I don't eat out as often as I used to, and haven't been to Rock-n-Sake in who knows how long, but I felt like revisiting them recently. I sat at the bar and had a little sake while I waited on my to-go order to be ready. The staff was friendly and relatively attentive, so my experience there was a good one. I ordered extra food, and including drinks and tip, spent close to $100. However, when I got home I was slightly disappointed with a couple of things in my order. In my humble opinion, the "monthly roll" or specialty roll that I decided to try, while very tasty, was a little small considering the price. The only other complaint that I had was that I ordered the sashimi platter... 21 pieces of fish, and this came with no ginger or wasabi at all. I don't like feeling as if I have to check my to-go order before I walk out of a restaurant, but sometimes oversights like this make me wish that I had. Otherwise, I've rarely had less than a fine experience at Rock-n-Sake. read more

I came here for lunch one day with a friend. I ordered the Crunchy Dynamite roll, the Spicy Tuna roll, and the Chicken Teriyaki Hibachi lunch. The rolls were absolutely delicious. There is not a critical thing I can say about them. The chicken teriyaki hibachi was delicious and the salad that came with it was delicious as well. Now the not so great. The service was slow and absent minded. And the fried rice that came with the hibachi lunch wasn't at all what I am used to at hibachi places. I cook fried rice at home sometimes (and I'm not a great cook) and this fried rice LITERALLY tasted exactly like the fried rice I make at home...but with too much pepper. Next time, I'll save the upcharge for the fried rice and stick to steamed. I can't do anything about the service, so minus 1 star. read more

Best sushi place in Baton Rouge. Fun atmosphere. Bar and dining area. May be considered on the pricier side by some but seems about right for me. You'll have to park under the bridge although there are several handicap parking places on side if you need them. Would I drive way across town to come here if I didn't already live close? YES. read more

Rock-n-Sake Bar & Sushi - Salmon Zest Roll. Delish! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Today, I stopped in for the lunch special. While the roll I got was very tasty, there are a number of things I was a little disappointed with. First of all, there is a lot of parking behind the building, which is nice, but a little confusing to access if you do not know the area. Google actually took me straight to the parking lot, and it took me a few minutes to figure out where the restaurant actually is. Once inside the restaurant, I noticed that the servers were very casual, and a little too laissez-faire for my taste. They weren't rude. They just weren't very mindful of my time constraints, i.e. not walking over when I am clearly waiting to order or pay the bill. It didn't seem very busy either. As far as the food goes: it's typical chain restaurant quality. The miso soup had the consistency and look of old dish water and was pretty much flavorless. The cucumber "salad" was just cucumber covered in soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame seeds. The LSU was actually very tasty, but very small for a $14 roll. Maybe it was smaller because it was part of the lunch special, but it made me thankful that I didn't spend the extra money on a regular roll. For all I know, all their sushi could be that skimpy, and it wasn't a good first impression. read more

Ordered $80 dollars worth of food and didn't receive the right order. I called and the manager argued about what I ordered.

The BEST sushi in Baton Rouge! We got the sushi king cake for dinner; it was the perfect way to start the Mardi Gras season! 10/10 recommend ordering one! read more

I've always loved this restaurant! They have fantastic food, service, and environment. I stopped in Friday for lunch and overheard the manager talking about a sushi king cake. He said they normally require 24hrs notice when I asked if I could order one that night for my "Galentines" party with my girlfriends but he came through for me! It was a huge hit and everyone loved how unique it was. There was the right amount of sauce and flavors for everyone to share and the 6 of us devoured it. read more

Went to Rock N Sake for my birthday (I go every year) it has always been amazing. The sushi took forever to come out, we started at 7 and got our food at 825 the bartender was waiting our table of 12 as well as a bar of 10+ guest. We had to remind them to bring the cake out to the table before the checks the cake came out smashed and completely messed up. This would of never happened under Freddy Vs management. No apology or anything from management. Edit: they did apologize after the checks came out and we were leaving. Good damage control read more

