Sushi Plus is one of our favorite spots for date night. We've been going to the location in Chinatown for years, but when we moved out to the suburbs, we were so glad that we could continue having sushi date nights at Sushi Plus. (Plus, our little stamp cards could still be used.)
There are no reservations so if you plan on coming at a peak time, be prepared to wait. The times that we've dined here are "early dinner" times. We'll try to get here before 6pm, otherwise the place fills quickly and you could be waiting 30 minutes to 1+ hours especially on a weekend. If you call ahead to ask, they can provide an estimate for the current wait time.
The process: sushi and other items (seaweed salad, hand rolls, nigiri, edamame, dessert) circulate on a conveyor belt, if you see something, you'll slide open the clear doors to the conveyor belt and take your plate. The plates are colored and expected to stack in a pile off to the sides of your table. The waiter will tally your total the end of your meal.
There is a tablet at each table where you can order drinks, appetizers, sushi, miso soup, ramen, karaage, and other items from the kitchen. These items, save for the ramen and soup things that can spill, arrive on semi truck carrier that follows a track to- and from the kitchen and is programmed to arrive tableside. Your server will bring drinks, soups, and other items as needed/requested.
The sushi and experience here is not the quality of an omakase experience, and it's not meant to be! It's casual, it's fun, and we love coming here for a date night to take a break from our routine. It's an entertaining place too; at the entrance there are several claw machines with cute stuffies that are rotated out once in a while. You can purchase tokens at the check-in desk. And I'm just making the connection now; the after a date night here, I feel the way I might feel after going to a carnival or state fair. Sated, entertained, and full of nostalgia.
