This was a great time and the conveyor belt style is iconic without a doubt! Our waitress was a lot of fun and... extremely kind even though we didn't need to interact often. This experience is definitely on the pricier end, but that's somewhat understandable considering that it's a novelty within the city. The only things that would make this a perfect score is better ventilation within the building so that you don't leave the restaurant with your clothes smelling of fish and also by offering more preparations of sushi.read more

Pretty good overall, but the sushi selection is pretty limited. The sushi they do have is tasty but nothing... spectacular. The service is great and very kind. I think it’s a good place to try to get a quick bite and enjoy the novelty of the train. However I think they could really improve by adding new sushi rolls to the menu.read more

I honestly didn't know what to think, when I first heard about it, but I was blown away! It is one of the most visually... stimulating and amazing places to eat. The service was excellent and the sushi was fantastic. My taste buds actually gave me a high five at one point! Give it a try.read more

Such a great place to try lots of dishes. Not a fan this trip of the egg rolls. Edamame is not hot and was best I've... had in a long time! The menu is mostly sushi now. They have amazing other dishes as well.read more

We went to a conveyor belt sushi place in Osaka, Japan a few years ago and this was a fun find right in our backyard!... The food was all delicious, and we had great service from the staff. It's great to take a plate or two for "appetizers" as you watch the options for dinner stroll by. The time between plates helps you fill up, so you don't get too many plates and overeat! We left very content in our tummies and our wallet!read more

They are just getting better every time I go there. I have been there 3 times and the vegetarian options of sushi keep... increasing, first time it was avocados, cucumber and avocado cucumber. Second time they added sweet potato sushi and this time, they had avocado cream cheese sushi and did I love it. Nona there has really taken the restaurant with storm with her creative ideas and vegetarian options. I will keep coming back to this place again and again. Also, as a vegetarian, I feel the pricing overall is economic for eating sushi. :)read more

Been here a couple times (usually on a weekday evening). They have a decent happy hour drink selection and Asahi on... tap. Just like any sushi carousel the cost can add up quickly if you go for the premium plates or end up packing away a stack of plates the size of the Eiffel tower. Everything was fresh and the servers kept our waters full and checked on us often. Part of the fun is keeping your eyes peeled for a roll or dish that you fancy and seeing it round the bend and come straight to your table. There is a full bar too and nice clean gender neutral bathrooms. Would definitely make another stop here for some good sushi that brings the same joy as getting your luggage from airport baggage claim (or rather all the bags from all the claims if you so desire).read more

Good food, fun with the little conveyor belt taking food around the restaurant (make sure to sit along counter as... opposed to tables, so you don't have to keep asking the people at the end of the table to get your food for you). Would have given five stars, but the portions are small. I went with a group and you really need to be aware (plates are color coded to signal different price points). If you are all sharing the cost may be better, with three of us the cost ended up being $145. Mind you one person had a drink and ordered six mochi.read more

It's good fish but that's the only redeeming quality. Prices are high and the portions are small, the variety is... lacking hard. You can easily spend $80 on two people and not be super full, or you could go to a real sushi place with quality sushi and get more for your money. I've been to the sushi trains in Japan and they're a million miles better. This is a very pared down version of the real thing. Not to mention the staff act like they don't want to be there and I've been there multiple times now.read more

Very pleasantly surprised! The food quality was really good. Good selection. Not bad selection of gluten free and... vegetarian options. They have low sodium and gluten free soy sauce. There are options for hot food and appetizers from the kitchen as well as sushi on the train. Fun experience. I don’t eat raw fish, and it was nice that the contents and whether or not it was cooked or raw was clearly labelled on the conveyer belt.read more

