Yen Sushi

Sushi on a revolving conveyor belt. Five stars!! We are back for the second day in a row. The restaurant stays consistently full but never feels busy.

How does it work? You sit by the revolving counter and grab what you want. At the end, they’ll count up your plates: Yellow = $2, Green = $2.50, Blue = $3; and White = $3.50. Be prepared to stack an embarrassing number of plates here because it’s a fun way to try new rolls. It’s hard to resist the opportunity as they roll right by you.

The cost

The spicy tuna roll was 💯 and we definitely had our fair share of rolls with shrimp, tuna and crab. This was our first time trying the Tamago (omelet) roll — because it’s honestly the first time we have seen it! Sweet and pretty wonderful, especially if you have a child in your party who has maxed out on raw fish.

Tamago

The exceptional thing here is how fresh the rolls tasted. Even the Philly roll was worth writing home about. Rumor has it they have had one of the same chefs since the beginning. Our first visit we sat next to a father and son who had driven across town to eat here— yet, this felt like a gem in our own backyard we had never heard about.

Revolving Belt

Worth checking out for sure! Since one person on our team has a crab meat allergy, I’d just note that having a few more rolls sans crab meat would make our day. But we won’t be picky. Still 5 ⭐️s! The servers are notably helpful and kind. And while we can’t figure out the connection, we are happy to end the meal with a plate of macarons!
