You read that right: conveyor belt sushi.

You sit at your table and the sushi gets brought to you, tableside, by means of an ever revolving conveyor belt. The sushi and various other menu items are prepared fresh then placed on a plate which gets put into a protective covering (think of it like an individual bubble for that food item) that's on the conveyor belt.

The food then travels throughout the restaurant, and when you want an item, you just pop open the protective covering and grab it. You can also order specialty items that get delivered on a separate delivery belt.

This is a super fun and interactive dining experience. Plus, each plate only comes with a 1 - 4 pieces, so it allows you to really try a variety of things. And, if you happen to not like something, it's not a big waste of food.

I had the chance to try this place out, and besides the fun way you got to pick each of the food items off the conveyor belt and the fact that it was all absolutely delicious, there's another selling point: you can win a prize.

Once you've eaten all your food, you can send your empty plates through a chute at the table, and for every 15 plates of food, you get a little prize! It comes in a small ball that rolls out of a bubblegum machine-type contraption. The prize? A cute little keychain! All the keychains are of different items you can get at Kura Sushi. And different restaurants have different prizes.

All in all, if you're looking for a fun and delicious dining experience that you can't find in the Lansing area, a trip to Kura Sushi is in order. There are two locations in Michigan: Novi and Troy.
