Sitting at the bar is absolutely the move here, the service is hands-down the best. They serve the rolls almost instantly as soon as they are made, which means you get that perfect, immediate crunch from the seaweed before it softens. Favorite drinks are Tipsy Geisha and Sumo Diet, both are awesome, though it looks like they recently changed their drink menu read more

So sad to see this location go!! It's my favorite. Hope the others can measure up. Rolls are unbeatable. Love ROL!! read more

Extremely sad that they're closing this location soon. This was my first time at the HB location. We came here to celebrate my aunt's birthday. Parking: Free parking lot. There's a small/medium parking lot. Finding an open spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small/medium space with bar seating, table seating, and a few outdoor seating. As an early Gen Z/late millennial, I love the nostalgic music. The vibes are chill. It was busy when we came in during dinner on Saturday. Luckily we had dinner reservations. We waited about 15 min to get seated. Service: We wanted to sit at the bar for the experience. If you're planning on getting the sets of hand rolls, sitting at the bar will give you a casual, omakase-like experience. The chef presents the hand rolls to you one-by-one. We loved our experience at the bar! Shout out to our server Leah! She's courteous, quick, & efficient! Honestly, everyone was on top of their game that night. Food & drinks: We went with the set of 6 hand rolls. We had the salmon, toro, yellowtail, spicy tuna, scallop, and crab hand rolls. Each hand roll was delicious and well prepared. My favorites were the salmon and scallop. We also ordered the Furikake Fries, Chili Garlic Edamame, and Cucumber Salad as appetizers. The fries were thin & crispy, the edamame was seasoned well, and the cucumber salad tasted as expected. Of course, I had to grab some drinks so I tried the Tokyo Tea and Toji Rita (I think .. honestly I forgot exactly what I ordered lol). But both were strong & fruity! I only tried the drinks with tequila. Since it was my aunt's birthday, they surprised her with a matcha cheesecake. Sooo good; not overly sweet and the matcha was subtle! Pricing: This isn't one of those places where you get overly full. Their portions are just enough to satisfy you. We're sad this location is closing, but will forsure visit their other locations. read more

Spectacular place! Kei Concepts does it again by making a phenomenal handroll place. We found this on a whim online and luckily, we came without revelations. We were seated immediately at the bar. We noticed that if you wanted tables for dining, you definitely need a reservation. We were able to park in the parking lot with. The front. It was a busy day and the lot had only a couple of spots left. When we were seated, we were already looking at the appetizers. We decided to order their crispy rice tartare. We also ended up ordering the 7 piece hand roll set and two salmon inari. The 7 piece hand roll set came with salmon, yellowtail, toro, crispy tuna, blue crab, unagi, and a scallop roll. We were able to substitute 2 rolls because of my shellfish allergy; we took off the scallops and blue crab, and ended up ordering a salmon hand roll and a toro roll instead (toro is an extra $2 for substitution). I audibly gasped when the inari came out. They were HUGE! And absolutely tasty! The tofu skin wasn't overpowering or too sweet. The rolls itself were hefty and savory. The fish were fresh. The other impressive dish was their crispy tartare! We ended up ordering again because we were so impressed by its flavors. To complement our meals, we ordered a beer each. The service here is quick and smooth. The servers here are trained very well and the are quick to assist. The chefs here are very observant and organized with their craft. I'm utterly impressed and would love to come back for another round. Well done, Kei Concepts! read more

Good, clean, cheap eats. I know a good deal when I see one! I have been coming to Rol for a while now, for their Maki Sets, pretty fresh and tasty. Their pricing has always been easy on the pocket but I've been coming even more so, now that they have rolled out their new lunch special. 4 hand rolls (salmon, blue crab, scallops and spicy tuna), a side of edamame AND miso soup for $15. Can't pass that up! I thought it would be a small and dinky meal, but it's a pretty good portion. I did order an extra $5 Salmon Inari, delectable, would recommend and would order again. It is served Omakase style where rolls are served one at a time for immediate consumption. This heightens freshness, soft rice and crispy seaweed. Rolls here are prepped more simply and delicately. In a good way, this preparation style brings out the sweet and fresh of the seafood. I would definitely categorize the rolls here a clean eat. Parking is a little tough but there's additional parking in back of plaza. Seating can also be a little rough, it's a small space, but the staff work quick. I'd say make the time, it's pretty worth it. Service is good, every staff member I've had in my experiences has been attentive and friendly. The price for this quality and quantity of food is unheard of these days. I'm a regular for sure! read more

