Zubora Sushi — Restaurant in Iwakuni

$$$ Yes its a bit expensive but worth a try if youre already tired of conveyor type sushi. Located close to the Iwakuni Train Station just beside the Osaka Yakitori (which is also good, I made a separate review for this), quite easy to find.

Payment: Cash, Credit Card (they accept major credit cards)

Price: the photo attached here with costs us 1,000 yen.

Waiting Time: sushi are made with fresh fish and sea stuffs, if they run out of it and means its done. 1 platter (see pic attached) took 15ish minutes to be prepared coz the restaurant is almost full. Good thing we ordered skewers which is tasty too!

Reservation: i dont actually know if they take up reservation, but when we came here around 6:30ish seats (Table type for 4 people) are almost full but they have a few seats available on the counter which I recommend! Coz you get to see the display of fresh meat and how they make your sushi fresh and clean and fast.

Language: they have an english menu available.

Staff: i could say...

Make sure to preorder a dinner set if you plan on ordering one. We didn't find this spot till last second so we didn't have the opportunity to try their dinner set(s).

They have an English menu if needed. The fish and veggies are superbly fresh and I'd have to say it's hard to say finding a spot like this in LA is almost impossible. Not for the types looking for Americanized sushi rolls, but a must spot if you're into non watered down Japanese food. Nice and cozy, hole in the wall spot.

The two of us walked out full and content with a tiny bill of $52. Can't beat that. Definitely...

Authentic sushi with a very nice staff who speaks a bit of english. We chat with the sushi chef in Japanese a bit and he suggested a few off the menu items and they were absolutely delicoous. The quality of the rice and the cuts of different fish was fresh and the shoyu/soy sauce went great together with hints of wasabi. Definitely pricier than your average conveyor belt sushi however definitely worth it. Just be careful not to over endulge yourself or else your bill...
