Sushi Factory - Auckland

The Sushi Factory is on the paved walking street of Vulcan lane. A cute sushi restaurant where dishes come out on a conveyor belt. Not as authentic as I had hoped (Korean owned). Didn't help that they ran out of one of my favourite dishes (squid) and didn't serve my other (salmon roe). The dishes average around $4-5 and so the bill accumulates quite fast as each dish a quite a small serving. Great selection of japanese sake. Overall a fun experience.

Sushi Factory is one of those places where you end up eating just a little bit more than you should have. It's on the pricey side (about $4-$7 per plate) but the service is friendly and the delicious array of sushi, which comes around conveyor-belt style, is the best I've tasted in Auckland. The only drawback is that the stools are lined up so close it's a bit like being on a rush-hour train. But hey, think of it as an authentic Japanese experience, as well as the perfect place to snuggle up for a cosy lunch date.

Door hostess was very nice but the sushi was too expensive and not worth the price. We took four items off of the line and also had chicken katsu. Maybe it was because it was two hours before close.

Don't let my wife know I gave them a 3 star review. She was thinking lower. LOL. This is first place we ate in Auckland. We were actually looking for a Korean restaurant. Well.... As dumb luck would have it... This is a Korean run Japanese sushi joint. Carousel style with a menu. We both ordered udon sets. I liked the chicken katsu I had with mine. Also liked the salmon sashimi from hers. The udon soup was meh. Nothing real sexy on the carousel but all of it pricy. We're visitors so probably won't be back. If you're looking for sushi this place is ok but I'd recommend extending your search past here. We work hard for our money, right? :

Delicious sushi swirling around on a conveyor belt just like you see in various films. You pay a certain amount for each dish that you choose, or you can optionally find something fresh off the menu. I've had a teriyaki chicken dish, which was totally scrummy, and also eaten a few times from the train. I've never been disappointed, but it's super easy to go over budget when you keep smelling new dishes going past! However, I tend to stay around $12 max, which is average for most meals in the city. Located on the classy Vulcan Lane, Sushi Factory is a great place to pop into for a snack or a full meal while out on the town.
