Sushi lovers in Taiwan, hold your breath! Authentic sushi chain restaurant finally arrived in our vicinity. Have you heard about Kura Sushi from fellow food-lovers? Not only in Taipei city (since end of December last year), it has opened its second Taiwan branch in Taichung too with business started officially just earlier this month.

I can’t believe you’re still reading this instead of getting yourself down there right-away! LOL. Feel free to browse through our pictures first to get convinced then.

We tried almost all items they have (except non-fishy ones) 😆 and honestly all were just satisfying considering its good quality and inexpensive price. The only thing that’s a bit unreasonable is the queue and booking mode that’s simply hard to manage – you can try your luck by downloading their booking apps here iOS | Android and see if you can get the chance! Else you can follow our way to try to drop by at odd hours and well, wait for less than half an hour (should be barely manageable right?).

One last thing, simple guide we’d like to share with you on Kura Sushi ‘s unique dining experience.

Whole dining process is self-service. Brew yourself a cup of tea, take a soy sauce bowl and prepare your own dipping condiment.

Ready to make your order? Don’t waste your time trying to call the waiters! Just browse through all the items on the display and wait for the alarm just seconds prior to your order delivery (on the special express conveyor belts). Or you can always pick what you want from their revolving plates.

Wow wow wait. What is that box above every table? It looks fun. Every table should be able to get the chance of playing the (passive) game. Shove in 5 plates into “table-side bay” and take a look at your touch panel screen right-away. If you’re lucky, you can bring home a sushi toy.
