In providing the place for people to do this, Sushi Rock represents the perspective that both can be done in a fun and entertaining environment full of energy. Sushi Rock embodies the opportunity to be the local watering hole, the destination, the cozy meet-up place, the big group place or the special event place.

    Initially the experience was decent although our drinks were not that good. Then we noticed a swarm of ants circling our feet. We told our server and she was very nonchalant and said it was because of the food. We only have chips and guacamole. Anya were crawling under and around our table and near the wall where we were seated. I think it was more disturbing that the server was so uncaring and then rushed to clear our table off.

    This was an expected treat. Emely greeted me with such warmth and kindness ….it made me feel like I’d been a customer for years. The entire staff was superb. Everyone was personable, attentive, and courteous. I had a delicious Tuna tartare appetizer, which consisted of a series of well-balanced flavors. Nothing overpowering the tuna (granted, I asked for the sauce on the side) and a Hendrick’s gin tonic. This is a must go-to in NoMa!
