Welcome to Uobei Sushi!


Aaron had heard from a coworker about a new sushi restaurant that opened called Uobei Sushi, located in the Musashi parking lot. We'd driven past there before and since Melissa was in town, we figured we'd check it out.

When we got there, we saw on the sign that it was actually a Genki Sushi restaurant, but for some reason the name is Uobei. When we were seated, we were surprised by how everything worked.  The restaurant was mostly tables and not so much counters like a lot of the conveyer belt sushi places.  Also, there were no conveyer belts.  Instead, there were bullet trains and race cars and space shuttles delivering our sushi orders for us.  We were so entertained by them!  I had to video them.



The quality of the sushi wasn't bad either.  So far we've eaten at Hama Zushi, Umai Sushikan, and Sendai Heiroku.  Sendai Heiroku and Hama Zushi are all cheap in price and quality.  We end up going to Hama Zushi when we're hungry late at night and there's nothing else open.  Umai Sushikan's sushi is much better in quality, but pretty pricey.  Well, Uobei seems to be the perfect medium.  The prices are cheap, but the quality is much better than Hama and Sendai Heiroku.  On top of that, it stays open until 11pm!  Awesome!

What I like about Uobei, is there's more variety just like Genki Sushi.  It's kind of weird to be excited about Genki Sushi, since in Hawaii it's not that great.  But in Japan, the variety (and space shuttles) is welcomed!  Here we ordered basil french fries.  Seems weird, but not bad!



We were so excited about this place that we ended up returning two more times in the next two weeks. By then I was pretty sick of sushi!  But not a bad place to go to, especially if you've got kids.
