We walked around Shibuya for a bit and now it was time for a sushi fix! I used Google maps to find the restaurant.
Shibuya
Located in one of the narrow side streets was Uobei Genki Sushi. I always thought this place looked really cool and was excited to finally try it.

Dinner Time
There was a wait so we took a seat at the u-shaped couch. It didn’t take long at all before we were given our numbers.
Sushi Fix
Uoebi is considered a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, but it’s a bit different. Every seat is numbered. Find your station and take a seat.
Numbered Seats
Seat 50
You use touch screens to place your order. Your order is sent directly to you with a small “sushi train” holding up to 3 plates. You send it back to the kitchen with a tap on the touch screen.

There’s also a hot water dispenser and matcha powder to make green tea.

I couldn’t believe how reasonable the prices were. Most plates with 2 pieces of sushi only cost around $1!

Prices were great and the sushi was good. It’s not the best, but you really can’t beat the value. Plus, it was such a fun and unique dining experience.
