Kyodai - Rotatin sushi bar

If you are hungry and you need to be fed immediately, this is the place to go.
Kyodai is what I consider as instant gratification.
Is like a MacDonalds for Sushi, in and out we go. Except with way nicer food choices (unless you are a burgerphile)
Kyodai is the only rotating sushi bar in Baltimore, and it is perfect for people that want to try something new by looking at it first and pulling it off the conveyor belt.
Yes I said conveyor belt!! The way it works is you sit down at the counter and sushi plates are transported on conveyor belts around the table to multiple people.
Put this way, is like picking up your luggage at the airport.
Different color plates mean different prices.

The sushi is decent, but nothing extraordinary. I noticed that the choices on the conveyor belts is mostly rolls, nice rolls, but still rolls. Crab rolls, spicy tuna roll, rainbow rolls, salmon roll, tempural roll, california roll, cucumber roll... ok you get the point.The good thing is that you can also order lets say inari roll or anything else off the menu. The taste was fairly good, but the execution and final appearance of the sushi was not as fine-tuned as other places I've been to.

Everything tasted very fresh. The other cool thing about about the rotation system is that you can monitor how much you spend, as different color dishes mean differest cost. With the same token it can get pricey if you pick a couple of the expensive items and you are a big eater.

Only negatives are: large crowds on Friday nights, and no liquor other than sake is serve.

PS: You can park in the garage for free. Early reservation is recommended during busy hours.
