Reviews
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
