Highlights 1) Fun experience! 2) Quick service 3) Good sushi So glad we got to stop in and try Sooshibay before a show at the Marcus Performing Arts Center. We didn't have a reservation and although we were seated right away the place was getting really busy! The experience was really fun and we loved being able to take sushi dishes right from the conveyor belt. We also ordered a few other items that were delivered via robot! Everything we ate was really good. You get what you pay for! If you are looking for super artisanal, hand rolled sushi this probably isn't your spot. We found there sushi to be high quality and delicious at the price point we were paying. We stayed for about an hour to try various rolls and finish our drinks but this is a spot where you could be in and out in about 30 minutes if you needed to be. Great for a pre-show dinner! read more

It is a bit kitschy, but that's part of its charm. They have everything set up to serve you with modern technology, yet you still receive "attentive" service from a server. We've been there four times and would rate it as a decent sushi restaurant. The experience reminds us somewhat of sushi spots in Sydney, NSW, Australia, although we found the sushi there to be more flavourful. That said, we'd love to see more sushi featuring fish sourced from our own waters in Lake Michigan. read more

Good news first. Because it's novel and sort of fun with the conveyor belt, my 13yo son had sashimi for the first time and he loved it after many years of going to sushi restaurants. Now the rest. The sushi is barely better than grocery store sushi. It's too cold so it's quite flavorless. If you taste anything it is sauces and spreads and toppings. Not the fish. The sushi pieces are inexpensive but they are also very small. Seaweed wrap was completely soggy and rubbery. Not crispy and flavorful as it should be. Typical for Milwaukee too many "clever" and creative rolls and combinations and not enough attention to the fish quality. read more

Conveyor belt sushi in Milwaukee?? Yes please! We hit Sooshibay for lunch on a Saturday before heading to a musical. They had just opened shortly before our arrival. But there were several patrons already in the restaurant. It was kind of fun to watch the conveyor fill as we sat at our table. We ordered the gyoza dumplings as an appetizer and they were brought out to our table on a little robot so fun! Between the three of us we tried several different types of sushi and shared them so we could get a good sampling of lots of different things. The servers were right there when we needed them and we thought the sushi was fantastic! We will definitely be back! read more

Ate a variety of the rolls and they were pretty good! Food comes on the belt pretty consistently but be careful because if you miss something it will take a while to see it again (just order it in that case). Tokyo sandwhich was pretty good. Seaweed salad - the bottom 50% of the container is just lettuce lol so be aware of that. read more

We came to Sooshibay within the first or second week of opening and they know what they are doing. Our server was super nice and gave us a great breakdown of how the conveyor worked so we were ready to start digging in. The seating options are great as they have single chairs and booths. It was just myself and my friend so we got the chairs but it gave us a great view of the restaurant where they have lights like look like waves and a screen with an aquarium video on it. The restaurant was super clean and if you wanted to watch the bucks game they did have it on. We started with the crabmeat Rangoons and it was delivered to us from the train that's on the conveyor belt on the top. We tried Volcano Maki which had Spicy salmon. avocado, cucumber, spicy crabmeat. Flamin' Hot Cheetos, & sesame seeds with sriracha this has the best flavor profile. My second favorite was Yam Maki which had Tempura-fried sweet potato & sesame seeds. We had the Garlic Steak Nigiri Medium rare New York steak, it was a little chewy but tasted good. We also had the fiesta roll which had Spicy crabmeat, avocado, crabmeat, eel sauce, fried onion, & sesame seeds, w/ spicy mayo. Overall it was great and I can't wait to come again. It was a really great meal. read more

Very new and clean restaurant. Theres parking in the empty lot designated for Sooshibay so you don't need to deal with street parking. All the sushi we tried was good quality. The fish portions are okay. The prices are a bit hefty. Majority of prices are green plates (5.50) with either 2 nigiri pieces or half a roll (4 pieces). You can also order on their tablets for ramen, soups, appetizers etc. Be careful of parties of 6+. They automatically add 18% tip first and then they do taxes afterwards. So you'll pay extra as taxes on tips/service fee. 39 plates for $280 Food is overall decent and well made. Prices are just steeper for what it is. read more

