| - This place is alright. I've ordered sushi, udon, and takoyaki from here. It's a bit pricey, but not very remarkable. This is one of those trendy Asian food places that pop up here and there, but they might be pushed out of business with places like Sakanaya or Sushi Kame. Sushi Rock has a nice, clean environment with hip decorations and a kpop/jpop mix going on in the background.
The sushi is alright, but nothing really special. It's better than Sushi Ichiban no doubt, but compared to other sushi joints, the price isn't worth it. The udon is nice and the broth is warming, so I would recommend that. Mine came with vegetable and shrimp tempura, which were delicious! My only complaint with dining in is that the service, while friendly, can be a bit forgetful and you have to remind them you need water or your bill so they know you're there.
The takoyaki was awful and a total ripoff though. I was picking up a snack between classes and paid a little over $4 for four lukewarm, shriveled up ping pong balls covered in sauce and a little bit of green onion. They were soggy and the little octopus bit was chewy like a wad of gum and tasted bland. I'm pretty sure they're the frozen kind you buy at Asian markets and you can buy a large bag to microwave at home for a better price.
Of course, it's conveniently located on Green Street so it's close to campus and convenient for hungry students who would rather forego the even more overpriced and poor quality of Sushi San in the Union basement.
