Rock-n-Sake Bar & Sushi

Delicious and the staff was very attentive

Sushi and service were great! Amber was our waitress she knew the menu thoroughly, was able to point out some great suggestions and made sure our drinks were full.
The fish was fresh, tasty, well paired by the guys behind the counter.
I would have given 5 stars but there was an hour wait starting at 9pm. I saw a lot of tables not being bused while we waited which could have helped speed up the process.

Came back here after 8 years and rolls are as good as its ever been. A must stop sushi place!

Best sushi I’ve ever had. Not sure why it’s not 5 stars. That’s dumb. Upside down roll changed my life. Rock n sake or die.

This place is like a sushi disco. The music is loud and they seemed to have had a difficult time seating a party of 10, so they squeezed us into the table. If you like rolls I recommend the upside down roll, it’s filling within itself and is a heated roll, but has plenty of flavoring to enjoy. You’ll like this place if you like that sort of atmosphere. But be prepared because the restrooms looked like I walked into a concerts bathroom (no toilet paper, toilet paper on the floor) they definitely need to work on that. The food is good though!

Music is like a dance club, waited an hour and a half for a table of 5, but ended up leaving because they still didn’t seat us by the time we were hangry and cranky from waiting so long. Couldn’t tell you about the food and never will, because I’m not returning

I’ve been here several times… best sushi anywhere… lsu roll is great… upside down roll is to die for!

I’m writing as a non sushi fan, so this probably isn’t fair. However, I had the teriyaki chicken meal and it was probably the worst teriyaki chicken I’ve ever had. It was grilled chicken drowned in cold, flat out not good teriyaki syrup. The rice was equally as bad. Not a fan.

I will preface this review with saying that I am not a sushi fan. There are some things that I like at some sushi restaurants but to my palate all the rolls generally taste the same. I’m not a roll person. I don’t care for tasteless white rice, a glob of cream cheese and some raw fish. I don’t hate it but I’m just not a fan. So basically my point is when I am at a sushi restaurant, I want something besides rolls.
Rock-​n-​sake is waaaaaay more than sushi rolls. If you dig rolls, of course they have those too. The girlfriend and I met some friends here one night. They are sushi fanatics and said this was the place to be. We got here a little early so we sat at the bar and got a few drinks. She had one of their signature cocktails while I simply got a beer. Not a lot of choices in the beer department but enough to shut me up. We started off with the beef and asparagus maki. It’s asparagus wrapped in beef drizzled with a hot teriyaki sauce. I could have eaten 50 of these. For an entrée I got the Harvest Tuna Sashimi. it’s raw tuna on a granny smith apple slice with goat cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette drizzle over the top. Very tasty but very skimpy on the portions for the price. The girlfriend got the Volcano Roll and it looked like the roll had erupted all over the plate. It looked like a huge pile of orange slop but after she made me try it, it was surprising good despite my distaste for mayo.
I hear it can get a little rowdy in here with the music and crowd but we were here early enough to get a senior citizen discount. No judging we bar hopped after! I’d definitely come back but I liked what I had so much that I’d be hard pressed to try anything else.

Overall very good sushi, some of the best I’ve had! Sort of feels like your in a night club with the loud music and neon lights, but its not that bad & the food makes up for it! The shrimp wontons were great, volcano roll– phenomenal! And the Pb&j roll for dessert was pretty good as well! Tasted like a crunchy Pb&j sandwich!

The sushi is high quality, the atmosphere is nice, the bartender was great. I will come back here to get my fix when I’m in NO.
Bar has several tvs so I could watch the game and music wasn’t so loud I couldn’t hear people speak. I enjoyed the backlit bartop and the stools weren’t uncomfortable. Wells are about $ 6, which I suppose is average. There is also a pretty good sized dining area, but i only saw it in passing.
On this visit I got the BBQ eel, California sunset, and triple S roll all of which were fantastic despite being in the three different price tiers. Menu didn’t have prices on it which is great for bringing dates, but a little irritating if you’re trying to be thrifty. The triple S (at $ 18) is totally worth it with just enough kick and it’s a lot of food. California sunset was very tasty and came with a spicy dipping sauce which was also fantastic, and the BBQ eel was flavorful despite its simplicity.
I know it’s hard to find bad food in NO, but this place exceeded expectation. I look forward to trying some of there other items next time

I was brought here for my bachelorette party. I really enjoyed the atmosphere for a fun night with the girls. I probably would not come here with just anyone on any day. This is def a fun/​party place. All the food was really good and reasonable priced. The wait for a table was not that long for a Saturday night and they had a full house. The food came out pretty quick. I did order a glass of wine and was very disappointed at the size of it. It was barely enough for 3 sips. Overall though, I did enjoy it. The

We ordered salmon zest roll, Hawaii 5 – 0 and Rock-​N-​Roll. They were average if not less in size and flavor. The service was amazing but the foods flavor lacked. We also ordered the teriyaki chicken, it was pretty good (huge plate). Beer prices are good ($ 4.50-$ 6.00). Overall I would not return.

Triple S and Voodoo Queen are all you need to fulfill your life and chuck in a sake bomb for good measure! The service was spot on. I could not fault anything

I would definitely give this place 5 Stars for food alone, but that’s not the only part of the restaurant experience.
The rolls here are excellent. I love the creativeness of the chefs and the unique rolls they come up with. They are a decent size and some can be pretty pricey. I recommend the LSU, California Sunset, Triple S and the Red Dragon. But i honestly haven’t had a roll that I didn’t enjoy save for one.
The service is for the most part consistent. I’ve had great service and I’ve had not so great service.
One of the negatives is the music. Now I usually don’t care what music a restaurant plays, but I do when I have my children with me. I’ve been there at 5:30 — 6:00 with children and they were blaring explicit music. I think that is very inappropriate for that time of afternoon. If it’s 9:30 — 10:00, who cares because it’s a club scene and it’s mostly adults.
Get the Beef & Asparagus Maki appetizer, it’s fantastic!

