Master Critic Review
Sushi Plus Sushi Rotary Bar
7.8
A conveyor-style sushi format that’s best approached as a controlled tasting run: grab a few core nigiri and one familiar roll, then reassess before stacking plates. The experience is the point here—keep choices simple and you’ll get the cleanest read on quality.
Must-Try Dishes:
Salmon Nigiri, California Roll, Edamame
