Poor Service, Just Okay Food
My experience at this restaurant was largely negative due to the extremely poor service. I waited 1. 5 hours for two sushi rolls, which is an unacceptable amount of time.
Consequently, I wouldn’t recommend this place. The food was just okay, and the atmosphere was disappointing as it felt extremely small and not pretty inside.

Delicious Food, Excellent Service, Surprisingly Empty
I visited this restaurant on a Tuesday for lunch and was the only customer present. Despite this, the waitress was diligently preparing a pick-up order. My order was taken promptly, and I opted for the lunch combo.
The food was delicious and offered great value for the price. Given the quality of the food and the excellent service, I was genuinely surprised the restaurant wasn't busier.

Phenomenal Sushi Find!
We were in the mood for sushi and wanted to try something new. We discovered this place via Open Table, and what a find! The food was phenomenal and the service was excellent.
We are very particular about sushi quality, and this was top notch and not the same old stuff you get elsewhere. It's a nice curated menu, and we loved everything. Try the inari!

Modern Sushi with Outstanding Food
My experience at The Roll was fantastic! It's easily one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried recently. The vibe here is very modern and contemporary, with clean lines, nice lighting, and a relaxed yet stylish feel that makes you want to stay a little longer.
It doesn’t feel like a typical sushi joint; it’s got more of a trendy, upscale atmosphere while still being comfortable. The food itself was outstanding. Everything we ordered tasted super fresh, and you could really tell the quality of the fish.
The sushi had that perfect balance of texture and flavor, and every bite felt light but satisfying. On top of that, the way the dishes were plated was beautiful – you almost don’t want to touch it at first because it looks so nice. Overall, if you’re looking for sushi that’s both delicious and presented in a modern, stylish setting, The Roll should definitely be on your list.

A Surprisingly Delicious Sushi Experience
After visiting Japan in February, I was hesitant to try sushi in the States, as it's tough to match. However, I decided to test the waters again with The Roll, and I have to say, WOW! I was pleasantly surprised.
The rolls were so flavorful, the wasabi so fresh, and their traditional cheesecake is a whole other level of incredible. The staff and service were spot on, as was the restaurant's clean and cool ambience. Do yourself a favor and give this sushi place a try.
I look forward to the next time I'm in town just for this place.

Delicious Sushi and Great Vibe!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! Everything I ordered was so delicious. The sushi was incredibly fresh.
I particularly enjoyed the Oden soup and the moriawase and Inari set. I would recommend this place for a date night, as it has a good vibe.

Decent Sushi with Small Portions
My experience at this restaurant was decent. I tried their lunch futomaki, which was served with a small seaweed salad. The inari was also quite good.
While the flavor was present, I found the portions to be a bit small for the price.

Consistently Stunning Food and Atmosphere
I've been a regular here for a while, and the food quality is consistently stunning. Seriously, the food is no joke—even the side dishes are incredibly fresh. You absolutely have to try the Signature Roll and the Kaisen Don—you won't regret it.
They also recently added Temaki hand-rolls, which are amazing for the price. As for a side, the Oden is a must-have; its broth has a deep, savory umami that warms your body and soul. It’s honestly my favorite thing on the menu for pairing.
The atmosphere is comfortable and clean, and I'm quickly becoming a regular here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