My first time here and I left with a great impression. Food food, good location, nice place, good music, great service. I came to this place for lunch and ordered the special for $13 + taxes and includes a salad (home salad with creamy mango dressing is very tasty!!) + soup (miso soup is delicious!) + 1 or 2 rolls depending on what you choose)... it is a Full meal and everything was excellent. Good portions. I ordered LSU roll and it was delicious, avocado, shrimp and salmon... I was very satisfied with it and the dishes are presented in a very creative way. The presentation is beautiful and it tastes fresh. Sushi is usually a little more pricey than other "lunch" options, but definitely this is a good option if you at looking for a nice little place to eat and talk in a nice environment. There is 50% off on wine bottles and cocktails during dinner, I will go back and try that! I recommend this place, even if you don't really know what to order, the stuff is super nice and I'm sure they would explain what to expect from each dish. I'll be back! read more

The hostess advised there would be a 30 to 45 minute wait when she wouldn't seat one person at a four top. I chose then to go to the sushi bar where I was greeted immediately by the sushi chef and 10 minutes later by someone who wanted to know if I had been helped. After realizing the hostess had not advised my server was supposed to great me, I asked to be moved to the four top and again was advised it was for a party of at least two people and it was impossible. I was not comfortable at the sushi bar and pressed without the server budging even after being advised that it was open and there were no reservations or wait, I then asked if there was anywhere else and the waiter immediately spotted a two top I could be sat at. The new server came 10 minutes again after I had been sat and took my drink order, 15 minutes go by and I finally get the cocktail, immediately order because I didn't want to keep waiting, 15 minutes go by and the server advised that the kitchen was backed up so it would be a while, I order another drink and wait, wait, continue to wait, 10 minutes later drink comes, 13 minutes after this the food comes, from order to table this is 36 minutes for food with 5 sushi chefs on staff and the restaurant not incredibly filled with people waiting for their food. 9 minutes later I have finished eating three rolls and no check back from the server. 8 minutes go by and when she comes to pick up my plate I hand her my card immediately, because heaven knows when I would see her again. Overall stay was under 1 and half hour and I ate a total of 9 minutes. $70 bill. One person. Inattentive waiter, bartender, sushi chef and oblivious hostess to the open table. I hadn't been here since a few years before the pandemic. Won't make the same mistake again. Ticket was 6:55 order time and 7:51 cash out. not counting the time I waited to be asked for order. To add to this, the waitress when she told me the kitchen was backed up suggested I order an appetizer, as if it would have been made any faster than the meal. Literally three uncomplicated sushi rolls and 36 minutes, they were not great, not worth the money and the service was every bit of what I just described. read more

A bit pricey for my unpaid intern budget but well worth it! I ordered through postmates and my order tasted so fresh like I was at the restaurant! I had the LSU roll and the volcano roll. I loved that they put the sauce on the side so it didn't turn into a huge mess. You'll see it the pictures that they also put the spicy crab topping on the side for the volcano roll which also kept everything nice and neat! I hate...HATE though when the put the sauce container on top of my roll, it seems unsanitary. So they lost a star for that. I can't wait to dine in with them ! read more

I Love going to rock n sake! I like the ambiance there a lot and like the music. I will say the music can sometimes be a bit too which I guess is the point but I wouldn't recommend going for really big groups. I went with two of friends and it was delicious!!! Everything was so fresh and our waitress was very nice! read more

Love these guys! Super cool staff and top of the line sushi. Parking a bit tricky but worth it.

I ordered the LSU Roll (Now called the tiger roll) and the garlic salmon roll. The LSU/ Tiger roll was freaking awesome, but the garlic salmon roll was out of this world amazing!!!! The wasabi couldn't have been more perfect, my service was great I had a beer within 3 minutes of sitting down, everybody was friendly and smiling and having a good time.

I don't know why sushi places think clear soup isn't important. The fact they served clear soup at room temperature set the tone for the rest of the experience. Flat, room temperature... overpriced. The noodles were also room temp. Seems high endish when you walk in but food is definitely subpar. read more

Came her after booking over the phone and confirming with the hostess. When we arrived the hostess was cold and said she didn't have any booking or tables available. We when started to inform her we had made a booking just 20 minutes before over the phone a male manager came over and was extremely rude and told us they didn't have anything and basically pushes us out the door. For me, it didn't matter as I think their sushi is overrated, overpriced, and the staff lacking common courtesy. Everyone in our party agreed to never return to the establishment. Do yourself a favour and do the same. Many better options in town that don't try to make up for their less than average sushi with generic lounge music and overpriced average cocktails. read more

We came in for my birthday dinner and it was everything and more. Morgan was our server and she was AMAZING! She truly made the whole experience.

