With the grand opening of Makoto Revolving Sushi Bar on Staten Island, we noticed a common question coming up:What exactly is a revolving sushi bar?
If you’ve never experienced one before, you’re not alone. Here’s a quick breakdown of the concept—and why it’s become so popular around the world.
What Is a Revolving Sushi Bar?
A revolving sushi bar, also known as conveyor-belt sushi, is a style of sushi restaurant where small plates of sushi travel through the dining area on a moving belt. Guests can simply pick up any plate that catches their eye as it passes by, or place an order for specific items to be prepared fresh and delivered directly to their seat.
The experience is designed to be interactive, relaxed, and easy to enjoy—whether you’re a longtime sushi fan or trying it for the first time.
Where the Concept Originated
The revolving sushi concept originated in Japan in the late 1950s, created as a way to make sushi more efficient, approachable, and accessible to a wider audience. By using a moving conveyor system, restaurants were able to serve a steady variety of sushi while reducing wait times and keeping the experience casual.
Over time, the idea spread globally and evolved into a dining style that’s known as much for the experience as it is for the food.
How It Works
At a revolving sushi bar, the process is simple:
-
Plates of sushi continuously circulate past your table or counter seat
-
You can grab whatever looks good as it comes by
-
If you’re looking for something specific, you can order directly, and it will be prepared fresh
-
Plates are often color-coded by price, making it easy to track your total
The format encourages variety, letting you try multiple items without committing to large portions.
Why People Enjoy It
Revolving sushi bars are popular because they offer:
-
A fun, interactive dining experience
-
A fast, casual atmosphere suitable for families and groups
-
An easy way to sample different sushi options
-
A welcoming setup for first-time sushi diners
It’s sushi that feels approachable, social, and unpretentious.
