Rockin' Rolls Sushi

I came for dinner on a Saturday night. Sometimes you have to look for parking, but luckily there were spots out front. I was immediately helped and everything was explained. I was able to get my drink and all the condiments I wanted. I like how all the condiments are self-serve. I sat down and I was ready to start. Throughout the meal, I ordered several things off the iPad including hibachi steak and crab Rangoon. It did take a bit to come out, but I didn’t mind because of the conveyer belt. I do wish the iPads were connected by a cord because the interface is hard to see as the iPad is in a cage on one end of the table. Also, the interface is a bit laggy as the iPads are from before 2020. On the converter belt, I had many dishes including edamame, cheesecake, sashimi, and many sushi rolls. I enjoyed rolls, such as the Raleigh roll, Queen roll, naughty crab roll, shrimp tempura roll, volcano roll, etc. Ironically they did not have a standard Philadelphia roll. There was the Las Vegas roll, but it was a deep fried version. There were periods throughout the meal, where there was literally almost no food on the belt. I’m not sure what was going on there. While waiting I did enjoy their playlist of music.I did try the salmon and tuna sashimi. They were definitely not as high quality, but the price justifies it. Speaking of that, the price is amazing. It is only around $18 for dinner and the food is unlimited. I had not been here since 2021 and I am amazed the price is still the same. There are several unlimited sushi experiences in Charlotte, but this one is by far the best value and unique experience. In fact, they are now called Neo Sushi Express. Next time you are in Charlotte make sure to stop by.

The first thing I did when I arrived was tell them it was my first time. They explained everything to me about how it works. -The food isn't good. -They gave me a table at the end of the route and almost nothing arrived. -They should organize the logistics better. -They never collected my plates at any time. …The only thing I was able to enjoy was the cheesecake.

Rockin Rolls Sushi provides a unique dinning experience with the conveyer belt sushi delivery. The belt sends plates of a multitude of rolls and side past the table, where patrons can open the window and pull them off of the track directly at their table. The sushi was good, although lacking in variety. It felt like about half of the rolls were fried rolls and about half were nigiri. There was a few different option but not too many. The only thing that really concerned me, was there was no way for the customer to know how long a particular plate of food had been on the belt. Transparency here on that matter would've been nice, and not having it did dissuade me from certain options as freshness is key to their flavor. While I don't think I would drive out of my way to Rockin Rolls Sushi again, if I just happen to find myself in the area and want sushi then I would eat here a second time.

So, from the time I walked, I was pumped because I love Japanese food. I planned to break my fast. The price increased by $3, which is always a bad sign. I get to the table. I used a tablet to order my dinner entree, but you get sides off the belt, which is very limited. They don't provide many ways to customize your $20+ meal. Smh. I digress. The food was just okay. I asked if I could get mines well done, and they told me they just cooked it all at once, and how it comes is how it comes. I was so disappointed. Poor good customer service. It's just lazy, except for runners and kitchen. I plan to post this on TripAdvisor, Yelp, or wherever because this is the most disappointing Japanese experience ever. 😞 I was going to go 2 stars 🌟 but as I write ✍️🏾 they lost another star. 1 🌟 👎I do not recommend Rockin Rolls Suchi. Save your money and time. Their music playlist is dope 🎶. To end on a positive note 📝

For a sushi gourmet this is not the place, very mediocre taste. The idea is really cool, and that’s what attracts people here. It is “All you can eat”, including the ordered food from the pad at the table. I liked that the portions are small so you can try different. The atmosphere is a bit more on the cheap canteen style. Service is good, fast, responsive, they come to your table and pick up your little plates regularly.

The customer service was good. We ordered a few things from the regular menu assigned to our table. Those orders came out a little slow, even with hardly any one in the restaurant. Also, the hibachi isn't really good. It came out burnt and way too salty multiple times . The sushi and sweet are delicious. I wish they had more options or changed them out from time to time because there are few options that make you go 🥴. It's priced well for what you get.

Fantastic place for families with young kids! We are a family of four with a young son and daughter, and we all had a blast. The atmosphere is fun, welcoming, and perfect for children. If you're expecting a fine dining experience where you’ll spend $100–200 per person, this probably isn’t your spot. But if you’re looking for a fun and family-friendly dining experience with great value, we highly recommend it.

