Have you ever been to Kura Sushi? I visited after a conversation about it. They only accept reservations through the app, not over the phone. I arrived around 8 pm on a Saturday without a reservation and had to wait for 102 minutes! It felt like waiting for an attraction, but I registered and they called me through email, so I waited in the car. The parking lot lights were really bright depending on how you parked. They had a display board like a hospital waiting room where they called out numbers. I selected a sushi character when I made the reservation, and when I confirmed it on the tablet, they showed me to my seat. I went with a friend, so we got counter seats. Each person had a tablet in front of them, which was convenient because you could take it off and not strain your arm. We ordered one dish after another, mostly creative dishes, and they were all delicious. The tempura dishes were served hot and crispy, taking a bit longer, but worth it. They had salad on the side menu, low-sodium soy sauce, and other female-friendly options. The place was relatively clean, and I would like to go back. We ordered 7 plates and a cheesecake for dessert, and the bill came to exactly 1000 yen! It felt like we could have eaten a bit more, so it was a good deal.

While it may not be my top choice, I would still like to visit occasionally.

Visit date and time: 2023/02/14 13:45 While in Higashi Osaka for regular business, I stopped by "Kura Sushi" at the Higashi Osaka branch. It is located a 15-minute walk from both Kintetsu Hattori-Nosato Station and Wakae-Iwata Station. If you walk north from the main road (Tenri Suita Line) that is located between the two stations, you will see the restaurant. I ordered 7 plates of salmon dishes and 1 plate of "Shiitake Mushroom Tempura". This seems to be a major conveyor belt sushi chain, but it was my first time seeing it. It is apparently the number one store in Osaka. Food & Taste: 3.3 The "Salmon" and "Grilled Salmon" are each served with 1 piece of each on a plate. The salmon is soft and has a consistent taste. The grilled salmon is seared. I might prefer this one. The "Salmon Pepper Seared" has a strong aroma. I usually like a strong flavor when it comes to salmon, and this one was delicious. The "Salmon with Green Onion and Chili Oil" doesn't have much spiciness, it's more about the flavor. It was the only one that was a bit subtle among the ones I tried this time. Overall, the sushi seems to have fresh ingredients for a conveyor belt sushi place. Out of the 14 pieces of salmon I had, only 3 pieces had a dull color. Wasabi is served separately (in a small packet), which was disappointing. The "Shiitake Mushroom Tempura" was served as sushi rather than a single item. It comes with a bite-sized portion of rice, which was actually nice. It was crispy and contained the umami essence of shiitake mushrooms, and it was delicious. Out of the 5 types I tried this time, I liked the grilled, raw, peppered, shiitake, and chili oil salmon in that order. Service: 3.3 You operate the machine at the storefront to assign seats. You order via a touch screen, and the food is delivered on a lane. Due to the current situation, the sushi is not rotating. Self-checkout is done by scanning the receipt. Basically, there is no need for human interaction. However, there were cases where the staff assisted customers. Polite service. (It seemed that they were asking some customers to change seats to accommodate others) There are several menus that serve two types on one plate, which I found to be fair. They also offer a variety of side menus, which caught my eye. Atmosphere: 3.0 As mentioned earlier, it is located quite far, a distance that you would not normally travel without a car. The exterior is mainly white with accents of red. It has a large parking lot. The interior has spacious aisles, but the space at the tables is too cluttered and narrow. The counter in front of the store has two conveyor belts running on the upper and middle levels. It was unclear who came first and who came after. Despite the number of seats being relatively small, it was not very crowded, probably because it was a weekday. The table area seemed to be moderately lively with young people. Cost Performance: 3.5 Sushi plates are generally around 110 yen for 2 pieces. The "Shiitake Mushroom Tempura" is 110 yen. With a total of 8 plates, the bill came to 880 yen. Among many conveyor belt sushi chain stores, this one seems to be particularly affordable. The thickness of the ingredients is average for a conveyor belt sushi place, making it easy to use. Drink: - Data unknown.

2023: Second visit♪ On Sunday afternoon, when I want to eat something light, I always go to "Kaiten Sushi"! The menu is so extensive and cheap~ Sundays are quite crowded, so it's recommended to go around 11:30 (*^-^*) In addition to my usual order, this time I tried... ◎ Pork cutlet roll - It's interesting and delicious!(^^)! ◎ Oyster fry ◎ Daikon and tuna salad - Refreshing and nice! ◎ Daikon with mentaiko dressing - A bit lacking (lol) Of course, to finish off, ◎ Chocolate cake. I'll definitely keep coming back for more~ (^^♪

