CONVEYOR BELT SUSHI FEAST! Kura Revolving Sushi Bar Review

There are many great sushi restaurants in NYC and great sushi restaurants in New Jersey. Everyone knows all about the best omakase in NYC and where to eat Michelin Star Sushi in NYC. However, NYC finally has a new addition to the New York City sushi scene, Japanese conveyor belt sushi. Conveyor belt sushi, also often called rotation sushi or rotating sushi, is one of the most popular fast foods in Japan. Out of all the Japanese conveyor belt sushi restaurants, however, the most popular chain is Kura Rotating Sushi Bar. Technically in New Jersey, Kura Fort Lee location has been a staple for a while, but the Kura Jersey City location is brand new. I couldn't pass up the chance to film a conveyor belt sushi vlog and a conveyor belt sushi mukbang.
When eating at Kura, it often feels like you are eating the best sushi in Japan, and you're eating at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Japan. Everything about the place, such as the machines, the food, and the Japanese robot server, feels very uniquely Japanese. Kura may not be the best conveyor belt sushi in Japan but it is definitely one of the most popular of the conveyor belt sushi chains! For that reason it has made its way to the US and opened multiple locations.
I had a blast trying Japan conveyor belt sushi in this vid, as I feasted on toro sushi, negitoro rolls, taiyaki ice cream, more fatty tuna, beef udon, and all sorts of delectable delicious Japanese foods. This is a video you don't want to miss! It's one of the most fun restaurants in New Jersey and, in terms of enjoyment, I'd consider it one of the best restaurants in New Jersey and one of the best restaurants in New York City!

I have been binge watching UA videos for the last few days. He is cool. Hi from Spain

[@uaeats]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the vids! Bienvenidos!

[@crystalsnow613]

UA needs more subs! Your videos are not only great food reviews but somehow you make me feel like I am there with you and gives me a nostalgic feeling. Like I have been to the place or area you are at before. Keep it up and I just know you will go far 👍

[@uaeats]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes I try to film and edit in a way to make my viewers feel like they are experiencing the restaurants with me. I'm glad I was successful in doing that!

[@BigBuckGetter]

Went there for lunch today...it was a fun experience and really enjoyed the food.

[@scottschram1507]

Love watching the videos from the first one! lots of interesting content from NYC and surrounding communities. Really love the honest and unpretentious summary that you give to each place, although NYC is not a destination of choice it is cool to see the the history and back story. We sure know when you enjoy your food!! which is reason why my wife and I watch you. Keep making great content and have a Great 2023 UA

[@philcodeca]

I’m new to your channel, discovered this week. Fantastic content! This sushi looks great!

[@uaeats]

Thanks! Welcome aboard!

[@JYLee-rr1sy]

Hey UA. We have a Kura here in Brea, California. You can also order sushi and of course dessert from the menu. I like to order from the menu because it comes fresh instead of wondering how long something's been sitting on the conveyer belt. Great vid as always.

[@KingDrewPhilip]

I’m in San Diego and each time I go to this place it’s packed to oblivion and the line to wait is like two hours. So, to avoid that I eat super early now. 5pm and it’s a short wait or sometimes not even a wait at all. I like this place. I frequently go to indulge on sushi.

[@jadeethan]

Totally underrated channel. Love it straight to the point reviews.

[@jeffs.4313]

Well done UA. I really enjoyed your review. Your commentary and reactions were great. Looking forward to your next review.

[@uaeats]

So IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS FOR Kura to open here Naperville Illinois, they're open and I'm going asap, your video helped me SO MUCH, I was clueless how it worked and after your review I'm ready and Hungry!!! Thank you

[@Sirmackerel]

I like the energy!

Thanks U.A. As usual, an enjoyable video. The Eel looked really tasty! Cheers!

[@uaeats]

Thanks! Yes the eel was very good!

[@CN-qk8is]

I’m Japanese and I really enjoyed watching how KURA in the U.S. is like! I love Yellow Tail and Tamago too. Have you ever tried Sea Bream? I’m not sure American Kura has it , but it’s so good. Thank you for a wonderful video☺️

[@eugenekillian8807]

I so have to do this when I’m back in NJ. Thanks UA!

Glad I was of service!

[@uaeats]

Thank you! I'd love to visit Texas for vids someday!

[@theatkinson4558]

oh, that looks really cool. definitely will do this next time in the area

[@uaeats]

Give it a try!