Came here for lunch with my sisters on a Tuesday. Parking lot was full, but luckily found a spot. Our reservation was for 1pm, we arrived a little early so we waited outside before checking in. We were seated at the bar area. The space is very tight, and as a small gal I felt overly self conscious trying to hop into my seat without bumping into anyone. We ordered the lunch hand roll along with a lobster roll. The nori was so crunchy I'm not sure I've ever has a handroll this crunchy and delicious. Few of the rolls had too much mayo, but overall was a great meal. The highlight was definitely the lobster hand roll. I'm glad we added that to our lunch special. If this place was closer to home, I definitely would be coming regularly. Hope they expand out to LA county. read more

ROL Hand Roll Bar - So good - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Waiters? Lovely. Ambiance? Amazing. Food? Great. I've had ROL before in the past before with friends & family, however I decided to come here alone post workout for a quick bite. I've seen their Kaisendon bowl advertised as a lunch time special before and decided to stop by to try it today. It was delicious, fresh, & had came with a floral broth, gari and wasabi. I was slightly surprised when I got the $14 uni add-on and it was a small piece of uni. But, I will admit it was fresh & creamy. Overall, wonderful fresh fish but only get the uni add-on if you're REALLY in the mood to shell out a midwestern minimum wage worker's hourly pay for high quality uni. Other than that, the $19 bowl itself is a bang for your buck! read more

ROL is just as good as I remembered. I've been to their fountain valley location few years ago and it was delicious too. They offer 4 different sets. We ordered The High Roller set and 7-set between the two of us. We probably have a big appetite and had to order 2 extra rolls on the side lol. There were only 5pcs for the high roller set but with fancier roll. Thought it was not that much food. We could easier order another set of 5 to share. My favorites were blue crab, toro, truffle mushroom and uni & toro. They were all very delicious. read more

Date-y vibes, but handrolls were a miss. Went on a Friday evening- they offer rsvp but was a last minute dinner, so did the Yelp waitlist. There's a decent amount of parking during the evening at the place (near the bank). Was sat relatively quickly. Cell phone signal is a bit bad for certain carriers and wifi seems to have a password (with no password listed anywhere) so the menu took a bit long to load. The vibe is modern and sleek - def a younger crowd (as most Kei spots are) - it's also a bit loud inside, so not really a place for intimate conversations. Got a 6 roll set. The rolls felt a little small filling wise and not too punchy of a favor, but was more disappointed in the nori being pretty chewy vs crisp (despite eating the rolls immediately when served). Overall - the prices didn't really fit the quality, but maybe with drinks and the vibe it works for some guests. I'd prefer places like KazuNori, The Bar or Temaki Society for handrolls though. read more

Coming in the restaurant is cozy. There's a u-shape bar as you walk inside and a couple of tables on the other side of the restaurant. I ordered the high roller set. It was really good with premium fish/uni and cavier. I really enjoyed it. The rolls comes out one at a time as to my understanding so it doesn't get soggy which is much appreciated. The waiter was really nice. I would like to come back and try other stuff on their menu. read more

10.12.25 - I've been here in this building about 4+ years ago back when it was The Cure Kitchen & Bar with some friends. They closed and changed to Rol Hand Roll Bar some time after and I haven't had the chance to check it out until now. This place did not disappoint. It wasn't busy at the time so we were seated right away. I wish I could've eaten more but 3 filled me up at the time. Staff were all great and food came out/ was made quick! I ordered the uni & toro, uni and yellowtail hand rolls. My friend ordered the salmon inari, cucumber salad and furikake fries. All of the hand rolls were delicious. Everything tasted fresh. My favorite was the uni & toro. Cucumber salad and fries were good too. I would try some other rolls on the menu next time as well as the inari. The Kaisendon bowl sounds good too. We need places like this in AZ! read more

This was our second time going and everything was super fresh and delicious! It did take a little while to get seated so I recommend Yelp reservations asap! But once we did it was fast service.