2023: Another visit♪ Lately, my husband and I have been loving Kaitenzushi! It's efficient, with a wide variety of side dishes and reasonably priced. (*^-^*)◎ We had Chawanmushi, gratin, and salad♪ It's like a sushi restaurant here (laughs), but the Chawanmushi is so delicious with plenty of ingredients!(^^)!◎ Red clam, squid, shrimp tempura roll, engawa♪◎ Red miso soup, chicken karaage♪ And for dessert...◎ Pudding a la mode♪ It's a shame they don't have bottled beer and the alcohol options are a bit pricey～ (^^♪

One of the features of the revolving sushi chain, Uobei, is that even though it is a revolving sushi restaurant, the sushi does not rotate. You order everything and then the sushi is delivered to your lane. This is good for hygiene. The sushi itself is delicious enough for a revolving sushi restaurant. It's nice that they have unique items like Kohada and kanpyo maki. It can get quite busy during peak times, so it's a good idea to go at a less crowded time.

Recently, there is a lot of talk about the sushi restaurant called "Ganso Zushi". Some people say it's better than Kura Sushi or Sushiro. One of its features is that it doesn't have a rotating conveyor belt. The rice is slightly warm, and the soy sauce they provide is delicious. They have a variety of regional and seasonal limited-time items. The restaurant is clean and has a bright atmosphere. Personally, I think all conveyor belt sushi places are the same in terms of taste. The side dishes are cheap and tasty. It's amusing how the amount of ingredients can vary depending on who's doing the plating. I was really surprised by how big the toppings were on the fried items placed on the rice! When I come to Ganso Zushi, I plan to order things like squid tempura and shrimp tempura sushi.

Located south of Higashi-Osaka City Hall, this area seems to be popular among families. While groups of 4, 5, or 6 people had to wait in line at the entrance, I was seated right away as a solo diner. The taste was similar to Kappa Sushi, but the prices were like how Kappa Sushi used to be when it was cheaper. The pickled ginger was not good, but that's just a minor detail. The ramen had overly strong broth, but that seems to be the norm here.

To revolving sushi restaurant Uobei! This was my first time in Osaka, and I had been wanting to visit since I had a good experience at the one in Niigata before. I tried various dishes, but I forgot to take photos of many of them. The limited edition "maguro" was quite delicious. I was looking forward to the "kanpyo maki," which is not common in Kansai, but it was too sweet for my liking. It was clear that the restaurant is popular as customers kept coming in one after another. Thank you for the meal! ☺︎

Non-rotating sushi = It has a high-class and expensive image, but this restaurant is affordable and family-friendly! With almost all plates priced at 100 yen, you can easily enjoy a meal here! The taste is also excellent, comparable to sushi bars, and the variety is wide with plenty of desserts and side dishes! Orders are placed through a touch panel and delivered on a rail. Desserts took a bit longer to arrive, but everything else was very quick! The eel was tender, large, and incredibly delicious. The foie gras was also a pleasant surprise on a 100 yen plate! The large and free parking lot on-site is convenient. What surprised me the most was how clean and tidy everything was inside the restaurant! I definitely want to go back again! They also accept PayPay!

Women choose the No. 1 revolving sushi restaurant in 2021, Fish Rice. I arrived just after lunchtime and entered immediately. The restroom was clean and spacious, with a wheelchair-accessible stall as well as separate stalls for men and women. I sat at a booth and ordered everything through a touch panel. At Fish Rice, the sushi circulates on a three-tier lane with shinkansen trains and sports cars delivering the sushi to you. When you take a plate, you press the return button on the touch panel. The sushi was delicious, the place was clean, and the service was fast and enjoyable. You can also order pickled ginger and soy sauce through the touch panel, although soy sauce is also available on the table. Most of the sushi came without wasabi, so you could add it yourself from the wasabi on the table. The powdered green tea was also tasty. They provided black plastic chopsticks instead of wooden ones. The highlight was the special oversized mayonnaise shrimp sushi with burnt chili oil, which was incredibly delicious. The atmosphere was quiet and pleasant for a revolving sushi restaurant. The staff kept the area around the booth seats tidy and clean, which was nice to see. They also had measures in place for dealing with norovirus, as indicated in the restroom. I was impressed by the serious approach to handling fresh fish at the restaurant. I will definitely come back. Thank you very much. Bon appétit!

I entered the restaurant on a Saturday lunchtime without any prior information, feeling hungry. It was a bit late for lunch, but there were about 5 groups of customers waiting. The reception was done through a large touch panel where you could select the number of people, counter or table seating preference, and your favorite sushi character to wait. I was puzzled by the concept of choosing a favorite sushi character, but I waited for my turn. When called, I used a different touch panel to confirm my order and selected my favorite sushi character to be guided to my seat. I realized that from entering to being seated, there was no interaction with the staff, just like a password system. I sat at the counter with another person, each ordering through the touch panel, and our sushi arrived on a train running on tracks above and below us. The sushi was delicious, probably because it was freshly made, with slightly warm rice and fresh ingredients. I ended up ordering a lot because it was so tasty!

