| - My husband I love sushi (I am originally from Japan) and we love revolving sushi restaurants. We've been to Teharu and Sushi Station before and really enjoyed them. So when we saw the deal on Livingsocial, we bought it ($15 for $30) right away.
Before going there, I checked out the reviews on Yelp and found many people said sushi there is expensive. So we are sort of prepared. And yes, it was expensive. We went there for Sat lunch. There were few more groups at the conveyor counter. There were differently priced plates from $2.75 to $4.50 like Teharu and Sushi Station. But most of the dishes on the conveyor are on $4.50 plates and only California roll is $2.75. And edamame and gyoza are $3.50. At Teharu, a plate starts at $1 and there are many types of sushi on the $1 plates.
The variety was very low too. There were only 5 types of rolls (which are all very similar), tuna, salmon and 4 other types of dishes on the conveyor. Nothing like philly rolls, spider rolls, eel, etc we are familiar to. Way less than other revolving sushi restaurants. The conveyor area was very small and there were more seating at tables. So I think they expect us to order mainly than eating from the conveyor.
The quality of fish is better than other revolving sushi restaurants but it's still average.
We stuck to the conveyor as that's the whole reason we drove all the way to Chandler from central Phoenix and we know much better normal (not revolving) sushi restaurants in and near Phoenix.
So we do not think we will ever go back to Sushi Eye in Motion. If we want to go to a revolving sushi restaurant, we will definitely go to Sushi Station and for good sushi and Japanese deserts, we will go to Shimogamo. I like the sushi counter at AJ's on Camelback better as they have a real Japanese sushi chef who chooses fresh fish.
