Over the past few weeks, Tampa has witnessed a rising tide of
new sushi concepts, but nothing that involves raw fish rotating around on a conveyor belt.
On Sunday, Oct. 22,
Kura Revolving Sushi Bar will make its Tampa debut at WestShore Plaza ( 214 Westshore Plaza #C-39).
The chain will also host a grand-opening celebration on Oct. 25, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and sushi plates priced as low as $3.55.
As the name suggests, the new sushi concept centers around a two-layered conveyor belt system, which moves around the room and allows guests to choose from over 140 Japanese-style dishes as they pass by the table.
Besides sushi, the
menu offers various soups like ramen, udon and miso, as well as sides including dumplings, fried rice, tempura, and a fairly large dessert menu spanning items like mochi ice cream, sesame balls and cheesecake.
With over 50 stores across the country, the 2,734-square foot WestShore Plaza space will be Kura's first Tampa location and fourth in Florida.
Between Sunday and Tuesday, Oct. 24. the new location will be open from noon to 9 p.m. Normal operating hours are 11 a.m. to 9:30 on weekdays, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.
