KAISEN MISAKIKO Meguroten

When I reviewed this restaurant in 2018, a typical lunch here was less than 1,000 yen. You can still eat that cheaply at this restaurant, but you’ll have a much smaller lunch. The prices are up 50% to 100%. The variety of sushi available is down. There are even fewer choices of soups, and the price ...of the soup is also way up. My friends and I have been eating at this restaurant twice a month or thereabouts. At the end of our meal, the wait person came to the table and toted up each person’s bill. However, when we went there in early December 2022, the wait person gave us an itemized bill (how many white plates, how many blue ones, and so on), plus the total for the table. We begged for separate checks, but were told that was no longer possible. Figuring out one’s own bill in a kaiten sushi restaurant is very difficult for customers. You have to know the cost of each color of plate. Although the menu is multilingual, the bill is only in Japanese, mainly in kanji. The process of calculating each person’s bill was so laborious and annoying that I doubt that we’ll go back to this restaurant.

It's your average kaiten-sushi place. Very convenient. Everyone gets a tablet and your sushi will come out in a Shinkansen which gave me a smile. The conveyor belt itself was pretty empty. Price seemed a little higher. I don't like it when sushi places has a huge 100 yen or in this case 99 yen ...sign, but they only offer a few plates that people don't desire for 99 yen. Most are 180-280 yen. I've been to sushi places where most items are actually priced at the giant price in front of the store so this was a turn off. The value is questionable. Price is higher, but I felt the fish was slightly thicker. Service was your average fast and friendly Japanese service. You pour your own tea like most other conveyor belt sushi joints. This place is gaijin friendly, the menu can be changed into many languages and it even says "Sushi Go Round" outside. When I left, I was approached if the sushi place was good and I said that I'm not a professional, but I feel there's better value elsewhere.

Do not let the long lines (during dinner time) deter you from enjoying this place. It may seem intimidating ordering from an iPad that is in Japanese BUT all you have to do it ask the attendant to switch it to the English mode. The sushi was very good. The kids enjoyed the train like system that bri...ngs the food to your table. Pricing is based on the color of the plate you pick up from the conveyor belt. Plates range from 1.00 all the way to 5.00 (US dollar). The staff was very attentive and the atmosphere was upbeat and friendly.
