Delicious fresh sushi that's a bang for your buck. I always get Combo B from their Daily Special list. I choose the salad. Love the tangy dressing. There are two crunch rolls with freshly fried tempura shrimpwith crispy tempura batter bits sprinkled on top. Then there's a spicy tuna roll and California roll. All for $10.50. Staff are always gracious and efficient. Lots of ppl get to-go but there's enough space for a few small parties to dine-in.

I like starting with the miso soup and that was really good. Loved the thick salmon cuts and all the sushi was real fresh. The star of the show for me was the Fresh water baked Eel . $3.50 for 2 pieces, it’s totally worth trying it if you haven’t. Wow! It’s a good little spot, I’ll be back and I highly recommend this place for the freshness and the price. Total bill was $25 and I walked out stuffed and 100% satisfied. 2/16/24 Went back again and got pretty much the same order but instead of the tuna, I doubled up on the eel. They killed it again it was so damn good . What more can I say but that I’ll be back. This time I’m trying the Tonkotsu ramen before I leave in a few days. I’m gonna miss this spot.

Place is pretty bomb and super good prices. Glad I found this spot. Sometimes cheaper chicken dishes can be chewy but it’s super fresh here. Definitely a good mom and pop shop

Roll & Teriyaki is a good local spot for delicious, fast-casual Japanese food at affordable prices. The quiet and clean dining area will accommodate small groups or solo diners. The menu boasts Japanese favorites that most people will be familiar with. The value-packed combos are a real treat. I've also enjoyed the chicken and beef teriyaki bowls, as well as the sushi and roll offerings. While they may not offer as many fish varieties as other places, the ones they do have are all fresh and satisfying. For a small, mom-and-pop restaurant, I'm glad there's a place like this close to home and affordable. The service is good. I've visited many times and the owner is a man of few words. The other staff have been nice as well. If you're on a budget and craving Japanese food, R&T is worth checking out. There is plenty of parking in the public lot.

I was excited to try this place and was keeping an eye out for its grand opening. And boy, am I glad because it's cheap and surprisingly delicious! The prices of the sushi rolls range from about 3 to 10 dollars, but you can also choose from daily specials too for some great deals. The interior is nice and simple, making it a good restaurant to dine in, should you choose to do so. However, there are also takeout options as well if you're on the run. I definitely recommend this place if you want good, quick sushi but don't want to break the bank for it.

*We are hear again! Love this place and the owner is so nice!! We have been to this place several times now (dine in and take out). I am impressed with the consistent quality of the food and the reasonable prices that will allow us to visit often! The owner is extremely friendly and really enjoys to serve his food he is very proud of it, as he should be, as every time the food has been Super Fresh and extremely delicious. The restaurant is always very clean and the kitchen is open. Combo B and Spanish Roll have become our staple choices.

Great food for very reasonable prices. The chicken bowl comes with some steamed veggies $6. The beef plate with salad. Generous servings of rice and beef for only $8.50. Cant beat these prices. I think the only thing I'll consider next time is to ask for the Teriyaki sauce on the side. Don't get me wrong, it was good sauce but just a tad too sweet for me so I rather control how much sauce I put on my rice. Also got combo B, total of 16 pieces of crunchy, spicy tuna, and california rolls with soup or salad. Will definitely order again, i want to try the salmon plate and chicken katsu next.
