Sushi. Robots. Prizes. Kura Sushi has it all.
Driving the news: The West Coast import and the Indianapolis area's first revolving sushi restaurant opened last month in Fishers.
How it works: A long conveyor belt winds throughout the restaurant, carrying small plates of food and passing by each table.
- Diners open clear plastic pods as they pass by to pluck out dishes with, usually, two or three pieces of nigiri or rolled sushi.
- Empty plates are discarded through a slot at each table, counting the number of dishes for your final bill.
- Each small plate is $3.75.
Plus: Each booth has a screen where you can order special items like ramen — delivered on a separate, high-speed conveyor belt — and drinks that, if you're lucky, get delivered by the cutest little robot you've ever seen.
- Yes, but: Sometimes, like in our case, a human server brings those. Womp.
Arika's thought bubble: I knew I'd love the concept — c'mon, so fun — but I was a little skeptical about how good the sushi would be.
- Happy to report that any concerns were quickly dispelled. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared.
- It's a particularly fun way to try new things. Since everything is served on small plates, you don't have to worry about ordering an entire roll of something you won't like.
Fun fact: If you get to 15 plates, a small prize will be dispensed to your table.
- We "won" a shrimp tempura ramen keychain.
