7 Conveyor Belt Sushi Restaurants In Singapore That Are Wallet Friendly

From the fluffy, vinegared, pearly white rice to the fresh and melt-in-your-mouth slices of delicate seafood, Sushi is one of Singapore’s favourite types of Japanese food. However, we all know too well what usually comes after the luscious and succulent feeling in your mouth – a long list of dishes on a receipt, ending in a dreadful and bulky sum. That is why wallet-friendly options, like Conveyor Belt Sushi restaurants, exist!

Kaiten-zushi, or Conveyor Belt Sushi Restaurants, was birthed in 1958 in Higashiosaka, a city in Osaka, Japan, by Yoshiaki Shiraishi, a restaurant owner, who got the idea after watching beer bottles on a conveyor belt in an Asahi Brewery. This idea exploded in popularity and has now spread to many countries around the world – including, of course, Singapore. From the time-honoured Sakae Sushi to the relatively new Sushi Plus, take a spin on this list of 6 Budgeted Conveyor Belt Sushi Restaurants in Singapore!

#1 Sushi Plus

Located on the 2nd floor of Bugis Junction, Sushi Plus is a new restaurant opened under the Sushi Express brand! Unlike its parent restaurant, Sushi Plus has two belts - a regular one with unending lines of sushi, and a special order belt for unique menu items! With prices from $1.50, Sushi Plus offers an extremely affordable option for sushi lovers who wish not to compromise on the food’s quality! From yummy Jumbo Salmon Belly Sushi ($1.50), Mentaiko King Crab Sushi ($1.50) to the scrumptious Unagi Don Buri ($4) and their signature Salmon and Scallop Sashimi only at $6.50, there’s an item for everyone! However, with extremely affordable sushi at a prime location, watch out for long queues with waits above half an hour.
