I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have been here with my fiance 3-4 times & every time has been amazing. This place is relatively new & is doing great so far imo. Sometimes it’s packed but usually there is a good amount of people so depending on where you are seated, you may get whatever is left when the conveyor belt gets to you but that the name of the game, the conveyor belt is NOT always empty you’re just sat at the end of the belt. Incredibly affordable fresh & delicious sushi. Atmosphere is amazing & service is 4/5 because when we were asked if we have been here before the first time we said no & she did not tell us how the containers on the conveyor belt worked, hover it is easy enough to figure out. Staff is very helpful & kind checking in. :) you can see the sushi chefs making the sushi and putting it out on the conveyor belt. They seem to no longer have ramen which is reasonable. Little train robots come out with your sushi orders & they are so cute. Genuinely no complaints except the bathroom is a little nasty. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECCOMEND TRYING AT LEAST ONCE! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I ate here two days ago and loved it. I came back today for what I thought would be a small lunch, and I am writing this instead. Start with what is good, because a lot of it is. The room looks great, the music is genuinely well chosen, and the whole place has a calm, easy atmosphere that makes you want to sit for a while. That is not a small thing and it does a lot of work. The servers are friendly. The sushi is solid. Standard, nothing special, but perfectly good and exactly what you want from a conveyor belt spot. The rough edges are all operational. The belt is mostly empty, and what is circling tends to be the stuff nobody is grabbing, so you wait. The train that brings your orders is slow. You also have to order wasabi, ginger and sauces through that same train, so you wait again for things that should already be sitting on the table. The staff are all very young and clearly new, one server told me he does not even like sushi, and the service level does not match how good the room looks. None of that would have stopped me coming back. On atmosphere alone this is a 3 to 4 star place with real upside. Here is what happened today. I sat down not particularly hungry, so I ch

I went on a Sunday for lunch as part of a group of 3. We were quickly seated and our waiter was polite and attentive. It was our first time going to a revolving sushi bar restaurant but the staff took their time to answer any questions and doubts we had about the process. Food was average and service was good, although at the end we ordered tempura shrimp but never received it. We did inquire with staff about our order but they didn't get back to us about it so, we decided to just pay and leave. Other than that, the revolving sushi bar experience was good.

This restaurant is truly impressive. The sashimi is extremely fresh and delicious, and you can really taste the quality of the fish. The tuna is especially high-quality, with a rich flavor and excellent texture. The salmon is also incredibly fresh and very tasty. The eel sushi is absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and very satisfying. I also really enjoyed the fried shrimp, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The presentation and decoration are beautiful, and the dining environment feels modern and welcoming. One fun highlight is that robots help with the service, which makes the experience unique and memorable. Overall, it’s a great place for sushi lovers.🍣

The sashimi was incredibly fresh! Freshly cooked that morning! The sashimi I tried this time was all excellent: 🐟 Bluefin Tuna (fatty tuna) Super rich in fat, melts in your mouth! 🐚 Hokkigai Surf Clam A noticeably crisp and sweet texture! 🦑 Ika Squid Sushi Very tender and sweet! There were also many sushi rolls: 🍣 Dragon Roll 🍣 Shrimp Tempura Roll 🍣 Tiger Roll 🍣 Caterpillar Roll 🍣 Crunchy Philly Roll 🍣 Las Vegas Roll And hand rolls: 🌯 Salmon Hand Roll 🌯 Snow Crab Hand Roll 🌯 Spicy Tuna Hand Roll Overall, the selection was huge + the prices were student-friendly + the food was fresh! As a UCR student, I'll definitely come here often after class! 😂
