Kaiten Sushi is absolutely worth the hype! The sushi is incredibly fresh, and the variety of options is impressive—there’s something for everyone. While it’s slightly on the pricier side, the quality and experience make it worth every penny. The only downside is the long queue, but they manage it well with a ticket system. For our group of four, we waited about 40 minutes, so I’d recommend arriving early to secure your spot. Despite the wait, the meal was fantastic, and I’d gladly go back for more. Highly recommend for sushi lovers!

Personally,I think it’s more of a touristic place and trap for some reasons :1)Food:Some sushi were great;some was just normal. And Japan is known for their fish meals. Therefore, one place can not be the only place to find and wait for good food even in an area.
2)It’s not well arranged .The waiting time that they told us including many others was 1 hour. But how do you know when your time is ready? Since there’s not a lot of place to sit and wait for your time,you might decide to go and walk around. And they are not loud,so when numbers are even called it’s only called with the person being inside and won’t even come outside. You just have the responsibility to keep checking the small display machine with the numbers by the counter near the exit/entrance.
When you walk around and come back and your number is already pass,let’s say 100 numbers more,you can enter and show them your waiting receipt. And they are kind enough to let you wait a little bit and then find a place for you to sit, but that means that the others that are their  time is already approaching will have to wait more time.
3)Price:It can be affordable depending on what you want to order but If not careful,you can end up spending lots of money because of how the electric menu is made;though you can order 4 things all at once,the prices are just for 1 sushi and  1sushi won’t fill you up nor is the 1sushi cheap.
4)The rice itself isn’t white rice but it’s already marinated in either soy sauce or something and if you order wasabi,it’s not send to you but put inside your sushi(you might feel it or not) .

Apart from the above reasons
The restaurant and the meal served ,though not cheap, is not bad for number of reasons
1)On the table,you have free hot water tap and a cold water brought to you. You have also a big box of pickled ginger and matcha tea and all your utensils for eating
2)Service and staff—Service was fast and Staff were friendly but not all.
To order,you use the tablet on your table(it’s also in English). Once you figure out how it works;it’s easy to place orders. And when you are done eating,using the tablet,you can end your meal course to pay and then the lists of everything you ordered will appear in English for you to check . Once you are happy,then you head to the the counter near the exit to pay and the receipt will be given you that’s written all in Japanese.

FYI-you have 70mins to stay and eat during the peak hours. That’s an ample time to eat, considering the number of people that wants to use this restaurant.
2)There’s toilet for male and female-1 per each.
3)You can pay with card.

Suggestion for customers:Don’t focus just on the sushi menu,check out the side dishes too:different food and reasonable prices too.

Conclusion: It was an experience and we enjoyed our time here and what we ate and the service plus the older chef charismatic manner. Will I be comfortable repeating it again?Not really especially if I’m asked to wait for 1 hour.

This sushi place is super popular thanks to social media. I happened to be in the area alone and decided to give it a try, hoping that dining solo would get me a seat faster—and I was right! I managed to get seated within 5 minutes.

The sushi is pretty good, and you can order from a tablet in front of you in English. They also have a list of popular items of the day, so you don’t have to worry about what to order. It’s definitely a busy and touristy spot, but overall, a good experience!

This was our first stop as soon as we arrived in Tokyo! It was a great first restaurant experience in Japan. Sushi was so fresh and delicious. We arrived on a Sunday evening around 7pm and waited just about 5 min. The restaurant was lively and energetic with friendly staff. We wanted to experience conveyor belt sushi but this was misleading because the conveyor belt was not actually on. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend!

The food was good,not too pricy if you are not super hungry. 狮鱼set and steam egg were amazing！
