Uobei Shibuya Dogenzaka Store — Restaurant in Tokyo

Japanese Precision: Conveyor Belt Sushi – Where Technology Meets Taste ​In Tokyo, even the fastest culinary experiences are a lesson in innovation and efficiency. After the traditional Sukiyaki meal, it was time for a taste of Japan's modern, fascinating side: a local Kaiten Sushi (Conveyor Belt Sushi) restaurant. ​The Ordering Process: A Personal Touchscreen ​Unlike many sushi restaurants around the world, here, the ordering process is part of the fun. Instead of flagging down a waiter, every station is equipped with a smart touchscreen tablet. You scroll through dozens of options (a massive variety of nigiri, rolls, and even side dishes), tap the picture, and your order is on its way. ​The efficiency is stunning: there's no waiting, no errors, and no need for Japanese language skills! It's proof that technology blends seamlessly into daily Japanese life, even during a quick lunch break. ​Receiving Your Dish: The Express Delivery ​The truly exciting moment is receiving your food. While some standard sushi varieties circle on the main conveyor belt, your specific ordered dish is dispatched via a separate, fast delivery belt, a kind of small "express train" that runs directly to your seat. ​A quiet chime announces the dish's arrival, and it stops precisely in front of you. You take the plate, press a button, and the personal belt zips back to its base. It's simply amazing to watch and adds immensely to the fun, lighthearted atmosphere. ​High Quality at a Surprising Price ​The most incredible part is that all this automation doesn't detract from the quality—and certainly not the price. The sushi was fresh, the rice was perfect, and the fish cuts were just as delicious as those in a high-end restaurant. Yet, many plates cost only around 100-200 yen (just a few US dollars per plate). ​This is the ultimate proof that in Japan, good, accessible food is the norm. Kaiten Sushi is an experience that is a satisfying meal, a technological marvel, and a great way to enjoy quality sushi at a budget-friendly price. Highly recommended for anyone...

Another visit 4/2/25 and this time I didn’t enjoy it. Too many frozen fish items. The crab leg was watery. The spring rolls were strangely soggy inside! While I have always enjoyed it here I didn’t as much today. Sure it is cheap however a little high prices would be welcomed for better quality. Oh well I’m taking this place off my list and looking for a new one! Also much more limited options on tuna

Went again yesterday a-line and ordered the special tuna offering for ¥990 yen it was very good except one piece was crazy small and one piece was theee little bits put together so like end bits. If you want water you must get it yourself which alone is strange as you must carry your purse and your phone. I had a very good dinner and my total cost was ¥2,400 yen however I had no drinks other than cold water. Tea is also available at no cost. I do like this place a lot!

Ok it is a cool place however not the traditional conveyor belt since Covid. They have noodles, tempura, and of course all sorts of sashimi and sushi. Wish they offered a few higher priced items like eel for example. I’d pay more for things I like. Still very fun and interesting experience to share. They have small screens that are movable to accommodate all sizes of groups to eat. Special parfait for dessert was ok but too busy and the pudding was strange texture. Tried the large shrimp tempura roll for ¥330 however I didn’t realize it had mayo and I’m not a fan. Special ¥80 a piece tuna was really good. Staff weee friendly and helpful. Miso soup with clams was...

Excellent! Came at around 9.30PM on a Sunday evening, queued for about 20 minutes. By the time we left around 10.30, there were no more queues. They have a huge variety here for 100 yen, and lots of special seasonal dishes too. Notes: They have amaebi (sweet small prawn) for 100 yen The seafood steamed egg for 180 yen is super delicious and fresh and full of seafood, definitely order this. It had crab, small scallop, and some sort of sea snail or shellfish. Tried to order another one a few minutes later, and they were sold out They have uni (sea urchin) for about 220, but it was sold out when we got there Snow crab was also on the menu, but sold out The eel wasn't very good, would not recommend. It's not teriyaki eel, but possibly steamed - the texture is a bit powdery. Hokkaido scallop was great, and super fresh Try the shirako (cod fish sperm sacs) if you've never tried it before. It's quite mild and creamy, and not very fishy at all! Beside the shirako, it came with a quite sour orange coloured jam, so you might want to remove some of that jam as it's very overpowering. Note that all the sushi is made fresh to order, you won't find any plates circling around and around on the belt like a sushi train. Everything must be ordered off the tablet. If you don't want to eat Japanese food for some reason, you can be a total tourist and order coke, fries, and fried chicken here too.

Overall highly...
