Things to do in Auburn
1. Sushiya Japanese Restaurant
Reviewed By TravelingGypsy901
This is the best sushi restaurant Iâve tried in this town (Auburn and Opelika). All you have to do is walk through the doors and look at the sushi chefs. I have nothing but mad love for Latinos, I mean Iâm MARRIED to one. But I donât want my sushi made by a Venezuelan, and it seems like almost all of our local sushi places have Spanish sushi âchefsâ....Sushiya has skilled Japanese artisans. The quality of the tuna is pristine, my favorite roll is the sun moon and stars (it has no rice, wrapped in cucumber). The Poke bowls are very good. However, Iâm taking away a star for the salad dressing and tempura. I hate the salad dressing here. Itâs a sweet, creamy dressing. Itâs flavorless, which is compounded by the fact that the lettuce is always sopping wet (very typical of Asian restaurants for some reason). Surely they make some type of industrial âsalad spinnerâ. But in regards to the dressing, it should be either a high quality peanut, or ginger dressing, Sushiyaâs is neither. Itâs bland and too mayonnaisey. Also, the tempura is only mediocre. I wasnât impressed with vegetables used or the tempura batter. Both of these issues can easily be remedied. I love the atmosphere. The music they play is AWESOME, Stones, Zeppelin, Bowie. Please never change that! Itâs extremely clean and the servers are wonderful.

The sushi here is great and they have an excellent sushi chef that will accommodate special requests. There is a sit down sections and a section for the hibachi. Great place to eat!

Four of us who enjoy sushi were looking for dinner on Saturday night and decided to try Rock N Roll Sushi in downtown Auburn (north corner of campus). So glad we did! Very relaxed, come as you are environment, and excellent sushi! We each had something different and it was all really good. We included Headbanger Shrimp as a great starter and finished the experience with sampling a few desserts. Even if you aren't a sushi person, they have other options, such as the rice bowl with your choice of meat - very tasty. Looking for a place to chat with someone over dessert? They only have a couple dessert options, but they were sooooo good.

Went here on a recommendation of a coworker. Sadly I have to admit that it was my first visit, despite living here for years. I have definitely been missing out. I had teriyaki chicken, tempura fried shrimp, and sushi. Every singly thing was fantastic. I will be visiting Fuji much more often in the future.
5. East Sea

Went there for lunch and my first impression was the music. Sounded almost like roller coaster tycoon music at times and at other times elevator music. The atmosphere was almost bar like with many sports things and tvs in there. Not what I expected from a korean/japanese place. The food was delightful at bare minimal. Ordered steamed dumplings for an appetizer that were definitely fresh and absolutely delicious. Not too salty in the least (which is always a worry I have with dumplings). Ordered 2 rolls of sushi for myself and 1 for my lovely date (which happened to be half off on sushi rolls that day). My rolls were absolutely wonderful. Had a spicy tuna sandwich roll with crunchys (not sure what they are exactly called, tempura?) on top that was delightful. The second roll was a salmon roll that was, easily, the best sushi roll I've ever had. The sushi chef blow torched the salmon on top for crying out loud! My date's sushi was the most artistic and pretty sushi roll I've seen. The spider roll she had looked like it had plants growing out of it (in a good way!). You can tell the sushi chef took real pride in his art. Overall, this is one of if not the best sushi experiences I've had. 10/10 would nom nom again.