[@sheriffjohnson589]

Thank you for this one. I lived in Jersey City for a long time and just recently moved to North Carolina. I can't wait to try it when I come back up next month.

[@uaeats]

Just keep in mind wait times can be quite long. If you use the Kura app though you can save a spot in line remotely

[@jhfit]

Another fun video👍

[@uaeats]

Thanks!

Ua keep up the good work!!! The videos are a great thing! You should go to all the major cities and review the restaurants!!!! Chicago beef is the real deal just like you said!!!

Honest review, love UA

[@jman1234533]

Also went to that location 2 weeks ago. Really good.

Yes it's a great time! The restaurant is a bit small though

very good reviews mate....

[@imnotchikao6317]

I’ve been addicted to unagi. It’s so good.

[@uaeats]

I especially love unagi bowls!

[@2Wheels_NYC]

So cool and fun!! I'm like you... Love my salmon. When I lived in England, we had a place called "YO! Sushi" and it was the same concept. They used different colored plates / bowls, and that determined the cost of each. Always had an excellent time there! Now you're gonna make me go to Jersey😂

[@uaeats]

Yeah most conveyor belt sushi places charge different prices for different items so it's interesting Kura just does a flat price for everything. Even their toro pieces! This chain is expanding very rapidly. Maybe they'll open one near you someday!

[@Ksaysme]

Keep going UA. Great content and great positive vibe. Good quality content, similar to Mikey Chen in that way and you're starting to pop up on people's recommended now too. Keep pushing and you'll be hitting a million subs within the year 👍🏼

[@uaeats]

Thanks for the kind words! I am a fan of Mikey Chen's content so comparing me to him is a great compliment. I'm gonna keep doing my best and we'll see where this channel winds up in 2023!

[@fatboy2338]

Really enjoy your vids your facial expression of enjoyment trumps Mr Wiens for sure (he puts it on a bit i think) please keep posting👍🙂

I’ve been to the ones in Dallas and Houston.

[@soldanovht]

The coolest place ever. Why didn't i think of that. lol

[@uaeats]

You can always try it!

[@tested123]

that beef and noodle soup looked really good. sushi up here in canada is like fast food with all kinds of sauces and ingredients. i cant eat it anymore

[@patrickwong4824]

Some truth to that. Still, be selective of the restaurant and I almost only order sashimi.

[@uaeats]

The udon was good! That's unfortunate that there aren't good sushi places by you. What part of Canada are you based in?

The Adidas hat is awesome UA!!

Thank you! I'll pour one out for the old one though...

[@damnimloomin]

I love cream cheese in sushi lol

[@seipeele3437]

I usually go to Kura in Fort Lee, NJ. Good service, but I noticed the portions got a little smaller. I look forward to trying the jersey city location. Jersey City also has Ani Ramen with a hidden sushi restaurant in it. Sushi by bou. Could be cool for the channel.

[@uaeats]

I've actually shown Sushi by Bou on this channel before! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4ubeGSYpbKsmKM

[@Pokehon]

Wish I would of seen this prior a couple things I wanted to try after seeing this that I didn't.

[@alainlalonde]

That looks amazing UA! I just gotta disagree on the octopus. I used to swear by it. But, as you said. To each their own. Great video! Once again! :P

[@uaeats]

Yes to each their own of course! I can see people enjoying the chewiness of it, sorta like edible bubble gum. My opinions are always my own and I won't push them on other people

[@Louverture14]

Good stuff! Did they have the chawanmushi at that location? That was always my favorite thing to start with at kaiten places. It's interesting to me that they had the constant conveyor belt because last I was in Japan I noticed the various chains were cutting back a lot on having sushi just parading around the belt and instead tended to focus on special ordering everything.

[@uaeats]

Ah they don't have that unfortunately. Interesting that Japan is shifting away from fully stocked conveyor belt sushi going around the restaurant and shifting more to the special ordering system. That's a bummer because the parading sushi makes it so much more fun!

[@michaelmalone7789]

Been so curious about this place since it's opened, but the wait times & not knowing how it actually works has prevented me from going. Will definitely be trying this soon!

[@uaeats]

If you download their app you can add yourself to the wait list remotely. Though just a heads up they turn off that feature sometimes when they are very busy

[@michaelmalone7789]

Great video!! Kura Sushi is basically the same in Japan. Just the prices are different. Most plates in Japan are $1.

