    Interior seated dining
    Canary H.

    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!

    Spicy Tuna Roll

    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!

    So good

    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.

    Kaisendon with uni

    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!

    Spicy tuna roll and salmon rol
    Shirley C.

    Freshly made. Not overly riced Just enough carb and the right amount of flavor This brand is consistent with the quality of their locations

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Salmon Inari
    Lien S.

    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!

    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. The kids enjoyed their fries and maki rolls. Adults got the 7 set rolls and it was super crispy, tasted fresh and hand roll perfection.

    Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice Tartare
    Brigitte M.

    Sister was craving sushi, so we came here. Got the cucumber salad and spicy tuna crunch, as well as a few hand rolls. Loved the scallop and spicy salmon crunch the most. All the ingredients are always great and fresh. Service was great, and the inside is super cute.

    Julia H.

    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.

    Andrea H.

    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!

I asked about seating for two and was simply told to wait outside with no explanation. After 15 minutes, I asked for an update and was again given a vague, dismissive response. Why not give a yes or no answer to whether accommodations can be made? There were several parties waiting in the brightly lit hallway with no A/C, despite plenty of tables seemingly available. At one point, another party peeked inside and a young kid employee with an Afro came out and rudely waved his hands in a "what do you want" manner without saying a word. Two waiting parties immediately left, and we decided to do the same after witnessing that. Another party with a reservation waiting told us this happens regularly and that the staff can be rude. Whether that's their normal practice or not, it was enough to make me not want to give this place my money. We ended up going to two other bars nearby that the one party waiting there recommended and had a completely opposite experience, welcoming and respectful. Definitely disappointing and don't recommend wasting your time as there's so many other places to try.
