Customer Reviews
I’ve been to this place countless times, it’s my go-to spot for a quick lunch or a casual hangout with friends. The whole experience can take as little as 10 minutes from start to finish: you get seated, grab your dishes straight from the revolving belt, return your plates through the slot, and check out, all fully automated! They also have a great rewards program. My favorites are the conch and the bluefin tuna toro, but they’re not always available.
Decent food for the price. Nothing like their global head store in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. But for Philadelphia, kaiten sushi, it’s passable. Lots of University students as customers.
My so and I tried the revolving sushi spot on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, and it was definitely a fun experience. The concept is simple but entertaining—sushi plates come around on a conveyor belt, and you just grab what you like. Drinks are served by a robot, which adds a cool, futuristic touch. Each plate is $3.75, and there’s a reward system where you get a prize at 15 plates and another at 25. It makes dining feel playful, though it also makes you more aware of how much you’ve eaten. We ended up with 28 plates plus a chicken ramen, which was surprisingly good, and the total came to around $125 for two people. The sushi itself was fine—not the best in the city, but good enough for the experience. Overall, it’s more about the novelty and fun atmosphere than gourmet quality. For me
It had been a while since we visited a revolving sushi restaurant, and the concept here is quite interesting. You can either order from a tablet or scan a QR code at your table, or you can grab items directly from the conveyor belt as they pass by. While we didn't take anything from the revolving belt, it was great to see what the different dishes looked like. Our orders were delivered directly to our table via an upper conveyer system, and drinks were brought out by a robot! If we needed anything else, we could request a human staff member through the app. The food was good, and they have some unique preparations and specials. We went for lunch, so the fact that they don't serve alcohol was fine, but we probably wouldn't go for dinner for that reason. The restaurant is definitely family-
Used to love coming here for sushi, but with every visit, it just seems like the quality of the sushi and the cleanliness of the place gets worse. The past 2 visits, I was seated on dirty seats and sticky tables. Flies swarming around the belt and floating in the soy sauce bottle makes your appetite wane. The cooked and raw sushi would be covered in hard sushi rice from the belt but specially ordering them to have it delivered to your table would have better quality however it defeats the purpose of conveyor belt sushi. I’ve found plastic pieces and a sharp metal piece in my sushi which was my last straw. I asked for a manager and they said they would retrain their staff to do better quality control and gave me a keychain + 20% off my meal for compensation. I hope they manage this chain be
