Any decent sushi trains in Canberra?

New Hero Sushi opened last week in Canberra Centre North Quarter. Tried it out today and found the sushi to be pretty average. Everything seems to be jumbo sized with lots of rice and they seem to only use the same handful of base products with just the proteins changing. The same mayo sauce was on 80% of the plates. I haven’t tried their other Canberra shops so this is my first experience with them.

I’ve had some pretty amazing sushi in Sydney and Melbourne so maybe I’m looking for the same from this place. My personal benchmark for sushi trains is Umi Kaiten-Zushi in Sydney Haymaket (http://www.umikaitenzushi.com.au).

Pretty disappointing but at least we still have Sushi Sushi in the Canberra Centre which I think is better.

Thanks for the advice, RA. Kagawa is now on my list. Kamameshi looks good! Guess I’ll have to go back up to Sydney or try out Crown Casino for a proper sushi train… Planning a trip to Japan too (not just for the sushi of course).

Coo is run by the same guy who runs Iori. Make sure you push through the curtains (noren) and sit inside, don’t just takeaway. Not all the menu items are available every day, but I’ve never had anything less than delicious, and good friendly service.

Re post #4 and freshness, the Sushi Hotaru train goes through an “ultraviolet tunnel” just before it gets back to the kitchen. I wonder how effective a three-second trip past a purple lamp is for killing off salmonella etc?

Where is Coo?

If you want train sushi in Canberra you have to walk along the tracks early to beat the other scavengers.

I agree that Kagawa is good….Coo is great too especially if you want to try different smaller dishes!

Try having it in Tokyo and coming back!

I got a Kagawa sashimi/sushi platter for lunch today. It’s pretty yummy indeed. If you get take-away, you do have to order well in advance though. Because they make it all fresh on the spot, it takes a while. But you can watch them make it at the front counter.

Shame about the lack of good sushi trains in Canberra. My daughter prefers sushi over Maccas and has been hassling me to go to the Sizzle Bento one, but I’m not that keen.

another vote for tasuke. oishi! (is that how it’s spelt?)

and yes, seek in vain for a decent sushi train i’m afraid…
