I had low expectations for Rock n Roll Sushi but was actually quite pleased with their popular cooked sushi roll! I ordered takeout so I can't speak to service or ambiance but I enjoyed my one roll (I didn't try anything raw). As far as the steak and hibachi rice, I didn't love it. The steak was tough and the rice lacked flavor. read more

Sushi chain in landlocked Tennessee - my fault for thinking it would be better. I was definitely brought in by the cool name, exciting menu, and fun decor. All of those things delivered 100%, but the food didn't hit the mark. First, skip the potstickers. They are downright gross. They came drenched in sauce - not sure what it was - and clearly frozen from a box. No part of them were good. The volcano roll was fun - heavy on the sauce, which was the downfall. I think if they would have went lighter on the sauce, it would have felt a bit more as expected. But, I think the sauciness was part of the ambiance and the rock-n-roll excess. The flavors were good, but I would have appreciated something a bit more refined. read more

I called my order in and the bubbly energy from the server confirmed the right choice for dinner. My sushi rolls were delicious and filling. The extra sauces were all in the bag as requested. The place was busy and initially it was confusing on where to pick up orders. But I went to the bar and my food was ready for payment and pick up. I would definitely come back an it's clear the place is a crowd pleaser. Plenty of parking so I was in and out. My thriller roll a spicy crab roll was really delicious. Can't wait to try their menu. read more

I mean what do you expect from a sushi chain? Even though Music City is hardly a Japanese hotspot, most sushi joints in Nashville can execute pretty impressive dishes. And almost nobody can mess up unagi nigiri (eel sushi). Well, unfortunately Rock N Roll completely botched it! Serving dry eel with no eel sauce? Mystery meat that looked way past its prime and may not have even been eel? Really? Yuck! Even the shrimp and yellowtail nigiri weren't made correctly. The ginger tasted like it was expired, and once they bring you a glass of water don't ever expect them to fill it up (not once, not even after two hours while catching up with friends)! The Thriller Roll is equally unimpressive, although a rare highlight was the Cajun-seasoned crawfish that came with it. The roll was pleasantly crispy. But the taste? Nope. And more stale ginger in a very, very small quantity? Oof. All this for over $50 before the tip? Come on, you've got to do better than that! read more

The sashimi and pot stickers were tasty. The service was so genuine and welcoming. We were served our sushi so quick we couldn't believe it. The hostess brought us our food and refilled our drinks with no hassle. The vibes were relaxing and unique. I've got to pick up one of their tees just like a concert tour. read more

The service, location, and ambiance are top tier. They even have outside patio seating next door at cantado. The food was mid, and edible. I have had better fried rice frozen from Sam's club. I have tried different items on a few separate occasions because the location is so close to me, and I'm always unimpressed. The vegetarian sushi roll was disrespectful it was avocado, salad, seaweed and rice. They could've added cucumbers carrots onions anything but a salad in a Sushi roll. That came on a bed of salad. My soup tasted like seasoned metal pot water. The place was beautiful though and I believe they have drinks. read more

I was in the area and craving sushi after a long day so I thought I'd give it a try. My server was nice and knowledgeable but the speed of service for the restaurant overall was terribly slow. I was a party of one and upon my arrival the time to be acknowledged/greeted, seated and for someone to take my drink order (not even food) took entirely too long (I'd say at least 20 minutes). My server did apologize for the wait but these things set the tone of the experience for me and this is where it fell short. Maybe they prioritize large parties over small ones but at one point I even considered leaving. Sushi was decent but I would not go back. read more

The sushi is low quality and the food is subpar and it's expensive for barely anything . I do not recommend this place for sushi. I've eaten there before and the food's a little bit better when you're there in person but when I had it delivered to my house and I live pretty close by it just didn't taste good. It didn't taste fresh. The miso soup didn't even have a single piece of tofu in it. The thriller roll tasted overcooked had zero flavor, despite being covered in spicey mayo. It was dry and I had to soak it in soy sauce, and it still had no flavor. The Nigiri and regular sushi were on par with possible grocery sushi. I would not eat here again. there are times when I give low reviews because the customer service is bad but rarely do I have to give low reviews because the food is just so bad that it's not even worth eating let alone paying for. read more

Read reviews saw pics and wanted to try. Place was busy and crowded. Few servers which explains the delay. Ordered spicey edaname which was not cooked completely. Needed spices, even salt would have been ok. Husband ordered miso soup asked for pepper didn't get it till we asked again and he had finished his soup when we finally got the pepper. Had a salad with good ginger dressing. Very good. Ordered rainbow roll, rock n roll roll with lobster...very good. Ordered volcano roll was just ok. Didn't care for the sauce they used. Ordered steak habachi , steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, Our server was good but I believe a bit overwhelmed. Bussing tables, greeting customers, serving all of it. Felt bad . We had a long wait on our food but he was good and not his fault. Everyone was working hard, they need more staff. The hostess was wiping tables. Perhaps another time might be better read more

People that work there are great sushi is what you'd expect from a chain restaurant but just know they will nickle and dime you to death. I was charged an 8% fee for takeout when I came in and was sat at the bar and had a drink and asked for my food in boxes instead of eating there having them wash dishes just so I could get my food out in a box because I wouldn't have eaten it all. I tipped and everything and just randomly noticed the fee which I thought was weird. So said something about it on their own personal reviewing system they got back to me and in my opinion were a little on the rude side. I'll put pictures in this review and you can read for yourself and decide on your own. I will definitely always ask for boxes after they bring a plate just to save a bs fee read more

Gabe was Awesome! Got us in and out on a tight time schedule and recommended wonderful options.

