Hikari Bullet Train Sushi & Bar

Great service with Mark! he went above and beyond. made us feel welcomed and valued as customers. food was quickly served and delicious. superb and lovely night. will be coming back.

This is my favorite conveyor belt style sushi spot in the city! The ordering system is super intuitive and easy, and the food quality is great. I enjoyed all the sushi I ordered, but my favorite was the cherry blossom roll. I can't wait to come back to try more sushi.

I came here with my family, as we needed to find a place that fit all our different dietary needs - one person has a soy allergy, so mainly sticks to sushi. One doesn't care for sushi and only eats rice bowls. This place was perfect for everyone and has a great variety of Japanese dishes. I got the chirashi, and it came with 12 pieces of sashimi (including 2 salmon, 2 tuna, unagi, squid, and more), salmon roe, mushroom tempura, pickled cucumber, and tamago. It was very filling! The sashimi pieces were nice and thick. A couple of people got the bento, and they were huge! The main dish was a very generous portion. My brother got a katsu don that was also very large. It took the longest to come out, but after seeing it, it made sense! We also got a 49s rolls, which tasted fresh, especially with the super thin lemon slice. It's quick and easy to order food on the tablet at the table. The food mainly comes by conveyor belt, but they also have a robot to bring the bigger dishes. So expect minimal interaction with workers, but they all seemed pleasant. We came on a Friday around 1pm and were seated immediately. Overall, it was a very filling lunch, and I would definitely come back if I had a group with varying food preferences.

I don't go to Japantown very often but everytime I come I have decision paralysis. Which one of the many restaurants do I go to? I love Japanese food so it's a really difficult choice. On this day, I had a hankering for sushi. After checking out photos and reviews, I decided on Hikari. But it was really because it was the closest to where I parked. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality despite it being kaiten sushi. My only complaint is the sticker shock. $60 for lunch for 1 person. It was good though, so I can't complain TOO much.

Came here with my dad and son since my son loves conveyor belt sushi and trains. This place was perfect for him! We came for early dinner on a Sunday and luckily did not have to wait. This place was bright and clean. While we were eating, the line to get in got longer and I noticed there were a good amount of tourist customers which is expected since we were in Japantown. After ordering, the food comes quite quickly. My son loved seeing the food come out on the trains to our table and he also had a good time sending the trains back to the kitchen. He also enjoy the robots bringing out food and drinks. The sushi and rolls were also pretty good quality and size. The prices were a bit on the higher side but it was a fun and cool experience. Give it a try!

Update: 5/28/24 Looks like the restaurant made a mistake and they refunded me $33. Original review below. -- Beware of overcharge. We just came back from dining here and when we were paying at the front, the restaurant was really busy. So I didn't notice the overcharge. Is this intentional fraud or negligence as we have two slips, so why would they charge us 2x for $24.90 when we have another slip for $103.50? They should have only charged us once for $24.90 + 103.50. Hmm. Also, I tipped them on top of that so I'm even more annoyed. I tried to call the restaurant but no one answers the phone. No vm available either. The food is not bad, but this experience sour it. Won't be coming back. Be aware of possible fraud. Be aware of overcharge.

Decent quality sushi! Prices aren't cheap, but they sure do have a pretty big variety. I recommend the salmon toro nigiri! Really tasty. The salmon tuna avocado roll was also satisfying. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here! However, it's a fun experience for a somewhat Japan-like feel. The bullet trains that deliver the food are cute and quick. Don't get it confused with revolving sushi bars, this sushi is made-to-order.