I will definitely be back and will be requesting Morgan. read more

The sushi is outstanding. Atmosphere is very nice. Wish Sunday was an option. Cocktails were good too!

Fuji Apple Sake is here!!! But no plum sake, and god help you if you want to drink it cold. You have to order separate plum wine and sake. Also ask for the ice carafe to get your sake cold and then mix plum wine in your own glass...very tedious work but worth it when you are too lazy to drive elsewhere. The steak teriyaki is delicious! The portion I received at dinner was twice the norm! I can't say that I like their salad dressing, its pineapple mango yuck! But I am old-fashioned in the sense that good ole' ginger dressing suits my palette in a sushi joint. Speaking of sushi, the Salmon Zest Roll is the best refreshing citrus roll ever created! Comes with its own sauce that is richer than plain old soy sauce and definitely pairs perfectly. I've been here several times, but failed to checkin (I was new to Yelp). I gave 4 stars because the left side of the restaurant is not as friendly (staff and decor) as the right side. So if you have a choice of scenery, veer right for good times and friendly folks to converse with. read more

Honestly might be the worst experience i've had at a restaurant in a long time, if not ever. Took us over 20 minutes to receive drinks (dirty martini, glass of wine, old fashioned) and they were all brought out at a different times. My friend ordered an old fashioned with buffalo trace (which is on the menu) and was told they were out- understandable, however the waitress was no help in recommending a new or similar bourbon and was completely unfamiliar with the alcohol selection. He then walked to the bar to pick out a new bourbon, where they displayed empty bottles of alcohol that they did not have in stock, when he finally found one that they had available (his 4th choice) he was brought the wrong drink. His old fashioned was barbie pink (also the wrong bourbon), I found a hair in my tuna nachos, and was served a martini in a glass with a chipped rim. No one in our party had black or even brown hair and we found a long black hair in our appetizer, which normally wouldn't be the biggest of deals, however given the other issues it just kinda set us all over the edge. Server was kind but incredibly forgetful and no help at all. Had to ask twice for sauces, and server was basically MIA the entire time. We managed to flag down another server and ask for the manager, who fixed the old fashioned, brought a new martini in a new-un-chipped glass, and re made the tuna nachos. However, the manager, although polite, didn't seem to care or was even apologetic in the slightest. We were surprised we got our bill and noticed that nothing was comped or even discounted. Most expensive thing we ordered was a dirty house martini with gin (no price shown) that came in a chipped glass and turned out to be $17!! terrible experience and we will NOT be returning. read more

I wanted the last dinner date of 21016 my wife and I had to be interesting. I chose Rock n Sake because it's a place we have never been and I pass it all of the time. So why not? Atmosphere: 10 - cozy little spot. Very colorful and dimly lit at the same time. Service: 10 - our waitress was great. Didn't quite get the PJs for a "uniform" though. Lol! Food: 15 - What can I say?! The sushi and sashimi was superb. The clear soup, although not totally clear, was delicious. Value: 15 - Although moderately priced, you get more than you money's worth with appetizers AND entrees. I was almost sorry I ordered three rolls and chirashi sashimi for fear it might go to waste because ther was so much. But I endured. Will go again! read more

Decided to give this place a shot while we were in town, and it did not disappoint! The place ambience was very vibrant and alive. The staff here was very nice and helpful! Would come back here just for the awesome service! We had the following: - Killer Scallops - sea scallops sautéed in our special garlic butter sauce - buttery, flaky, delicious scallops! Not at all rubbery! - Tuna ceviche - slices of tuna marinated in lemon and lime juices with green onions, ponzu & Sriracha chili sauce - the balance of flavors was amazing! Perfect amount of citrus, spiciness, and sweet! - Rock-N-Roll Roll - tempura shrimp, snow crab, avocado & asparagus rolled with smelt roe on the outside drizzled with eel sauce - this roll was pretty much your basic roll, delicious - Salmon Zest Roll - fresh salmon and snow crab rolled in soybean paper and topped with fresh salmon and fresh grated lemon zest served with spicy-ponzu dipping sauce - the fresh lemon zest made the salmon so much more delicious! Awesome flavor contrast! - Voodoo Queen Roll - panko fried salmon, jalapeños, avocado, & snow crab rolled with spicy tuna, jalapeño sweet chili mayo, green onions, & tempura flakes on the outside - probably my favorite roll! Well executed roll! I would definitely come back here to try out their other rolls! read more