Fun sushi eatery with plenty of options. I’ll say the desserts aren’t good at all. Purely my opinion but i wouldn’t waste time on desserts and concentrate on what’s actually good. My wife is a fan of the tofu and other vegetarian options as well. She’s a huge fan of the teriyaki veggies. Personally I think it’s a bit pricey, but my wife is a huge fan. Happy wife happy life😁. My favorite was the teriyaki steak. The rice rounded that out perfectly.

I thought they were closed at first but when I walked in I was immediately surprised by the size of this place. It was very nice and clean. I ordered to go so I did not eat in the restaurant but I would definitely make it a point to dine in the next time. The food was delicious. The service was great.

This was the first time I've come back since covid ended. During covid they adapted and you ordered all the sushi off the iPad and it was brought to your table. They have returned to the conveyor belt which in my opinion was disappointing. The sushi that was supposed to be hot was cold, since it's been on the belt. The edamame was cold as well. The sushi is $17 per person for all you can eat, so I think the quality should be expected. But I found the quality and options to be disappointing. Servers however were very nice and attentive

I love this place for a cheap all you can eat sushi experience. It's also awesome. That appetizers and hot dishes are also included. Lunch during the week is cheaper than dinner or weekends.

If you haven't had decent sushi then I guess you have nothing to compare it to, but if you have had good sushi then this place will be pretty terrible. The rice is all wrong. It doesn't taste like sushi rice. The texture is harder. The rolls on the belt feel old. If there is a sauce, it is drenched. Anything fried on the belt, feels oily. It tastes like cheap sushi, but to be fair, it is all you can eat sushi. I think the best thing you can get here is ordering from the hot menu on the iPad. The hibachi is not the best, but it's decent. It is clean in there and service is fast and it's nice that they have a sauce station. I personally would just pay more for good sushi somewhere else. If I'm going to eat raw fish, then I'm gonna want it to be good quality.

Swung by to finally try Rockin Rolls. You pay at the front and it is all you can eat. There is a sauce bar with tons of options. Once seated you can select a couple of options for hibachi or other appetizers. The sushi goes around on a conveyer belt and you select what you want to eat. You slide a little door and grab a plate. Such a cute idea and fun place to try new rolls!

Before we get started, let's set our expectations correctly: this is all you can eat sushi and hibachi for less than $15 (lunch) and less than $20 for dinner. I'd like to consider it as the Cici's Pizza of sushi, but a notch above. ( Note: Please wear your stretchy clothes because I left with a 16 month old food baby.) ADULTS: THERE IS NO ALCOHOL, so it's a family friendly environment. The customer service was good and the people at the register were friendly. They have booths and individual seats if you come alone. The food comes on a conveyor belt and you grab what you like as you go. There's also a tablet where you can order hot food such as egg/spring rolls, crab rangoons, shrimp tempura, hibachi, etc. The hot food comes at no additional cost and is included in the price of the buffet Also, there were a few desserts to choose from. Food: 7.5 out of 10 There is a wide variety of things to choose from such as Christmas rolls, Philadelphia rolls, seaweeed salad, etc. The sushi was pretty good, but some rolls contained a lot of rice compared others. (I understand they probably have to make things stretch due to it being a buffet style.) The steak for the hibachi was a tad chewy, but the vegetables were nicely cooked. The hibachi sauce is very tasty! There was a cheesecake and a chocolate mousse cake for dessert. The cheesecake wasn't my favorite. The cheese wasn't sweet and it was a little too prevalent for my taste. The topping on the mousse was good, but the cake was a little cardboard-y. Speed of Service: 6/10 There were 2 different sections of booths. The side that I wasn't sitting on seemed to have food rolling out faster for about 10-15 minutes but they eventually caught up. Also, it took about 30-40 minutes for my order of steak hibachi and shrimp tempura to come to the table. There was a lot of people when I came, so it may be a shorter wait time if there are less people. Parking is available in the front and adjacent streets. Overall, it's a good cheap eat. I would recommend to a friend, but just make sure you let them know it isn't fine dining sushi.

