If you're looking to try conveyor belt sushi, this is the spot. Kura offers a variety of dishes - hot food, small bites, nigiri, roll, gunkan and dessert. With every 5 plates, the tablet device will play a cute animated clip. With every 15 plates, a prize capsule dispenses from the gachapon/gashapon machine. There is also the option to buy a prize capsule if there is a design you specifically want. I did this for the My Hero Academia (Boku no Hīrō Akademia) limited time lanyard. Kura often hosts special promotions for the theme of the prizes (e.g. Lego, Sanrio, anime, etc.), enticing customers to come back for these limited time events.
It can get very busy with long wait times when you come for dinner and during the weekends. I recommended downloading the Kura Sushi app to join the waitlist ahead of time so you're not waiting 40+ minutes with nothing to do. The restaurant offers a loyalty program called the Kura Rewards Club, which allows customers to earn points for each visit and redeem them for free dishes or other rewards. These points are all collected and redeemed using the app.
I love the nigiris. My favorite is definitely the garlic ponzu, but all the options are pretty yummy (check my photos for more recs). The only thing I try to avoid are the rolls. In my opinion, they aren't worth it because they don't taste that good and I'd rather get plates that highlight the freshness of the fish.
I used to come here all the time with friends, and it looks like they recently renovated the entire shop (new seats, tables, black wood instead of the previous dark brown wood). Prices continue to increase which is upsetting. It used to be $2.75 per plate to $3.20 (as of February 2023). This is a good place to come if you aren't too hungry and want a few pieces of sushi or if you just want to experience conveyor belt sushi. Otherwise, I wouldn't come here for the sushi alone, even though the quality is good. For the price point, you are definitely paying for the sushi and experience, so it can be pricier than just ordering sushi at another restaurant.
