I visited on a Saturday at around 19 hours (7pm). Place wasn't crowded just yet. It was fully booked online after 20:00, hence I had to go a bit early. After entering the establishment, the waiter assigns your seat and explains you how this place works. In short: You have one hour to eat, colored plates are included in the all-you-can eat menu, the white plates you get three free of charge and can buy extras if you want. Drinks cost extra. In an hour you do get to eat your belly full for sure. The food was of very varying quality during my visit. Many of the sushi pieces were okay but nothing mind-blowing. Some of the tuna sushi looked dry. At my time slot some of the warm food felt like it had been running for long. After my time was nearing its end a lot of fresh food starting to appear. Both the sushi and warm food tasted certainly better. I think I was unlucky coming at a slow moment. My favorites were the dumplings, the beef and shrimps which tasted great. I'm not for desserts so can't say much about that. Desserts included some sort of chocolate cake or assorted fruits (watermelon, pineapple). I think you will have the best experience at busy hours when the food gets replenished more often. Some other reflections: - Some of the waiters spoke good English but not everyone. - Soap dispensers were empty in both toilets.

Definitely one of the unforgettable experiences due to how well the ambient is in this rotating sushi buffet. Naming itself the Akihabara sushi, the entrance takes on an appearance of the metro station of Akihabara and brings tons of the moe culture to life via stickers on the window and the pink-ish ambient light. As of the techy part of Akihabara, it’s not really well represented apart from maybe a huge Godzilla popping out from the wall. (May Queen nyan^2) We timed our visit to exactly when they just open (at 1pm) to avoid too much traffic. If you don’t reserve a table and come late, the amount of queue is going to drive you crazy. The multilingual staff help you to find your table but despite them being professionals and working as hard as they can, you can notice how there is a clear lack of staff judging by the time you are unattended. The moment you sit down you can start eating away, and the amount of choices will amaze you. There is an upper belt for hot dishes and an lower one for cold dishes (basically what’s not heated). Sure, while the variety is impressive, most of them don’t even taste half as impressive as they seem. You also need to work with a time limit of one hour, which is definitely not enough if you are considering to chitchat quite a bit. However, if you go blitz then you’ll only need half as much time. (Do know that from what I hear there is a limit of 3 dessert dishes per person but that isn’t really enforced of anywhere on the information cards inside the restaurant. Just a heads up.) While the decoration is great, the posters could use some renewing. They are still hanging a Breath of the Wild 2 poster which is definitely from years back, as we have the new Tears of the Kingdom now. They have a dedicated corner for gachapon which is great but as result they have too much spare space not able to be used. The rotating belt could certainly get longer and fit more tables in there. While things like security in the rotating belts being tight help ensure some the hygiene of the food, things like the whole restaurant not labeling vegan-friendly or allergies may make it a not-so-pleasant trip for some. Located in the vicinity of 2 metro stations and a paid-access parking lot, it’s really easy to access being in downtown Madrid. What’s funny about this place is that there is another buffet right besides it and gets absolutely no customers while this one has tons lining up for queue. Definitely the choice of the Steins Gate.

Conveyer belt sushi. Eye-catching place, super kawaii from the outside and inside. Cool japanese train entrance, huge Tamagotchi decorations, and a row of (not working) gachapon/coin toy dispenser machines) in the back. The food itself was subpar with little variety. The sushi rolls were TINY, all the food portions were quite small actually. You have your basic rolls at best. Then some fried rice/noodles/dimsum/desserts. It is a AYCE place (all you can eat) so buffet menu had standard and deluxe posted in the entrance (€14-18). But there was no explanation of what was standard or deluxe. It was €18/pp on a weekday. The waiters often came around to tell patrons to stop putting the plates back on the conveyor belt. I think they should do it as they sit people at their tables and not while patrons are eating, multiple times. I would come back for the cute ambiance but not for the food. Better sushi elsewhere.

I was pleasantly surprised from this place! Found it randomly and decided to try it. The food was mostly good, some plates were better than others but nothing exceptional. They give you an hour to eat anything you want, you can grab any plate you like, except desserts which are marked and limited to 3 per person. The time limit was just fine, we had plenty of time to eat and relax. The atmosphere and decorations are amazing, full of neon lights. For just 15€, it is definitely worth visiting at least once. They also offer Japanese beer and drinks, but are paid separately.

Such a fun place to experience sushi-type food! While the quality is questionable, and some customers place their half eaten plates back on the conveyor, we still had a great time. More accustomed to authentic, high grade sushi that does not include mayonnaise as a topping, I enjoyed other items to complete the experience. Love the digital art that covers the walls! And of course, the neon lighting. Be aware: there’s a time limit on your table. We were notified that we had 5 minutes to finish. Really?? Yikes! Thank goodness we were done!

Excellent food..we enjoyed the food. It was a buffet for 14.95€in which they serve a variety of Japanese hot & cold food for a period of one hour. The food plates are served on two conveyor belts. The upper one is for hot food & the lower one is for cold food. Very good variety! There are desserts too. You can take three plates of desserts..here there's a limit. Otherwise there's unlimited food available for you to eat in one hour. We took white wine too. For drinks you have to pay extra, but it depends on you whether you want it or not.