Been here several times before finally reviewing it. Been a few times for lunch and now once for dinner. You pay at the start, and this most recent time was $60 for the 4 of us (2 kids). The sushi quality is buffet standard, so don't expect anything incredible. Still, the kids always have a blast with taking their own food as it comes, and I only have to scold them a few hundred times to only take what they're actually gonna eat and not to put any dishes back! They also have a tablet at each table where you can order kitchen appetizers, kids menu items, and hibachi. The hibachi steak is definitely worth getting, and you can load up on your sauces near the drink station. You can get a cup of water for free, and I just happened to get some pink lemonade because I guess I forgot to hit the water button. Oops! Anyway, I'd like to see a bigger selection on the conveyor belt, since it can get rather repetitive, but you won't leave feeling hungry by any means! Place always seems pretty clean too and has a trendy ambiance. It's a bit of a ride for us coming from Winston, but if you're gonna be in Charlotte anyway, it's worth stopping in, especially if you've never done conveyor belt sushi before.

All you can eat sushi! It's what you can expect, a casual meal. I liked grabbed the food off the conveyer belt. Staff was nice. Good for a fun meal, but not going to be the best sushi of your life.

Went for lunch with a couple gal pals. They were excited about how low cost it was. I was a bit reticent. $13.99 AYCE conveyor belt sushi seems suspect. We were there after the lunch rush (if there ever was one) maybe three other tables in the whole place. You pay at the counter, everything is self service. The sushi itself was fine, a LOT of rice, not quite enough filling, okay variety and decent amounts, never had to wait for a piece we wanted. The fact that the AYCE price included the fresh ordered from the kitchen items, like teriyaki/hibachi, dumplings, crab Rangoon and fried rice, make it worth a stop. My pregnant friend got the chicken teriyaki and said it was quite tasty and veggies were cooked properly. The fried items were nothing to write home about, but not terrible. Now, this COULD be completely unrelated, as I felt fine the rest of the day, but the next day I was dealing with some very unusual nausea spells. Can't say it was from here, neither of my friends felt ill, but I cannot rule it out either.

Super gross. They put all the sushi for two separate orders on the same plate. They were all soggy and the sauces blended together. The rice tasted old and over cooked and the crab meat didn't taste good at all and the my upcharged for an add on to not put it on the correct roll. I don't recommend.

This is fine establishment, I like the sushi here and the cake super light. People are kind here and ambiance is top teir

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Keep your expectations reasonable, and you'll love it. Obviously, don't expect a gourmet sushi experience, but they have a decent selection and it tastes good. The conveyor belt is fun. The kids loved it. We didn't let them sit by the conveyor belt, of course, but they could easily see it and let us know when they wanted something. Another really neat thing is that you can order cooked items from the menu for no additional charge. The only negative was that they did not have any miso soup, which is an expected staple at a sushi restaurant. They said the miso soup machine was broken, so hopefully they get that worked out soon. Overall, everyone left full and happy.

It was good but I would have like more choices. My fiancé cannot have fish so when I saw that you guys have more things than just fish or sushi we like that but when it takes so long where I like sushi and he can't have it I was full by the time his food showed up.

I've been to conveyor belt type sushi before in other big cities and was excited to see it here in Charlotte. Variety is nice, price is fantastic, and nice to have a small selection of menu order items (included in buffet price). The sushi was fresh and we stayed for a little over an hour and I noticed they changed out a couple of items so the variety was good. I agree with others that the amount of rice to other ingredients was a little high, but I also enjoyed the different items so I can't complain since I could get more of them without having to pay more. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the proportion of rice to filling. Hostess and staff were nice. After you sit most of their interaction with you is either delivering items you order from the menu or picking up your used dishes. Overall service was good. Definitely recommend as a casual and quick sushi meal and was fun for us as an easy date night!

Came to try this place out for a date night as we were both craving sushi. I will say this is a fun and different experience for sure. This is on Elizabeth Ave, so parking can be found beside in a parking lot of side street parking. During the week it is paid parking. We went on a Saturday around 630pm, and it was not as busy as I thought. This is an all you can eat so you pay at the front and then sit at your table and start grabbing sushi of your choice as it passes by you on the conveyer belt. The sushi was tasty. It was not bad at all, but it definitely could have been fresher. If you wanted anything other than sushi such as an appetizer or a hibachi meal, you can order from the tablet that is on the table at no additional cost as it's included in the price. It's definitely a good date night experience. Something different for us, and we are definitely coming back again for sure! If you're in the area and want to try it out, I recommend it.

