So we loved the now closed DC Union Station Yo! Sushi, a conveyor belt restaurant chain based in the UK so much that we pilgrimaged to NJ to go to the one there but it was not as impressive and seemingly more expensive. We also love Kula in California which is $2.25 for every plate, and as good or even better variety. Well we went to the Torrance location yesterday with Maximillian and were blown away at the remodel.
Let me try to explain the picture, normal sushi conveyor belt but the plate covers pop up out of the way when you pull on the plate. When you are done you put the plate in a slot at your table which adds it up on the iPad/tablet. If you put in 5 plates an ongoing story line plays as a cartoon. If you put in 15, you get a surprise toy dispensed from the machine up above (which Curie loved – Elia was asleep). But ostensibly the coolest part was the second high speed conveyor belt between the normal one and the tablet. You order on the tablet, and the food shows up next to your table, we had to order things just to have them zip up to the table. Julie and Steve, this is by far our favorite seafood restaurant now.