Every time my Fiancé and I come to San Francisco, we HAVE to stop by Hikari and have some sushi. It's some of the best! As soon as you walk in, greeted by the hostess and asked if you'd like to sit in a booth or at the sushi bar. Both options still offer the bullet train sushi! We always eat at the booth for personal comfortability. Once seated, they give you a little pitcher of water with some cups and Wasabi with ginger and leave you to take your order on the tablet located above the train conveyor windows. There's hardly any interaction from the workers after that unless you have empty dishes for them to take or you call them over with any of the service buttons. Unique, love it! Sushi comes out quick and on the bullet train. It's always so cool watching your order come to you on the train and then sending the train back to the kitchen when you're all done. The sushi is fresh and delicious, some of the best in San Francisco. The sashimi is fresh and isn't cut thin like some places and actually cut nicely and served on a bed of shredded daikon with a wedge of lemon. The double spicy salmon roll I ordered was tasty and filling. Double spicy was an understatement, though, as it could've had much more spice, but nicely flavored with spice. A robot waiter serves you any food made from the kitchen that isn't sushi, like bento boxes. It makes light music as it rolls slowly to you, stops at your table, allows you to grab the food, and then send it back when you're done. Adding to the minimal interaction with human workers. The pork tonkatsu bento box my fiancé ordered was delicious and left him completely satisfied and happy. I took some bites as well and loved every bit of it. Hikari is a unique and delicious experience that won't leave you disappointed at all. The good food and the creativeness of the bullet train delivering your sushi orders to you offers a fulfilling experience that leaves you happy and full. The minimal interaction with the workers makes for a different experience that makes things much simpler and quicker. It's def worth a stop if you're visiting San Francisco or a local.

Came here with my cousins, auntie and uncle- (they dont usually like sushi) they tried some new stuff and they loved it as well as me! Super cute to watch the train and the food tastes amazing. They are really quick with your food n drinks and totally worth the price!!! I would definitely recommend it if you are a fan of this cuisine.

Food comes out on the conveyor belt pretty fast, quality of the fish is surprisingly good. 5 plates was actually a bit pricey though as each plate was about $10-11.

With nearly every sushi boat/belt restaurant I've come across, I've almost always felt compelled to try them. Regardless of the overall reputation those types of places have, it's hard for me to resist the novelty, even if I'm literally paying a premium for it. So really, why would it be any different when I first discovered Hikari? I mean, if anything, my curiosity is even more justified, given how it's a sushi TRAIN restaurant (read: it's something different!). Now, compared to sushi belt/boat restaurants, there actually is a real benefit to having your food brought out via their trains. Not only do you not have to worry about how long the sushi has been circling around, but, presumably, it's made to order. Of course, every seat/table is outfitted with a tablet so you can peruse/order at your leisure. The menu has a decent mix of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi to offer, though the type of fish/protein they use isn't super varied (mostly salmon, tuna, hamachi, and shrimp in different preparations). If you'd prefer cooked dishes, you're in luck - Hikari also has a surprisingly decent slate of appetizers, donburis, and ramen/udon options to choose from (brought to you by the robot waiter that circles the restaurant). -- TORO NIGIRI COMBO - Tuna, Salmon, Hamachi...$14.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hikari-sushi-and-bar-san-francisco-3?select=17Tozfh7dV3VXz5CyUDXiQ) Although it's pricier per piece this way, I love the efficiency. All three varieties were great, but I liked the hamachi belly best, which was super flavorful. The tuna wasn't far behind (not sure if it was o-toro or chu-toro) followed by the salmon belly, which wasn't as fatty/luscious as I thought it'd be. -- ANKIMO - Monkfish Liver...$15.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hikari-sushi-and-bar-san-francisco-3?select=2HEy4EggoSOHF_D6-9F3Bw) Sigh...I wish I had listened to my wallet instead of my stomach. On the one hand, this was pretty decent. The liver was silky smooth and simply tasted really good. Yet, for just three pieces (!), I'm not really sure this was worth it. -- SALMON HAND ROLL...$5.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hikari-sushi-and-bar-san-francisco-3?select=hHuQH8oDn94eOIukFYxZrA) Pretty solid, though not spectacular. The cut of salmon was fresh and fairly sizable and I liked how the roll itself was stuffed full of filler. As for the rice, it was surprisingly tender and neither mealy nor hard. -- ABURI SALMON TORO NIGIRI - Seared Salmon Belly Nigiri...$7.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hikari-sushi-and-bar-san-francisco-3?select=5M80u76zrEevdE8uT7GoQA) I love seared salmon, but this was just okay. While the salmon itself was quite tasty, the sear on this was super light. Great in that it wasn't burnt, but it left the fish somewhere between not raw yet not really cooked either. In total, based purely on taste, Hikari's sushi isn't too shabby at all. By no means is that to say it's amongst the best I've had, but it's far from the worst (sushi boat/belt or otherwise). It's just that when you factor in the price, unfortunately, it's hard to get too excited about the value, especially when it came to the ankimo. For my money, I'd be more inclined to head inside the mall and eat at Izumi for better quality nigiri at a comparable price. THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

