sushi train

Rotating plate service

A sushi train is a restaurant where small plates of sushi and other dishes travel on a conveyor belt past diners, who select whatever appeals to them.

Also called a conveyor belt sushi restaurant or by the Japanese term kaiten-zushi, the format originated in Japan in the 1950s and has since spread worldwide.

Pricing is typically determined by plate color or pattern.
