Kura Revolving Sushi Bar

Sushi places are becoming extra and I love it. We were visiting Galaxy con and wanted to try something new and exciting. We found Kura on a Instagram post and immediately made it a goal to try it. We got there and it was packed. It was about a 90 minute wait but since we already drove to the location we touched it out.Once we were seated, the waiter got our drink order and it was delivered by a cute robot with facial expressions. The revolving sushi belt has so many options we weren't sure what to try first. Everything I had was amazing and tasted fresh. What's really nice is if you want a specific item, you can requested on the computer screen on the table and they bring it to you on another conveyor belt.Each plate is a smaller portion so it was a little bit cheaper than a typical plate of sushi. Each portion was $3.50 but be careful because it can add up fast. Kura was a great addition to our trip. Hopefully they open a location in my hometown.

1. The service was amazing!! This has nothing to do with the friendly and helpful staff. 2. The quality of sushi was.. not good. Maybe it was just me or a bad day but everything just tasted.. gross. I'm sorry! The seaweed was impossible to bite through. 3. The revolving part.. is cool in theory but when you are sitting at the last seat before the belt goes into the kitchen, there is never any sushi on the belt so you'll have to order it (and it will come on another belt). Since this was my situation, I had to order all my sushi (no big deal really) but I was looking forward to taking it right off the belt with the other sushi plates.

Server and host were super nice, so I have to give credit where credit is due. The heated toilet seat was also quite pleasant.Wish I could say the same about the food.I came with a group of five.Pros: we spent a total of $125 including a 20% tip for all 5 of us. The soy donuts with ice cream dessert was quite good.Cons: this was the sloppiest, nastiest sushi I've ever had. And most of ours came from the kitchen because there was hardly any on the conveyor belt, even during dinner time on a Wednesday. Their food is not made with care. The fish didn't taste or smell fresh. From the rolls to the nigiri to the sashimi (and the sides), the food was disappointing. I love the concept and I'm sure the locations in Japan are miles better. This was just below average and I wouldn't go back to eat sushi.

For sushi lovers this is a very fun place! Drinks were served on a robot and a wide variety of sushi dishes on an endless conveyor belt.

What a fun and exciting restaurant! The food quality is good, affordable, and there are a ton of options. Every 15th plate you get a free keychain and a cute video plays from the contraption above the table, which was really cute and fun. Robots bring your drinks and you order from a screen so it feels very futuristic!

So I probably never would have gone to this place if not for my kids because we don't have a Kura where we live. We were first coerced by my daughter to drive to Pittsburgh (from Cleveland) just to have lunch at Kura. This time, they attended an Anime con in Columbus and there's apparently another Kura there! So guess what's for dinner?I will say it's a pretty cool place. The tables are arranged in such a way that all are along the path of a conveyer belt from the kitchen where your food will automatically arrive tableside. You can order from a tablet on your table, or via your mobile phone. Drinks sometimes arrive via a robot that zips around the dining floor. Even I got a kick out of that!There's a variety of small plates, including sushi, that come around automatically on the conveyer belt. If something catches your fancy, you simply grab the plate. If there's something you want that you don't see on the belt, you simply order it and it will arrive at your table on the upper belt. I wouldn't say the food is great, but it's pretty decent. The pricing is artificially attractive because it's $4 a plate, but they're pretty small portions. So by the time your kids (and you yourself) grab 5-6 plates before you get your fill, you're looking at $25-$30 per person!!!Your table also gets a prize for every 15 plates you order. A small toy (usually Anime themed) will automatically drop from the toy dispenser at your table. Of course, this was a major draw for my kids as they got OnePiece toys this visit.Overall, I think their "gimmicks" are more of a draw than the food itself. Not a bad thing because we enjoyed the experience, but I wish I got more for the food.

What's cool here is the novelty of the revolving sushi train and the on-demand screen ordering. Otherwise the food and service is mediocre + it's expensive. You should definitely check it out--it's fun--drinks are even served by a robot, but if you're looking for high quality sushi in the area I'd check out Sushi En or the Sushi Factory in Polaris.

I know we have food snobs in town, so I'll start with this:Yes, I am SURE that your favorite sushi place does it better.Happy? Okay.I've been here once so far, and I want to come back. In terms of service, after being sat (and it being the first time) a guy stopped by and explained the process. As an American White Dude™ it feels very Japanese, in the whole "music playing, bright colors, anime on the wall." Which I dig, because I'm also a nerd that loves this shit.** How busy are they? **I've heard the stories - hour upon hour waits on the weekend/evenings. DOWNLOAD THE APP - it has live wait times and you can join the waitlist via the app! I didn't do this, because I had a meeting at 12:30, so I got there at 11am to be the first person in - literally one other car rolled in at that time, and by the time I left at noon - the wait was three minutes and it was still fairly empty).** How to survive your experience: **1. See a plate you want? Lift the plate and the lid will open and you pull it out. Each plate is $3.95 (I think? Less than $4 at lunch when I went).2. Done eating? Slide the plate into the receiver.3. Drinks are ordered via touch screen/app and delivered via robot.4. Since the robot is not 21, a person has to bring alcohol.5. Do not put the bowls/other dishes/trash into the slot.They have a menu above you that has other dishes (think teriyaki chicken, nigiri, salads, soups or if you want a particular dish that the conveyor keeps reaching you empty - you can order it).Every 15 plates inserted, you get a "prize" (and every five plates, it plays a little video clip).So the umami oil/garlic dishes were my favorite - SO GOOD. But I didn't have a bad taste out of everything (note: I do not eat crab/octopus/squid, crab because, gross, octopus/squid because they're the cats of the sea, so I'm eating one less thing get off my back I don't care if you eat it geeze)They have something for everyone. DOWNLOAD THE APP. Get points. Get discounts. And then you can join the waitlist and not ponder wait times!It's worth going once for the experience, but it's good enough (and enough variety) that it's worth coming back again!

Food is amazing! Staff is always friendly and helpful. Kids love to put the plates away to watch the total go up so they can watch the story on the screen. Ordering from the screen is easy and the order comes out fast. Would definitely recommend for anyone who loves sushi.

Sushi was good but the selection was very limited. Fun ambience with the conveyor belt and ordering fresh pieces and fried options. On average for two people we spend $65 for a sushi dinner out and this came in right at the same spot since the small plates would come with only 3 or so pieces of sushi instead of a full roll.