Great quality fish and the sushi rice was perfect.. prices may seem about a buck more per plate than some of the other sushi places but the fish is fresh and the rice perfect. Order up on the touch screen above your seat, and just a minute or two later, your order comes straight to you carried by a smooth running "Shinkansen" (Bullet Train) that glides swiftly and silently to where you are sitting. The almost-in-Shinjuku busy energetic vibe here is refreshing to the soul for someone that misses Japan. Even the "press to return" chime sounds a lot like the "doors closing" sounds of the real Japanese Bullet Trains! Bonus points!! Minimal human interaction, except for the time I accidentally added some wine onto the order from the touchscreen. They took care of it right away with gladness, no problems. Yeah, I know, there are other places for sushi, but this one hit all the right notes for me..

Fish quality is pretty good for the price. I don't think it's the best quality, but I think you get good value here. In my opinion, the amount of fish you get is usually fairly large There is minimal interaction with a server given the automated sushi delivery train so it could possibly be difficult flagging a server down for anything. Occasionally you'll see a robot roll through the store delivery large items that don't fit on the train. Ambiance is very casual. Hikari is a nice place to have a quick meal during lunch, especially if you don't like interacting with too many people.

Very happy SF has a novelty sushi spot. It's fun when the train comes and perfect for our seemingly fanatic little sushi fans. Because you order from a computer, the service is zero fuss. Hopefully this place holds up!

Do not go here. My sister and I got an extreme bout of food poisoning after coming here. They have also already been found in violation of safety standards by the SF public health department recently. It looks like a great place to take your kids, but the restaurant is not sanitary.

Came here for lunch and was seated immediately. Although it was pricier than I was expecting, the quality was great. The chawanmushi was silky and cozy. The sushi was fresh and yummy. And the bento box was pretty big, we had tons to take home for leftovers. The handroll was pretty stuffed as well. The food came out pretty fast and our bento even came out on a robot cat that delivers orders! I'd definitely come back since all the food was consistently delicious but I think there are better options for the price.

We decided to take the kids to a sushi restaurant, which is kind of dangerous in my opinion, as it can get expensive and kids want it all. We brought them here because they have a variety of items from sushi to katsu plates, rice sets, noodles, ramen, etc. They even had french fries for my 2 year old. But the real reason they wanted to come is that they serve the sushi dishes via bullet train and have a robot that serves plates. The kids really thought this was cool. The food was decent, but on the higher price side for the quality. Most rolls were between $17-20, nigiri between $7-15 for two pieces, sashimi was $11 for three pieces and rice set plates between $19-25. Service was fast, but not too friendly which made me feel a little out of place. I did not want the place to look down on having kids dining there, so I made sure they were well behaved and didn't make too much noise. We had a good time overall, but wouldn't really think of this place as a real family friendly place. It's more of a novelty for tourists, first dates, IG posts, etc.

Location across from the Japantown Mall, we wanted an app before our main dinner. The concept was super fun with the bullet train delivering the food. My daughter and nephew got a kick out of it. And loved seeing other tables orders fly by. I really enjoyed the tablet ordering system. That rocks!! You can order as you go. However you can't settle the bill which is odd and definitely worth the upgrade. I only give three stars because the food was super basic. After eating in SF on a whirlwind eating tour, we can tell the difference.

