Have you figured out yet that I’m excited for conveyor belt sushi from Singapore?  It’s not open yet, but after much begging, they finally let me into Sakae Sushi (43rd btw. Lex+3rd) last night for a first look at the conveyor belt and computer system (which they’ve been putting together all week). The belt itself, which snakes in a u shape around the entire restaurant, carrying little small plates of sushi to every table, doesn’t actually go back into the kitchen- where all the food is prepared.  There are no sushi bars either.  All the food is made in the back, and brought out by servers to be placed on the conveyor belt. For those “crazy” people, who don’t want to eat sushi off a conveyor belt, there is a mouse operated computer at each table you can use to order anything off of the menu.  This not only includes freshly made small plates of sushi, but larger things that don’t fit on the conveyor belt as well. A look at the complete menu after the jump, plus an update on their “Friday” Grand Opening…

Looking at the whole menu, I’m realizing that it will take a lot of planning (and math) to get out of this place full for under $10 (and still be full).  But as far as I’m concerned, exceptions can be made to the Midtown Lunch $10 price limit in two instances.  1) All you can eat buffets, and 2) restaurants that use conveyor belts to deliver my food.  Here is a sample of some of the things that you may see roatating around the restaurant from 3 sample pages taken from the menu: To see the full 30 page menu, click here. If you’ve been to a Sakae Sushi overseas, you may end up disappointed by the first US location which lacks some of the uniqueness or “cool” factor of the locations in Asia.  That’s because they felt a more subdued location would be more appealing to the clientele of Midtown.  See what the losers have done?  Even when we get something cool, we get screwed. According to their publicist the restaurant is still on track to open on Friday, but not until dinner time, meaning (if it actually happens) Tuesday should be our first chance for an official “Midtown Lunch”.

I have to assure them it will be short before they allow and direct me to a table. Read moreSakae Sushi @ TradeHub 21There is a kids playing area outside the restaurants.

Prices are very cheap IMO for the quality that you get. I think only once I've had the rice that's too dry, but on the several 50 or so times, it's been very consistent. They only have a few... I have known about Sakae Sushi since I was a kid. It's a family owned business that only does counter orders of take-out sushi. For large orders, you gotta call ahead. The sushi is always ready and it's the best. My family always ordered sushi from Sakae. They have been in business in the same store for over 60 years. Sakae Sushi (sah-kah-ee zoo-shee) is a local South Bay institution--- been around 50+ years--- a place that seems quirky if your not familiar with such places, but it's a "Go-To" place for to-go sushi in the traditional style.

The menu is limited, it's exclusively to-go (no space to eat there), parking is on the street and in a small back... How do I justify my claim? Sakai Sushi in Gardena had been in business for over 50 years and they always prepared the sushi in the same manner passed on from generation to the next. Starting with the selection of best Japanese rice and cooking it the old fashion way. The other ingredients were methodically prepared and rolled together to... Been getting sushi here all my life! My favorite sushi is here! Selection is limited, but it's the best tasting I've ever found. Pricing is great too! Sushi by the piece. Mom & pops, traditional, super Japanese. CA roll - rice very flavorful, fresh avocado, hint of lime, fresh shrimp - da bomb! I've been going here for years & was just there last week. Their California Roll is soooooooo good! Big pieces and is always always fresh. Super small place on Denker, pick up only but so worth the trip. They only make 6 different types of sushi but they definitely put their all into those 6.
