This place is the original revolving sushi bar in Cleveland, inspired by regional Japanese conveyor belt sushi, and it absolutely delivers. There are tons of options rotating by at all times, so you can dive in right away with little to no wait. And if you want something specific, just special-order it — a robot will literally bring it right to your table. So fun! The service is consistently quick, and the sushi itself is always fresh and flavorful. We love their classic rolls like the Ohio Roll and Spicy Girl Roll, but they also keep things exciting with creative items like sushi sandwiches and sushi tacos. They’re always coming up with something new. Pricing works differently here than most places: each plate color has its own price, so veggie rolls tend to be cheaper while raw options are a bit higher. It’s super easy to keep track as you go. And definitely save room for taiyaki — a warm, fish-shaped Japanese cake traditionally filled with sweet red bean paste. It’s the perfect sweet finish. All in all, this spot impresses us every single time. Great food, fast service, and such a unique experience — one of our absolute favorites in Cleveland.

No notes. Every bite was perfect. The girls who served us were genuinely so sweet and happy and even gave my boyfriend and me free dessert at the end which was such a nice surprise. This is officially my new favorite sushi spot. The sushi was amazing, the pork buns were insane, even my boyfriend (who isn’t a fish fan) absolutely loved this place he had the best time he got the udon and said it was perfect. He even tried the butterfly shrimp and loved it :) I found this place on TikTok and it fully exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely be back

This is a unique place to get sushi. The conveyor rotates around the room and you grab a dish that looks good to you as it passes by or you can order a special plate and they will have a train that brings it to your table. The sushi is decent, not super high quality but better than gas station sushi. Pricing is fair, you pay by the plate. Each color plate has a specific price for it. Overall it’s a fun place, I will go back and I think it is worth checking out!
