If you're in the mood for a culinary experience that whispers “budget-friendly" and screams "lower your expectations," then look no further than this charming little exercise in gastronomic compromise. Upon entry, you're greeted by a cashier whose disinterest rivals the ambience, who, with an audacity that deserves a standing ovation, requests a tip before you've even contemplated your first plate of tepid tempura. A bold move, considering this is a self-serve AYCE establishment where service is defined loosely as the occasional clearing of plates; though in my case, even that rare privilege was withheld. And yes, I got tricked into tipping the preselected amount, but received no service. Lesson learned. The soda machine, ever the beacon of American dining hope, was broken; effectively dashing dreams of a crisp cola pairing with my lukewarm miso. Tragedy in three acts. The nigiri sushi? Serviceable, if you have a fondness for rice sculptures loosely tethered to whispers of seafood. It’s clear they’re padding the profit margins one grain at a time. Still, they’ve got bills to pay, and evidently not enough tipped service to help cover them. At least the rolls had lots of filler ingredients in there; however, the seafood, again, was a bit on the skimpier side. Surprisingly, the crab Rangoon was the belle of this budget ball: hot, crispy, and not pretending to be anything it’s not. A small victory in an otherwise forgettable war. In short, this is the kind of place you visit not for artistry or ambiance, but because you're hungry and have accepted that dignity sometimes takes a back seat to deep-fried efficiency. Come for the value, stay for the regret; but hey, at least you’ll leave full.

The Raleigh Roll will always be my favorite here. The is the spot my kids always ask to go to whenever they miss a day of school for a dr or dentist appointment. Family fav!

The servers and workers were so kind. They accommodated my needs with no hesitation. The food here was lackluster as there was not much sushi choice, but the Hawaii roll was delicious. I also ended up getting the hibachi steak, but honestly the vegetables were the star of that dish. The deserts were also good!

Food is always so tasty! Depending on the kitchen chef that is working, the hibachi can come out a little dry... but on certain days, typically Wednesdays and Saturdays, it is so moist and flavorful! This is the only reason for my 4 star rating, instead of a full 5! What's more is that the staff is always so welcoming and happy to serve and take your plates. Very respectful and patient. My fiance and I love this place so much so that we're regular customers!

All you can eat conveyor sushi. It's not the best or most amazing sushi you can get, but it's pretty good and hard to beat for the price. They have a decent variety too. If sushi isn't your thing there is also hibachi, tempura, dumplings, and a variety of other items you can order. Aside from paying there isn't much staff interaction, but they all seemed nice.

We loved this all-you-can Sushi location. 😋 Awesome prices for adults and children. It's not just sushi either - use the table iPad to order entrees, kids nuggets or corn dog, fries, wings, and so much more. There is a conveyor belt with LOTS of sushi options continually rolling past tables and if you see something you like just open the door and grab 😋. When you first come into the restaurant there is a kiosk to pay and then you're given a table number plaque. Take that to find your table and enjoy. No wait service but the staff constantly cleans tables and brings out any dishes you ordered on the iPad. The restaurant was clean and the fountain drinks are self served free refills. There's a community bar with sauces and sauce pumps. The dessert was limited - chocolate or coconut cake. Our kids loved this experience and constantly watched the closed conveyor belt. Soup and salad bar and EVERYTHING included in the price! Nicely decorated and clean!

This is a fun spot with all you can eat sushi at a very fair price. It is not the most high quality at all but it does taste good. The Hawaiian roll was my favorite. They also have hibachi which was really good.

Great deal! Good sushi and good hibachi off the free menu. We love it. The sushi conveyor is the coolest thing.

Conveyor belt sushi with lots of choices. Can also order unlimited items from a limited menu, all included. Desserts, soup, drinks & sauces are buffet style. Busy on Saturday night but got seated right away at the counter. Staff is very friendly. We have visited Rock and Rolls regularly.

This place is amazing!! The food is excellent and it’s all you can eat of course, for a great price. I am in a family of 4, and for all of us to eat, it was around $53. To me, that is a very fair price considering inflation. My favorite was the Las Vegas rolls, but there are many other excellent dishes. There is also a screen you can order appetizers such as spring rolls, and entrees. It is also kid friendly, having corn dogs, chicken nuggets, and French fries. This place is 5 stars for me and I would come here again.

Love this place! First time trying conveyor belt sushi, and I wasn't let down. I understand what other reviewers mean when they say the sushi isn't necessarily elite quality, but as a person who's ate at several fancy sushi restaurants, I have no qualms with this place. The lunch price is fabulous value for all the food you can eat. Just very tasty and chill vibes here. Looking forward to coming back 🙂
