Interesting concept of delivering the food. Do not like the fact that the digital menu is mounted a bit high up on the wall, which make it difficult to order without neck strain. Physical menu is available if you ask for it. The food is mediocre, did not like how the sugar was added in the rice. Frankly, it's better to get the sashimi or sushi from the supermarket downstairs.

While shopping in the Tokyo Central store, a family member and myself decided to grab a bite to eat at this sushi place. Getting there, we signed up for a waitlist through an iPad kiosk, which estimates a wait of ~25 minutes. It ended up being over an hour, and the website that kept me updated counted the ETA into negative minutes, and flooded my messages with “You’ve joined the waitlist” at least 10 times/minute, which forced me to block the number. Seating at the table, we were a bit disappointed to find it was a order via conveyor system instead of the traditional roundabout system 回転寿司, which is a fault on our part (nothing on Waka, just a lack of research) Both the person I was eating with and myself typically enjoy salmon skin hand rolls, so we decided to try it. We were very disappointed with what we received— minced salmon skin bits deep fried to the point of tastelessness and burnt texture crammed with carrot in a seaweed wrap. We decided to give a few other things a try, but things didn’t look too great: Ordering the California roll, it was the price of real crab California rolls, but it was imitation and 75% mayo.. Ordering seared Wagyu nigiri, the prices were about 3x what it was in Japan, with lower quality and size meat with a funky gas taste (definitely not grilled on a teppan) Ordering Inari, it wasn’t great but not horrible, but can you really go wrong with Inari? At this point, we decided to just cut our losses and get something from the food market in Tokyo Central. It didn’t help that all of the rice was soaked in red vinegar, which did absolutely nothing to help the taste, and seemed more like a gimmick more than anything. Definitely would not repeat..

An amazing "conveyor" belt sushi restaurant with high quality fish and great vibes. I use quotes because the belt is only used to deliver the food to your table as opposed to the rotating dishes. It's located inside of Tokyo central and there's gunna be a long wait for dinner but honestly.... it's such a great market to wander that you'll find the long wait to be fun. Almost everything we ordered was delicious, mouth watering, and satisfying quality fish. The salmon quality is so butter smooth and I actually recommend the salmon party if that's your favorite type of fish. Most items are decently priced and you can totally get full off of 30 bucks if you order the lower tier stuff. Service was quick and friendly. Tip: You don't need to order on the tablet lol it'll get your arm tired from swiping the fixed screen. Just scan the QR code and order through your phone.
