First off, let me apologize. When I write reviews, I typically try to take pictures of each item and share my experience. That lasted for about two minutes at Sushi Zone before I completely forgot.
We arrived on a weekday, right at opening. Although the staff was busy prepping cake/ginger/wasabi/etc, presumably for to-go orders, we were greeted with a smile and offered a booth near the kitchen.
Our server asked if we wanted to order from the menu. Neither my wife nor I had been to conveyor sushi in the better part of two decades, so our plan was to mostly grab what looked good but it was still empty as they had just opened. We ordered the calamari roll and tuna sashimi to get started.
The calamari roll came up first and, surprisingly, was the most bland thing we ate. I can't recall anything about it and therefore I'd pass next time. The tuna sashimi was rich, tender, and luxurious. A side of chili for dipping was provided and helped make it even more interesting. While I don't normally eat a lot of sashimi, I'd try this again.
And then the conveyor belts started to populate. Cold on top, heated on bottom, and dangerous all the way through. We immediately snagged a slice of mocha cake because they showed sold out when I checked the night before and I knew I'd want some. Fried cheese wontons quickly found their way into my mouth. Simple but indulgent and delicious.
Oh look, chicken katsu! I wasn't expecting that. Yes please! About ten seconds later, some sauce was brought to go with it - nice. Not the best katsu I've ever had but definitely decent and, especially if we came back with the kids, I'd grab it again.
From there, things were a blur. I'm sure we grabbed a California roll. Then we had... uh, I have no idea what else. By the time we were done, there was a beautiful multicolored stack of plates and two very happy, very full adults. Oh, shrimp shumai! We totally had some of that and loved it. I've usually had shumai at Dim Sum but this was served in a broth. I should have tried drinking it, but again - food blur.
What I do remember is that both of us smiled a lot. Our only real disappointment was that when we had room for just one roll, the last UW roll got snagged from the belt before it reached us. Next time, right? $65 for two, who are well but weren't injured during the meal like we usually do at sushi.
