Pointing out that a restaurant gets you to spend money is rather pointless, isn’t it? Still, few make it as enjoyable and easy as Sushi Plus, a rotary sushi bar that boasts three locations in Illinois: Chinatown, Northalsted, and Aurora.
I mostly stick to the Chinatown location; the atmosphere there is a whole vibe, featuring 3D paintings, a claw machine, and a wheel of fortune (with real prizes) on the wall. Just keep track of the spending—color-coded plates of delicious sushi options sliding by on a conveyor belt tend to add up quickly.
Food being served via machine could risk feeling impersonal, but conveyor-belt restaurants are so novel that it’s just fun to have easy access to fresh sushi on rotation right at your table. And if you do happen to order something off the menu, you’ll barely miss the lack of human contact when it’s delivered by a miniature train (on a separate track, don’t worry).
That’s not to say Sushi Plus doesn’t have servers who are attentive and more than willing to answer your questions—it’s merely that the fun, casual space is the main charm. Tasty fun has rarely been done so well.
