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.
