One Northern Virginia Restaurant is Celebrating the Holidays with All You Can Eat Sushi!

I enjoy good sushi and Sushi Rock is good sushi!

My first time at Sushi Rock was for an AYCE (All You Can Eat) Memorial Day Holiday Celebration. I was lucky to make it into this sold out event. I hadn’t had AYCE sushi in years and I came hungry.

Sushi Rock is conveniently located near the Court House metro, though I drove and found no issues finding parking. There was also free street parking for the holiday so was I free to enjoy my sushi without worrying about refilling a meter.

The decor inside matches the name perfectly. Sushi Rock is adorned with musical instruments. I love the bright red guitar on the wall and the drumsticks lining the bar. I’m a music lover so this pulled at my heart strings for sure.

You can grab a seat downstairs to be up close and personal with the sushi or take advantage of the view from the second floor. I found a nice seat up top and headed down for my sushi.

The sushi line was wrapped around the restaurant. As I waited my turn I got to explore the beautiful decor but more notably, I had the opportunity to see the sushi making right in front of my eyes. The sushi chefs were slicing fresh fish oh so thin, rolling tight rolls, and sprinkling bits of goodness on top.

Passing the full bar I finally made my way to the sushi table. Not only we’re there rolls, but a variety of other options, salad, chicken, edamame, and BULGOGI SLIDERS! I was beyond excited that the owner brought a tray of these out just as I was about to head back to my seat.

Now for the rolls. As plates emptied the owner and his great staff were putting new plates down. I tried the Stairway to Heaven, You Shook Me All Night, , tuna, yellowtail, and unagi (eel). I did not get to try this bright and interesting looking roll called the Light Up My Fire Roll. I thought I would get in at least two plates, possibly three (I was kidding myself). I had one pate, which was delicious and surprisingly super filling.

Sushi rolls

Sushi Rock has a great drink menu and at the top of the list for me was sake. I love a nice extra hot sake but we are getting into summer so I thought I’d give a chilled sake a try. I ordered the Perfect Snow, Nigori and wow!

So I think I may have only drank chilled sake once or twice, but the presentation was perfect and made me immediately want to order another.

Pouring the bottle of perfect snow sake

We poured our first cup and tasted the sweetness of the drink. We then realized we were supposed to shake up the bottle, rookie mistake. This beautiful white snow mixed with the clear liquid and we were left with a concoction with a coconut milk tint. Shaking the sake brought out a creamy, full bodied, richness.

Perfect Snow Sake, sweet and rich

Now some places that present an all you can eat menu are not able to maintain the quality of the food. This was not the case with Sushi Rock. Everything I tried was delicious and made fresh. From the bulgogi sliders to the creative rolls and the smooth sake. Great service was the icing on the cake.

If you have the opportunity, take advantage of the all you can eat sushi. I hear there may be another AYCE celebration for the Independence Day Holiday, July 4th. Follow Sushi Rock on their social media to stay up to date on all of their events. I will for sure be keeping an eye out for their next AYCE celebration.

Sushi Rock is located at 1900 Clarendon Blvd Arlington, VA.

My Picks:

Bulgogi Sliders

Unagi

Stairway to Heaven

Perfect Snow Sake

    Howdy fantastic blog! Does running a blog such as this take a massive amount
    work? I have no knowledge of computer programming however I was hoping to start my own blog soon. Anyway,
    if you have any recommendations or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off subject but I just needed to ask.
    Thanks a lot!

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what
    all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like
    yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% sure.
    Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    An intriguing discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you ought to publish more on this issue, it might
    not be a taboo subject but usually people don’t talk about these topics.
    To the next! Cheers!!
