SUSHI EXPRESS Ximen Restaurant — Restaurant in Wanhua District

This was definitely the most fun I’ve had in a sushi restaurant for my conveyor belt in Asia! The first conveyor belt I tried back in Toronto are boats of sushi floating on water around a sushi bar.

How conveyor belt sushi works is that each different coloured/patterned plate corresponds to a different price. Whichever plate you take off of the sushi boat that has the food item on it, you will pay that for the item. Thus, it’s a per plate cost system.

After finishing the item on the plate, you stack the plates next to you on the table so that when it comes time to paying the bill, the server will count the number of plates and how many of each kind you ate.

Green tea is complimentary with hot water facet in front of you.

The sea urchin was AMAZING and imported from Vancouver!

As well the the Salted Egg Yolk Velvet Shrimp was unique to Taiwan...

We have eaten here countless time already. The people here used to be very polite. They would even shout in unison to greet customers as customary in many japanese testaurants. But, today the sushi maker, the one making sushi in the middle was very very very rude. We asked for 2 orders of salmon. We were seated right across from whete she was. Her partner had already made many in front of her. She could have just given us the sushi, easy. But no, she said we have wait until the the conveyor bearing the plates of sushi reaches us. She even put it in such a way that we would have to wait a very very long time. Omg. I lost my appetite. I wish i had taken the picture of that woman, though i couldn't...

Pretty fun, cheap place to have dinner. Basically, everything on the conveyor costs $30 NTD so you grab a seat and just go 'till you're done. The staff count your plates at the end to see how much you've had. Free tea at the table. Sushi isn't the greatest, but definitely not the worst. If there's something you've gotta have that hasn't made the rounds you can ask a server and they'll have one made for...
