Rock & Roll Sushi — Restaurant in Bellingham

I had the most incredible experience at Rock & Roll Sushi in the Bellis Fair Mall food court! I decided to order the Kani Roll, the Rock & Roll combo, as well as a few other rolls and even tried the salmon wok. I was blown away by the quality of the food and how friendly and nice the staff were.

Despite being in a food court, Rock & Roll Sushi can definitely hang with other sushi places with the quality of their food. The Kani Roll was utterly delicious. Its thier take on a California Roll, which elevated the flavor to a whole new level. The Rock & Roll combo was also fantastic.

The staff was incredibly friendly, and their service exceeded my expectations. They made sure everything was perfect, and it was evident that they genuinely cared about making sure that I had the best dining experience possible.

Overall, I highly recommend Rock & Roll Sushi to anyone looking for excellent sushi in the Bellis Fair Mall food court. Despite being located in a casual dining area, the quality of their food and service can definitely hold up to the highest standards of sushi restaurants. The next time I'm in the area, I'll undoubtedly be returning to Rock & Roll Sushi to get...

The reviews here seem to overstate the appeal of this fast food mall sushi joint. I wouldn't recommend it.

The portion size is small in relation to the cost. One can do better at a conventional North American sushi restaurant.

14 of 16 of the rolls we saw listed on the menu were listed as containing "Philadelphia". Yes, you read that right: "Philadelphia". The menu doesn't clarify what is meant by that. Last I checked, it's the name of dozen or so cities, not to mention a song, a movie, and other things. Upon inquiry, this was clarified to mean a brand: "Philadelphia Cream Cheese". Again, not a typical maki ingredient. The menu did not state the existence of an alternative option for maki without cream cheese.

Nonetheless I tried two of these rolls, their "Kani Roll" (rice, kanikama, Philadelphia, avocado, mango, caviar, and chives, $14.00/8pcs) and "New York Phila" (rice, salmon, Philadelphia and avocado with sesame, $14.50/8pcs). Both were served on shredded carrot with a small amount of pickled ginger and wasabi paste on the side.

Neither roll was particularly good — not horrible, but certainly not...

I’m going to preface this by saying I’m not a big fan of cream cheese in my sushi. The majority of the rolls we got in our combo contained cream cheese, and it dominates the flavor of said rolls. Maybe cream cheese is what’s profitable in the mall but personally I would have liked to see more variety excluding cream cheese. My only real concern with the place is that we placed an order and waited about 15-20 minutes. The entire time; and I’m not sure for how much before we got there, there was a samples plate out with rolls some of which contained raw fish. The rule is up to 2 hours for raw fish at room temperature.. so it could have been fine, but not knowing how long those rolls were out made me a bit apprehensive on the freshness of the samples. Overall the service was phenomenal and who I assumed to be the owner serving us was extremely friendly. The 2 chefs in the back seemed to be having a decent time about working there, so the employee atmosphere seemed good as well. Certainly not the best sushi place in town, but for it being a mall sushi place, not...
