If candy on your sushi isn't your thing, the Scorpions roll ($12.95) is ready to rock you with avocado, white tuna, salmon and yellowtail tuna, all wrapped in a cucumber peel. This roll offers a fresh twist on a classic roll with the light crispy cucumber peel.
My dinner guest and I ordered the Elvis roll ($12.95) and the Sam I Am roll ($10.95) respectively. The Elvis roll comes with tempura shrimp and cream cheese, which is then deep fried and topped with seasoned crawfish and crunchy tempura flakes.
The flavors hit just the right spot for fried food lovers, and none of the ingredients overpowers the others. The portions are sizable without being too much of a mouthful, which can sometimes be the case with bigger and bolder sushi rolls.
The Sam I Am roll came with tempura shrimp and crab meat, mixed with spicy mayonnaise and topped with avocado and citrus sauce. The crunch from the fried shrimp with the freshness of the avocado makes a fresh satisfying roll with a lightly hot finish.
More traditional rolls, called "classic rock" on the menu, also are available, offering classics such as the California roll ($4.95), the spider roll ($7.95) and the Boston roll ($4.95). Traditional nigiri and sashimi are also available.
Last but not least are the opening acts, the appetizers. Traditional egg rolls ($ 5.95) and crispy crab wontons ($6.95 for five large wontons) are offered, and both were freshly fried and filling.
All and all, if you're in the mood for some sushi with a twist, served in a laid-back environment, Rock-N-Roll Sushi will have you coming back for more.
