This is the best sushi i’ve her had in my whole life. It’s so convenient and as soon as you walk in, you’re eating immediately. All their other dishes that you can order off the screen are amazing and the staff are so friendly!

love this sushi place. always very fresh sushi, and you can truly sample a large variety of things since a lot of rolls are offered as half of a portion for less money on the conveyor belt. you can still order full size rolls, though. best sushi in rochester for sure- it’s delicious- don’t skip out on the volcano roll, amazing roll, and spicy tuna roll- the salmon and tuna are super fresh and delicious. for apps and entrees, i really recommend the kani salad which is perfect, the miso soup which is always flavorful and hot, any variety of udon, and the steak teriyaki which is cooked perfectly and is soft and super flavorful. be aware that they do not except reservations and on friday-sunday nights it does get very packed and there will be around a 30 minute wait.

It is warm. I was there for 45 minutes and the same sushi was on the belt the entire time I was there.

I have NEVER liked sushi. Ever. It's only been tolerable. I've tried to find the one thing that makes it yucky, but I've had no luck. It was never the fish, because I didn't like veggie rolls. It wasn't the seaweed because I didn't like rolls without that. Couldn't be avocado because I didn't like sushi without avocado either. I thought I was just doomed to be a person who didn't like basically the world's favorite food. However...I went here and tried a piece of "Sweet Potato Roll" and it was one of the best bites of food I've had in a long time. I kid you not I literally started tearing up because this was the first time I not only liked a piece of sushi, but LOVED it!! I ate an entire roll and a half myself. I even ordered a shrimp tempura roll (which had avocado AND seaweed) and loved that too! Most of the sushi moves around on a conveyer, and has little title cards to say what each thing is. You pick up the plate (which is covered so no other people's germs on it), when it gets to your table number, and a tiny camera on the conveyor scans a tiny QR code to charge it to your table. However, you aren't limited to just what is on the conveyor. There is also a little iPad at each table that you can order things "a la carte" from. Drinks are delivered by a little robot, and he winks at you when he leaves lol. Any non-revolving food items are sent to your table on a separate a la carte conveyor above the rest. One thing I will say, it is very easy to spend so much money, because you're ordering per item. However, my experience was great. I would 1500% go back. We (mostly I, because my friend had been there before) had so many great things. Steak teriyaki, pork gyoza, chicken tempura, the sweet potato rolls, chicken soba and chicken udon, and the dessert?? Like a fried pastry with red bean paste still warm and delicious served with ice cream. There was not a thing I didn't like. Only downside (not worth demoting a whole star) was that it's definitely not a good place for a large group. I would say no more than 4 people is what's comfortable, and they do not take reservations. However, I would highly, highly, highly recommend. There are a ton of veggie/vegan options for everyone. They have so much NON sushi, which is what I thought I was going to need, and is great for those who need it. BUT, this place definitely made me a sushi lover, and I WILL be going back!

One of my first ever visits to a revolving sushi restaurant. I recommend it. Highly! The flavor of every bite of sushi was on point and incredibly delicious. Service was very fast and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. This is now one of our favorite places to go for dinner.

I ordered a pick up order through Door Dash of tamago, inari, and the Oshinko roll. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the tamago or inari. The tofu skin of the inari was very soggy and felt like it had been sitting around for a while. The tamago didn't taste fresh, either. The Oshinko roll was good, but nothing better than the sushi at Wegmans. I wanted to give this place a fair chance, because even though I'm not interested in the revolving experience (I'd rather order what I want up front), the reviews for the food itself were good. I wouldn't come back though, as the quality didn't reflect the high prices.

Super cool spot and amazing food! If you’ve never been I recommend discussing with the server the process - if you come in uninformed to this dining experience you may feel silly not following the process to grab sushi or put in your order. The staff is attentive and the drink delivery robot is a cute addition! Tailor your expectations, you’re coming to a revolving sushi restaurant, things are made as written on the menu, no exceptions. Great experience and food. We got right in on a Friday night arriving just before 5:00pm.Dietary restrictions: This is not a spot to come if you’re looking for dietary accommodations.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible through the back entrance.

Sushi was good! Staff were friendly and the whole system was very efficient. Super fun experience I would recommend trying it!

I thought it would be low class like buffet food on a belt, but it turns out to be excellent. You can eat at your own pace, get to read about the sushi roll as it goes by, and just take a look at what seems appetizing. The quality and flavors are as good as any well made sushi roll. You can also order side dishes directly to your table, like miso soup. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Spent about $25 for my lunch.

The 2 of us had Kani salad (crab stick with cruncy vegetable), edamame, veggie gyoza, seaweed salad, miso soup, alaskin role 3 piece, spicy crab role 3 piece, fried shumai, tofu rice pods, tiayaki dessert (redbean fish shaped pasty with icecream). Price before tip was 62.00. honestly, we did not need that much food. I truly enjoyed. the place was very clean and organized, the food was all fresh and delicious, the experience was super fun. I enjoyed picking the items off the electronic screen at my table. It was fun watching the robot deliver drinks to table. If you are 2 people they put you on a side bar type table. We had to ask to get the middle booth which was more comfortable for us. Will go back for food, cleanliness and novelty.

This is already one of our favorite places to eat in Rochester when we can get out without kids. There's no wait for food if you pick from the belt options and choosing from the personal kiosk is also fast. The "entertainment" aspect is fun, but the food is all great as well. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: There aren't many vegetarian or vegan options from the conveyor belt, you will need to order other items separatelyKid-friendliness: This isn't a good place for small kids
