| - I saw this restaurant shortly before they opened and made a mental note to drop by since I've had conveyor belt sushi in the past and it's kinda fun. This morning I decided that today was the day so I fired up Yelp to check the current reviews on the place (just to make sure it wasn't a must-avoid kind of place) and then headed on over. Their parking lot (shared with restaurants to either side) was pretty empty, but once I got inside there were around 20 people eating there - this was at noon on Memorial Day, so I don't know if that's a typical crowd. There was plenty of room for more people. I told the hostess it was my first time there so she explained how things worked there - pick what you want as it passes by, the plates are color coded by price and there is a price list at every seat. There was also a menu for ordering specific items (like regular sushi places.)
My Thoughts:
The place is clean
The staff is friendly and reasonably fast
The portions are a little on the small side, but considering the price per plate ranged from $1 to $3 (with most items falling in the $2 range) it worked out to be pretty reasonable as sushi goes. I left comfortably full and only spent 2/3 of what I would have at most other sushi places.
The Salmon Nigiri was good.
The cooks were busy the entire time and there was a steady supply of fresh sushi when I was there.
Since one of the other reviewers had mentioned the lighting was excessive, I looked while I was there. Maybe they read their yelp reviews, because although there were a lot of light fixtures, most of them were off and the lighting was fine - not too dark, not too bright.
The Final Word:
I wouldn't say it was the most amazing sushi I've ever had, but it was perfectly decent and about 2/3 the cost of other sushi places. They had a wide range of sushi available, friendly, efficient staff and a clean, welcoming restaurant. I'll be back.