Overall, I will probably only go back to get food to go. I brought a friend here because it was the last night of restaurant week, and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. We walked in, and I had no choice but to notice how loud the music was. We were sat at a little table toward the back, and my friend and I had to shout our conversation to each other. Since the music was so loud, everyone in the restaurant had to shout, and so the whole restaurant was just a dinner-long assault on the ears. It was also surprisingly frigid in there too (more on this later). Since we went in for restaurant week, we kept to that menu. We both had the shrimp wontons. They came on a neat little plate and were in a sweet chili kind of sauce. I enjoyed the flavor of these immensely, with my one criticism being that they should be a little smaller to make eating them a lot easier. Besides being cold and and loud, our dinner was off to a nice start. I am not sure exactly what my friend had, but it was a noodle dish with vegetables. It came out probably a good five minutes before my salmon did. That was really weird. I understand that not all dishes take the same amount of time to prepare, but there is generally some kind of etiquette that dictates the food comes out together. Now, while I did not have to wait an upsetting amount of time for my salmon, what happened next was just weird. My plate was cold. Not room temperature, not less warm than is usual. It felt like my plate had been stored in a fridge until about 10 minutes before the put my fish on it. My salmon was hot, it was delicious, but it didn't stay hot (and the side of asparagus was cold before I even got to it). I enjoyed it a good deal. I am not proud of what happened next. I like to be adventurous when I go out to eat. I tried that panna cota with chocolate eel sauce for dessert. I am not an expert in all things eel sauce, but I remembered that it is salty. When I read the menu, I thought that is would be like a chocolate sauce with an interesting flavor added to make it novel. I was WRONG. It was eel sauce that they added a hint of chocolate to. I took one bite, and shuddered. This is literally the only time in my life that I have sent back a dish to be replaced by something else. My waitress was a trooper and brought me out some strawberry mochi which was like some strawberry ice cream in a weird little gelatin ball (I enjoyed it, though my Thai friend told me it wasn't real mochi). My waitress, Emily, was a trooper the whole time and just rolled with the punches. Unfortunately, I was not impressed, though I wanted to be. read more

Guyssss, I'm so disappointed. The food is fantastic, don't get me wrong, and the sushi chefs really know what they are doing....but every thing else has been sub-par and a D- at it's best. For starters, we arrived to Rock n Sake 15 minutes after they opened. Granted, it was one of the busier nights, but there was 10 tables tops and most had already recieved food, so we thought we were in the clear. 30 minutes later...crickets. 15 minutes after that "oh your Sushi will be right out, they are cutting it now." 15 minutes after that...crickets. We ended up confronting the staff to just ask what the deal was, and the response was that they were down a sushi chef and productivity was low....mind you, we were there an hour before when NO ONE was there, but ok. 10 minutes later, manager brings out the food. Makes the same excuse, but we all really know that our server just didn't put in the order and that is really the problem. So we ate our food, and then another round of our same order came out, back to back...hummm, short a sushi chef huh? No. It was lost and now we are two orders lost and 80 minutes later. Not to mention, I am unable to eat raw food at the time, and asked the waiter to clarify with the sushi chef, based on the menu, that the roll I ordered would be fully cooked. They confirmed that everything was cooked in it, and low and behold the roll comes out and I am picking out half of the ingredients on the inside because they are raw. (big issue) Soooo frustrated. Unfortunately, we will not be going back to rock-n-sake. My recommendation would be to go to Ichiban down the road instead for dine in or order take out from Rock-n-skae. If the server and manager owned up to the issue at hand, it would have been an entirely different story--- but nope, we're out. We should know better for a college sushi spot I guess. Good luck if you choose to go there. Be Better, Rock- N- Sake! read more