Got the 7 set hand roll and ads the uni and yuzu sauce on the side. Rice had enough vinegar and nori was still crispy. All were good except I think the unagi could have done without the crispy onions would pass on yuzu sauce. The best was the uni. Service was outstanding. Food 4.25 Service 5. Overall, would come back again if in the area. read more

ROL Hand Roll Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Very fresh sushi and I highly recommend. The service was great and I love how they have set options. We got the 7 set and it was $38! They bring out one roll at a time, so it stays crispy and fresh. It was about $95 for 2 people with 18% tip. Parking was a little annoying and crowded even on a week day. We made reservations and we were quickly seated. They don't have that many tables, but a larger bar area so it would be a good idea to make reservations. Will 100% be coming back to try other menu items! read more

After visiting the Fountain Valley location, we decided to give this location a try. If you're looking not to be seated in a too close for comfort situation at the bar, this location may suit you. Unlike the Fountain Valley location, there are individuals tables and half booths available. Reservations are necessary if you visit during the lunch hour. We arrived at 11:30 am and the place was about half full. I love the lunch specials here, which include the lunch 4 hand roll set, and the Kaisendon and Donburi bowl. I decided to try the Donburi lunch special which comes with miso soup and edamame. The Donburi comes with Spicy Tuna and Salmon which sits on top of steamed rice and comes with avocado, sesame seeds, furikake, and cucumbers. I switched out the Spicy Tuna for Yellowtail at no cost. It was good to try, but they were skimpy with the cucumbers and avocado. Flavorwise, it was a pretty boring meal. We also ordered the 4 hand roll lunch special ($15), which also comes with miso soup and edamame. They do allow you to make substitutions and charge a bit extra if you switch out for a premium hand roll. We paid $2 more for a lobster hand roll substitution. Finally, we ordered my husband's favorite and a must order, the Surf and Turf along with a Toro and Truffle hand roll. Although our server was great, along with the staff. I found this location to be a bit too chaotic. Food arrived at times that were too spaced out. Our last hand roll took so long that we thought they forgot about it. The chef behind the bar appeared to be working solo and that could explain the delay. Also, I'll stick to the hand rolls next time. read more

First time trying hand rolls, and they definitely didn't disappoint. The fish was incredibly fresh, and everything is made to order, which makes a big difference. I originally came for their kaisendon, which is only available during lunch. It's a great mix of fish topped with fish eggs, and I added uni on top. Absolutely worth it. The best part is when you're about a quarter into the meal, they pour in a warm fish broth that elevates the entire experience. Everything was excellent! The service was fast, and the food came out right on time. Definitely coming back. read more

Rol is great go to lunch spot! The $15 hand roll set comes with salmon, spicy tuna, scallop, and blue crab hand rolls, edamame, and miso soup. It's a good filling lunch portion! You are also able to swap out certain rolls for an extra charge. The furikake fries are also so yummy and a great appetizer. Also thank you to our server Lauren! She was so sweet and helpful. She apologized for the "delay" since it was busy but honestly the food came out in a very timely manner. I loved that our apps came out first, fries, then soup, then edamame, before our hand rolls. Good timing, kind service, and yummy food! read more

Finally got to try their lunch specials: Kaisendon and hand roll set. Everything was very good and filling. The workers were very nice and everything was brought out quickly.

ROL Hand Roll Bar - Kaisendon & Crispy Rice Tartare (ig: @cravingswithcat) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

My go to item here is the kaisendon. It's one of their lunch specials that's available until 4 pm everyday. The bowl contains rice on the bottom, topped with salmon, spicy tuna, shrimp, scallop, and blue crab. How you eat the don is as normal until about the halfway point. You'll then request for the miso salmon broth to be poured into the bowl for a whole new flavor. That's my favorite part. Service here is always top notch. They're super nice and attentive. It's slightly on the louder side here but that's to be expected since it's located in a pretty populated location and it's a popular spot to get some quality sushi. read more