I usually don't eat ramen or udon at conveyor belt sushi restaurants, but this time I decided to try the miso ramen. I was surprised. It was delicious. I didn't expect the ramen at a sushi restaurant to be this good. They're quite skilled. Sushi restaurant ramen is not bad at all. Thank you for the meal. PayPay ⭕️

After leaving Sushiro, the last place I headed to was this restaurant. With over 80 varieties available for 110 yen each (tax included), the sushi does not rotate on a conveyor belt. The sign outside said "Non-revolving sushi." The tuna pieces were 103mm and 105mm, while the mackerel pieces were 80mm each. The rice was 53mm x 22mm. The tuna pieces were indeed large as the restaurant advertised, and they were delicious! Thank you for the meal. *Verification result: The rice size was approximately 50mm x 20mm at all the places visited. *On New Year's Day, the restaurant was crowded with customers picking up orders. While waiting in the lobby for my wife to come back from the restroom, I overheard a conversation between a customer and a staff member: "What time did you make the reservation for?" "It was at [time]..." "Sir, your reservation is at the Yao store, not the Higashi-Osaka store." It would be a problem if they got it wrong. *Measurements were estimated by eye. Due to using separate utensils for hygiene, the measurements are approximate. The length of the fish was measured horizontally, and the rice was measured in both length and width. The thickness was not measured.

I had some errands in Higashi Osaka. I hadn't eaten anything since morning and missed lunchtime. I wanted to eat something light... I found a new restaurant I've never seen before! I thought it was a conveyor belt sushi place, but it wasn't rotating. You order using a touch panel. The sushi was good and it was nice to eat casually.

[Visit Date: June 28, 2021 17:45] First visit. The total amount was 1540 yen including tax. Paid with shareholder benefit vouchers worth 1500 yen and d payment. Ordered only 100 yen plates using the touch panel, totaling 14 plates. Also ordered chicken sticks, not shown in the picture. Since it was not crowded, the service was quick. The sushi we ordered was delivered on a two-tiered lane, with racing cars on the top lane and Shinkansen on the bottom lane. The quality of the sushi at this conveyor belt sushi restaurant was decent, with some lukewarm toppings like yellowtail. The sushi with chili oil was particularly delicious.

I always wanted to visit this place after seeing it on TV. It's located near my relative's house, so I finally had the chance to come. The location is right along a main street, so it was easy to find. The large parking lot made it convenient, and the restaurant itself was clean and nice. You order using a touch panel, and the food is delivered to your table by a train on a rail next to it. The rail has two levels, so the food arrives quickly without any congestion, which is great. The sushi was delicious and well-priced. If it were closer, I would definitely come here often. I will visit again next time I'm at my relative's house. Thank you for the meal.

As a reminder... Please note that the menu may have changed since the last update in August 2020. I ordered the following items: - Shrimp Tempura Roll (¥110) - Seafood Yukke-style (¥110) - Flounder (¥110) - Simmered Conger Eel (¥110) - Trio of Light (¥154): Mackerel, Sardine, Seared Spanish Mackerel - Tuna Tataki with Natto (¥110) - Shrimp Mayo (¥110) - Seared Shrimp with Pepper (¥110) - Assorted Shrimp (¥110)

I visited for lunch. The garage was spacious and easy to park in a noticeable location. Inside the restaurant, there were counter seats and table seats. I sat at the counter seat and placed my order via a touch screen, which was a bit confusing at first. The food was okay, nothing special. It might be a good place for families with children.

I suddenly decided to have lunch and found this restaurant nearby, so I visited for the first time. The interior was spacious and clean, and I noticed a sign saying "non-revolving sushi," so I wondered if the staff would bring it to me. But instead, sushi was delivered by a train-like conveyor belt. I was surprised by how quickly the dishes arrived after ordering on the touch panel. The sushi was fresh, colorful, and delicious, typical of this kind of restaurant. The rice portions were on the smaller side, so it might not be filling for big eaters. We tried various dishes and left feeling satisfied after spending around 3100 yen for two people, including a highball and a non-alcoholic beer.

I visited Kura Sushi in Higashi Osaka. The restaurant is located on the southwest corner of the Ikibe intersection where the Chuo Ring Road and Sangyo-doro intersect. The basic price is 100 yen per plate, with some slightly more expensive items. Orders are placed using a touch panel system, and the dishes are brought to your table on a conveyor belt. Kura Sushi is a brand under the Genki Sushi Group, a nationwide chain originating from Utsunomiya, and offers a flat rate of 100 yen per plate. Compared to other conveyor belt sushi chains like Sushiro and Kura Sushi, I felt that Kura Sushi was slightly better. Thank you for the meal. (At the time of visit: Rating 3.05, 18 reviews)
