Shhh.. Be quiet.
Yes. That would be the sound of the trolleys ringing their bells in San Francisco, the paparazzi cameras flashing in LA, the waves crashing against the ocean in San Diego.

Shoot for the moon; even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.
We’ve all heard that before, whether it was our parents, teachers or friends encouraging us to be the best we can be. But what happens when you reach the top? At HDYR?, the answer to that is simple. We reward you!
Many have shown that they are dedicated sushi eaters, but one has out-shined the rest. He’s eaten more HDYR? than anyone and he’s not stopping anytime soon. He’s the rock star of sushi.
We’re talking about Scott Reep, of San Antonio. Scott is the first HDYR? fan to reach the coveted status of Rockin’ Roller in our loyalty program. Being the first to the top is no simple feat. It takes a lot of dedication, and a lot of sushi.
Scott’s wife first introduced him to the Stone Oak HDYR?, and it’s the service that keeps him coming back. Of course, the food, relaxed atmosphere and price point are enticing, but the superstar staff and leadership truly have an impact on his experience at HDYR?
So, what does the rock star eat?
“Personally, I like a spicy tuna roll on traditional paper with white rice, adding avocado, asparagus and green onion. Also added to the roll are generous amounts of chili powder, a decent amount of chili oil, and then topped with the spicy orange mayonnaise,” Scott told to us.
Although Scott has his favorite roll, he’ll often order two and switch up the ingredients on the second roll. As for sides, he says he usually orders calamari salad and puts ponzu sauce on top.
As the owner of a small business, Scott sincerely enjoys being able to support his local HDYR? and is excited to be the first Rockin’ Roller. We’re pretty stoked too!
At the Rockin’ Roller level of our Frequent Roller Program, we up the rewards- big time. For registering, you receive a free roll. For your birthday, you receive a free roll. And as usual, for every 10 rolls you buy, you earn a free roll. All free rolls as a Rockin’ Roller can be redeemed for up to $9.50. That’s a pretty sweet deal if you ask us. Rockin’ Rollers can also interact with us on social media to win more free rolls.
If you’re a dedicated roller, you too can earn your way to Rockin’ Roller. For more information on how to become a Rockin’ Roller, check out our loyalty page on our website.
Keep on rollin’!
Last month, HDYR? Stone Oak in San Antonio helped several of its customers get their “big break.”
In coordination with the PM Group, HDYR? set out to shoot its first commercial and wanted real customers to star in the spot. The Stone Oak restaurant was completely transformed as the camera crew took over the location.
Rollers of all ages came to the shoot, ready for their close up.
The spot is currently airing in San Antonio, but you can also check it out on Facebook.
Thanks to all of our talented customers who participated- the experience would not have been the same without you!
Happy New Year!
With the beginning of 2012, all of us at HDYR? are eager to get down to business and continue to build on the momentum of 2011. It seems like ages ago that many of our locations opened, but last year we in fact (more than) doubled when we opened our fourth Austin HDYR? and expanded to San Antonio, Houston, and College Station.
We’re thrilled to continue our sushi revolution by opening franchises nation-wide during 2012. I’m sure by now you’ve heard all the buzz on our newest locations, but I’d love to share with you the most recent updates.