Good food but bad service! 🙁 We were told that there was a... 25 min wait and gave our name and number. Ended up waiting almost an hour before we asked about our table. We were told we were being seated next. Then we waited 30 min more and checked a second time with the host, since we were the only people left waiting. We had seen multiple people that came after us get seated. We were also waiting right by the host stand for almost 60 min so she could definitely see us waiting.Turns out the host had forgotten about us… After waiting for almost an hour and a half, next to the host stand. I was upset and made a sarcastic comment about having to wait longer, which I do regret saying. We had been crossed off the waiting list by mistake, which was a genuine accident. However, the host then told me that I was being rude to her as we were being seated. Shortly after starting our dinner we were interrupted again by a server not assigned to our table. She told me that the host was having a bad day and I was told to apologize to her.I am very sorry that the host was upset by my comment, but I find it VERY inappropriate that an uninvolved server came up to us while we were eating to bring up very specific personal issues about what was going on in the host’s personal life. I do think I could have handled the situation better on my end, but being asked “how I can make it up to the host” was way over the line. The interaction was over and it did not need to be brought up again.As a note, the actual server assigned to our table went out of her way to ensure we had an enjoyable experience after this situation.I have really enjoyed eating at Sushi Train for a while now and the food is great for the price range. But I don’t feel comfortable going there again knowing that I may have another bad experience like this. We will not be returning. This occurred on 10-9-21read more

Great sushi for very low prices. Definitely worth visiting... for people who want to try a wide variety of types and maybe see something new you might like!Street parking is a little difficult in this corner, I'd recommend taking the metro and walking the few blocks but otherwise several parking garages are nearby if you're willing to pay.read more

Seemed like a cool place, but never got to try it. We were... sat at the bar, but we asked to sit somewhere else. Lady just disappeared. We saw an empty table and sat there. Lady manager told us it's not self seat and had us get up. While we were waiting, she told us that it will be 18% gratuity because we were more then 5 people. Still we were not seated. While we were waiting they told us to move because we were in the way. Lol. If you seated us we won't be in the way. Anyway, service seems rude from other reviews and from our experience. We left without trying. Better places to eat around the city. Not worth it.read more

I really enjoyed the service my waiter Jerry was really... nice. The food was definitely passable. Perhaps it was the items I had but the temperature of some of the items were a bit concerning to me. The seaweed salad was great but a tad bit on the sweeter side. I think the largest drawback for me was the smell of the restaurant and maybe it was just a weird day for them but there was a really strong ‘restaurant musty’ scent in there, which at a point started burning my nose and eyes and stayed in my clothing. I’m sure it’s not something that can’t be fixed with better ventilation. But for this reason I’ve given them 4 stars. Beyond that I enjoyed the experience and I would like to be back but only if that ventilation is fixed.read more

Chew-chew! This was such a great little afternoon trip!... Little pricey, but you have to come to expect this from a themed sushi joint like this. Sushi was fresh, sides came quickly and service was really friendly. COVID rules adhered to and no crowds to worry over. You want to try everything which doesnt help with the final colored plate stack. Experienced this in Japan, but I would say our experience here in the States was much more enjoyable. Staff were much more attentive and understanding of the whole process. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes.read more

Out of every restaurant that we’ve been to since the shut... down, Sushi Train definitely had the best Covid-19 protocols. They take your name and number down, and only seat every other booth, which I appreciate since I really haven’t seen the same in many other restaurants. The experience of just picking off what you want from the conveyor belt is so fun, and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back!read more

We got a salmon poke bowl and a number of things from the... sushi train. I loved the poke bowl (my dining companion doesn’t like spicy mayo so didn’t like it), and the sushi was very good. I liked the smaller portions because it allowed you to grade up or down your food based on how hungry you were, and the salmon avocado, peanut avocado, sashimi, and most things were delicious when we got them. We didn’t get it, but they also had peanut butter jelly rolls that looked great for kids. Their COVID spacing was great, and for a more casual conveyer belt sushi place they did a great job of keeping people separate.read more

Had a delicious meal ordered but I was disappointed to find... out that while 3 pieces of salmon sashimi are about $5, the Toro Tuna (single piece) is about $7. That is not an issue as Toro is expensive. But the piece I got is about a third of a full slice. Roughly the size of a quarter, whereas the salmon is about 3 inches (as are all other sashimi). I do not think this is the normal size, as like I said its barely about as big as a quarter, less than a bite. For $7. Not impressed as the flavor isn't even very full, its just very fishy. Salmon is amazing though.read more

If you’re new to sushi this is a great place to go because... you get to see all the sushi traveling around the room and choose what looks good (instead of looking at a menu and guessing what might be good).

Most expensive plate was $5.75 bit of course I had 3 of them. Wish they had more tap beer choices but still very cool place.read more
