    Spicy crunchy shrimp roll
    Jenifer D.

    Tucked into the heart of downtown Birmingham, Rock & Roll Sushi brings bold flavors and a fun vibe, but be warned: parking can be a bit of a gamble. With only street parking available, you're at the mercy of downtown traffic and meter luck--but if you can snag a spot, it's worth it for a casual sushi fix with some standout moments. My friend went with the Spicy Shrimp Roll, which delivered on both heat and portion size. The pieces were huge--almost too generous, as each bite was a structural challenge. Still, the flavors were on point, and the freshness of the shrimp came through with a satisfying kick. I ordered the Appetizer Sampler, which was a mixed bag. The jalapeño poppers were surprisingly good--crispy on the outside, spicy and creamy on the inside, with a bonus touch of crab meat that elevated them. The egg rolls, however, missed the mark completely. They had a gamey or just "off" flavor that made them hard to enjoy. On the flip side, the crispy crab wontons were easily the star of the night--perfectly crunchy with a spicy, creamy center that had me wishing the whole sampler was just a basket of those. The dumplings were fine--not memorable, but decent if you're craving something savory and warm. Final Thoughts: Rock & Roll Sushi isn't a place for delicate, traditional sushi--this is big, bold, American-style sushi with a rock vibe and some serious hits (and a couple of misses). Just come hungry, bring patience for parking, and whatever you do--don't skip the crab wontons.

    Spicy Crawfish Roll

    Wanted lunch somewhere close after a meeting I had at the hospital and came here. Walking distance from UAB. Lots of good seats and drink specials daily. I got the spicy crawfish roll and it was great! Service was always fast. Made for the perfect lunch break.

    Definitely rockin! Blazer Roll is incredible! Avocado, Yellowtail, sweet chili sauce, jalapeño, spicy mayo, Sriracha and tobiko on top with crab, cucumber, and cream cheese inside. Wow. Texture and flavor combo is amazing! Rockin music with music videos on the TVs brings me back to the good ole 90's. Thank you, nostalgia. Parking on the street is easy. Service is fast and friendly. I'll be back

    We really enjoyed our lunch here! The service was excellent and the food came out fast. It really exceeded my expectations.

    I'm going to be honest and say I was not expecting to enjoy this food the way I did. When I think of Birmingham I don't think excellent sushi, but this was so good. I'm a sucker for hibachi style food so I had to try the fried rice etc - BOMB!

    Shrimp with Fried Rice

    I would give it better than three stars if the filet mignon had been medium rare instead of well done. We ordered Filet Mignon and Shrimp Hibachi and the steak was way overcooked.

    Fresh salmon inside topped with spicy Mayo and "eel sauce is soy sauce, white sugar,Japanese sweet wine"

    I had a great dinner here and can't wait to try more of their menu when I return. Foodies (like…read moremyself) will enjoy this place, from the vibes to the details in decor, food, and service. And I express my thanks to my servers and bartenders, who were not only attentive in service, but also offered recommendations which led me to a great dining experience. In short, I had the following: -dry-aged Shima Ahi crudo ( flew in from Japan) -a Mordella sandwich, and -peach fried pie. My wine pairing for my dishes was a California Albariño, which was a great surprise. I'm now searching for this winemaker to add bottles to my cellar. Every dish I tried was my favorite in its own way. Each meal was well-balanced and highlighted the flavors of every ingredient. The mortadella sandwiches featured a playful twist with Cobia fish, and the house-made focaccia bread, where the mortadella and Cobia spread are nestled, was truly what focaccia dreams are made of. Plus the garlic aioli for the fries is money !!! And the peach fried hand pie was the perfect end to a great meal. The aromatics of caramelized glaze comes across like it might be super sweet. But when you bit into the flaky buttermilk pastry crust it gave it a warm, humble feeling with the perfectly diced peaches pie filling adding the right touch of sweetness. And as a special treat, this hand pie is paired with a sour cream-lemon sorbet which I didn't know I needed in my life that was refreshing. The peach fried pie is a seasonal dessert, so enjoy it while you can. Overall, the ambiance and music were spot on making it a vibe that you definitely want to come for dinner or just enjoy cocktails which looked really yummy( but that's for another time ). The unique decor, with a mix of midcentury meets fisherman lighting and a crowned octopus handles tap beer, was a lovely detail when you get to sit back and enjoy. Even the plateware where food sits on is crafted by a local Bham female artisan at Civil Stoneware, is a nice touch ( which I was obsessed with ). I hope your experience is as great as mine. Happy dining y'all!

We were the only Black couple in the restaurant. Was that the reason? I can't say for certain. What I can say is that we watched every other table receive attentive service while we were repeatedly overlooked. We paid for our drinks and left because we refuse to support a restaurant where service is this poor.

We were seated promptly handed menus and about 30 seconds later approached by the waitress for drink orders. We asked for a drink menu as there was nothing to advertise what drinks they were serving. She returned with 1 drink menu for all 3 of us and stood there waiting until we decided. We asked for some time so she left and returned about 2 mins later. We ordered drinks and she returned 2 mins later to take our food order. We ordered appetizers, salad and main courses. The drinks came quickly, the salads came right after and then about 3 mins later, the appetizers came out. 3 mins after that, the main courses arrived so we had plates stacked everywhere on the table and quickly tried to finish our salads and appetizers before the main dish got cold. The waitress never returned to the table until she brought the bill. The plates were all cleared by someone else. We saw her leave a bill at the table next to us and wait until they checked it over and figured out a payment method, so when she arrived at our table we just handed her a credit card. The food was average but the overall experience was terrible. I realize she was probably new and this may have been her first night but some training would go a long way! For $180 dinner, we expected a lot more.

    Phenomenal dining experience!!…read more Service was top notch from the hostess and host, our waiter and all of the runners. Attentive without being obnoxious, in depth explanations of items on the menu with great recommendations! We started with a half dozen raw oysters and the pork belly. Oysters were very fresh and the seasoned crackers were a nice touch. The pork belly was quite possibly the best we've ever had and we're slight snobs about it. The fennel and orange mixture was a unique blend that really complemented the smokiness of the pork belly, Our steaks were melt in your mouth good. Cooked perfectly! I wished I could've just taken a massive bowl of the macaroni and cheese home. The char on the broccolini balanced the richness of the macaroni. They were sadly out of the crème brûlée, so instead I had the vanilla and peach gelato, while my husband had the chocolate l'orange cake. The vanilla gelato had the perfect rich vanilla taste. The peach didn't taste much like peach, but the flavor was still good. The cake was light and fluffy with a great balance of chocolate and orange. The candied orange peel on top was a nice touch! The atmosphere is pretty busy so it was louder than I was expecting.

It's spectacular every time. The rotating menu keeps things fresh and interesting, and every dish we've had has been thoughtfully prepared and consistently excellent. The kitchen is clearly doing something special and it's a big reason we keep coming back. This visit, however, the service was unusually slow. Our dinner lasted about two hours (7:30-9:30) on a night that didn't seem particularly busy. There was a noticeable lull in the dining room with quite a few open tables, yet it still took nearly 40 minutes between finishing our appetizers and receiving our main courses. The pacing just felt off compared to past visits. Valet (which I understand isn't directly run by the restaurant) was also a bit slow -- about a 15 minute wait to get our car at the end of the night. All that said, Armour House is still a really special spot with incredible food and we'll absolutely be back. Sharing this feedback because we've had such great experiences here before and hope this was just an off night.
