| - Las Vegas' FIRST conveyor belt sushi restaurant!
Came here tonight with some friends and my husband. It was their soft pre-opening or something? Apparently they were opened the last two nights as well but it was invite only. I'm super jealous that some people got invited!
I saw on Facebook that they were opened for a limited time on Dec. 2nd for dinner 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm. When I saw that, I immediately showed it to my friends and husband, planned for an early dinner at 5:00 pm. The parking situation is a little weird because they had a lot of parking spots but a lot of them had names of other establishments or they had the word "reserved" on them. Except there's a sign in front of Sapporo saying that you can park anywhere. Sooooo not really sure how that really goes.
We got there a bit early and got seated right away. They told us already that the food won't come out until 5:00 pm and we were fine with that. They have an iPad system on all the tables where you can order things if you don't want to grab it from the conveyor belt. The iPad also keeps a tally of all the things you ordered, which is great.
As you can probably tell by now, they have a conveyor belt with different types of nigiri. They even have signs before them so you know what you're grabbing. What I did notice is that the sushi starts in the middle of the room before making it to the other side, which kind of sucks because if there was something we wanted ... but everyone else also wanted, we wouldn't be able to get it. We could order it .. but we also noticed that the fish isn't consistent. Some pieces would be fattier and other pieces would be more lean. There wasn't enough salmon on the conveyor belt for us so we had to order two more orders but they came out quite lean. We like our fatty salmon belly pieces! Booo!
Also, for the ordering system, they have a custom cart that stops right in front of your table with your order when it's ready. It also tells you, "Your order is here. Please take your order." Super cool. It reminds me of some of the sushi places in Japan that does that.
Onto the sushi! We focused mainly on the nigiris. They have rolls too. Each plate on the conveyor belt is $2.50. They have hand rolls too but you have to order them. They weren't on the belt. They are also $2.50. They have udon and ramen to order. The nigiri are mostly two pieces to a plate unless you get the premium items: toro, king crab, uni. Those are one piece per plate for $2.50. Honestly, toro for that price is a STEAL. Most establishments charge $8-10 for one piece of toro. The sushi is quite fresh. I think the only thing I didn't care for is the rice. It was good but it was missing something. They also packed it a lot where it doesn't feel as soft -- felt a bit more hard and squished.
Don't worry about the fish staying out too long. Their conveyor belt has senors whenever a plate gets put on there. They have a timer for it so if a plate has been on the belt for 30 minutes and hasn't been eaten, it will be trashed!
You keep the plates at your table so at the end of your meal, they can tally it up and give you your total. Service was great -- they were willing to split our check in anyway we want!
TIP: If you're a huge eater, this may not be the place for you. These things can add up fast. I would suggest you do AYCE if you eat a ton. Haha.
This place brings back memories of when I used to have the boat sushi back in San Francisco with my mom and grandma.
Overall, decent quality. Good service. I would come back :) And would suggest people give it a try.
