The ambience and service here is spot on! I had a really pleasant time here listening to some good music (for once! most establishments have trash music taste). Old music videos I've never even seen before were playing which was cool. Though americanized, the sushi was good. The green tea we were served was delectable. Some recommendations for this business: 1.) It needs more sushi options. Almost everything on the menu is tempura-based, which made it kinda boring. More sushi featuring raw fish would improve the menu vastly. 2.) It needs a larger menu in general. I felt my options were very limited taste-wise which was kind of disappointing--though everything was delicious. If the business owner reads this, here are some roll ideas that would up the menu: Surfin' USA: raw tuna, yellowtail, salmon, wakame salad topped with sliced mango and spicy mayo Black betty: Smoked eel and cream cheese wrapped in black soy paper topped with scallop and black tobiko These are just two I came up with, but the theme of this restaurant holds SO much potential for interesting rolls based off of songs/bands. I really hope to see this restaurant spread its wings next time I visit. read more

Came in after the lunch crowd hour was over and the only other occupants was another 2 person party. Our server was also the bartender and she was very good at maintaining the bar and the restaurant. Sushi items on the menu is kind of limited and I really didn't see anything that I had to or must try. Both rolls that were ordered - Volcano Roll & The Experience Roll tasted good however were on a bit on the skinny side or just a little smaller than the average size roll. The TNT Shrimp appetizer was not greasy and a little different than the traditional Shrimp Tempura. Asked for all the sauces to be served on the side but the downside is the appetizer is served on a bed of lettuce not very appetizing when served under a hot item. Some of the booth tables have tv's in the them and music videos were playing on a loop throughout the time I was seated. Coke products for the win!!! read more

The first time I came here I got one of their seasonal desserts to go and wasn't thrilled. At the time they didn't have really any vegetarian options. I got a gift card so went back and they finally got an veggie roll on the menu, which was really good. Their cocktail was also good. I would come here again for drinks but probably not for food unless I was looking for something small. My boyfriend's meal was filling for him though read more

I found this rocking restaurant because of a near by hibachi place was closed unexpectedly, but it turned in my favor. If you like a Rock-N-Roll feel and love guitars, this place is for you!! Once I entered, I seen guitars and rock music playing and was turnt!! I ordered a small Steak & Rice entree with Yum Yum sauce and was joyed. I was craving steak and certainly got it! The hostess was very nice and the restaurant was clean. My service was about a 10 min wait once I walked in so I was pleased. The meal was good, peas in the fried rice was a little crunchy but it was still manageable to eat. I will definitely try this creative place again'! read more

Can you say yummy! I'm an avid sushi lover. My bf loves sushi too but is basic with his choices so I'm always venturing out to try all the different sushi spots around. This day I was out running errands and was picking up to go but that didn't change the quality of the meal. It was so so good. Their menu is pretty large and that can be good and bad but I eventually made a decision with what I wanted. I had the VIP roll and it was so good. I didn't call ahead so I went inside and ordered but it didn't take long for the order to be ready. Service was great and food was great. Have nothing bad to say! I will be back. read more

We were in town for few days and decided to hit up this restaurant nearby. Cool ambiance in this Rock n Roll haven sushi joint. Nice service, fast and friendly. The gyoza was delicious. My hubs had the volcano roll which he enjoyed and I tried the Velcro Pygmy roll. I thought it was good for what it is, filet and smoked salmon on top. Wasn't too crazy about the blue mayo on top but it def gives a neat and unique presentation. Recommend trying it and hopefully I'll be back to try some other unique items on the menu. read more

I went there with a friend, the sushi was just meh ... The service ( Chris ) Was wonderful. Overall a 2 star experience. read more

This place was just ok to me. Maybe because it was fairly brand new but it was just very overwhelming. The amount of people here on a Sunday night was insane. I got the kids hibachi and it was just ok, very bland and not much flavor even with the sauce on the side. The miso soup also lacked flavor too. The star of the show was the hall of fame brownie-me and my sisters definitely enjoyed it! I don't think I would just go back for that but I mean if someone asks me to go, I wouldn't say No, lol. Try it out if you're looking to try something new around town. read more

I would have to say that hands-down, this is the worst sushi/rolls I have ever had. We ordered rainbow rolls- which were 98% rice, a tiny little piece of fake crab in the middle and on the outside was a sliver of primarily avocado and the tiniest little thin, (and I mean like a millimeter sliver piece of fish.) I bet you there was not one sashimi sized piece of fish used inthat entire roll. I don't know how they can stay in business serving food like this. I will never go back. I also ordered two egg rolls for $8 and they gave us one roll cut in half. read more

This place is amazing. Super cute inside. Food is wonderful. Service could be better but either way.

More expensive than I anticipated, but the sushi is pretty good. Fresh ingredients, great presentation. Good service.

