All the KEI Concepts restaurants are amazing and ROL isn’t an exception. I’ve eaten here a few times and every time I end up doing an uncontrollable food dance while eating my rolls.

This location is very small, with a U shaped counter top being the only available seating. You can see all the hand rolls made in front of you and the cooks place them on your plate as soon as they finish them. The pacing can feel kind of slow at times so make sure to savor each item.

Every time I go here I start with a Salmon Hand Roll and then a Shrimp Tempura Hand Roll. I also always get one of the A5 Wagyu Hand Rolls. Its pricey at $25, but the steak is so tender and delicious. Definitely worth it if you want to spoil yourself a little bit. The Crispy Rice Tartare is also a must order. The rice has just the right amount of crunch and the fish is packed with flavor.

On my most recent visit I also ordered Yellowtail Hand Rolls, an Unagi Hand Roll, Toro Inari, Salmon Inari, and Miso soup. All the fish tasted super fresh. Ill probably add the Unagi Hand Roll to my list of must order rolls.

The taste of fresh fish with warm rice and crispy nori is unbelievable! If you want to try something different from hand rolls, try cryspy rice tartar, it’s good. And my own lifehack for those taking care of calorie intake: I eat miso soup before my meal so I’m not that hungry anymore. Green tea is also a great drink because of its health benefits. Sometimes you have to wait for about a half of an hour to be seated, I believe you can check in on the website prior to arrival.

I LOVE the food here! They have nailed it on quality. The lunch special $15 for 4 rolls & edamame & miso soup is incredible!!!
My only kinda complaint is the Customer service is really good but the individual servers could have a lil more warmth imho, they seem very polite but stoic & I’ve always enjoyed that Japanese sushi chef warmth,
Would be cool if they encouraged this more with their servers

My partner and I have been to multiple locations and love all of them. We were so happy they opened one in Irvine. This is a smaller restaurant, but the service is wonderful and the food is even better. We really enjoy the quality of the sushi and believe the pricing is fair and not overpriced like a lot of places in Southern California. We love coming here and recommend to all our friends and family. Even strangers too! Thanks for all the hard work and quality service!

We had to wait a while before going in, but that was partially my fault because I hadn’t joined the waitlist beforehand. I highly recommend doing so on Google Maps or Yelp. The food was great. I got the hand roll lunch special, and it was delicious. The crispy outer layer of warm seaweed
went perfectly with the cool, soft fish and rice. If the owners of ROL are reading this, I advise them to expand the place because so many people want to eat there, but there is such a small seating area. I would definitely eat here again.

A Japanese restaurant. Initially, I didn’t have high expectations for this restaurant since hand rolls are quite a common item. However, their hand rolls exceeded my expectations. The ingredients were fresh, and the vinegar rice was perfectly seasoned. The service was excellent and they serve each hand roll one at a time, allowing you to savor each bite at your own pace. Despite the restaurant’s small size, the space feels cozy and not overcrowded, making the overall dining experience very comfortable.

Joined their waitlist through Google maps, and we didn’t have to wait at all. The restaurant only has bar counter seats for about 20-22 seats total. This place is good for small groups of 2-3. Got the 7 piece hand roll set and the food was really good. But the only problem was there was 2 hand roll makers responsible for 9-10 people each. There’s other workers who prepare other menu options. So it’s a good idea to order from the appetizer menu etc, or you will be waiting like 5-10 minutes between each hand roll. It was a very interesting situation!

The last day in LA :(. Saw great reviews and swung quickly over. The reason I put only a four stars not a five stars review was because it’s strange that all the male workers seems neutral like with no expressions when asking a question or two, it’s very odd and while the female workers were very friendly but with no doubt they have great food.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in Irvine.

We waited over an hour to get seated for weekend lunch. Once seated, things only got worse. After ordering, nothing came out for about 20 minutes—no hand rolls, no appetizers, no explanation. When the rolls finally started coming, there were 10-minute gaps between each roll, making the entire meal painfully slow and disjointed.

What made the experience unacceptable, however, was the behavior of the chef. There was only one chef making rolls and no visible server to ask questions or address delays, so we were left waiting without any communication. At one point, I let my fiancé try a roll I ordered because it was good. The chef yelled at us across the counter, saying we should not share rolls because he needs to count them and it confuses him. This happened in front of other guests, and his tone was rude, aggressive, and completely unprofessional.

A manager happened to be nearby and immediately stepped in to apologize multiple times, which we appreciated. The manager handled the situation well and offered a 20% discount, which was the only reason we completed the meal. However, the chef never apologized and instead walked away into the back, which says a lot.

I live in Irvine and have always enjoyed KEI Concepts restaurants, but this experience completely changed my perception. Despite the manager’s effort, I will never return to ROL, and I would strongly caution others—especially at the Irvine location. If you encounter the short, heavyset chef with glasses who is visibly irritable, be prepared for poor attitude and lack of professionalism.

Good food does not excuse bad service, long waits, and disrespectful behavior. This restaurant was a huge disappointment.

Tried ROL Hand Roll Bar takeout last week. Wasn’t sure what to expect but their packaging was perfect! Everything stayed in place and looked nice when I opened it.

The toro don was a amazing! Super fresh toro and honestly, the rice beneath was cooked just right. Could’ve eaten just the rice, it was that good. Inari had this nice sweetness to it that worked great with the spicy tuna and salmon.

Had it during wine night with friends. Everyone enjoyed it and asked where it was from. Food stayed good throughout the evening!!

Highly recommend!
