Small revolving belt sushi
The server mainly help u place order for drink or combo, You can write down on ur paper and put it in the tray on the belt and wait til ur number come back to pick up
The sushi is good but not super good
The price is good but also expensive if u order too much some plate is pricey
Uni is alright, oyster is good
Overall its way better than kula or other kaiten sushi can come if u want to experience
Otherwise there are def better sushi place imo

We came on a weekend due to social media posts and reviews we had seen. I have to say that those who gave anything more than 1 star have no sense of taste or their taste buds have died or their tongues have shriveled up and feel out of their mouths. To say we were utterly diappointed would be an understatement. The service, which seems to be the least rated for this place, was absent at best. The staff(there were 4-5) just stood against the wall and chit-chated with other or zoned out on their phones. We were seated promptly- we were there just after the doors opened. The staff did not explain anything to us-we have been at rotating sushi bars before, but what about those that have not? The waiter disappearred after seating us. We flagged down another waiter (10 minutes after we started eating)to request water and the customary wasabi and ginger dish. Only one dish was given to us to “share”. The ginger had an “old” flavor to it. The wasabi was hidden under the ginger. Don’t expect any “service” from the staff.
We sat down and started to view the plates coming on the conveyor belt. There was not much variety. Most of the dishes had either salmon, tuna, or scallops…that’s it. There was also seaweed salad, edamame and some sorry looking cheesecake on the conveyer belt. A paper order menu was available to order other items like hand rolls, bento boxes, udon, appetizers, and other assortment of sushi. We did order a few other dishes off the paper menu to get a wider sampling of fish. The sushi was not any better. The quality and taste was not good. The way the fish was sliced looked odd and uneven. The unagi was very interesting(see pic). It was pale in appearance, not the usual grilled look that is often seen when you order unagi. Again, we questioned the freshness and quality.
If you lived in the sahara desert and this was the only sushi place for miles and miles, then I can maybe possibly see giving this a 2 or more star rating.
We live in an area of California that overflows with an abundance of eating choices and a wide variety of amazing cultural foods, regardless of how fancy or simple these eating establishments are, and I am always baffled about how places like this are in business. I am venturing that the “affordable” prices must be the reason this place is able to keep their doors open.
NOTE: The bento boxes looked decent but we can’t vouch for the flavor since none of us ordered bento boxes.
As to the products on the conveyor belt….not good. The tuna tasted old/leftover. It had a tinny taste, kind of like canned tuna. The salmon was flavorless. The baked mussels were interesting. It had a sweet sauce on it that masked the taste of the mussel…hmmm, I wonder why. I have eaten much better sushi from food trucks and grocery stores.
For those on a very tight budget and just want something to fill your sushi craving, this place is for you. For those that enjoy good sushi…skip this place. There are much better places where sushi can be had. Cheers!

This place made my day, after the hot trudge through Santa Ana. The conveyor carrying the nagiri and sashimi traveling the length of the bar was a novel selling point. The serve staff were a model of front of house operations. Busy behind the counter, the sushi chefs helped us learn some of the more singular dishes that I hadn’t seen before. Sushi’s always been one of my favorites- but I’ll always remember and want to return to this place. The beer was unique and smooth to my German taste buds.

absolutely love this sushi spot! Service was quick and our server explained to us how to order since it was our first visit. Each sushi piece was fresh, buttery and HUGE. The portion sizes were a lot bigger than we expected and our visit exceeded expectations. I’d love to visit again whenever I’m in the area and would highly recommend to anyone!

Yes, this place is good . I was invited here by 3 friends (tres amigos if you will) and we had a good time. I suggest seating your most responsible friend next to the conveyor belt thingy or else your friends will too busy laughing to notice the food . Everything was very delicious and I love wasabi

Had a horrible experience today.
First, the service was terrible — the waiter didn’t even smile and brought everything like we were eating there for free.
But the biggest surprise? A roach on the wall, right next to our table and food.
And when we told the waiter, all we got was a $6 discount — not even an apology at first.
I would never eat there again.

We were surprised that there was not a line on a Saturday (There was always a line before it even opened on weekends). Once going in, the waiters are new. The food felt different. The taste was not nearly as good as before. Salmon skin rolls didn’t taste good; the meat was charred. The food experience was disappointing. They even messed up orders. I learned from the waiter that there was a new owner. If you have been there before, lower your expectation or don’t go. You will be disappointed!!!

Kaisen Kaiten is hands down one of the best sushi spots I’ve been to. The conveyor belt setup makes it so easy to try a little bit of everything, and every plate I grabbed was fresh and delicious.
The whole experience is fun, relaxed, and perfect for sushi lovers or anyone looking for something a little different. We’ll definitely be back soon!

This place is incredible!!! The sushi is the freshest we’ve had in quite some time! The pieces are generous, well prepared and delivered in a timely manner.
Now to address the service… If you’re looking for a sit-down place that is going to serve you – water, menus, bring food to you, etc., this isn’t your place. This is revolving sushi – the focus is on the basics and the kitchen. We had water when we needed it, had questions answered, and was seated and received our check in a timely manner. You do need to flag someone down if you need something. It’s not rude. It’s efficient.
If this is your first time here ask questions first, make sure you understand the system, and then have fun ordering and selecting some of the best sushi you’ll probably ever have for the most reasonable prices.

I’m not someone who enjoys writing negative reviews, especially for a restaurant I’ve been coming to for over 7 years. Unfortunately, yesterday was my last visit.
Over time, the cleanliness has steadily declined. The tables, plates, baby high chairs, and restrooms were consistently dirty, but I kept coming back because the food was above average and the prices were reasonable. This visit was different.
When we sat down, 3 plates already had wasabi residue on them. The restaurant itself felt unclean, and the kitchen appeared especially unsanitary. Even worse, the food—which used to be the reason I overlooked these issues—was disappointing. The udon broth tasted like nothing more than hot water.
It’s really unfortunate, because I wanted to continue supporting this place. Cleanliness is non-negotiable, and this experience made it impossible to return.
