Kawa Revolving Sushi was such a fun experience! We were seated right away, and since the sushi is ready to go, we got to eat right away as well. Our server was very kind and helpful - she walked us through the process. There's sushi available on the revolver, but we can also order additional menu items from a screen at the table. It was great for someone like me who doesn't typically stray from my regular sushi order - it made me try different types of roles and only have a few pieces if they weren't my favorite. All the revolving plates are $3.45, so low risk if it's not your favorite. But all the rolls we tried were good! And the dessert we ordered at the end was good too. Great time and we will be back! read more

I've ate a lot of sushi in my life. I was never exposed to it until I was in my mid 20s. I have had some of the original sushi places in Seattle and been several times to Nobu. I gotta tell you I ain't ever seen anything like this before in my life. Basically, the whole place is run by robots - if you got kids, they'll think this is the coolest thing ever. Robots send you your drink. If you order a specialty items off the menu a choo-choo train shows up with it and of course, the rotating sushi bar was solid. Have I had better sushi of course but at $3.45 a plate I'm not gonna really complain that the tuna was not fatty enough or thinly sliced. I certainly will be back again. read more

Do you love sushi? Do you like being entertained while you eat? If so this is your place. While sitting at your table, delicious sushi rolls by on a little conveyor belt tempting you to reach out...you do this until you're full - or even more than full. Don't worry, they charge you by plate....and drinks have free refills. read more

Loved the concept for my kid. He was so enamored with it all. The robots delivering drinks, train or trucks delivering food and the converter belt oh my. This was our first time experiencing this magic. I will say the food was hit or miss. Some of it was good but some was sub par. The service from staff was very nice. We went overboard with all the options and spent $90 for 2 adults and a child. But we sure had an interesting evening. read more

Kawa Revolving Sushi - Pretty big dining area - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is a great little place! We were visiting from Lexington and liked it so much we went 2 nights in a row. The decor is adorable! My girls don't really like sushi but between the robots and trains bring our food, the food that was picky kid friendly and the cute decorations they were happy too. The staff was friendly and explained how it worked. Prices were very fair and everything tasted fresh! There were french fries, chicken nuggets, fresh fruit and little cakes for the kids. The teriyaki salmon and shrimp tempura were delicious! read more

Nice and clean. The sushi was good and fresh. Nice variety. Staff was friendly. Great place to literally GRAB some snacks....or a meal..off the conveyor belt!! :) read more

I visited a revolving sushi restaurant in Chicago and was thrilled to get one in our area. The robots that deliver drinks in the train that delivers the food always gives me a good giggle. I love the variety and the ease of trying so many different items, but be careful because it can add up quickly. If you see something on the conveyor that you want to try, Simply grab it and the server will total the number of plates you have at the end. You can also order items directly from the kiosk. The process is very simple, the food is good, and it's a fun experience. Sushi loving teens will love this place, so I will have to bring my bonus kiddos to check it out read more

I'm always sad about not having a revolving sushi restaurant in my own city, so I love to venture out and find one in other places! I saw Kawa on Tiktok, and was immediately drawn in by how cute it looked! This has probably been one of the best sushi train spots I've experienced based on food, efficiency and service. Everything was so easy to order on the little tablet at our table, there were tons of options, and it came out pretty quick! There was also a good variety on the belt itself. My favorite part about Kawa is how they would deliver orders from a train that would come in on the belt... And of course, the robot servers! This is definitely a place to not just have a meal, but an experience along with it. This will be one of the first places on my mind the next time I'm in Cincinnati. read more

This is always a great place to com! The sushi is always fresh tasting and the selection is always great. If you don't see what you want in the conveyor there's also an a-la-cart menu. The staff always greets us warmly and keeps the used plates clear better than any other buffet I've ever been to. This is a great place for families, a date night or even solo. read more

Family-friendly, fast, and fun. Little trains bring your order on tracks after you tap it in on the iPad; soups and larger items roll up via a robot (yes, it sings for birthdays). My youngest has celebrated her last two birthdays here, and it's easy to see why. I'm not a huge sushi fan, but the tempura and udon hit the spot. For sushi lovers, the variety and pace keep the table moving without feeling rushed. Portions are fair, execution is consistent, and the prices are pretty reasonable for the novelty and convenience. If you want an easy win with kids or a low-stress group dinner, Kawa delivers precisely what it promises. read more

Fun place to watch your food drive by. Busy place. Expect to wait. Plenty of choices to fit everyone's taste buds. Kid friendly too.

