| - I'm not a sushi connoisseur by any means. But I do love a plate of salmon. Sashimi, nigiri, or maki, that's usually what I order. Occasionally I'll get tuna. I've tried a few other varieties, but I just stick with my favorite. And I know that what they serve is farmed, not wild caught, but I haven't seen a place that has wild salmon in Ohio. They have an excellent "beef sushi" appetizer, which is good enough to be a light entree if you ask me.
I'm a bit surprised by how many poor reviews they get on this site, because I think the quality of the food is pretty good, and it's a more upscale place than a lot of places that serve sushi. I hear you can't get amazing sushi in the midwest like you can find on the coasts, so maybe I'm not the best judge, but for the region I haven't found a place I like better. Sushi Rock is a better value when it's their half off night. Unfortunately it's always packed on half off night, because everyone knows that's when you go. So you get reservations, it's packed, noisy, the service is slow. But you can eat a LOT of sushi for a pretty reasonable bill.
I really preferred the downtown location, mainly for the convenience of where it's located relative to me. But it's closed for some reason, and I'm not sure when/if it will re-open again. I've eaten at the Richmond Road location a few times, as well, and they're pretty comparable.
At the downtown location, I had been stopping there pretty regularly, and rather than mess with reservation I'd sit at the bar and order a la carte. The same server was covering this area and got to know me, and because I tipped especially well, after that I got extra nice treatment from her. If you think the service isn't good there, maybe try tipping better, or going when they're not slammed. If you cant afford that, sorry but you do get what you pay for.
