| - I came here on a Friday night with a group of friends. We saw that it was a hot & new spot on Yelp so we wanted to go and experience this whole sushi on the conveyor belt thing. Our waitress was pretty friendly & provided good service. When we went it had only been open for about 1.5 weeks so she was fairly new to the whole experience also.
Basically any plate on the conveyor belt is $2.50 & you hang on to the plates towards the end so the waitress can keep track & count how many items you grabbed. There is an iPad on the table that's screwed on only at one end of the table. That was a major mistake because it was a total inconvenience for the ppl sitting at the opposite end. They couldn't see the menu on the screen & we would have to read out loud what was on the menu or they would have to stand up & lean over to look at the menu. We actually even ended up switching seats with each other so a couple of my friends could see the menu. Hopefully they figure out a new idea how to implement the iPad on the table without the inconvenience.
Anyway, whatever you ordered off the iPad came out on a robot type machine & it lights up on your side if it is your order, pretty cool. The menu has different foods & prices including udon noodles, sashimi, sushi rolls, etc. The appetizers were disappointing, I really wanted to love everything but unfortunately that wasn't the case. The branzino, shishito peppers, and pork belly was good. The clams (3 tiny, tiny pieces) tasted like it was just cooked in water, very disappointing because it cost $5 so definitely not worth it. The scallops were cold & I thought it would be thoroughly cooked, warm, & delicious but it was not. The soft shelled crabs are also very small & I wasn't feeling the flavor at all. My friend tried the oyster & she said it tasted like it came straight from the ocean and didn't know how she managed to swallow it. I felt like the appetizers were priced too high especially because they weren't that great. But the cooked sushi was good & I couldn't eat any raw sashimi or nigiri because I'm pregnant so I can't review those items. My friends did say they were delicious especially the blue fin tuna & toro, so I'll be back to try out the stuff I couldn't eat. I think at the end of the night we ended up with 28 plates, so average about $35-40 (6 of us) a person including tip, not too bad.