First time here and it exceeded my expectations! I've been wanting to try this spot forever and it totally lived up to the hype. Phu was our server and gave amazing service from start to finish! My cousin and I each got the 7-piece hand roll set (salmon, spicy tuna, scallop, yellowtail, blue crab, toro, and unagi--she swapped for another scallop). Each roll was fresh and flavorful, and eating them right away made the crispy nori + warm rice combo perfect. We also had the Umechi & Kyushu Gimlet which were dangerously good haha and appetizers (Chili Garlic Edamame + Cucumber Salad) that really hit the spot. Don't skip the Kizami Wasabi... I'm never going back to regular wasabi again! Great vibes, wonderful and fast service, amazing chill music, and a super satisfying meal. Can't wait to come back! read more

My husband brought me in for a quick impromptu date today and I loved it so much we plan to return again this week. We were greeted immediately upon entering. We opted to sit at the sushi bar since we only planned to have a few rolls. Our server brought us water right away and a paper menu. Hai, the sushi chef was beyond amazing! He was friendly and very accommodating. He recommended the yuzu kosho sauce to dip our spicy crunch roll in and he was spot on! It added such a delicious complementary flavor to the roll. I love sushi but am mindful of insulin spikes in my body so Hai made a few of my rolls with cucumber instead of rice. He also said they can do protein only which is nice for people who opt to go that route. The fish was very fresh and the warm seaweed was something I've never had before! It gave the rolls a nice crunch and warm texture. Hai recommends taking your first bite within 15 seconds of receiving the roll. I cannot wait to return! Parking easy in the shared public lot or the parking structure. read more

Food was delicious! The fish is great quality. You order all the rolls you want and they bring you them out one by one so they stay fresh. Our waitress was fantastic. A member of our group is gluten free and she wrote out a whole list of all the food she can't eat to be safe! Inside is small the bar area is fun to sit at as you can watch your rolls be made. There's only about 9 tables so make sure to make a reservation. Also part of the kei rewards program Definitely coming back! read more

Another great meal with great service! We did the 5 and 7 rol options. We also added the crispy rice tartare and the cucumber salad this time. Crispy rice tartare is a must! It is so delicious and rice texture is perfect! The cucumber salad is also nice in between roles. We sat at a table this time instead of the bar. I think I like the bar better for a party of two. I love ROL! Keep up the great food and service! read more

This place has a fantastic lunch option where you get four hand rolls, miso and edamame for $15 which is a steal! Ingredients are fresh, high quality and has good portions.

ROL Hand Roll Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

We were really hungry and tired, so we decided to order delivery from this place. We got the DIY Hand-roll Kit, Crispy Rice Tartare (I forgot to take a picture), Cucumber Salad, and the Furikake French Fries. The DIY Hand-roll Kit was pretty good. It had a nice variety of rolls to try, and all of them turned out good in flavor. But if you split it for three people, each person only gets about 10 tiny rolls--that's really just like 5 or 6 pieces of regular sushi. The Crispy Rice Tartare was really good. We only ordered three because it was kind of expensive, and we were sad about that because I could have easily eaten a bunch. The fish was super soft, and the buttery crispy rice melted in your mouth. The Cucumber Salad was also surprisingly good for an appetizer. It was sweet, umami, and a little spicy, and the little caviars added a nice touch. The fries ended up being more of a meal for the people who were still hungry. I was also surprised that the ginger here came in plastic packets. read more

High-quality rolls and unique sauces. If you're a fan of KazuNori in LA, ROL is Huntington Beach's answer. What sets them apart are the house-made sauces--the Yuzu Kosho and Truffle Soy really elevate the fish. We went for the 'High Roller' set which included uni and A5 Wagyu. It's a bit pricier but absolutely worth it if you want to treat yourself. The atmosphere is sleek and intimate--perfect for a date night or a small group of friends. Amazing Service read more

