How it Works and What to Order at Sapporo Revolving Sushi
When you walk in to Sapporo Revolving Sushi, you’ll see booths lined up and separated with metal partitions. In the middle, a conveyor belt strategically runs from the kitchen to every table. On top is a platform where the hot food is sent from the kitchen to your table. These robotic platters are equipped with light indicators, making it easy for the two tables the tray arrives in front of to know who the delivery is for.
You’ll be seated and the server will go over how everything works. Each plate from the conveyor belt is $2.99. There is a touchscreen tablet at the end of each table with additional items to order, like full rolls or hot plates.
Our favorite part of Sapporo Revolving Sushi is that if you decide to eat only from the conveyor belt, you are not going to be limited to just basic rolls. They had appetizers like edamame and gyoza, sashimi and special rolls. We loved the Sexy Mama roll, the Popcorn Lobster roll and the New Zealand King Salmon Sashimi. Each plate varies from 2 to 4 pieces and the descriptions of all of the rolls are available on the menu.
If you are craving something other than sushi, you should definitely try their hot plates or ramen. We tried the Tonkotsu Ramen which is a pork broth with chasyu, and we loved it. The best part is that it was only $6 for a bowl that was a perfect size for one person.
Two of us dined in for dinner during the week and we finished twelve plates and one bowl of ramen. Our total bill was just over $40 which is an absolute steal for the quality of fish and amount of food we got. With tax and tip we were out the door for about $55.

What is Conveyor Belt Sushi?
Conveyor belt sushi, or kaitenzushi in Japan, is a popular dining concept where sushi is served on a rotating conveyor belt that passes by customers seated around a bar or table. This innovative dining style allows guests to simply pick up the sushi they desire as it passes by, providing a convenient and interactive dining experience.
The concept of conveyor belt sushi originated in Japan in the 1950s. Yoshiaki Shiraishi, an entrepreneur, is credited with inventing the first conveyor belt sushi system in 1958. Shiraishi was inspired by the conveyor belts used in beer breweries and wanted to apply a similar system to serve sushi quickly and efficiently. His invention revolutionized the sushi industry by making sushi more accessible and affordable to the masses.
Conveyor belt sushi gained popularity in Japan due to its affordability, speed, and convenience. It allowed customers to enjoy a wide variety of sushi without the need for a chef to prepare each order individually. The system also reduced labor costs for restaurant owners, making it a win-win situation for both parties.
The concept eventually spread beyond Japan and gained popularity in other parts of the world, including the United States. Conveyor belt sushi restaurants began to emerge in major cities across the US, particularly in urban areas with diverse culinary scenes just like Las Vegas!
