Kura Revolving Sushi Bar - Edison and Fort Lee NJ
Restaurant review
I totally get and appreciate the novelty of conveyor-belt sushi. It's exciting watching the dishes glide by. You get to pick stuff that looks good, like a buffet, but you don't have to move - the food comes to you. And with the touchscreen at each table, you get to order anything from the full menu and it is delivered via a second conveyor directly to your table. Super cool.
However: (and these are big howevers)
1. It's expensive. We had lunch for 6 people (4 adults, 2 children) and the bill came to $310. Adding a tip brought it to $360. ($60 per person). That's about double what we would have paid on a weekend at an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant. You pay $3.55 per plate, plus any extras (drinks, special orders, etc). But there's only a few bites on each tiny plate. It's not uncommon to eat 10-20 plates per person, and they add up.
2. The sushi is just not that good. I mean, it's fine. Not exceptional. Not inspired. Just fine. There's not a huge selection of either maki or nigiri either on the full menu, and there's even less on the conveyor. We had a few things that were not great (eg the takoyaki were uncooked inside). A few standouts: the wagyu nigiri was really tasty and has great smoky notes; the ramen broth is very tasty and a rival of other dedicated ramen restaurants.
3. You can't customize *anything*. Don't want the spicy mayo? Extra green onions? Allergic to sesame seeds? Too bad. There's no way to customize anything on the touchscreen. (Full disclosure, we didn't ask a human server, so maybe we could have gotten it that way )
4. The variety on the conveyor depends highly on where you are seated in the dining room. The plates are filled in the kitchen and progress in a line past every table without being refilled until they reach the kitchen again. Lowest-numbered tables eat first. (Maybe tip your host before being seated?).
** And there's no sashimi anywhere in the restaurant. So if you don't eat rice, you're pretty much SOL. **
Those are the biggest challenges i had myself.
A few other nits:
- the servers weren't as attentive as i would have liked, despite a dedicated call button on the touchscreen
- the touchscreen itself was sort of hard to access. High up above the table, it put the two people next to it responsible for the whole table's orders.
- tables fit exactly four. Don't try to bring a large group. They'll try to make it work, but it's not at all comfortable. In fact, the whole place is kind of snug.
I don't want the overall impression here to be incredibly negative. There's lots of positive here: the food is tasty, no challenges with cleanliness or decor. Everything worked - which is saying a lot given the amount of automation required to make this place work. And it's cute and clever!
Make sure you get the app to "virtually" get online otherwise you're facing 1-2 hours of waiting.
My takeaway is simple: if you like Japanese food are aren't picky about what you get (and don't have any food allergies), it's probably worth a trip for the novelty alone. But i suspect after you're done, you won't want a second visit.
Happy Eating!

Remember when I said not too long ago that there's more than one way to #squat if you don't wish to load your spine? That especially goes for #lankylifters. If you're like me, you have incredibly long arms and legs relative to your torso. And those usually aren't good bedfellows with proper #squatmechanics. Since the bar rests on your back in a traditional squat, your #centerofgravity is altered, especially if you're #lanky, because the lower you go in the #eccentric portion of the movement, the more you'll lean forward. And it's not as if you "can't" squat like that; it's just harder. With a variation such as the #frontsquat, however, the aforementioned Center of Gravity doesn't change at all. This is especially due to the fact that the #anteriorchain. See how relatively vertical my spine is in the picture? It wouldn't be looking like that with #spinalloading, that's for sure!

I'm very happy to announce that on Thursday, February 13th I'll be returning to The Coffee House in Edison, NJ to give tarot card readings from 6pm-9pm. Until further notice I'll be there once a month on the second Thursday of each month. Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, I'll be encouraging questions about relationships and love, although I'll answer questions on any subject. My sessions there are often quite busy and I recommend booking in advance if you want to ensure you'll be seen at a certain time. To do that or to ask further questions please contact me directly. Otherwise I'll have a sign-up sheet, and I'll see people on a first-come, first-served basis. Let your local friends know; this is a fun and enlightening activity for groups too! #tarot #tarotreading #edisonnj #fordsnj #woodbridgenj #coffeehousenj #metuchennj #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotandcoffee #valentine (at The Coffee House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8KNyLeHkNq/?igshid=bc7tvtrfgt55