Solid 3 stars. Tastes like Chinese buffet sushi. Not too many options. You get what you pay for. It was ok to try, not amazing. Meh. You prepay including tip, fill your own drink. Can order from ipad at table as well for a few appetizers, no sushi.

It's a fun experience. We went on a Monday at 1pm. We were the only ones in there. I don't know if they offer more variety for dinner? I enjoyed the appetizers you order on the kiosk. The options were very basic. I like basic sushi, so that's not necessarily a bad thing. They were all things I would select. I felt the sushi didn't have much filling tho. So that was disappointing. It was fine for a quick lunch. Both desserts tasted freezer burned. I like the sauce choices. The place was very clean.

Conveyor style sushi place. Please don't expect high rate of sushi. this isn't all you can eat place, so you definitely get what you pay for. I gave it four stars because for the price the sushi and food is pretty tasty but their chopsticks are for smaller hands, then again I'm 6'2 and can easily palm a basketball all in all, been there 2xs when I don't want to spend a lot and have a variety of dishes. I also like their options to order off the conveyor belt, and no additional price (all you can eat.) Check them out and support your local businesses.

No service Reasonable food for the price paid Atmosphere is dedicate to eat and go as fast you can Price is the star of this restaurant

So fun! We finally returned here with our kids and if you're in Charlotte for the day with kids I highly recommend this place. Both of my kids had the time of their lives grabbing sushi and cakes from the conveyor belt and ordering other things from the iPad. Both kids were huge smiles the whole time! Great value and enough variety to feel like you had a good amount of stuff.

This is the best conveyer belt sushi in charlotte. The food was delicious. The service was amazing. I liked how you could order plates of food directly to your table.

Cheap but definitely get what you pay for. Way better options in Charlotte for AYCE sushi

For conveyor belt sushi, it's a lot better than I thought it would be. It's nothing special, but the price is very reasonable and the dishes are quite good. Plus, I'll admit, it's a little fun. :-)

Lunch date with the Nibblings and some friends at Rockin' Rolls Sushi Express. It was a fun experience watching the sushi travel on the conveyor belt. Now the sushi isn't the most gourmet sushi out there but it's decent. I enjoyed the volcano roll, shrimp tempura roll and the seaweed salad. You can supplement the sushi with items off the iPad. We ordered Teriyaki Chicken Hibachi, Veggie Spring Rolls, Shumai, Crab Rangoon, Veggie Tempura, Shrimp Tempura and Beef Gyoza off the iPad. The nibblings really enjoyed opening the conveyor belt doors and grabbing the sushi. I like how you could grab all the condiments you needed from the condiment area. FYI parking is on the side of the building close to 1900 Mexican Grill. I would recommend you give Rockin' Rolls Sushi Express a try to experience the conveyor belt action! Rockin' Rolls Sushi Express 1523 Elizabeth Ave Ste 130 Charlotte, NC 28204 (Review 695 overall, 40 in 2022)

Economical conveyor belt sushi. You're free to eat whatever passes by - which appeals to your fancy - without considering "How much is this piece?". The ala carte orders via tableside tablet arrives in a reasonable time. Good choice for a casual meal!

Probably the worst sushi I have ever had. I think gas station sushi would taste better and more fresh. My family ate there on 02/03/24 and all were grossed out and felt sick after eating.

I came here for dinner on a trip to Charlotte and it was a fantastic experience. The conveyor belt is so unique and I loved being able to try out all the different types. The sushi itself wasn't amazing quality, especially the fried ones, but I thought it was still great for the price and the experience. They have little kiosks on the table where you can order items from the kitchen, and everything came out really fast. The appetizers were a highlight. Don't forget to check out the sauce bar -- they had great options and I enjoyed mixing and matching.

First time here. Great food and fun. Lots to choose from. Very affordable. I have been to an all you can eat sushi before and you almost have to take a second mortgage on your house to pay for it.