Delicious, quality, affordable hand rolls! I'm a big fan of Kei Concepts restaurants and this is one of my long time favorite hand roll spots. You can choose to sit at the bar and watch them make your hand rolls, or seated at the tables which are great for big groups, families, and dates. I usually order their 5/6/7 set depending how hungry I am and it will have assorted flavor options such as salmon, spicy tuna, scallop, yellow tail, etc. They have a la carte hand roll options and really great cocktails and drinks! They will serve soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi on the side. They also sell some sauces which add an extra flavor. What I really love about ROL is their lunch deals! They have a deal going on now for 4 hand rolls, edamame, and miso soup for $15.00 - it is super filling! I also enjoy the Kaisen Don bowl which comes with a generous amount of rice- topped with salmon, spicy tuna, scallop, shrimp, and crab. Eat half the bowl and then they will pour miso salmon broth to make it a tasty porridge-like option and topped with lemon zest. For $19 this is easily 2 meals for me. I hope they keep these lunch specials around, I am no stranger to ROL and will continue to eat here! read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night and waited around 25 min to be seated at 9PM. We got seated indoors and it was a pretty lively ambiance with edm/house playing. He got the 5 hand roll set, 2 spicy salmon crunch inari, 2 crab inari, and the crispy tartare appetizer. I got the salmon don, a toro hand roll, and fries. The hand rolls took like 5 minutes to arrive. The fish was very fresh and everything was super yummy. My bf was obsessed with the inari, since he has a big sweet tooth. Our server was incredibly sweet - I thought my salmon don came with seaweed but it was actually an add on, but our server gave us extra seaweed just because (': The salmon don comes with a yuzu sauce on the side that was so refreshing, and it's so much bang for your buck. I probably made like 10 hand rolls just from the salmon don. Definitely will try the toro don next time. My boyfriend is a big huge fan of Kazunori, and he thought that rol was just as good, if not better for their selection! read more

Delicious roll place in Huntington Beach. They make your order fresh and serve it like it's sushi. They have sets but if you know what you want no need to get the set since the price isn't different. I got their salmon, hamachi, toro, and shrimp tempura. All amazing! We also had their salmon tartare and super yummy. Furikake fries were alright.

Came here for the $15 lunch special- 4 hand rolls, miso soup, and edamame!!! This is seriously an insane deal because ~3 hand rolls at the individual prices add up to more than $15 so you're basically getting the miso soup, edamame, and an extra hand roll for free! And of course you can add more items outside of the special if you're still hungry. Service was great, we came at a not very busy time (around 3:30 on a weekday) and our server was very kind and attentive. I also love how they wait for you to finish the roll they just gave you before handing you the next one so the seaweed stays fresh and crispy!! I believe this is the only ROL location that has regular table seating as well in addition to the bar seating so this location is great for groups as well. I love all the lunch specials that kei concepts has been doing the deals are so amazing!!!! read more

So, after church, I was craving something fresh and light, and luckily, Rol was just a hop, skip, and a jump away! My daughter and I decided to give it a try. It's a cute little place - parking's a bit tight, but we snagged a spot and got seated right away, before the lunchtime rush hit. We grabbed seats at the bar - now, I know, kids at the bar isn't usually a thing, but this place is more of a sushi hand roll bar, not your typical pub, so it was totally fine. They even had a great kids' menu and a yummy non-alcoholic drink for her. She devoured the whole thing! I sampled a few different rolls, and honestly, they were all amazing. But the truffle toro roll? Oh my goodness, it was my absolute favorite! We'll definitely be back to try some more of their delicious creations. read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Huntington Beach. This local hand roll bar is beyond deserving of its many accolades. ROL is an intimate eatery serving up hand rolls, ongiri, and donburi dishes. They also have a full bar with some pretty unique cocktail options. If you're dining on a budget, I'd highly recommend their lunchtime deals. They offer 4 signature handrolls for $15 and bento boxes for $19. Personally, I skip these offers and go straight for the lobster hand roll. I've tried their scallop, blue crab, tuna, California, salmon, lobster, and truffle mushroom rolls. Every item is fantastic, and incredibly fresh, but thoughts of their lobster roll keep me up at night. I'd love to see them expand to include a sauce flight/tastings. $2 per sauce is a bit hefty, especially if you don't know if you're a fan. I personally didn't love the chef recommended Yuzu Kosho. Either way, I'll remain a fan of ROL. In fact, I already know what I want for my next birthday: the lobster hand roll for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. read more
