This is one of my all time favorite places to network with people in the music and film industry. Setting business meetings at this restaurant is pretty easy and I always rub shoulders with producers, writer, models, agents, celebrities, and etc. This is one of the best spots in Hollywood to solicit your business without being a pest. Rock'N Sushi is located in West Hollywood at the corner of Santa Monica and La Brea, next to the Hollywood Gateway Plaza. They're always busy, which shows that I am not the only one that thinks this place is cool. I like that the waiters and hostess are all Japanese. As soon as you walk in, they greet you by shouting "irashaimase", which means welcome in Japanese. It gives off a great vibe and the waiters are constantly picking up you dirty plates and asking if everything is okay. A great deal of teamwork is showcased here. I love going into a restaurant where the waiter, that's not assigned to your table, comes by to pick up your dirty dishes. I wouldn't call this place huge. It's pretty small but the layout makes it feel comfortable. With my quick measurements, this place can't be bigger than 800 square feet. However, most places in Hollywood are about this big or even smaller. The ambiance is medium high, presuming that it's this way, because of the square footage. The lighting fixtures are Asian inspired with red and black Japanese writing. The ceiling is covered with Japanese blossoms in red and black. The sushi is fresh, well prepared, and is cut with precision. The lighting sets a romantic feeling but also a great place to have dinner with the girls. Over by the sushi bar, there is a huge flat screen TV for the sports fans. The entire restaurant is covered in dark cherry wood furniture. The menu is spectacular. They have over 20 different kinds of Sashimi and Sushi Roll dishes. They also have a great selection of dinner plates like noodles, salads, and exotic appetizers. I recommend trying the Baked Spicy Salmon Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Spicy Tuna, and the Dragon Roll.
My last visit was exuberant. As I walked in, the couple next to me, were chucking down Oyster Shots and Sake bombing. The oyster shots looked enticing, but I declined the friendly guys offer to try it, simply because I'm not keened to swallowing mouthfuls of raw oyster in two milliseconds. But I did take a quick picture of the oyster shot. Furthermore, this place caters to all levels of sushi lovers. I consider myself a sushi roll type. On occasion, I' ll order a few pieces of Sashimi. The wine and beer selection is extensive. They offer all types of Sake drinks and different flavors. They tender a few mid-grade types of wine such as; Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinto Grigio, and Plum Wine. The Asian beers are great. I have tried the Chamisui and the Yebitsu in the past, very light, and tasty. My meal started with a glass of Chardonnay, a bottle of Pellegrino, Miso Soup, Edamame, Seaweed Salad and Fried Oysters. The food came pretty fast I only had a few minutes and the food was ready. While eating my second order of Spicy Tuna and Baked Spicy Salmon, I met a woman that works for Paramount, and she invited me to tour the studio with her on my days off. This place is not as elegant as my favorite sushi spots Katsuya, Nabu, or Kabuki. However, because of the great customer service, this place is on the top of my list and customer service so important to me. You can find the regular studio employees grabbing a few drinks and taking advantage of the "All Day" happy hour prices. Within the last week I've visited this place three times. Definitely a good place for a quick fix of Sushi and Sake.