All you can eat sushi and it's good ‍ Came here for the conveyer belt and discovered entrees and appetizers are included with the sushi

I am hooked on Sushi!! I looked on line for a Ayce , so hard to find without being on a chinese buffet. Anyone who has had Japanese Sushi knows there is a difference! There is no comparison. When you arrive you pay before you are told where to sit. They are practicing social distancing and doing every other table as well as they shut the conveyor Off that they normally serve the the sushi at each table.. I have heard of this from friends in other places. Would have been a fun experience. Here you use a ipad to keep the orders coming, it is mounted on every table. it's pretty fast. Then someone brings to your table. As much as you want when you want. We really did enjoy everything. The service was great keeping the empty plates off the table. They have quite a bit to pick from , nothing too fancy on the rolls. The one that had a banana in it was ok, alittle sweet and different, that was a must try. It was a pretty good place not as good as Vegas Ayce Sushi but it helps finding one we like that isn't too far away. We would go back for sure sometime.

Fun idea to have a revolving sushi experience but from start to finish I was not impressed. I've been to other sushi places like this where the food is much fresher. Thinest slivers of sashimi, rice heavy rolls, spicy tuna/salmon mostly crunch pieces. The gyoza were good. Staff was polite though which saved them from 2 stars

Been here multiple times since I've first heard about it in 2021, To keep it short, I highly recommend. The staff is always super friendly and the food is very good! Great experience every single time I decide to eat here.

We love this restaurant, at first it had some questionable reviews that made me avoid it; but we took a leap and have been here twice. All you can eat sushi!! Unlimited appetizers and meals via a table iPad. They don't have a liquor license, but that's ok! Great place to come when you don't know what you want for dinner this place definitely pops my collar. Why 4 stars, because everyone can improve.

This place was definitely fun to experience. 10/10 on the fun and different scale for trying sushi. The conveyor belt moves quick but not too quick, and you get your own private window to pull plates from. For the price you pay of $17, it's absolutely worth it. We had a blast and we're stuffed within 15 minutes.

It's a pretty good deal for sushi. Atmosphere is a bit dark, but there's plenty of seating. The sushi is decent quality. You pay a flat fee up front and then you just self-serve whatever sushi you like from the comfort of your table. One criticism is that there weren't a lot of tuna sushi. Also there were items listed as having crab, but really seemed to be fake crab. Overall, though it was decent sushi for a fair price. I will gladly return again someday.

we got seated in booth 30 and no food got to us. we had to order off the menu but the whole reason we came was for sushi. I usually love this place but this time has me not wanting to come back again.

I love this place . Every time I'm in town I make it a point to stop here ! Good parking options, great location, and a nice clean interior. Selection and freshness are always excellent and the staff is amazing.

Went to this restaurant for 5 months. Always looked forward to it. Am wondering if they have new owners. Won't be returing; here's why: (1) It's a dimmed light (dark) environement, soothing right? Not anymore - now they play very loud hip hop music - not want I want to hear relaxing at lunch. In the past it was relaxing music. (2) The sushi selection is suddenly greatly reduced and the maakis were not yummy like before, sort of boring. (3) Ordered the vegetable tempura which prior had been so good. This time not so great. (4) A person working in the kitchen must have been incredibly angry -- slamming and banging very loudly dishes and other things non-stop for 40 of the 45 minutes I was there. Left w/ a headaches. Never witnessed such a thing in a restaurant in my life. There were other things to make me not want to return, but I'll stop there. In the past they were very busy at lunchtime - nearly every seat taken - but today it was mostly empty.

A little dark and gloomy when you walk in. Staff were super nice and very observant to your needs. Sushi conveyor-belt was super unique and had about 12 options for sushi, 2 salads, and edamame. Oh and cheesecake and chocolate cake! You can order appetizers, sides, kids food, and hibachi from the iPad on the table (takes about 8 minutes to have it delivered to your table) Eat whatever you want- totally awesome. Belt was restocked the entire time. It was a cool experience and we will definitely go back there again! If you are looking for high end-top notch yellowfin---turn around---but if you are good kickin it with volcano rolls, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, Philly, Cali, and the OG's THIS IS YOUR SPOT. $17 for dinner?! Hell yes! Kylee (6 y/o) says "are you kidding me right now, this is SO good.

so this was one of my favorite restaurants up until about yesterday the foods quality is decreasing they are rushing and serving food that is out of the fridge i know there is a shortage in saracha but change the roll not put something else on it that doesn't belong

