    Alaskan roll, Salmon Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll

    This restaurant is always amazing. Small hidden gem with some of the best sushi I've had!

    Best hole in the wall sushi place in Fayetteville. The server we had was incredible and so sweet. She was hilarious too! Get the hand roll!

    Sushi sampler add surf clams and octopus sushi. Italian brewed Asahi dry hopped Japanese beer.

    This place is a true hidden gem. Small quaint spot off of Hope Mills. The staff are friendly and straight to the point. I came for the surf clams and octopus sushi. I'm not a roll guy but they looked amazing coming out. The salmon is always fresh here. They will make anything into a bowl or a roll if you desire and it's not on the menu.

    Sushi

    The service was amazing 11 out of 10, staff was so kind and helpful, fish is fresh like it was just caught. Overall 10/10 sushi restaurant

    I just moved here coming from a big city and searching for good asian food have been VERY hard. This place is a hole in the wall. I was surprised when I came in. Their sushis are awesome. Price is reasonable AND they have a promo of buy 3 rolls get 1 roll FREE! I saw they got sakes and beers too so I can't wait to comeback and do sake bombs! Cheers!

    Deluxe Bento Box

    The food was INCREDIBLE!! You wouldn't necessarily expect it when first looking at the exterior of the place but the atmosphere inside is cozy and very welcoming. The service was very good as well and even though they had ran out of the mochi, the server was very apologetic and everything went extremely well. The portions are also quite large! Me and my friend shared the bento box. Would come here again!!

    This is my favorite restaurant in town! Before i moved here i was recommended by someone in Raleigh that said they have the best sushi around. Totally accurate. I love all of the sashimi it tastes so fresh! I will get the Mexican roll usually but there is also a roll that has white sauce on it that is very good. Their gyoza is also AMAZING. I go at least once a week and will continue to do so.

I will say, however, that the batter for the Calamari was too soft...also cut too large. The thing that bothered me was how they did not offer a spoon or a fork (just the chopsticks) when I clearly ordered a rice dish. Did they expect me to eat rice with my chopsticks?!? This is a running pet peeve of mine in restaurants nowadays...as so many have gotten so stingy about offering spoons and/or forks...let alone a complete set of silverware. In fact, they gave me a cheap plastic spoon!!! Just WOW. I just don't get this ...especially from such a nice, little restaurant. I mean, this is not McDonald's! Immediately dropped their class level down a notch. I just don't appreciate how so many restaurants have degenerated like this in recent years (following Covid). Again, this seems to be an issue not just here, but many others I've been. Guess I could have really liked this restaurant, but this plastic spoon thing killed it for me. Still, the foods were good enough to return.

    For Fayetteville, Rockin' Rolls is a great option for affordable all-you-can-eat sushi. We came in…read moreright at 5 PM when they reopened for dinner. The conveyor belt had a decent selection with plenty to choose from, I enjoyed what I had, nothing that blew me out of the water, but solid for the price. Hot appetizers ordered through their tablet were also enjoyable and worth it for the value. The hibachi entrées, however, were a letdown. My protein was dry, and while I get that most people probably come here for sushi, the other menu items shouldn't feel like an afterthought. Service-wise, we were seated in a corner near the bathroom, a "blind spot" where staff can't see the table directly. Plates started piling up fast, and eventually we had to flag someone at the register to clear them. The manager came over right away, was genuinely apologetic, and took care of it. While I understand that it's the dinne rush, I still want to make the point that we didn't just have a few plates, it got to the point where we barely had room to eat. For tables in blind spots, there needs to be more attention from the staff so things don't get that backed up. The ambiance isn't terrible in other parts of the restaurant, but sitting in a blind spot feels awkward, especially when your view is a shelf stacked with cardboard boxes. Overall, I want to rate it between 3-4 stars, but Yelp doesn't really give that option. The value is there, especially for Fayetteville, but there's room for improvement in both food consistency and service attentiveness.

My server was very helpful with suggestions and tended to all my needs, she was great and I'm annoyed with myself that I can't remember her name I got the hibachi filet and the crazy boy with no masago. Food was amazing! I'm pretty picky with hibachi but this whole meal was perfect for me. It's a lot of food, I had to bring it back to the hotel cause...it's a lot lol, they aren't skimpy with portions! I highly recommend. It's a smaller hibachi place than I am used to from when living in Texas and the atmosphere was brighter than most hibachi places but it's very welcoming and just because it's not a huge place doesn't mean you shouldn't try it!

    We visited this restaurant as a group, hoping for a fun entertaining dinner. Two of my friends…read morewere first time Hibachi diners, so I had high hopes for their first experience. Having been to several Hibachi-style restaurants, myself, I had an idea as what we could expect. This was not the case, here. In the past, I always enjoyed a more theatrical element during hibachi meal preparation. By current definition, it should be an entertaining event with the chef, making jokes, doing culinary tricks, and showing off remarkable skills. Nope. First, we had to wait a long time for the chef to show up. They seem to have been short handed since it only appeared that there were 3 chefs at work. When our chef finally showed up, he seemed bored and irritated, and had the demeanor of a line cook. He simply prepared the food, cleaned up, and left. Not at all what I was used to. No conversation, no onion volcano, tricks with the egg, no fake ketchup bottle with string... no personality. Also, much of our meal was left out. The waiter forgot our salads, never paid us much attention, never bothered to re-fill our drinks, and seemed just as indifferent as the chef. The vegetable portion of the hibachi meal was also missing broccolli and mushrooms. It was as if the veggi delivery truck didn't showed up that day. I was pretty disappointed having talked-up the experience to my friends, who were just as bored watching some guy listlessly cook their food. The thing that really bothered me was that for the price of the food, you DO pay a little more for the experience. Without that, it just isn't worth the price. I can see why they automatically added the gratuity. We could have just gone to the buffet on Bragg blvd. and saved a lot of money for the same meal. The restaurant was also dark, dingy, greasy, and in desperate need of renovation. With so many other dining options available in Fayetteville, we will not be coming here again.

    If you know what you're getting into, this can be a great experience…read more First off, the $30 price seems steep, but you know that's the price of just hibachi or 2 fancy rolls at any other sushi place. The sushi I had was decent and comparable to other local places. But I also had a great tuna tataki,, and rock shrimp, and a soup and salad, and then gyoza, and a shumai. Some was mediocre but none was bad. Some was spectacular. The bad? Yes, there's a 'if you order it, you have to eat it' rule, which honestly makes sense seeing how many customers try to scam a full order to sneak out. Order something. Eat it. Then, try something else. And yes, the mediocre fried rice is a filler . It's still a very good deal that'll leave you painfully full. Just don't be greedy. That tataki was great.

The lunch is $18 and dinner is $28 for all you can eat. There has been a lot of talk on some of the food pages that you get 90 mins to eat and will be charged for uneaten food, but we did not experience either of these issues. Our server was Jasmine, she was so nice and took great care of us. I will say that not all of the rolls are on the lunch menu, which is why I wanted to try it for dinner first. I had spring rolls and then dove in head first and ordered a lover roll, a salmon lover roll, a yummy roll and a naruto roll. Husband had gyoza and steak hibachi. I thought the presentation was really good, and all the sushi was delicious and fresh. Hibachi may not have been fresh, as it was a little cold when it came to the table. The bar in the front seemed like it was a happening little spot to wait for your table, and you can also order al a carte there if you dont want to do the all you can eat. There was a 30 minute wait for us at six in the evening on a Saturday, which isnt too bad, we walked around a nearby store until they called to say our table was ready. I will definitely head here for a solo lunch as I am the only sushi lover in our house.
