sushi.

$15 for a mango spider roll? Fried oysters mostly flour and a very small oyster inside?

If you are looking for a hip place to gather and drink, this can be a choice. They have happy hour from 3:30 to 6:30 that all drinks are 50% off and appertizers are 25% off. Good for drinking. But, if you are looking for a place for good sushi, don't go to Sushi Rock.

PROS: Decoration and Containers
CONS: Not a place for sushi. Too pricey also.

Great delivery 4 Star Rating - Very good

I have only had delivery, but it comes really quickly, it's hot and the food is yummy. I eat baby sushi (cooked stuff) but it was all delicious and so was the gyoza, the deep fried shrimp wrapped in bacon, the tamago and the chicken donburi. The only thing I wish they had was white meat in the donburi and chicken tempura!

Pros: Quick delivery and open kind of late

good sushi and wine list 4 Star Rating - Very good

I went to this restaurant a lot of times. I love the sushi there and a lot of choice of sake for customer to taste. They have excellent service and good for group dining. In addition, they open late and reasonable price! I always recommend my friends to eat at his place!

Just Average 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

My friend took me to this Japanese restaurant last Thursday night. Comparing to the Japanese restaurant in Japan town, this one is just average. The food is acceptable, but not as good as I expect.. Maybe I need to come back to this place to give it another try.

Pros: Valet parking

Good sushi 5 Star Rating - World class

I love Sushi Rock and eat here all the time. It has great specialty rolls. Friendly service and the atmosphere is upbeat. Gets packed at dinnertime. What's also really great about Sushi Rock is it delivers. The Ice cream here is really good.

Pros: delivers! good sushi, friendly service
Cons: slightly overpriced for what it is

What happened to this place 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I remember 3-4 years ago this place served some pretty good sushi. Recently, I have had some really crappy stuff their. The last two times I ordered the fish was skinny and a little dryed out and the fried stuff seemed like it was prepared a half an hour early, as it wasn't crunchy or fresh. Did they get new owners or something?