Rockin' Rolls is a fun sushi buffet place. If you're a big eater, you can probably get your money's worth from this place. I went to Rockin' Rolls for lunch on Saturday with some friends.The price was about 16 dollars before tip (no drink, just water included). The staff explained the concept, and then we sat at a booth next to the conveyor belt. The sushi is overall mediocre. It's your typical sushi buffet fare. There's some standard rolls as well as some unique ones. I tried a fun roll that had a banana in it. The rolls are overall small, but that's okay because you can eat as many as you'd like. The reason I'm giving four stars is because the sushi overall isn't super flavorful or tasty. It's just okay, and for the price I wasn't overly impressed. The ambiance is trendy-modern, and there was plenty of seating. The restaurant was pretty quiet for Saturday lunch. I'd say come for the novelty of the sushi conveyor belt and decent sushi. Just don't expect to be blown away by quality or value. Pro tip: Use the touch screen tablets to order specific sushi rolls or dishes. This sushi tends to be better than the sushi that rotates on the conveyor belt.

First time being at a revolving sushi bar, the price was great service was fast. My son love trying all the different types of food without having to order everything.

Food was cheap and refills on drinks and sauces were easy. But sushi was not fresh and the hot menu was limited and didn't come out fast enough. I've had better conveyor belt experience, I wouldn't even go back

Everything was great, sushi tasted fresh and the service wasn't a thing that we had but everything was good.

Don't listen to the negative reviews. Is the sushi top quality? No but you get what you pay for and for only $16 a person for dinner, it a good deal especially in uptown Charlotte where everything is expensive. It's an amazing experience like nothing I've ever seen. The only reason I took off a star is because the drinks and condiments are self serve which is a little weird. Also, it's the same kind of sushi coming around all the time so no large variety but it's nice to get a second chance to grab something. You can also order hot food like hibachi and appetizers via the iPad that's on the table which is really convenient. Overall really liked this place, it's a super cool type of dining will definitely be back.

I came by here earlier this morning and decided to give this place a shot. Mediocre scenery but the sushi was good (favorites were their Naughty Crab and Eel Roll). Service was good, the boy with the long hair was very patient and nice. Overall experience: 8/10

At rockin sushi they have a conveyor belt system that you can grab your sushi from. The concept is very cool, however this is closed during Covid. Now you order from an iPad and it is brought out to you. You pay ahead of time and it is all you can eat. If you really love sushi this isn't the place for you. There are much higher quality sushi restaurants in Charlotte. It tastes like sushi for college kids.

I don't normally give out bad reviews unless my experience was truly that terrible. My husband and I visited on Sunday afternoon for a good lunch & wish we had known the struggles I would have gone through beforehand. When we arrived and saw the $18 pp all you can eat price, I knew that this wasn't the place for me. The conveyor belt concept was cool & for people who eat all kinds of sushi, then I'm sure this place is for you. For vegetarians - STAY AWAY!! As soon as we sat down, I saw a cucumber avocado sushi on the belt and thought okay, this looks promising! I took one of the plates of the belt and patiently waited for another vegetarian roll to come by. 5 minutes...10 minutes...15 minutes go by and still not a single vegetarian roll came to me. Either they weren't making enough vegetarian rolls, or they were being taken by other people before it even got to our table. We had ordered some appetizers (spring rolls, veggie tempura, veggie fried rice) as well but they were all disgusting. I saw a plate of edamame come by on the belt and took that, but they looked like they had been out for awhile & definitely did not taste fresh either. We had went up to the lady at the front to ask if she could request a few veggie rolls to be made and put on the belt, but very rudely she said to us that there were 2 already on the belt. Okay...well if 2 tables before us take the veggie rolls then by the time they come to us, there's actually 0 plates on the belt. Honestly, I would rather spend $18 on a non AYCE place and get my money's worth. Wish the lady had confirmed any food restrictions before we paid & wasted our money. Never returning ever again.

Good sushi. It's nice that the buffet includes hibachi items as well. Customer service could be better but overall great place to eat.

Came here for dinner and it was a really cool experience. The conveyer belt was cool. Sushi was as expected, not that high quality but still a fun place to go.
