We were lucky the quality of the sushi was alright when we went. However, service sucked. The waiter dodged us a few times when we asked for the receipt. Also, this place up charges like crazy. Not worth €5 for 2 slices of rolls per plate. We spent €60 between two people. Not worth it.

If I could give no stars I would 
They should call this place rolls of rice as fish in their rolls was barely there 
Service was equally bad 
Skip this and go somewhere else

Very disappointed by the quality, you can buy the same quality of sushi in Waitrose. We ended up ordering four dishes and went to somewhere else to fill the stomach.

Best sushi in a long time! 
The staff was very nice and helpful. Affordable prices, easy to share the plates if, like us, you're a company of two or more. Varied range of dishes, both meat and vegetarian and everything was done fresh in the middle of the conveyor belt.

0 for 2 today in soho. Not sure how this place rates so highly but the quality was clearly lacking. Green tea was fine. That's really the only positive thing I have to say. There was a hair in the wasabi container, items were left on conveyor for way too long, overall quality was trash. 

Go elsewhere if you want good sushi.

Really disappointed and feeling unsatisfied. Kulu Kulu was once my go-to sushi restaurant, if I wanted something quick and easy, no nonsense Japanese food, Kulu Kulu was it. I really like the whole conveyor belt idea, the quick served up ramen, and the noodle soup. The restaurant it self is small and I find it cosy, you watch the chef as he prepares the dishes. It reminded me a little bit of Tokyo. However tonight, I notice the menu had changed slightly and not for the better. Portions seems slight bigger and there were less seafood choices.
Smoked salmon was served on with some of the rolls, and what made me clinch my fist and bite my bottom lip was that, salmon still had its trimmings. There is NO EXCUSE. If you run a Japanese sushi restaurant, the chefs needs to know how to cut salmon for sushi.  The rest of the dishes were just as botched up. Sushi rolls looked different shapes and sizes, no uniformity to sashimi slices, and where are all the lovely waitresses that use to work here? Presentation is loss. Taste wise very average, but my appetite had already gone after this point. 

Its really a shame, I once use to eat here fortnightly, but tonight might be my last.

Sadly I never had the opportunity to visit Kulu Kulu back when it used to be awesome at least according to the reviews taped on the inside of the shop window, but I am sure those days are gone!

I love sushi bars with conveyor belts but this one is a little too small and claustrophobic for my taste when packed by a few costumer so ordering take away is the only valid choice at this kulu kulu if you ask me. Also when the weather Gods allow it why not when the Golden Squares is just a few steps away!

The take away menu is quite adequate but it is always a plus when you can mix and match according to your own preference; my sister cannot live without Edamame!! The Sushi sizes are generous and the fish is fairly fresh. The fish fillet on the Nigiris I ordered were nicely cut but the rice could have been boiled a little longer, packed a little lighter and with a more noticeable vinegar taste. The Unagi (eel) and Tako (squid) were the ones I enjoyed the most but this is not a memorable place or sushi to be honest!  It is not bad but no way near what those decade old reviews promises! Honestly I feel Kulu Kulu becomes first and only a good bang for the buck when ordered to go! Eating inside will add nothing to the experience other than a much and to me unjustified larger hole in your wallet!

Being in London for a year now, you learn that the Picadilly Circus/Soho/Chinatown area is where you go for a good hole in the wall Ramen/Sushi/Don fix. After doing a little suit shopping for a new job on Regent Street, my heart set itself on a small snack of ramen.

I've walked past this place a couple of times and saw that it was relatively busy. I've even gone in once where I thought that it's just a conveyor belt sushi place. This time round, I was determined to give this place a go. 

You walk in, and you're greeted by non-Japanese people. While I'm totally for diversity in a business, it gets increasingly scary when you notice the sushi chefs, the wait staff and all but the manager of this place are not Japanese. A Japanese place not run by Japanese people!? Hmm... Ok... Maybe it's still worth a shot. BUT proceed with caution is what Lumach (my new nickname for my stomach) said. 

Ordered a tempura soba soup bowl, and an agadeshi tofu. The agadeshi tofu was freshly fried but the batter was not crispy brown. The tempura soba bowl was just lukewarm and the tempura, while also freshly fried was also done too quickly to produce any color or good taste. 

The only saving grace of this place was that the tempura soba bowl was £3.10, and the agadeshi tofu £1.50. CHEAP. But you get what you pay for... The soba bowl was a medium size in japan, at best. I'd honestly rather walk down the street to Taro and get me a proper meal... but if you're looking for a snack sized portion, I guess this would suffice. 

As with all my reviews: Will I go back? Probably not, not when there are tons other places in the area that I like better.

I have to admit I didn't get a chance to eat the sushi... I just drank tea actually.  I was on a business trip and was so hungry on my train ride that I ate before meeting up with a friend for dinner.  So this review is for the space.

HOW IT WORKS: you are seated along a convertible belt that the sushi travels along.  Pick up any place you want.  You can also special order items.

HOW YOU PAY: each sushi plate is on a different color coded plate.  They add up the total at the end.

The fun part of watching the convertible belt was pretty neat. I've only seen it a few times before.  We arrived before the mass crowd, there was easily a 30 min wait when we left.  Not ideal for large groups because you can't talk to each other as you are seated side by side.
