I feel like Sushi Rock has been in the Yonge/Eglinton neighborhood forever and I don't quite know how to explain this almost inexplicable longevity.
Sushi Rock's food isn't bad, necessarily. It's better than grocery-store sushi but it's also a far cry from some of the better sushi-specific restaurants in the city.
Anyway, we arrived relatively late on a Thursday night and were seated next to an obnoxiously loud table. Not the best start.
We decided to go with the all-you-can-eat menu and began picking a number of different options to try. The food started coming out quickly, and it was all...fine, I guess. It was competent.
(The hand rolls, usually my favorite item to order, were surprisingly terrible, however. I think this can be attributed to the lackluster quality of Sushi Rock's rice, which is far too dense and chewy.)
Service was also just barely adequate, although our waitress forgot to bring one of our items and took a long time taking our order for the second round.