What a truly unique experience right here in Milwaukee. Arrived during the week (during peak dinner hours) but was still able to be sat immediately. The server explained in detail the plating price, how it works, how to order and anything else in between. Although you mostly serve yourself the wait staff were still super attentive and helpful. I personally LOVE the self serve but if you wanted a more interactive experience or not If you're not very tech savvy this may not be ideal. *Don't knock it until you try it* read more

Sooshibay is the place to go if you are looking for a fun dining experience! They have cute robots that deliver food, the restaurant has tasteful Japanese decorations, and of course their sushi belt is the highlight of the restaurant itself. They give you an iPad which you can use to order food if you don't get anything from the sushi conveyor belt, making service fast & efficient. I got their Chicken Ramen which tasted decent but felt that the broth could have been more flavorful. The meat also felt a bit dry and stringy. Not a bad bowl of ramen however I expected a bit more as this was a new spot in town. If you are looking for a fun dining out experience with Asian bites, this restaurant would definitely satisfy that craving. read more

Sooshibay is a fun addition to the food scene in Milwaukee. They have a full menu of made to order food in addition to the conveyor belt options. The conveyor belt options had a good assortment of cooked, raw, and vegetarian rolls. There were also several dessert options. Anything ordered off the menu comes to you via a train or robot. Overall it was pretty good sushi and an awesome experience. The ocean background is a fun little joke. Staff was helpful and did a great job of explaining how things work. read more

Came back for their dinner and was even better the second time! We made a point to try more hot food from ordering thru tablet and the appetizers we tried like shumai and calamari was super good!! It was also very packed on a Saturday night so had to wait a bit. Tried new things like pickled mackerel and it was delicious. My favorite was the Surf n Turf roll, loved the steak and crab meat in it!! I got to try the green tea crepe too that was pretty tasty. Only downside was we never got our drinks and by the time we asked for the check after finishing, thats when she tried to give us them and told us she 'didnt know how' to make them, thats why we never got it right away (sake bombs). We just sent it back, we were already finished! She was young and seemed new. Still, the dining experience overall was great. read more

Deserts were alright, it's just exciting to be served by a train and conveyor belt! We don't get served by the robot :(

We were so excited for a conveyor belt sushi option to come to Milwaukee. The restaurant has a good atmosphere that fits a date night or a family outing. My 9 year old loves that she can grab things from the belt, but can also have things delivered to her by train. The robots are a fun feature; reminded my daughter of one of het games! Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. The staff was friendly and they were helpful in explaining the ordering process. I love that the prices vary, so it can match almost any budget. We will definitely be visiting often! read more

Sushi's great customer service isn't the best. I've only done pickup as I live in the area. They forgot my extra ginger. I got 3 rolls the serving size of ginger for to go is so small. I was charged yet they didn't throw in even one extra ginger when I had 3 rolls. When speaking to someone be aware them telling you they will fix a problem is slim. I was told to come back came back in 5 minutes for them to not open the door. If you're going to order pickup and it's past 9:45 just be mindful although they are slow they will likely still mess up the order. For me. Sushi without ginger isn't great. Although it's been great in the past i definitely recommend checking your order before you leave. read more

Such a fun and unique experience. Not only is there the conveyor belt sushi, but also trains and robots that deliver your food as well. Although we didn't always need a server, our server was very attentive when we were having trouble finding items on the iPad. Not the best sushi in Milwaukee, but would go again just for the fun experience. Great spot to visit with friends! read more

Some of the rolls came out warm and smelled fishy (sushi is NOT supposed to smell fishy) the managers were yelling and degrading the staff being incredibly unprofessional and rude. the yelling ruined the vibe and i felt bad for employees. read more

Went on a Sunday night with my friend, we got seated at the very end of the sushi rotation and immediately after sitting down we realized all the sushi was dry. The sauce and mayo on the presented sushi looked like hard cheese and the nigiri was so dry it was crumbling. It felt very overpriced for what was being served. Really disappointed in my experience. read more

Sushi was mid at best. Awesome experience there. Loved the conveyer belt. Very cool place but I wish they would not cut quality. Would recommend for the experience not for the quality of sushi. read more

I 10/10 recommend this place. the service was well and seated fast, the robot served us and it was very fun!!! very aesthetic inside and clean. read more

Very good!!! Me and my friends went here after school and it was very cheap for the quantity. We got about 4-5 plates each and it was around 20ish dollars for all of us. Very friendly staff and good food. read more
