| - The wife and I are big fans of "track sushi" in general and used to go out for it frequently when we were living in the NW; apparently, this style of sushi restaurant is relatively new to the area, as Sapporo Revolving Sushi was one of only two or three listings in the entire city. We decided on SRS because it was close to our home and also because it was newly opened and we like to support local businesses, being local business owners ourselves :)
We arrived about 10 minutes before their 5pm opening and were able to find parking right away, even though the lot is one of several on Spring Mt. that are quite small and obviously not intended for its current use/tenants.
Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by warm and friendly staff who, after a brief exchange between the two servers about who was assigned where this evening that actually served to make us feel more comfortable (laugh), seated us in a small booth, left of the right-most aisle.
Our server took our drink orders, after informing us that the night's special included all 3 imported beers on their beverage menu for a reduced price of $1.95 per draft ( a deal that both the wife and I took advantage of!), left, and shortly returned with our beers, leaving us to peruse the menu and eyeball the delicious items passing us on the conveyor belt next to our table.
The menu itself is an "Ipad-style" touchscreen which features all of the selections at SRS and even allows diners to review the individual ingredients before ordering, to ensure that they know and like what they will get.
While I played with the shiny gadget, my wife pulled a few items from the sushi track. (We had been informed, while chatting w/ our server, that all the track dishes were priced at $2.50 per plate and had sensors timing them to a freshness of 30 min. or less).
We finally found a few items we would like to try on the touchscreen menu and placed our order for a few half-rolls ($3.50 ea.). We were surprised to find out that orders placed on the pad arrive via a motorized cart (that we had not even noticed up until it arrived, flashing and beeping at our shoulders, lol), which rides along a dedicated rail that is installed at eye-level on top of the sushi track.
Grab your order, press a button to send the little robot back down the track to its next order, and enjoy!
The food itself was wonderful and all of the items I sampled were delightfully fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and helpful, gladly explaining how to order when asked, and the owners themselves were even in attendance, going table to table greeting guests and showing off neat menu features and items (try the "mexican roll" if you're a fan of spicy crab!)
We will be making SRS a weekly night out from this point on and highly suggest you do the same ;)
Five stars.
