| - We went on a Saturday night around 6. We didn't make reservations, but we were seated immediately. The restaurant was ~60% full.
One of the things I immediately liked was the decor. The place was decorated in a modern sleek style with 2-story backlit windows with pictures of NYC in them. Cool and swank. What I didn't like was the blaring techno. Now, I get that its called sushi ROCK, but the music was so loud I couldnt hear my friends across the table, and neither could anyone else. Result: About 50 people screaming over each other and the music. This is not a place to take your date, but if its you and some young friends hanging out, OK.
Our waiter came after about 2 minutes and explained the menu and ordering system to us. We started off with the lamb and risotto appetizer to appease my lamb fanatic of a friend. It was tender and well cooked, but the risotto was a tad too buttery. But for a sushi place, not bad.
We decided to order 5 or 6 different sushi/sashimi dishes to split among the 3 of us as our "entree". It took about 15 minutes for them to come out, which isnt terrible. The spicy tuna roll was pretty good. There was a good amount of tuna and it wasnt overpowered by mayo, which I appreciate. Definitely not the best I've ever tasted, but better than most Cleveland sushi places. We also tried the "Pretty Woman" large roll, intrigued by the interesting combo of salmon and kiwi. Unfortunately, there was so much rice there was no way you could pop one roll in your mouth, so we were forced to eat each in 2 bites which sucks because you cant enjoy the flavors simultaneously. Additionally, the amount of salmon in the roll was what I would expect for a roll half the size. I think the theory behind the roll was great, but the execution was slipshod at best.
The tuna sashimi was OK. It was fresh, but not particularly flavorful and I probably wouldn't buy it again. The same could be said for the rainbow roll. It wasnt horrible, but with the exception of the salmon, the other fish was not that flavorful.
After we finished our sushi, we waited about 10 minutes before the waitress came with the desert menu, which is ridiculous imho. Nonetheless, the options were explained and we ended up ordering a slice of chocolate cake to split. It was a HUGE slice, and we were glad we decided to only get one dessert to split. The cake was pretty good. It was moist, chocolatety and warm, a tad sweet for my liking, but my friends didn't think so. It was a nice end to the meal.
Overall, I give Sushi Rock an A-OK 3. The food, while not spectacular, was good. I left full and moderately satisfied. My advice would be: (1) pass on the large rolls...theyre just regular rolls with extra rice and (2) This is probably not the place to go if you want to have any kind of a conversation.
