Sushi Plus⁩ Rotary Sushi Bar - Aurora (No Reservations) — Restaurant in Aurora

We had a wonderful visit. This was not our first visit but we haven't been there for many years. My two boys (22 and 16) were sure to collect many plates.

How it works:. Once seated, you can order drinks on the call station at your table or wait on a waiter. They will bring a warm towel to wipe your hands before you start. I think my boys had each eatten three plates before the warm towels arrived. Each table has two little doors that open to the conveyor belt that the sushi goes by on. It is like a little enclosed train track. There will be a card that gives the name of the sushi and a description of what is in it followed by several plates of that same type of sushi. Open the door and grab a plate that interests you. You have to be quick. There is also a little poster that explains the cost of each colored plate at each table. Remove the cover and stack those up at the end of your table. Waitstaff will swoop in and grab those occassionally. Stack the empty plates on your table. At the end they will tally how many plates of each color you consumed to figure out the total. It is a courtsey to stack same colored plates together so it is easier for waitstaff to count at the end.

This takes going out for sushi to a new level and reminds me of a visit to Tokyo 20 years ago.

Most of the sushi was great. The tuna (maguro) was disappointing but there were so many options we didn't mind too much even though it is our favorite. Maybe it will be better next time.

Part of the fun was grabbing something new to try and sharing it knowing if we loved it another would be along shortly. If we didn't love it that was ok because we only had one order. The sushi chefs did a great job keeping the line full and it didn't take long to get a repeat of a favorite.

The downsides:. 1) They do not accept reservations, I assume, because they can't tell how long ppl will stay. They wait time is excessively long (a hour) but they give you a pager so you can wait in your car or shop the nearby stores while waiting. 2). The maguro (tuna) was not as good as expected. I am not sure if it was quality or freshness but we only had one plate before determining it wasn't up to our standards. 3). There is nowhere to sit and wait for your table. A bar would have been welcomed. We could have enjoyed a Sapporo and an appetizer while waiting. Or a few benches outside would have been appreciated. 4). It is a bit pricy but so is sushi. So be prepared. Those pretty little plates stack up quickly. 5). Service was poor. They do have a call station on each table but the wait was extra long. My boys ate cheesecake and coconut pudding with chopsticks because we could get anyone to bring us spoons. The delay in getting drinks was also too long. I am going to assume this is due to Covid staffing issues as everyone seemed to be busy the whole time.

Overall:. We will be back. This is a fun experience and I...

Update: 1/25/25 They’ve moved to a new location. This spot has taken things up a notch compared to the last location! Here, all the seats are rotary, so you’re right in the action with the conveyor belt sushi setup. If you liked the previous place, you’ll probably Love this one even more. It’s bigger, has a bar at the front, and the vibe is just electric.

The techno music adds energy to the already lively atmosphere, and the service is top-notch—friendly and gracious staff who make you feel welcome. The decor is sleek and modern, with a cityscape backdrop that ties it all together beautifully.

The food presentation is on point, and the rotating sushi is definitely the main attraction. There’s a great variety of fresh, delicious options constantly passing by, so it’s hard to resist grabbing one plate after another. Plus, the place feels super family-friendly despite the buzzing energy.

Whether you’re here for a quick bite or a fun night out, this spot nails it.

—- Original review: The name says it all. The rotary is where different types of sushi goes around one part of the restaurant on sort of a conveyor belt and if you are sitting next to that sushi rotary then you can pick up whichever sushi looks good. A pretty cool concept for kids specially but us adults enjoy it as well 😊

It’s in a small strip mall by Fox Valley mall. Looking at it from the outside, it looks nothing special. But it’s a very nice looking place inside. Bright and cheery atmosphere with very attentive service. And it’s always busy - especially by the rotary so you might not get a spot next to that but plenty of other booths available where you can order from the menu.

Regarding the service, they start you off with a warm small disposable wipe for your hands in the beginning. Not many places do that these days so it was a nice touch.

If you’re by the rotary, simply pick up whatever you want. If you’re at one of the boots away from the rotary, there is an electronic tablet at your table where you can look through the visual menu and place the order. Simple, easy and quick.

I found the prices also to be reasonable. Usually about four rolls of sushi in each plate for approximately six dollars each.

Definitely a good place to...

I went on two separate days and at different times, to get a fair sampling of how things work. The food itself is excellent, after that, things start to get iffy.

According to their policy, new plates stop being added 30 minutes prior to close. In actuality, that happens about 45-50 minutes before close. So, if you're on the tail end of the conveyor, you aren't getting much of a choice if you're still hungry.

With that said, there is an abundance of the more expensive plates (top 3: $6-9) available at any given time, but about half that in the lower plates (bottom 3 $2-4). So as the conveyor passes, if there are affordable options passing by, you need to grab them all or you'll be paying out the nose just for a few small servings.

Everyone knows beverages cost pennies to the vendor, so it's not a costly service to offer free refills. However, if you want another drink, you'll be paying for it. Even just tea. That's a surprising thing to do when the plates are on the higher end for sushi.

The servers are present but not readily available. They do more chatting with each other than they do checking-in and seeing if you need anything. There are interactive tablets at each table that allow you to "Call" a server, but if that's what I need to do, don't include tip suggestions on my receipt. I'm serving the food to myself and I'm going to be sipping my one drink. What service is provided that deserves a tip?

If you're looking for a fun sushi experience and money isn't a concern, give it a try! But if you're looking for a wide selection, at a reasonable price and want to enjoy your food without feeling like your in an orphanage fighting for scraps, try...