Not really a sushi place. More like the McDonalds of sushi places. The service was very good. read more

We popped in for lunch on a Sunday and tried the Unplugged and Sweet Home Alabama rolls with a miso soup side. All of the food was delicious and our server was very attentive. We loved watching the videos too! read more

I'm genuinely disappointed I love Rock N Roll sushi and frequent the location in Jonesville for lunch I even had them this past Saturday and it was amazing. The Clark Butler location left a lot to be desired. Portions are inconsistent compared to other locations and boy was everything far too salty. Head banger shrimp appetizer was salty and over cooked, the third stage nachos were also soooo salty we didn't eat more than a few bites. One of my favorites is the cucumber salad but it also was very underwhelming. The VIP roll was the only thing in my order that actually tasted good. Will stick to the Jonesville location in the future. I also included a picture to compare quality as well as quantity between the two locations. read more

With all the mixed reviews of the Newberry location I read about this place , I was worried I would be wasting my time and money here. We went to this new one on Archer Road next to Tijuana Flats I had a pleasant experience and would come back. We had crab wontons to start off and then I ordered the thriller sushi & my bf had the sunset strip sushi. Both rolls were $13.95 each and we had a coupon for free wontons . Everything was really good. Only downside of the night was that it took forever to get our food and there weren't that many people in the restaurant. The inside gives very warm throwback vibes. Great date night place or just meeting friends to catch up. Shoutout to our server Amaya , she was so kind and welcoming. We were missing Sus Hi Eat station and this is nothing like it but good sushi place around the area when we don't want to go to Bento. I will admit if the crab wontons weren't free because we had a coupon then the total would've been $39 so I don't know if I'll frequent here because for almost $40 we could get more food elsewhere. read more

I came here the third day they were open and I have to tell you I was really impressed. I work at Lowe's so it's a great place to come in on my lunch break or dinner break. The service was outstanding, and the food was equally as good, but there a nice little twist to sushi I must say it was better than I thought. I definitely will be returning here So if you're looking for a place are you a lunch or dinner break? This definitely is the place to go. read more

This place has some delicious sushi! The atmosphere is fantastic and the service is amazing. We came in late almost before they closed and our amazing server was so attentive and super nice. I opted for a more basic dish - the California roll - and it was delicious and the portion was filling. My partner was feeling more adventurous and opted for their nicer sushi and he loved it! Reasonable priced and their lunch menu is a good bargain! He also said that there were TVs in the men's bathroom which he loved! 10/10 recommend this place. read more

Great food and service. Server was attentive and always checking to see if we needed anything else. I recommend a visit!

Amazing service with amazing food!! Me and my partner were recently looking for a good sushi place to frequent and we decided to give rock n roll a go! Needless to say we chose right! We had Luca as a server and from the get go we were treated with AMAZING service! Drinks were constantly filled No long waits at all Server was stellar!! 10/10 read more

they really committed to the vibe in here. there are TVs all over the walls, at each booth, even in the bathroom lol. they play rock music with music videos which is fun. our server abigail was on top of everything she was great. we got the stage divers (chicken bites) to start. it came with three sauces (spicy mayo, sweet chili, and some ginger/miso?). they were super good. we also split the shooting star roll, spicy crawfish roll, & volcano roll. the spicy crawfish roll was good just pretty standard. the shooting star roll was plated beautiful and was very unique! i need to come back to try the dessert it looks insane. read more

Meh...I mean, I guess it's a cool chain but it's overpriced and the portions are small. I even called ahead of time and mentioned that the portions looks small on the menu photos but was told that they are really big and filling... They are not. One of the rolls we got was pretty good but the other was covered in fish scales and tasted very fishy. Not a groove. The kids meal portions were minuscule and our boy was still hungry. The bill was almost $70 and we had to eat more afterward to get full. The concept and idea is good but...it's not working and is way too expensive without the quality being there. There's so much good local sushi everywhere, so if you're going to do a chain sushi place you better rock it hard. read more

Love the music, love the food, love the atmosphere, love the staff (especially Luca! He was phenomenal!!) Definitely coming back and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some good eats! I especially liked the jalapeño poppers and the groupie roll. They also offer roll customization!! read more

Luca took care of is on Saturday. Great vibe and great food. Glad we found this place.

Went here for dinner multiple times. Had Luca as our server most of those times and honestly it was the best service I've ever received. Friendly attitude, superb food (delivery times and overall wait time), and just overall felt like longtime friends. I highly recommend Rock 'n' Roll Sushi for any type of meal and for it's amazing atmosphere and super friendly staff! Will come again soon! read more

Food and service was great , rice was a little bit different but was still really good

Holy actual crap I have never been to a place that got everything right. The ambiance is awesome and there's a ton of decorative pieces that are fantastic combinations of upper class restaurant mixed with 70's 80's and 90's rock! The sushi (I had the electric roll) was actually amazing, the electric roll was balanced fantastically with savory sweet spicy and refreshing all at the right amount at the same time! I've been to almost every place in Gainesville that serves sushi and this place wins! And that's including expensive Asian places! Sushi matsuri and Dragonfly eat your heart out! The service was fantastic too, our waiter was Luka and that was one of the best experiences I've had with staff! I will 100% be bringing my friends and my parents here too! read more

horrible service. forgot half of my food and the other half was wrong on my online order. not impressed