Hands down, my favorite Garlic Salmon Roll (sushi) that I have ever had. If you love sushi, garlic and salmon, then this dish will rock your world. It was insane. Out of the 3 dishes I tried: garlic salmon roll, octopus salad and the pork belly lettuce wraps. The garlic salmon roll was the head of the class, the cream of the crop and was pretty fabulous. I love this restaurant. The sushi bar is immediately when you walk in, to your right is the bar, seating for dining-in upstairs and downstairs. It is clean and the service staff is super nice. I know there are plenty of sushi spots to choose from in Baton Rouge, but this is one of those that you must try. Their rolls are pretty incredible. Find them off of Perkins Road (by The Big Squeezy & Jimmy Johns). Come for sushi, stay for atmosphere and more sushi. They are extremely close to home for me, so I love coming there, when I am in the mood for delicious sushi. read more

When they changed management I don't even know what happened... the previous manager was extremely helpful and kind and checked on the tables. Today we waited over and hour and a half for 4 rolls and not once were we checked on. No one offered an explanation or an apology for the long wait time and when I asked the manager about it she seemed to be amused by it and gave me an absent stare, I've honestly never seen anything like it... disturbing. You lost a loyal customer today. read more

In these tough quarantine times Rock-n-Sake hit the sushi spot! Their sushi was fresh and delicious even from take out and very reasonably priced. We picked it up on a Tuesday evening and the pick up line was HUGE so keep that in mind during the shut down. I highly recommend ordering online and selecting a pick up time to avoid a unknown wait time. I had the Hawaii 5-0 which was delicious! I also recommend the red dragon which was the roll of the month special! Definitely try this place out if you're looking for a good sushi place during the shutdown.

Too loud, average food, and very very slow service just about sums up this place. We reached the place around 8. My friends were there around 7:30, but we had to hang around at the bar for an hour before we got a table and then by the time we were served and done with the food, it was 10:30! Of course, by then, I had lost my appetite. Which was great because the food was just average. We ordered an assortment of sushi: California rolls, upside down roll, spicy tuna, yellow fin, rock n roll sushi etc. None of them were worth that long exhausting wait. I do agree with Paulina N. about the parking situation. It's a bit tricky...you have to either park under the freeway or behind the restaurant. read more

A bunch of years ago I was introduced to sushi at the Benihana in downtown Atlanta. That's a pretty generic place to get started, and didn't really shed much light on what the sushi world is all about. The next place I tried sushi was a slick Atlanta joint called Ru-San's. I only later gathered that Ru-San's was based on a very common sushi template that is still going strong two decades later: The So-Cal-wannabee Americanized sushi place. The original Rock-n-Sake, which opened a few blocks from my then-workplace in New Orleans in the late 90s, is cut straight from that same template. (A big surprise, given the name "Rock-n-Sake"....) It actually had half-way decent sushi, though, as I recall, even if the atmosphere was really annoying. This new-ish Baton Rouge location is pretty similar, with some minor 21st century updates. The atmosphere is slick and clubby and loud, and the clientele, especially at this college-town location, is mostly very young. The music, at least on the night we were there, sounded like an MTV playlist circa 1982 to 1987, as if to evoke some fantastical (and never-ending) '80s SoCal nostalgia. (And as somebody who lived through that dogcrap music back in the day, rest assured that I don't need to hear it again for the rest of my life.) And the sushi is mostly Americanized and cooked--more so than I remember at the N.O. location--which isn't my thing. The menu actually has a little symbol to indicate rolls that actually have raw fish, and probably only about a half dozen out of about 40 specialty rolls actually bear that symbol. The rest are junk-sushi creations that might have been dreamed up for Guy Fieri's latest enterprise, along with a handful of standards like the Rainbow Roll. So why the hell was an apparently grumpy old bastard like me even bothering with such a place? Well, I live in Ohio these days, where good sushi is hard to come by, and I had fond memories of much-better sushi in Louisiana. And we were craving some sushi. And Rock-n-Sake offers a relatively short list of nigiri, sashimi, and old-school rolls with raw fish. We ordered some of this stuff (the basics, like whitefish, salmon, tuna, etc.), and given the rest of the experience, it was very fresh, clean-tasting, well-prepared, and surprisingly good. It is for this satisfying, simple sushi that I bump this rating up to three stars. read more
