Went to sushi on the rock for dinner on a Saturday nite. It was busy and we waited less than 15 min for a table. Not bad. We got a table on the outside front deck with some views of the water and big gas heaters kept us nice and warm. Service was very good and friendly. Tried edamame hummus... More

So good we went both nights. Friendly, prompt service. Excellent Sushi - especially the seared tuna with a delightful sauce! Potstickers were also fab.

If you want Sushi, you can certainly find it here at Sushi on the Rock. With authentic sushi restaurants like Sushi Ota just a few miles away however this place would never be my first choice. I have been a few times and it's always just ok, never great just ok.

Sushi on the rock was suggested to us by a local, so we decided to try it. If you're looking for sushi, this place is pretty good. Restaurant is small and cozy, and the waitress was very pleasant. They had some good specials the night we were in, oyster shooters and red snapper were very good. Their specialty roll selection... More

We searched for Sushi on the Rock to compare it to Sugar Fish in Santa Monica where we had a spectacular lunch a few days prior. I told the kids that they had very fancy rolls, the polar opposite of Sugar Fish. The waitress was quite lovely and came over quickly and brought drinks. She also suggested a sashimi option... More

A very nice experience for sushi in downtown La Jolla. The decor is a nice modern atmosphere. The help staff was very polite and very personable. The outside dining was very nice with a great view of the ocean. The patio is a little shaded so you might want to bring a sweatshirt it you get a shaded table. The... More

Good sushi, not great, but nicely portioned and rolled. Fish was good, but had fresher. The Barrio Roll was very good- very different, kind of sushi with SoCal flare. Love the heated balcony and HH specials. $2 bottles and 1/2 apps??!?!? sweet. Service was among the best in any restaurant regardless of cost. Friendly staff - great downtown location, 1... More

We enjoyed some great take-out from Sushi on the Rock. There are lots of options to choose from, standard rolls and some more unusual options. All very fresh and tasty.

I've been traveling in the San Diego area for the past week and came for dinner at Sushi OTR based on a recommendation from a coworker! It did not disappoint! No frills just great fish at a reasonable price! I was in a party of 4 and we sat outside which in March with the sun setting could have been... More

Sushi on the Rocks has great sushi - try El Jefe "The Chief". Great selection, great view & conveniently located right in the mix of town. Balcony seating is great - top it off with Frozen Yogurt just down the block.