Surprisingly good for automat train sushi in a touristy area. A strong 4/5 and they have yummy salmon nigiri and hand rolls. The other stuff like katsu and ramen are just alright but I have low expectations. Service = 90% trains and robots, but it's fun and kids LOVED IT. (Like half the population dining here was family with kids.)

Food came out fast after ordering on the screen. The fish were fresh and good sized pieces.

This was my first time trying Hikari, but we have eaten at other conveyor belt sushi restaurants. Hikari is unique in that you order off of a tablet and the food is either delivered to you on a train via the conveyor belt or a robot delivers it to your table. The food does come quickly after you order, which is a plus. I was not familiar with the menu and should have looked extensively before ordering because the bill adds up quickly. My kids ordered an Alaskan roll, an unagi roll and a spicy tuna hand roll. My husband ordered the teriyaki salmon bento box, which came with edamame, gyoza, California roll and rice. I ended up ordering 5 nigiri plates (uni, amaebi, hotate, ikura, and salmon belly), but wasn't full. I ended up ordering the chirashi, which around $20 is a bargain. Overall, I thought the fish was fresh and the food was fine, but nothing was outstanding and don't feel the need to go back.

I recently visited Hikari Sushi & Bar in San Francisco on a Saturday evening around 5, and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Located across the street from the Japantown mall on Post street, we parked in the underground parking. On this particular Saturday, there wasn't any wait time, allowing us to get seated promptly. What sets Hikari apart is its unique ordering system via tablet, reminiscent of other conveyor belt sushi places like Kura. However, unlike Kura, where plates circulate on a conveyor belt, at Hikari, everything needs to be ordered through the tablet. The menu was extensive, offering a wide range of options from handrolls, nigiri, sashimi, noodles, specialty rolls to curry plates. One notable aspect was the use of a bullet train to deliver the sushi to your table. This added an element of entertainment to the dining experience, making it quite engaging. The delivery time for the orders was good, with most items arriving within just a few minutes. The longest wait we experienced was around 15 minutes. The service, in general, met expectations, and the staff was attentive. The tea provided was warm, though not piping hot, which might be a point to consider for those who prefer their tea steaming hot. As for the sushi itself, it was decent but didn't quite reach the level of greatness. It seemed like the emphasis was more on the entertainment factor rather than the absolute quality of the sushi. In summary, Hikari Sushi & Bar offers a unique and entertaining dining experience with its innovative ordering system and sushi delivery via a bullet train. While the sushi quality is good, it might not be the best in town. If you're looking for a fun and lively atmosphere with a diverse menu, Hikari is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for a potential wait if you arrive during peak hours.

My partner wanted to try out this bullet train sushi place. All in all a super fun experience! It would be a unique place to bring visitors. Food: 3/5 The fish quality was definitely hit or miss for me. For whatever reason the fatty salmon tasted leaner than the regular salmon sashimi. I wouldn't order it again. We got the sashimi combo which came with tuna (too fishy for my taste), salmon (perfect), and hamachi (pretty good!) We also got chicken karaage but the flavor was lacking for me. Ambiance: 5/5 Fun dining room with bullet trains that deliver your small plates to you. You order with a tablet at your table. A robot will deliver any bigger bowls but we didn't order any of those. Plenty of tables. I didn't have super high expectations for the food since I think places like this in the US are more focused on the novelty of the experience. Would bring guests here again but might not come for a sushi meal on my own.

This was my friend's and my first time getting conveyor belt sushi, and it was super fun! After you order on the screen above the belt, the food comes right to your table on a little bullet train, and you push a button to send the train back. So cute! We had eaten a lot of pastries before lunchtime, so we just shared a spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and karaage. The salmon was surprisingly good (I didn't have very high expectations since I thought it was more for the experience), and so was the generously portioned karaage--super well fried and seasoned. The tuna roll was a bit of a letdown, but still good enough to eat. I would 100% come back here if I were in the area again--it was so fun and reasonably priced considering the fun experience :)

Second timer here, food is good, i love how big and fresh their seafood is . They have bullet trains & a robo waiter to bring you food, which makes the experience exciting. It easily gets crowded, so time your visit

One of the best sushi places in sf! The rolls are fantastic and the bullet trains make it such a fun vibe!

