On trendy, competitive South Beach, longevity is rare, yet Sushi Rock SoBe has prospered since 1994 as one of the most popular restaurants in town. Its formula for success is remarkably simple -- combine consistently good sushi with classic rock 'n' roll and neon in a dark, edgy environment more akin to a nightclub than a Japanese restaurant. 

Sushi Rock prides itself on always providing the freshest fish, expertly prepared by loyal sushi chefs who have called the place home for years. The service, from a friendly, energetic waitstaff, is consistently good, too. But there are other sushi bars in town with good fish and decent service. What sets Sushi Rock apart is its obsessive focus on great music and the culture of rock 'n' roll. Classic album covers adorn the walls, along with electric guitars, Elvis memorabilia and timeless photos of the Beatles in performance during their heyday. On the sound system, Jerry Lee Lewis pounds out "Great Balls of Fire" or the room gets hopping with disco gem "YMCA" by The Village People.

For its wonderful eclecticism and consistent quality, Sushi Rock draws a South Beach insider crowd of scene-makers, such as models, artists, writers, club owners, media moguls and other restaurateurs. The place also appeals to mainstream tourists, conventioneers and assorted eccentrics. 

Interestingly, its owner, Mr. Sunny, is Thai, not Japanese.

Keep coming back, the food is always fresh, they cut the sashimi the way you want if you ask, and they always try to invent new rolls. I try new places but keep coming back to Sushi Rock.

Reviewer: Leandro from Miami Beach Recommended: Yes Overall Rating: Service: 4-Good Ambiance: 3-Fair Food Quality: 3-Fair Value for Price: 3-Fair Review:  Rolls are too big for my taste. Is not the best sushi of South Beach. For around the same price you can try Bond St on 20th and Collins. Much better food, and value for the buck. But I guess Sushi rock is ok if you don't want to get to 20th St.

Everything came out incredibly fast, was super fresh and they have some of the most reasonable prices on the beach. The place itself has a personality all its own. None of the expected South Beach pretentiousness here, just a nice mix of families, locals and the occasional hipster or two. I would recommend the Sushi Rock.