Came here again on a Wednesday night, place was packed, played good music. We sat at the bar, ordered the pork belly lettuce wraps which are my fave, tried the shrimp wontons, it was good but I’ve had better so don’t think I’ll order that again. The upside down roll and the garlic salmon roll are our usual orders for sushi which were super good! And for dessert, we had the strawberry Mochi which is another fave but I wanted to try out their Tempura ice cream this time and that was super yummy! It hit the spot!
This place is not to disappoint! I couldn’t leave New Orleans and go home without eating here again. This place has amazing Japanese food! I’m all about trying new restaurants so if I’m back at a place I’ve already eaten at before, then it’s definitely worth coming to again in my books!

I’ve ways heard mixed reviews about this place, but I’ve never had anything but good experiences here. It’s a great place for some good food and a few drinks before starting a big night. The long and short of it:
1. 5 S Roll. My favorite thing on the menu. It’s a bit expensive but it’s a lot of delicious food. Other notables are the LSU Roll and Warehouse Roll.
2. Atmosphere. It’s loud. Like, club loud. On weekends it will be packed and there’s always loud techno/​house music playing. Sometimes to the point where it’s hard to carry on a conversation. Good for some events, I don’t think I’ve ever been there on a Friday where there wasn’t at least 1 bachelorette party there.
3. Customization. The sushi there is all good, but they were able to make a slew of modified rolls for my vegetarian friend. Always a plus.
4. Price. They’re a bit on the pricy side, especially their specialty rolls. Though you don’t need a whole lot, 3 specialty rolls will serve 2 people.
A solid sushi joint in the CBD. On weekends you’ll end up waiting on a table do head to one of the bars in the area for a pre-​sushi drink!
Overall Grade: B

Rock-​n-​Sake opens at 5:30 and not one minute earlier! If you want to go here before going out, I suggest getting here between 5:30 — 6:30 because otherwise you are going to wait. We had a table of 8 and the service was great. I ended up being a bit of a lush at dinner because I ordered:
Vegetable Tempura ($ 6.5)
Hawaii 5 – 0 ($ 12.5)
Crunchy Roll (I always order this everywhere I go) ($ 6)
and split a bottle of wine with my cousin.
Now, when it comes to sushi I am not very adventurous — I do not like fish. I am good with the «crab» that comes in crunchy rolls, so I always make sure I get one of those (and it is always fun to try the same roll at different locations).
My adventurous roll — the Hawaii 5 – 0 — was made out of coconut-​tempura shrimp and cream cheese rolled with mangos and avocados on the outside. I highly suggest getting this roll if fish is not your thing!

I’ve been to Rock N’ Sake plenty of times, but I don’t think I’ve ever written a review, so here goes.
The good:
Fun, lively atmosphere.
Could be great for a first date, since it’s not too quiet.
Good service.
Really great sushi. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the volcano roll. The LSU roll is another favorite.
The bad:
Being in the warehouse distict, parking can be difficult.
While I love the lively atmosphere, with the cool music… it can get loud, which makes it difficult to hear each other if you’re in a group.
Prices are about what you’d expect.

A great sushi spot in the CBD if you’re into the club scene during the weekend and don’t mind a good bit of waiting if you arrive after 7pm on a Friday or Saturday, I mean it’s the perfect time to scope out who will be down at Republic later and it probably doesn’t get poppin’ till midnight anyway.
That being said, I’m not a huge «club» goer and on a Tuesday night, despite it being pretty easy to grab a table for 8, I’m not huge on the blaring house music (though I will say we were right under the speaker but I can’t imagine a full restaurant with the music playing that loud on a packed night). What’s great is the staff doesn’t take on the club like atmosphere mentality and are very attentive from my personal experience recently.
We went for my boyfriend’s birthday though were were having trouble nailing down exact numbers. Reservations for 10 or more have an 8 point reservation policy and trying to get a call-​back to make a res was a little hard, but during the early part of the week, you should be fine sans reservation.
We had edamame, miso soup, cucumber salad, and a handful of rolls including the spicy tuna, Red Dragon*, and Salmon Zest*. The Salmon Zest (Robert’s choice) was okay, the lemon zest added a nice hint of flavor, but I’m not huge on snowcrab, and I don’t think we received the spicy ponzu dipping sauce on the side now that I think about it since they all came on one plate. The Red Dragon roll was solid, and I would absolutely order that one again. Sometimes sushi rolls seem a little mushy to me, so the tempura flakes and roe give the spicy tuna (which I already love) extra texture making it easier to enjoy.
I would also suggest the Hawaii 5-​O roll with coconut shrimp and cream cheese rolled with mangoes and avocados on the outside. I liked the sweet crunchiness of it, though I only stole one piece from our friends.
I would go back during the early part of the week since their weekend crowd isn’t really my scene, but it wouldn’t hurt if they chose a more zen playlist for their less busy days.
Salmon Zest: Fresh salmon and snowcrab rolled in soybean paper and topped with fresh salmon and fresh grated lemon zest served with spicy ponzu dipping sauce on the side.
Red Dragon Roll: Spicy tuna with crunchy tempura batter flakes rolled on the inside topped with fresh tuna, spicy mayo, green onions, smelt roe, and crunchy tempura flakes on the outside.
