TLDR; it's fun and tasty! Served several hits of dopamine, which was needed after a long week.
My partner has been talking about wanting to try conveyor belt sushi for some time. I was less than enthused, but as soon as I saw there was a spot in Berkeley, I knew where to take them on a date.
We arrived Saturday night, round 7pm, as a party of two. We saw a big group waiting outside, so I braced myself for a 40-60 min wait. We were greeted at the door and added our names to the tablet sign-in. We were quoted a 40 min wait, but a staff person walked by saying the wait would likely be less, which was music to my ears. We were shown the waiting area, past some tables and a couple robot waiters. We waited maybe 5 minutes. It was amazing. We sat on the left side of the restaurant, and it was great.
We enjoyed about 17 plates (had to get to 15 to see what would happen, lol) and really enjoyed the experience. We committed to the experience while managing our expectations around the sushi. Is the best sushi? No. Is it tasty, yes. We also got a few non-sushi items, like the takoyaki and the warabimochi.
For two people and tip, we spent about $90, which is a nice treat. We couldn't do the full experience often, AND I am sure we will be back at some point. I think this would be a fun place to take a kiddo, but I caveat that with saying I don't have kiddos.