The love spell drink was fabulous. The spicy tuna over crispy rice was very good. However, the head banger shrimp was the highlight. Very good! The service was excellent. The server was on point, attentive and nice. 10 out of 10 I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Great concept, cute dining area, fantastic service and really good food! A great place to grab sushi in Donelson

Sub par sushi, our pick up order was :45 minutes delayed and they seemed very flustered. It was peak Friday night dinner time so not sure if they were understaffed or just busy. Wasn't worth the wait, but my friends got fried rice/teriyaki and they liked it. read more

Tried the food again because I saw the owner responded. I didn't reach out to them because I decided to try them again I'm quite happy with that decision. Our order was perfect like it use to be!!! Tysm ngl I missed the food! read more

This was just opened! It's feels like a club with huge TV screens playing music videos. As for the food, they have a huge menu: sushi, habachi, and appetizers.

I really wanted to love this spot and prove the poor reviews wrong. Donelson needs a spot like this and I just wish it were a bit better. Service was good, space was clean, sushi was ok, hibachi was somehow off. I'm have eaten the same selections a another location and here there was some kind of flavor in the fried rice and hibachi sauce I did not love. read more

I treated my daughter from Colorado here over the Christmas break, and she loved it. She got the VIP roll fried and I got the shrimp and chicken bowl. I don't even eat sushi, but this was really good. The ambiance is inviting with the music. The service was good, and the restroom was clean. I will definitely visit again. read more

We craved some sushi and wanted someplace close on our way to the movies and this place was our only choice. We have been here a few times and it is hit or miss on service and food. We ordered........ TNT Shrimp - suppose to have some bang but ended up being very sweet Fried rice - was soggy, it tasted more like brown rice than fried rice Shrimp Tempera Roll Super Crunch Roll California Roll These rolls just tasted odd. The service seemed off too. Next time, we will stick to our usual sushi place. read more

We ordered a plain CA Roll, Ramen, and the Pyro Roll. All were pretty bad. Everything tasted over cooked and/or had strange flavor combinations. My miso soup was so small and lacked the typical tofu pieces and green onions. Not worth the price. When we opened our menus, they were sticky and had food in them... The booths also moved. When the person sat behind me, i got shoved into my table... Our server was incredibly kind, but was the only server as they started getting busy. We had to wait a while for our check. We were skeptical about this place, but wanted to try it since it's so close to our house. We eat a lot of sushi and unfortunately, this place was a complete miss. read more

Interesting concept, just wish they wouldn't rely on the cheapest ingredients to center their rolls around. Service was great, food was meh

I was so honored to be invited to the soft opening of this brand new spot in Donelson and was not disappointed! The second you walk in you're greeted by music videos, neon, and super kind staff. The service was quick and efficient, plus the servers knew their stuff really well for the first night they were open. We had sushi rolls, tuna tataki, and shared a hibachi chicken. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to visit again! So happy to have this spot in our neighborhood. read more

Rock N Roll Sushi's sushi tastes like what you get at the grocery store with slightly better rice. I ordered the rainbow roll, jam sesh roll, 2 salmon nigiri and 2 yellowtail nigiri (even though I received flounder, not yellowtail) to go. The salmon tasted soapy, not fresh, tuna was bright red, and the rolls were majority rice. Super disappointing considering the word "sushi" is in their name. Guess this is what I get for having a craving for sushi later at night and this is the only place open... read more

Atmosphere is always amazing. Think hard rock restaurant (done right) merged with your favorite sushi joint. Service is alway phenomenal. Crispy Crab Wontons are amazing, just like regular crab Rangoons, but in chip form. Today we tried the Jalapeño poppers, they are amazing! Stuffed with cream cheese and crab - a MUST try. I always get the VIP roll and my mom always gets the Sweet Home Alabama roll-both are great. read more

OMG! My new favorite place when I'm staying at a hotel by the airport!! The location and exterior leave so much disappointment to be expected even the name but do NOT be fooled!! This place is a SLEEPER!! They have a full bar with a diverse menu offering salads, hibachi, and sushi! I got a sided of hibachi vegetables for $5 that were literally the absolute best I've ever had!!! I'm not even joking! They were fresh vegetables well seasoned with a bit of crunch still left ooooo so good! I also got the tuna appetizer (not the tuna tataki) and it was impressive. It was literally a softball of tuna. Although it was not cubes of tuna like I was expecting it was more minced like in a spicy tuna roll it had excellent flavor! My husband ordered several sushi rolls and was pleased with flavor however he was knocked off his feet like I was. The price was a little high to meet his expectations. However I would highly recommend! read more
