Mawashi Sushi Katsu

Overall good experience.
(Tip: to avoid the long lines, go during off-​peak times like 4:30 pm.) We got to the front of the line in a remarkable 15 min.
We ordered from the tablet and the sushi was made and delivered to us extremely fast. It’s understandable how they get people in and out of the restaurant quickly. Sushi (taste) was as good as any kaiten place. The pieces of fish were long cut (draping over the rice) but thinly sliced. Price was reasonable and the party was very satisfied.
When leaving, the line was its usual out-​the-​door which reminded me to come early if I want to eat there again.

Great quality, excellent service and fast. Decent draft beer. Highlight on O-​TORO, Blue fin and eel although everything ordered was delicious.

Yes, there’s a queue set up outside.
Yes, there’s a queue set up inside as well.
But, it goes by pretty fast, especially if you’re just two people.
The space is huge! And, it seems like there’s a high turnover of customers finishing their meals, which helps with the fast-​moving queue.
I have an American bias so sushi in Japan is top-​notch. What little conveyor belt sushi /​sushi boat options we have in California is cheapcheap and tastes like it.
But in Japan, it’s on another level.
The sushi here at Mawashi tastes like what San Franciscans can get at a higher-​end sushi place. And the most expensive item is about 500 – 600 Yen (~5−6 USD). Two pretty and delicious pieces of «the best of extra fatty tuna» for 500 Yen. Seriously, where can I find this at home?
The setup is pretty simple. There’s a conveyor belt with sushi plates you can just pick up and start eating. There’s 7(ish) different plates that signify different prices. And there’s a menu for you to look through so you can write down what you want to order on a sheet of paper to hand to the sushi chef.
When you’re finished, let one of the waitress staff know and they’ll come over and SCAN THE PLATES to see how many you had and at what price level. MIND. BLOWN. That’s some tech we don’t have back in the States!
We liked this spot so much we decided to have our last meal in Japan here. Until next time, you extra fatty tuna.

Loved this spot for lunch. Had the albacore tuna, unagi x2, red snapper, escolar (SO good), uni, inari, tamago, salmon, and… one other but I’m forgetting now. If you’re a fan of uni, go ahead and get the «premium» uni instead of the regular. I wish I had because the regular uni was a bit dark and «fishy.» In any case, I will definitely go back. BTW — it’s pretty cheap… I went with a friend and we split everything; the total bill came out to 1800yen, which is less than $ 18. What?! Score!

Value for money. Casual dining-​style sushi. You can enjoy every dish and be satisfied at the end. Only problem is: you have to get in the line and to wait for a long time, sometimes no less than 1hour. If you have enough time and have not much money but desperately wanna have a good sushi, this is the place to go.

One of the best bang for your buck sushi places in Tokyo! Their sushi quality is par or above some of the best in the US. You can order directly to the sushi chefs if you know some Japanese. Otherwise, you can stick w the ones on the conveyer belt, but pay attention to make sure which ones are the freshest before you make your move. Their seasonal items such as Buri, fresh opened uni… are amazing. (For the price of course)
