In mid-January Kura Revolving Sushi Bar opened its first Ohio location, simply exterior Polaris Style Place in Columbus! The Japanese chain first opened in 1977 and now boasts greater than 500 places internationally.
The Columbus retailer has been immensely well-liked because it opened, with typical wait occasions round dinner topping 2-3 hours at occasions.
We visited the Pittsburgh location of Kura final fall and had a enjoyable time with it. Friends register at a small pc on the entrance door, the place they’re given an estimated wait time.
From what we’ve seen of two places, Kura’s areas are designed fairly equally, with rows of cubicles tightly packed collectively. The cubicles seat as much as 4 folks, and every one is fed by a collection of conveyor belts that loop across the restaurant. A crew of cooks works furiously within the again making sushi and plating it.
Kura’s gimmick is that sushi is delivered desk facet by a endless conveyor belt.
The plates roll by in pairs, with little indicators asserting every one. For those who’re inquisitive about one, simply pop the plate out of the little lined holder and revel in!
If it’s your first time, the server will stroll you thru the method of pricing, how one can correctly snag plates, and how one can order drinks, desserts, and different dishes by the display screen above your desk.
On the Columbus location, all sushi plates on the conveyor belt are $3.40. Every one comprises 2-3 items, relying on the dimensions. It might probably add up shortly, particularly in the event you’re with a gaggle (or have hungry teenagers like us!).
If you’re executed with every plate, you slide it right into a slot beneath the conveyor belt, and it’s counted towards your complete on the display screen.
For an added little bit of enjoyable, drinks are delivered by robotic! They scoot across the area taking part in music and making little bulletins.
The display screen above your desk options enjoyable animations and dispenses toys if you hit a sure variety of plates.
You can too use it to order a particular sort of sushi or extras like dumplings, ramen, and extra. We wished to attempt some dumplings and fried hen.
And on prime of all of the sushi coming by, you’ll discover desserts like custard tarts and even slices of cheesecake.
Kura generally is a little overwhelming and overstimulating, but it surely’s actually a enjoyable expertise, particularly with a gaggle. Simply count on the longer wait occasions, notably round dinner and on weekends! It’d be good to test in early, then go hit the mall, seize a drink someplace, and wait to your desk to open up.
