We’ve been to sushi rock so many times and it has always been a hit! Most recently we checked out their happy hour and OMG ITS AMAZING!! The drinks, food, and service are FANTASTIC!! Huge shout out to our server ELI who gave incredible service during a super busy Sat night. You are the best!!! Highly recommend the white rabbit cocktail, fried dumplings, kalbi tacos, and bulgogi sliders.

I have been here a few times and even with the kitsch of all the rock decorations, the food quality is great. However, the last two visits are the reason I'm writing a review. I went alone on a busy night a few weeks ago, and the FOH manager was incredibly nice and helpful to me - went out of his way to make sure I was being taken care of when the staff were super busy, and he was just overall attentive and caring. Then, when I went this week and sat at the bar, I noticed a senior sushi chef training someone on how to make the rolls and cut the fish. She was so incredibly kind and positive to the newer person - I'm pretty sure she didn't think anyone could hear her as it was loud, so it was genuine. It was just a nice touch to know that even when the chefs are busy, they take the time to be good people. Go for the food quality, return for the people quality.

Just had dinner at Sushi Rock and wow what a great spot. The whole experience was smooth and super enjoyable, but the sashimi was the real standout for me. Fresh, buttery, and sliced perfectly it basically melted in my mouth. You can really taste the quality. The rolls were creative and delicious too we had Rainbow Roll and Free Fallin both packed with flavor. The vibe inside is relaxed but modern, with a fun energy. Great for a casual night out or even a date. Service was friendly and on-point. Prices felt fair for the quality, and everything came out pretty quickly. You can tell they care about both the food and the customer experience. If you’re into sushi especially sashimi Sushi Rock is 100% worth checking out.

Great sushi experience . A few good deals for happy hour and the establishment was not busy at all. Sushi came out quickly and the service was excellent. Fish was fresh and rolls were great. Nice portions for the price and would def visit again.

I was walking when a sudden storm hit. The owner of the restaurant (I assume) quickly signaled for me to come inside to avoid the rain. He handed me tissues and an umbrella and told me to sit and wait as long as I needed until the storm calmed. He was incredibly kind, and I couldn’t thank him enough. I’ll definitely be coming back to eat here in the future (I actually ordered from here a few times a year ago, and the food was amazing). Highly recommend this place and thank you again for helping me during the storm! :)

Sushi Rock is my go-to neighborhood sushi restaurant. I got the chirashi bowl and sides (miso soup and seaweed salad) and it was such a good meal! Service is great too. The crowd is young and the vibe on a week night is chill.

I decided to go with my daughter last minute option, they close late which is a plus on Arlington area , the Flavor of the food it was good, fresh. Service was overwhelming my appetizer was on my table before my drink then when I asked her for my drink she realized that. However Drinks were great I really enjoyed them. The light is too Dark and the music was to loud and nothing of rock!

Sushi Rock is our go-to sushi place in Arlington. The restaurant is beautifully appointed with lovely urban views. We absolutely love the sushi! I’m not as adventurous as my husband with roll choices, but we always get a variety and they’re all delicious. We tried the tempura fried ice cream for dessert and it was amazing!