[@uaeats]

Wow $1? Time to book a flight to Tokyo!

[@cmaschio]

​@@uaeats You should! The $US is strong at the moment, and there are plenty of very good, affordable restaurants in Tokyo.

There's a Kura Sushi a little over an hour from where I live - I'm hitting it *__*

It's fun to get a small toy after all that sushi 🍣

[@uaeats]

A 50 cent toy in exchange for eating $55.50 worth of food... I'll take it!

[@MrWhiterunGuard]

I kinda prefer Sushiro to Kura, the fish at Sushiro just seems more fresh. The overall quality at Sushiro seems to be a notch above Kura. Plus overall its cheaper if you get the same stuff.

[@serkiat1]

I just had kurasushi here in Japan - JPY115 per plate 😂

[@danielflores9014]

Hey UA were you full after eating there. If you didn't order the Raman, could you be full just eating the sushi there on a $25, budget

[@thomaspaxton935]

Enjoyed your channel doesn't seem inexpensive to me ...Can get the plates for half the price in Japan

[@danielflores9014]

How was the experience and would you recommended it for the price

[@uaeats]

I think it's worth going once in a while for the experience and the food is also overall solid. It is a tad expensive but probably in line with normal sushi prices. Just remember to pace yourself as it's easy to have so much fun grabbing plates you end up overeating (and also overpaying).

[@danielflores9014]

I will try it out because it's the sushi you will get from Japan but the typical ones were you try from the all you can eat sushi buffets

[@sfguy_2k22]

if we grab a plate off the conveyor, and then decide that u changed ur mind, can u put the plate back on the belt for someone else to eat?

[@restaurantman]

The plates contain embedded RFID tags for tracking. Don’t touch plates on the conveyor belt unless you intend to take them. Additionally, don’t put plates back onto the conveyor belt.

[@MKRCinema]

Hot water? That's a first

[@phyush355]

In NYC just make it to order icky compatible Sushi sounds like it's been on there too long long

[@rj-vj8gr]

kinda hard to get go sushi, if a person doesn't live close to the water.

[@yeabuddy6070]

These are fun places to go to but can get pricey quick. On top of that, there are so many ACE sushi places for under 30 bucks so ACE is a better a deal.

[@uaeats]

True I do love me a good AYCE sushi spot! You are right that it's easy to get carried away and overeat and overpay.

[@loudlament1657]

I enjoyed your video. I would hope I would get a prize after spending $55.50 on sushi haha.

[@jmason61]

Totally. For that $ I'd rather get to-go giant sushi platter & enjoy it at home without the gimmick

[@bobross5213]

Hey UA what’s your favorite sushi that you ate now?

[@edreid7872]

3.70?..That seems kinda pricey as I can easily polish off 20 plates, which would cost 75 bucks...get me to the nearest buffet with a sushi bar..

[@uaeats]

Keep in mind that each plate actually has two pieces (except the toro plate). So 20 plates would be about 40 pieces of sushi. If you can do that hey my hat's off to you!

[@edreid7872]

No problem... I love sushi..I tired this experience in SF...it was fun, but tricky..its not fun if you're on a budget... Figuring out how much I have amass kinda ruined it for me..definitely fun to try once, but bottom dollar, its a buffet..

[@dangerzone9747]

The fish to rice ratio needs improvement.

[@samuelreddy7816]

Uhm, I tried Kura Sushi in Phoenix, Arizona: the food was nothing special and it was more expensive than other options with comparable quality. It was noticeably clean. My conclusion was that the technology they use was cool, but I don't need to go back there again.

[@futureskeletons66669]

"Not just another menu on the item..."

[@Lawomenshoops]

You don’t use wasabi or ginger with your sushi?

[@uaeats]

I used wasabi, I just forgot to include the clip of me mixing it into soy sauce. I ate tons of pickled ginger off camera

[@jessenguyen9894]

Got this place in the Bay Area Cali where I’m from it’s ok but to get full you end up ordering over 10 plates that adds up to being to expensive for this over hype spot

[@laurengriffin2225]

The sushi slices are a bit thin.

[@thelastbison2241]

$3.75 is kind of expensive. A buffet is under $40.

[@uaeats]

Keep in mind that each plate has two pieces, except for the toro plate. Also maki rolls have about six pieces. That being said I agree it's not that cheap
