I've gotten the takeout and lunch boxes several times. Avoid the sushi in the little plastic rolls at all costs! They are not sealed and the pieces near the end are dried out and disgusting. I got a box of something like seared salmon salad - the sauce was overpowering, and the fish seemed like they recyled sashimi from lunch (hence the sauce). And of course, I got sick after eating it. The lunch box with the chicken seemed safe, but honestly for the price (~$10) I'd rather go to the many great places nearby (Loeb's or Sichuan Pavillion just to name 2).

Concept of the conveyor belt was cool, but the food and service sucks.

I waited for 10 minutes before something came around that I was even remotely interested in. And after that the same old items kept coming around that no one wanted. The sushi was sliced paper thin (a few cm tall) and was not worth the money they wanted for it. Some of the plates were massively over priced ($5 for a ball of rice with a paper thin piece of yellowtail on top). The overall taste of the sushi was just average. It wasn't horrible like pre-made sushi you get in a grocery store like Kroger or Giant, but it wasn't good like a decent sushi restaurant. Overall I would just save your money and go somewhere else.

i had seen similar restaurants all over london when living there so was excited to find this. i love the twist on the traditional sushi, particularly the tiraditos (much less expensive than at zengo but at least as yummy). it is a conveyor belt place but you can also order anything from the kitchen so the chicken fan in our little group was still happy.

The building attracted me and the idea of Fusion sushi was interesting, but that is all I can say positive about the place. I arrived a little early and was the first to sit at the endless loop of sushi. Most of the Sushi-go-rounds I have been to in the past have been fairly good, with the chefs making the sushi and depositing the little colored plates on the circuit. However, no chefs were in sight and the "train" went into the back room..... The cheapest plates were $2.50 and were for veggie items only - most of the plates with 2 pieces were either $4.50 or $5.00. All of the sushi had very small pieces of fish on them and the Tuna Maki (rolls) - you had to look twice to even see that any tuna was in there at all. I had a few plates that had been sitting around too long and the fish was warm. Way too many rolls and nothing out of the ordinary.
I travel all over the world, and absolutely love good sushi - unfortunately, this was not. At the end (when I decided I didn't want any more of it), I was still a little hungry and considerably poorer. Run, don't walk away