Good sushi, super entertaining bullet train service! Will say the nigiri and maki are a bit expensive, but the donburi was delicious and at $25 I believe it was very fairly priced. The udon noodles were basic, nothing to rave about but definitely satisfied my craving. Bustling restaurant on a weekend which is always a good sign!

Came here on a weekday for lunch and got seated immediately. I love the bullet train concept, you order and your food comes out on a bullet train! The restaurant is clean, but the food was lacking. Food: - Salmon sashimi, 5/5, 4 big pieces. They definitely shined in their sashimi/nigiri dishes, and the fish was melt in your mouth and so yummy. - Chicken Katsu, 1/5, limp breading, not seasoned, sauce tangy - Hawaiian Roll- 3/5, the sauce overpowering and heavy, raw onions had a strong flavor that was also too much - 49er Roll: 3/5 too much lemon - Salmon otoro: 3/5, no noticeable difference from salmon shashimi for the difference in price - Unagi 4/5 - thin, good quality - Tempura 3/5, solid, no wow factor. Inconsistent, pumpkin was good, shrimp was meh Glad I tried this place, but probably won't be back.

I forgot to take pictures because this was my first experience at a bullet train sushi restaurant. It was amazing! It's also fantastic that it's kind of tucked right in the heart of Japantown. With the mall on one side, and the plaza on the other, hikari is located strategically in the center. Anyway, onto the restaurant. I ordered chicken Matus udon, 49er roll, and salmon teriyaki bento, and all of it was utterly delicious. The curry wasn't heavy or powdery, it was just right for a udon. Especially for an udon, it was the right consistency and everything. All of the food was delicious, there wasn't one dish that made us second guess it. Service is amazing with a balance of robots, trains, and humans lol! The robot knew exactly where to go, and had our order displayed perfectly upon arriving to our table. It's a whole experience eating here. Bring a date, bring a group, and let them be blown away at the bullet train, robot server, and humans. And then after eating, take a walk around Japantown, and go get some matcha for dessert!

Hikari was my first experience with bullet train sushi and did not disappoint the speed of service is remarkable the train provides a great theme and makes the experience incredibly enjoyable the food itself changed my feelings about sushi and shrimp I used not even consider eating sushi but hikari brought me to love it overall incredible and my highest recommendation for a birthday party

I love the concept and name of Hikari with the cute JR bullet trains that deliver the sushi. It was decently busy but the waitlist moved fast. The food was ok- the bentos are definitely a better value for the amount of food and gets delivered by a cute little robot. We ordered a second bento about 5 minutes after the first round and it took 30 minutes to come out so everyone was done eating before I got my food. The mango and scallop roll was pricey and tasted ok but was poorly made- literally pieces falling apart when picked up. Overall you are paying a hefty price tag for the novelty dining and it's not really about the food. The food is average at best and pricey. Restaurant is also not the cleanest likely due to the turnover rate.

A light 4 stars. You come here because your sushi is being served to you by a robot or a bullet train on the conveyor belt. It's fun to see, but the prices are just as expensive if you were to sit at a nicer Japanese restaurant. It's fun for the experience and if you don't want to interact with the staff because you order on screens in front of you.

After watching a movie at the Kabuki on Sunday, there were long lines everywhere for lunch in the mall. Thanks to Yelp, we found this restaurant just across the road with less people in line and we were able to get a table within 15 mins. First you check in by writing your name on the paper list on the counter. Up to 4 dishes may be ordered at a time on the pads and are delivered via bullet train or robots. Finally the bill is paid on the way out at the counter. We ordered bentos, sushi, chirashi and hot sake. The bentos and sushi were standard and pretty good. However, I have to say my Chirashi was really good value for $21.95. Presentation was beautiful and abundant. It included 2 x salmon, tuna, yellowtail, tilapia, squid, cooked shrimp, eel, 2 x tomago, salmon caviar, shredded radish, cucumber, shisho leaf and hot shiitake mushroom tempura. Everything was very good. I would love to try other food items on my next visit, but it will be hard not to order the Chirashi again. Definitely my favorite!!! This is a great place to try out, especially when there are long lines at the mall.

