| - I've probably walked by this place hundreds of times and never once thought to come here. Until my friend said we're coming here for all you can eat (AYCE) lunch on a Sunday.
Sushi Rock probably could seat about 30-40 people max and when we got here around 12:30 on a Sunday, it was only the four of us and 2 other tables. We ordered quickly, but the food took a really long time to come.
The quality was fairly on par with other AYCE sushi places. The price is $23.99 any time, lunch or dinner; with an extra $2 on the weekends. Most AYCE places I have been to costs extra at dinner because that's when they offer sashimi, but not with Sushi Rock, they offer sashimi any time of day. For that, I think the price is well justified.
My friends and I also tried to order the "Black Pearl Roll" which is listed on their AYCE ordering sheet. The menu says it's a roll with shrimp and salmon tempura, along with avocado, cucumber, and cream cheese, topped with BBQ eel and black caviar. The black pearl roll never came though, because we ordered it twice and both times we were brought black dragon rolls. When they brought us the second one, I sent it back and told them we never order it, they brought back the same roll and told use they only serve the black pearl roll for a la carte orders. This left me quite peeved because the black pearl roll was clearly an option for AYCE.
I super tempted to give it a 2* also because of the servers attitudes. I tried to flag a server down but was not being acknowledged. When my friend politely said "excuse me" to a server whose hands were full, we did not expect her to tend to us right away, but just acknowledge that we are trying to get her attention. What she actually did was giving us the worst side eye I have been given in recent times, when all she had to say was "I'll be there in a second" (or similar).
What I am happy about this place is the dragon on fire roll (that actually did take forever to come), and the sashimi offered at any time for AYCE. The price isn't that bad either.
