Michael Jackson, Van Halen and KISS all have something in common besides music. They are all types of sushi rolls served by Rock ’N’ Roll Sushi.
Rock ’N’ Roll Sushi has started building its new location, and the restaurant will be taking over the old location of Stir on Glenn Avenue.
Despite the opening of Rock ’N’ Roll sushi, people working at other sushi places in Auburn said they feel confident it will not affect their businesses.
“We have been here for eight years, and we have never done any advertisement," Richard Du, kitchen manager at Fuji Sushi Bar said. "We never mark down our food. Our food is always fresh. If it is no good, we do not mark it down or do a buy one get one free; we are just here to serve good, fresh food, and our customers know that.”
Mijung Shin, owner of Arigato Sushi Boutique, also said he is not worried about competition coming to town.
“Our concept is very different; we have a lot of variation in our rolls,” Shin said. “We are not worried about having competition, because we have a great price, great parking and fresh food available to our customers.”
The sushi restaurants in Auburn have always been known to be hot spots for students.
“I am very excited to see a new sushi place in Auburn,” said Joanna Hudgins, hotel and restaurant management student. “I do not think it will really affect the business coming into other sushi places, because I feel like everyone already has their favorite picked out. I look forward to trying Rock ’N’ Roll Sushi, but I probably won’t change my usual sushi spot.”
