cheap for decent sushi

by brunette1

Pretty good overall except the space is small. I would imagine the wait on a weekend night is never-ending.

Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: Some of the stuff can taste a bit bland.

ok, so we go to this place because of the conveyor belt and me and my friends were looking for something different. . . let me tell you this is an expierience worthwhile. at the entrance you are greeted by a lady shining with a beautiful smile then when you are seated you are greeted by the sushi chefs with a "irasshaimase" which means welcome. the sushi can be ordered or you can just pluck the sushi from the conveyor belt that rotates around the restaurant. this is one of the best places to go to if you want an expierience and most especially if you love sushi

Pros: conveyor belt sushi? YES !!!

best japanese restaurant

by sushilvr4ev

East is a very special and exquisite authentic japanese restaurant. its conveyor belt is an awesome way to transport little appetizers such as sushi and dessert. the restaurant has great service and its food represents the mother country of Japan. there are seats around the sushi makers so you can see food freshly made. the main courses in the menu just blew me away when it came by. i would recommend the udon and the boxes that consist of tempura, sushi, salad, and side dishes. the overall price is reasonable.

One drawback is that the raw food doesn't seem fresh because it just sits on the conveyor belt and spins around.

Pros: food= TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!!
Cons: freshness of raw food

My first experience with conveyor belt sushi

by satellight

I was told about this conveyor belt sushi idea and didn't believe it to be true until I saw it with my own eyes. The moment you sit down (downstairs), you are passed by plates of two, three or maybe four pieces of sushi, so grab away! The plates are all colour-coded, so that's how they determine how much you eat. You also see advertisements along the conveyor belt for other things that are specially made in the kitchen, like special miso soup with clams. The whole experience feels like a kind of Japanese diner. It's energetic and the staff is extremely attentive. Upstairs, there are private rooms for groups of friends and also a karaoke bar for the second part of the night. Overall, this restaurant rocks, especially because it's amazingly inexpensive... especially on Tuesdays. Go with sushi lovers and enjoy... just eat slowly because those plates of sushi pile up and you can get a little overly excited, haha.

Pros: Fast Service, Great Sushi
Cons: Loud

A Great Place to Eat from Baruch College

My friend Sandy introduced this place. There are inexpensive sushi, lunch boxes ($15-20) and noodle soups (Get soba noodles). It is a great environment to be in after 5pm. You can be seat on the 2nd floor.
