Our large group went here for dinner, not realizing how small it was. They said our party would have to be split up - fine, no problem. However, four of us were sat within a few minutes, and the other six were not sat UNTIL WE WERE FINISHED EATING. Meanwhile, we saw multiple tables come and go. The people at the hostess stand were incredibly poorly trained and inefficient; that should never have happened. However, if I were just judging this place on our server and food, my rating would be five stars. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, organized and efficient, and did a fantastic job keeping the food and beverages coming. And the sushi was surprisingly delicious - way better than I would have expected to get at a hotel and casino. Very fresh, with interesting roll combinations, and generous portions of fish in each roll. My friend got a soup bowl, and it too was a large portion, filled with noodles, veggies and wontons.So, I recommend coming here if your party is 2 people or less, otherwise try the Hard Rock Cafe instead.

I hate to give one star reviews but sometimes they are warranted. Wife and I had dinner at Rock and Raw for the first time last night in the Hard Rock Tampa. Kinda out of the way it's not a particularly pleasing to the eye place. Just 3-4 very small tables and a weird shaped counter. This was minor compared to the real problem. I ordered the Steak and Pepper Kew dinner. It came with white rice. The price, $23. I know food is pricey here but everywhere else we've eaten in here you got value for what you pay. Not here. I've seen child portions bigger than this, look at the picture. Not much and some of the steak pieces looked like processed beef pellets. Very disappointing. Wife was happy with her Crab Rangoons and Alaska Roll. Order a Diet Coke and you get a can and a glass of ice. I left hungry.Needless to say we won't be back here. Juboa Noodle Palace is better choice.

On a recent visit to Hard Rock casino, we decided to have dinner at Rock & Raw. located upstairs with the buffet used to be. It was quite a small place not much seating, little atmosphere.However, unlike my husband, who was totally disappointed with the place, I found the food quite good. I had crab rangoons which were yummy, and the Alaskan sushi roll. The roll had raw salmon and was topped with shrimp. I enjoyed it very much. Hubby wouldn't touch it so some was left on the plate because I couldn't eat it all after eating the Rangoons! it's a bit pricey, but not as bad as some places in Hard Rock. if you like this kind of food and don't mind a. cramped little eatery, then I recommend it. Hubby says he won't return, so I may just have to come back on my own!

Great place to grab a quick bite. My experience was definitely more than the three star average this place has. We were here for spa services and decided instead of making a reservation for lunch we didn't want to be beholden to a time. Therefore, we wanted to eat at a place that doesn't take reservations. We walked past the noodle place and there was a wait. I think because this place is farther removed from the casino floor that people don't come here as often. It was pretty empty so we were seated immediately.We got a green dragon roll, Mongolian Beef, Chinese Broccoli, and every bao (duck, short rib and fried chicken). There is a combo plate where you can get one of every bao, which I think is awesome. Since I was with two friends we got two of every. I also got the lychee drink. It came in a can, but was really good. My favorite bao was the duck one, followed by the fried chicken and finally the short rib. They were all pretty good. The Mongolian Beef came with little beef, but good flavor. The Chinese Broccoli was very good. I'm usually impartial to it, so the fact that I would recommend it every time is surprising. It's more flavorful than I'm used to. The dragon roll was good, nothing to write home about.Overall our experience here was good. I would definitely come back after a spa day.

Good food. Quick service. No need to wait in line at the noodle bar downstairs. Take the escalator upstairs to the quieter restaurant. Menu has more options including sushi and sushi rolls. Food was served quickly, service was excellent.

I visited Rock n' Raw, which is housed in the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, with some friends over the weekend. However, the food was bland and pricey. The Dumplings were chewy and filled with mushy meat; the side of soy dipping sauce was needed to give the appetizer some flavor. The Beautiful Girl Roll was actually decent with a nice crisp tempura crust, soft rice, cream cheese, eel sauce and spicy mayo. Unfortunately, all these toppings masked any sort of flavor from the fish which you could barely tell was even in the roll. The Fried Rice had absolutely no flavor, which was astonishing since it consisted of so many ingredients, and the Bao Buns with Roasted Duck were doughy and filled with a tiny piece of flavorless duck. Do yourself a favor and skip this restaurant.

Although this restaurant is a little hard to find, but isn't everything inside the hard rock. it's in a nice secluded area on the second floor of the hard rock. I sat at the sushi bar in front of Justin. I made sure to request that he made my Sushi. I ordered a chef specialty platter that came with an assortment of delicious fresh cuts of fish. I wasn't disappointed by a single thing on my plate, and I was left in aww of every bite of the fish that I had. When coming to the hard rock, you have many options of places to eat, but not all of them are quality. rock 'n raw is one of the few that you can sit down and enjoy an incredible meal.

So everywhere in the casino can get pretty busy around dinner time. We were quoted a 30 minute wait, but were seated in maybe 20. We had frequented the place Pre pandemic so it was nice to see it back open. Slightly different menu options now. (You can download the menu online.)Crab Rangoon. Pretty common ingredients to everywhere else. Sashimi Plate. Hamachi, tuna and salmon. Simple and fresh. Bao Combo. Fried chicken with country gravy. Braised Pork Belly. Korean Short Rib. Seafood Soup. Pretty good, decent portion. Snow Crab (not imitation) fish cake, bay scallops and shrimp. Ask for chili oil. Crab Lo Mein (added shrimp.) Not bad. Also Snow Crab (not imitation.)Bay Shore Kamakazi roll. Pretty good as well. Overall, we were happy. Pretty busy night so service was a little slow. Only open on weekends.

We visited this restaurant during Labor Day weekend and were pleasantly surprised. We were sat at the large table in the center of the restaurant in the shape of a triangle. Our party of four was able to sit at one of the corners and we were able to easily talk to each other during dinner. We ordered a round of drinks and I tried the Hana Lychee sake. It was cold, sweet, and delicious. My family shared a bunch appetizers like the Special Noodle soup, dumplings, crab rangoons, and combination bao buns. The bao buns were a first for everyone and I just thought they were alright. The special noodle soup reminded me of pho and had a lot of great flavors. Dinner was served and I was in love the Bay Shore Kamakazi roll. The little bit of jalapeño on each piece of sushi was the perfect amount of heat. My mother in law ordered the Beautiful Girl, but wanted it to not be fried. The waitress stated they could easily make that happen, so definitely don't be afraid to ask!Overall, it was a great dinner and I would happily visit again the next time I am in town!