So this is a pricey sushi and Japanese food place with a good gimmick. The ordering by iPad and the bullet train delivery system is "cute." The sushi - was not as fresh as it could have been. It was not really well made. This isn't anywhere close to an upscale sushi place. It's very touristy. However, we did get seated quickly as they were about to close in an hour. They did have a robot waiter to deliver items, but we also had a live waiter as well.

This place was small and busy, but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. Tables are provided with plenty of water so we don't have to ask for more. You don't really interact much with the employees unless you call them, and if you need help they are very quick to come to the table. (Unfortunately I am allergic to sushi so I am basing part of my review off my friends' orders). Everyone seemed to enjoy their rolls! I got a Teriyaki Bento Box; it was tasty but the price definitely did not reflect the portion size. I wouldn't suggest getting the ice cream cone; for $4 you get basic ice cream in a very chewy cone). Absolutely LOVED the little robots and sushi trains delivering food!

Fun experience and pretty good sushi! We came in for the novelty of the bullet train sushi and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. Service was incredibly fast, and all the sushi came out immediately. I also liked all the decorations and details, from the wallpaper to the little Japan Railways logo on the side of the train. I ended up ordering way too much because it was fun to have the train come by. Would probably return if we were in the area again.

Stopped by this place for a bite to eat with the kids. We chose this spot because they had some selections that the kids would eat since they don't like sushi. They were satisfied with their chicken teriyaki bento boxes, but what kid eat salads? I think there should be a better mixture of items that kids no doubt would enjoy. The salad and Tamago were wasted because the kids wouldn't eat them and seemed like odd choices for have on their meals. I would have just gotten more rice as a substitute but there is no option to substitute on their virtual touchscreen menu. The sushi was just average overall, lacked flavor and the texture of the fish was as if it had been sitting out too long. It was edible, but after a few pieces my wife and I were over it pretty quickly. Usually my wife and I can go to town on some sushi but it just wasn't very appealing. Their soft shell crab was also super tiny for what it cost and we were pretty bummed overall. There's better sushi in the area and we only choose this place because they had some options for the kids, but I wouldn't recommend it to others. Their bullet train delivery and robot waiter are cool and all and you'd think the automation would lead to lower prices but I wasn't happy with the cost of our meal for what we got. At least we can say we experienced it.

This place is pricey, but worth it. It's really fun and interactive and the fish is fresh and delicious. The wasabi is also really fresh. You get the option to add it to your nigiri choices and it elevated the flavor on the fish really nicely! There are a lot of places to go eat sushi in j town, and this place is really fun and tasty!

A must-try sushi conveyor belt restaurant! The sashimi is fresh, offering perfect bite-sized pieces. Prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly. Highly recommended for a delightful sushi experience.

Came to this restaurant after visiting Japantown, it's right across the street. (: The food was so fresh, very fulfilling and tasty. Just looking at the photos again is making me hungry! The atmosphere is very inviting, super innovative with the way the sushi is delivered to you. I enjoyed seeing the trains pass by as I was waiting for my food! The service was very quick and efficient. Rolls came out very quickly. The pork curry ramen was what took the longest to come out and they delivered it using a cute robot This would be a very good date night option after leaving Japantown. Definitely coming here again when I'm in the city(:

The train food delivery was fun, but the pork teriyaki is super salty, and the udon a little bit small ~

Stopped by here tonight for a quick drink while waiting for our reservation at a different restaurant, and we were seated immediately! I've always wanted to go to a conveyor belt sushi place, and I'm so glad we accidentally stumbled upon this on a whim! We ordered a large hot sake to share, as well as a couple pieces of sushi. The hot sake was perfect for such a chilly night, and I thought the aburi salmon was super delicious and tender! The conveyor belt system was also very cute and efficient! I would definitely love to come back again for dinner to try more of their sushi.

