Conveyer Belt Sushi

A few years ago, conveyer belt sushi became very popular in Korea.  Instead of ordering, small tapas like plates of sushi are placed on a conveyer belt.  Each person grabs what they want to eat.  At the end of the meal, the plates are tallied and paid for.  These restaurants are common in Seoul located everywhere from business districts to trendy shopping districts.  My family and I had lunch at the one at Shinsegae Department Store.  The sushi isn’t spectacular, but good enough and reasonably priced.  We ate our hearts out and until our shirts were snug.

I’ve never been to a conveyer belt sushi restaurant outside of Korea.  Does anyone have a favorite place or one they frequent?

  1. I think these are called “kaiten sushi” :) My friends and I go here when we want sushi at a low-key, non-expensive place…then we walk around the rest of the floor looking for dessert!
