My first conveyor belt sushi experience! The prices were very reasonable and the dishes were of great variety. I wanted to try the whale bacon but it never came out; I could’ve asked for it but I didn’t want to bother. Everything I got was delicious, but my friend got a bad tuna that might’ve been sitting out for a while. We also saw a couple sushi dishes that looked a bit sad/old, so it seems they just tend to leave all the plates on the conveyor for as long as possible. The chef who was making the sushi rolls was also very helpful, as we were sitting right in front of him when he noticed we tried to grab a fresh one he made but couldn’t really reach, so he passed it to us. If he hadn’t, we would’ve had to wait for the sushi to make the entire round around the restaurant and by then it might’ve been snatched up. They also provide two types of green tea at the table, or just hot water. The wasabi pot is on the conveyor so there isn’t an individual wasabi pot at each seat.

Very unfriendly experience in Japan. Typical japanese sushi restaurant where you have to call the cook what you want. I called the cook wearing glasses and he screamed at me to wait with anger. I was shocked. Is this Japan? Hell I am paying money to be comfortable right? I went there 5 or 6 times but this time is my last. I am never going there or recommend to anyone.

Typical japanese conveyor sushi place. Teh quality of food is so so. But to eat the dish you want, you have to ask the clerk to make the sushi instead of simply picking up from the conveyor. And it takes time. Newer conveyor sushi places like Kira sushi will be easier experience for the foreigners.

Best affordable sushi chain in Kansai.

Saya sering pergi ke restoran kaitenzushi (sushi konveyor) seperti Sushiro atau Kura Sushi. Ini pertama kalinya ke Genroku Sushi. Kesan pertama adalah tempatnya agak kecil. Melihat menu, kesan pertama saya adalah jumlah pilihannya sedikit. Menu sushinya sedikit, dan yang lebih mengejutkan lagi adalah sedikitnya menu sampingan. Sebenarnya tidak apa-apa sih, karena menu utama yang biasa saya pesan sudah pasti. Biasanya di tempat lain ada udon, ramen, tempura, dll. sebagai menu sampingan. Hal itu ternyata tidak biasa. Saya pikir akan ada kue atau manisan untuk hidangan penutup, ternyata hanya ada es krim lembut. Satu hal yang bagus adalah sushinya dikepal dengan tangan, bukan oleh mesin (mungkin?!). Sekian. Genroku Sushi tidak buruk, tapi saya ingin tahu strategi bisnis seperti apa yang mereka miliki untuk bersaing dengan Sushiro atau Kura Sushi.