This place is absolutely awesome! It's super modern, incredibly clean, and overall very welcoming! I was hesitant about what it would be like at first because I had never been to a revolving sushi restaurant before, but we started ordering and grabbing sushi as soon as we sat down! The staff were so friendly and brought our drinks out super fast after ordering on the screen at our table, and were quick to refill. We ordered a few appetizers as well, but we realized we could've just waited until it came around on the belt, but it was fun to see the train deliver things straight to our table! There is also a robot delivering food to tables as well. The food was fresh, delicious, and there were LOTS of options to choose from on both the belt as well as things to order. We tried all kinds of different sushi rolls and salads. I think it's a great place to come try new things to see what you like since the portions are small; you can always grab it again or pass when it comes around again. It's clear that the staff are always adding stuff to the belt so everybody gets a chance to grab what they like. I totally recommend anyone who likes sushi to give Kawa a visit. It's an incredible experience! read more

We love this place! Great food, quick and friendly service, and no waiting for your food (as long as you like the first thing on the conveyor when you sit down). And a great place for families, as like ng as your kids are willing to try new things. read more

In love with this place! It's such a cool concept. My boyfriend is the most impatient person ever! This is perfect because we can get it, get seated (as long as you arrive before 6pm on weekends) and immediately chow down. It's nice because you can sample different rolls and not be stuck with one or two larger rolls . And we love finishing off our meal with the little cream puffs. We probably come here twice a month. It's not too expensive either. read more

Great experience! A lot of the sushi options were fantastic and fresh. I will say, I have been to other restaurants where the selection of sushi options was larger with more variety, but the options that kawa does make are consistently very tasty. The staff and chef were very friendly and went out of their way to make us a special sushi we liked that ran out and wasn't yet on the menu. Also options to order food that aren't on the revolver. Free gift with every 20 plates! Would go back! read more

Kawa Revolving Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Interesting place. Lots of conveyer belt sushi. Decent price. Robots bring some of the dishes but front staff was helpful at explaining . It's very clean. read more

This review is about the food. I can understand that coming to a revolving sushi restaurant is a fun experience and I had a good time there with my family. However, the food and especially the sushi is really just not good. So, if your expectation is about the experience and not the quality of the food, this place might be for you. read more

This place is fun and different, however it is sensory overload. It's loud and a little chaotic but with a conveyor belt and robots delivering food, it's to be expected and part of it's charm. The robots delivering some of your sides is interesting and kinda cool to see. However, sometimes they got stuck passing each other and created a roadblock. The conveyor belt is always a fun touch to a sushi restaurant! My only downside with it was that some dishes were room temperature when they would have been slightly chilled if I had ordered them from the kitchen. I would have preferred my dessert and some sushi rolls slightly cooler. You do get your meal for a decent price! My friend and I were pleasantly surprised at our bill when it arrived. I'd recommend stopping by for a slightly different take on your sushi night. read more

It was a super neat place and can get expensive for what you get. I got 16 plates and it's less than 3.00 a plate. I was full as I tried different kinds of sushi. If you order from the menu it will arrive via train and drinks and the ramen will come by the robot. It's a neat place to eat. Service was excellent as the explained how everything works and to keep your lid for them to tally up your bill. The food is what you somewhat expect. Not a high end sushi shop but better than the Chinese buffet sushi. Items that were sashimi, the rice fell apart when dipping the fish in the soy sauce. Not a big deal but it gets a little messy and that is the 1 less star. I would go back since I cannot get what I get here without buying a roll and the variation of the different types of sushi. read more

