If decision making isn’t your strong suit and menus give you anxiety, then sushi trains (or Kaiten sushi) are for you. You’ll have to be a little more adventurous and perhaps eat a couple of mystery items, but it’s ok, we promise. Your new go-to for satisfying all your Japanese cravings. As well as the fact we have a sushi train, we also serve sashimi, tempura, donburi and udon. The sweet and savoury side options include miso, edamame and green tea ice cream and much more. We also serve authentic drinks, so if you’re feeling like some feremented rice (a.k.a. sake) this is the place for you.

The BEST sashimi I’ve ever had! Beautiful experience, lovely staff, and a nice clean and cozy environment! A bit on the spendy side, but the food was more than worth it. Will definitely be coming back here

Ordered the Ramen and it’s all good. Great atmosphere and if you had kids they would love the sushi train, and there is a ‘bullet’ train that goes around also.

The sushi train part was completely non functional, sunday 7pm. Very sad seeing nothing but the same 1 plate of brownie every 2 mins 45 seconds (video is 4x speed) we waited about 30 mins and not a single bit of food was added to the belt at all. We gave up and order some food which came out at a reasonable speed and was fine not great. the little bullet train was cute seeing it go around. Also on the pricy side, staying at the attached hotel looks like it gave 10% off which we wernt which would have made it more fair. Also no drinks menu just a standard fridge of soft drinks. But yeah a heads up the the sushi train bit wasnt being served anything we would have just placed a order straight away instead of sitting there hungry

Ate here as a party of 9 last night and we were delighted with the entire thing. The restaurant is clean and tidy with cute decor and the service was quick and friendly.
The food was fresh and came quickly no complaints whatsoever . Would totally eat here again and felt like it was really good value for money.
We came here when it first opened and did the sushi train and this was the first time we had done the buffet. Would definitely recommend either option to others =)

Great experience, we had the buffet sushi train with fried chicken and other fried food. The sushi was decent for an all you can eat however I think it lacks a little bit of variety and some of the items were not back on the conveyor belt once its gone. So 4 stars for the food other than that, it was a great experience. Would visit again.

Today, I enjoyed a delightful buffet lunch at a fantastic Japanese restaurant in Rotorua. I must say, the cleanliness of the place truly impressed me and the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was absolutely amazing, and the sushi train added an extra touch of excitement. Plus, the prices are very reasonable. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, and the atmosphere perfectly captures the essence of Japanese culture. I highly encourage everyone to visit this gem when you’re in the area.

I genuinely wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.
On the surface, the restaurant looks the part — modern, trendy, and very much what you’d expect from a sushi train Japanese restaurant. Sadly, the appearance is where the positives end. The food simply does not match the look, the price, or even basic expectations of quality.
The sushi tasted as though it had been frozen weeks ago and then defrosted just before being put on the train. The rice was lifeless, the fish lacked freshness, and everything felt tired and stale rather than vibrant and freshly prepared. Sushi should be clean, light, and fresh — this was the complete opposite.
For $50 “all you can eat,” the value is frankly insulting when the food is this poor. It felt less like a dining experience and more like being served bulk-produced, low-quality food dressed up to look premium. Quantity does not make up for a total lack of quality.
The deep-fried items were just as bad, if not worse. Instead of crisp, light tempura-style dishes, everything came out heavy and smothered in grease — more like soggy fish and chips than Japanese cuisine. It was unpleasant and left you feeling weighed down rather than satisfied.
What frustrates me most is that sushi is one of my favourite foods, and this experience has genuinely put me off. I left feeling offended by how careless the food was and massively disappointed that a restaurant presenting itself this way could serve such substandard meals.
I would not return, and I would not recommend this place to anyone who values freshness, quality, or authentic Japanese food. A good-looking venue cannot make up for food that completely misses the mark.

Food was average, there was not enough selection from the train because they try to push an all you can eat for 50bucks which includes some chips and fried chicken to share. Anyway I wouldn’t return here if I wanted good sushi.
Service was nice enough though.

A fabstastic Japanese restaurant with great food and excellent service! We visited both for dinner and breakfast (since it’s part of a motel) and enjoyed both experiences. The sushi train delivering food to the table was a huge hit, especially for our 8-year-old, who absolutely loved it!
The quality-to-price ratio is excellent – you can choose between an all-you-can-eat option or order à la carte from the menu, which gives great flexibility depending on how hungry you are. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely one of the best Japanese dining experiences we’ve had in a while. Highly recommend for both families and sushi lovers!

This was genuinely the worst food I’ve ever had in my life. Our sushi roll contained a rotten avocado—you could smell it immediately upon opening the container. The odor alone was alarming.
Our total bill was over $200, and every item ended up being thrown out. After eating only a few bites, I became extremely sick and spent the night vomiting. The sushi had a strong, unpleasant smell, almost like a dirty, wet towel had been used during preparation. The rice was old, hard, and clearly not fresh.
This was completely unacceptable, especially given the price. Food quality and safety were seriously lacking. If I could give fewer than one star, I absolutely would.