The fatty nigiri here was amazing! Came here with a large group of 7 but we were able to be seated quickly. It is quite loud and racuous which was actually kind of nice and fun. The bullet train service was extremely fast and the ordering on ipad was so convenient. Great service, did enjoy

I am obsessed with this spot. The service was impeccable and friendly. You order via an electronic tablet at the table or counter and then your sushi order is sent via train on a track to your table and hot orders arrive via robot. My inner child was ecstatic and the food was really good especially the scallop nigiri and gyoza. Their hot tea was particularly delicious and the friendly staff even offered to take a photo for me and my friends inside. I really enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely be back. It was a family friendly restaurant without being too loud.

Such a fun place to eat! This place is loud and lively so come with friends. You order your food on a touch screen which is pretty convenient and then food arrives on a bullet train! It's so fun to watch the food come up. The servers come around and check on you too which is great! The sushi was very good and felt fresh. I really enjoyed the takoyaki because it was made to order.

I am thrilled to share my positive feedback about the exceptional service and exciting bullet train ambiance at Hikari Sushi and Bar. During my visit, I had the pleasure of indulging in the delicious Dragon Roll, savoring the delightful Salmon Philly Roll, and relishing the fresh Sashimi. The impeccable service added a positive touch to the dining experience, while the unique bullet train ambiance created an exciting atmosphere. I highly recommend trying the Dragon Roll, Salmon Philly Roll, and Sashimi at Hikari Sushi and Bar for an unforgettable dining adventure.

My friends and I arrived at the sushi restaurant on a 7 pm on a Wednesday after exploring downtown. There were so many options to choose between Korean soup, Korean bbq, or Benihana!s, but we chose this place because the prices were good, not much of a wait to be seated, and stellar reviews on Yelp. AMBIENCE: The place is welcoming with its bright lights, spacious seating from booths or rows, and it's minimalist decor. The restaurant is innovative with its bullet train to deliver sushi to your table and a robot to bring out larger items like udon or curry. SERVICE: The only time we interacted with our servers was when we were sat down, given our cutlery, and given the check. The ordering process is easy as you have a device mounted above your table to self order in groups of 4. There were so many options for sushi, hand rolls, sashimi, and drinks. The bullet train that deliver your food were speedy and efficient. ORDERS: We ordered so many rolls, so I couldn't keep track of each individual item. Gladly I have a picture of the spread attached! All in all, the food was top notch with great fresh fish, good flavors from their sweet/savory sauces, and filling. RATING: Would come again if I explore Japantown again!

Came here on a Thursday afternoon for lunch, and it was calm and quiet inside. One of the selling points here is the bullet train/conveyor belt that delivers the food to you, so I was super excited for that! The ordering system is all through a tablet which is efficient and convenient. The menu items are organized into tabs, and you can order up to four things max at a time. I got a bento box and a hand roll. The hand roll came through the conveyor belt which was so fun to watch. The bento box was too big for the conveyor belt, so instead it came on a cool robot machine which was equally as fun to watch. Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box - The salmon was a bit salty, but the rice countered it pretty well. However I do wish there was more rice because I had to ration it but still ran out of it pretty quickly. The salad was refreshing with each bite, the california rolls were filling, and the gyoza were crispy though! Salmon Hand Roll - This was my favorite part of the meal. The salmon slices were thick and juicy, and the ratio of the salmon, avocado, and rice was perfect. The seaweed brought everything together with its crispiness. I do think that the bento box was a tad overpriced but I understand that the price is for the experience. Overall I am satisfied!

Such a fun lunch/dinner spot located in Japantown. It adds entertainment to the meal. You order on the kiosk and gets delivered to the table via conveyer belt! You can only order 4 things at a time, but is very easy to order on the touchpad. Prices were a little high but as expected for the experience. I think this place can get busy so try to go on an off time. Highly recommend!