Kawa Revolving Sushi - Miso Tofu Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Loved loved loved!! The onigiri and special rolls that had fresh fish were great! I couldn't wait to start digging in. They charge per plate, about 3.50. You keep the lids to the plates so they can tally up how much your bill is at the end. You can order food via the iPad at your table or wait for the sushi to revolve around on the conveyor belt -- both options are great, though I thought it was fun to watch the conveyor belt for new rolls I wanted to try. :D The restaurant was super clean and I loved all the decor. We will definitely be back! read more

Short Form: Such a fun experience! And for the price, the sushi is very good if you're looking for solid/safe casual sushi, a fun and vibrant environment, and a new experience- this is your place! Scores: FOOD: (7.5/10) SERVICE: (8/10) - more detail in long form AMBIANCE: (10/10) LOCATION: (9/10) Favorite thing: Reds roll Long form: A friend and I arrived at the perfect time (roughly 5:25ish) it wasn't busy yet so we were able to walk right in and get a table, which is always nice when you're super hungry! We sat down and our server was super cheerful and welcoming. She made sure to ask if it was our first time or not (which it wasn't lol), when she knew we were OK she let us be free to begin the experience! Plate after plate came by, and with each plate, our excitement grew! Almost everything I ate was so well put together and very flavorful. There were a few things I didn't enjoy: 1) The eel roll- was a bit slimy, I am a fan of eel but for some reason the texture of that one was not favorable for my liking. 2) The sesame balls- texture was spot on, but the flavor was extremely lacking. They genuinely either didn't have flavor or because I had already tasted so many bold flavors; they just failed to rise to same level. 3) The shrimp nigiri- again this was so bland and the shrimp felt a bit lacking in any form of flavor. The rice underneath was just as dry and bland as the shrimp on top. Wouldn't recommend. At some point, we noticed that the restaurant began to fill up very rapidly, which was good to see, but also noticeably difficult for the staff to keep tabs and attention on everything. Our server definitely did her best and was so gracious even with the rising numbers (cheers Callie!). We had our fun, ate our fill, and enjoyed our time! If you love new experiences and solid sushi, this worth the try. *DISCLAIMER: Don't go into the fried Oreos thinking that they will be like the fair. They are TEMPURA battered so they are light rather than heavy and not as crunchy but still good! read more

Fun, different and the sushi offerings are good. Since everything is automated service is accomplished with just a couple of people. They were very attentive. I think beer is the only alcoholic drink on the menu. They also have noodles and soup bowls. We'd return for lunch if in the area at the time of lunch. read more

I am looking forward to coming back already! The vibes in here are really fun and unique! read more

Here I was thinking I would be the first one to review but I forgot to submit the draft so let's just take that part away. We came shortly after their grand opening and we had high hopes as we have enjoyed the Kura place in Columbus that has a similar vibe. This place is different of course but they are definitely trying to keep that certain vibe going! You can either pick up stuff off the conveyor belt or you can order on the tablets at the table and it will come out in these varying designs of trains. Really cool! One time we came between lunch and dinner and the sushi did not taste great. Probably because we were between the rush and some of the stuff had been out for a while. But we came during dinner another time and everything tasted great. I feel like the price is good for what you get. I used to go to a revolving sushi place back on the West Coast a lot 10 years ago and even though prices are higher, so is everything else. Definitely a good meal and a lot of fun! All the maid to order stuff is pretty good as well including the desserts. Service is always top-notch as everyone wants to refill your water and make sure you are well taken care of. read more

The food and the service was amazing! Will definitely be coming back again soon! 10/10

A fun dining experience with pretty good sushi! Really enjoyed that the servers explained the concept completely. Also liked that everything is covered with a plastic dome so you know it's hygienic. You have to place at least one menu item order just to get the sushi delivery experience. Just know it could get expensive if you opt to order whole rolls, but overall economical. Great fast option for lunch! read more
