      Depends on the plate you get from the conveyer belt. Different colours indicate different costs. I think they range from like $3 to $8?

            @dongltron: Upon clicking, the banner ad says $3 each sushi… and if you swipe the banner, there is a $3.80 "each plate" advert for a specific store.

            I would therefore be confident, but not certain, that this promotion is only sushi… which is a deal breaker for me.

    What is more common is their deep-fry stuff and BBQ.

      Sushi is considered sort of fancy food in Japan. And any Japanese will tell you the whatever things they sell in the most of the so called sushi places in Australia are not sushi at all.

      • Pumpkin_rrr on 06/11/2023 - 16:02

        Ha, I often wonder why but never try to research this phenomenon.
        Mind to share some references?
        Why they are not popular in Japan itself?

          Sushi is considered an art form requiring years of practice and is made to order of the freshest ingredients while conveyor belt sushi is considered low-end quality, but perceptions have changed over the years and it is more widely acceptable as a more affordable option.

          You probably have encountered sushi restaurants more than you realise (not sushi train) as a number of them look non-descript from the outside.

        Most sold here as "sushi" is not regarded as real sushi in Japan.

        It was developed & popularised as a relatively cheap fast food in USA as California Rolls. Then brought here.

        Same with those sachets of "wasabi" - it's mainly coloured horseradish. Totally unlike (expensive) Wasabi served in Japanese restaurants!

        • Pumpkin_rrr on 06/11/2023 - 20:51

          Well well, things you find out when you ask.
          I am never a fan of any Sushi place. When friends have gathering at any Sushi Joint, I just get a head-spin and couldnt understand it, but too shy to ask. Now I know!
          It will be much more delightful to have a say Bake Rice dish, or Claypot Dish.

      Depends on where you are travelling in Japan. Spent over a year, just travelling through most of Japan.

      Certainly have been taken out to sushi train style eating places there, outside of major city centres.
      Few high quality sushi restaurants there, unlike in main cities. The sushi trains provide an economical option.

      At one sushi train there, a 60 year old local (ultra-marathon runner friend of my rice farmer friend) was paying for me as a guest. So was told to take 10 plates. Talking less would be disrespectful, more - he couldn't afford it.

      Plenty of sushi sold at department store food halls & supers (supermarkets). Usually discounted by 50% late in the day.

      • compound on 05/12/2023 - 17:00

        Even 80%

          Walked into supermarket in a poor area. There were queues in front of each checkout. But no one was buying??
          No prepared food was left.
          Discovered already reduced price of prepared food was again reduced @8pm.
          Was just buying beer, so they directed me to checkout.
          Even grocery shopping in Japan is a different experience🎏

            Might checkout the fuss is with Hokkaido.

              @compound: Loved Hokkaido. It's not just for snow sports!

              Shiretoko Peninsula on the East Coast has amazing wildlife & nature. Bears, waterfalls into the sea… And amazingly different indigenous culture & people.

              Islands to its North are remote & fascinating.
              Hakedate & Wakkanai are famous in Japan for their seafood.

              Sat in many outdoor natural hot springs there. Always amazing surrounded by snow.

              Did I mention how amazing it is…

    • ippy on 06/11/2023 - 16:48

      Sushi is available at every supermarket, and plenty of people buy that. Most people, especially those with families, do not eat out for dinner. That said, sushi is not an every day meal.

        But they do exist in Oz Supermarkets, Woolies and IGA I think.
        Didnt pay much attention because it's not my thing.

            @ippy: "most people do not eat out" - this is so wrong.
            As Tourists, we visited all sorts of eatery places, from low to high end, also self-catering thru Vending Machines, and even Markets. Japanese people do eat out!
            In case you dont know, some if not most Japanese men go to Pubs/Restaurants after work to socialise, and come home to dinner cooked by their wives.
            Last but not least, I have some cousins living there for over 20-years, and we discuss food all the time….

      • compound on 05/12/2023 - 17:01

        Depends on your location. If its a chain or independent store. And what you mean by Chinese!

        Not surprising if true.
        Sushi traces its origins back to a Chinese dish called narezushi.

        Asian food was eaten in Northern Australia before the arrival of Europeans!! Spices were grown here by Asians harvesting tripang & trading with locals.

        Chinese have probably been provided food services to Australia since soon after the First Fleet arrived!

        Sushi Train's founder is an Aussie - Bob Jones. He is credited with bringing the “Rotation Sushi Bar System” to Oz. Creating the Sushi Train style store here.

        Sushi place up the street is owned by local guy originally from Hong Kong (not a friend of China), trained by Japanese chef, & staff are Aussie.

        Most independent stores nearby are owned & staffed by locals originally from S Korea. They offer more spicy options. Raw seafood is common there, similar to I've eaten in Japan.

          I mean those who speak Mandarin hosting sushi shops are very unlikely to be Japanese?

            @Freddies: Your original comment was

            …most of sushi shops in Australia are opened by Chinese

            You back that up with your anecdotal evidence that Mandarin was apparently spoken in a sushi shop… (shock, horror!)

            So that means Chinese own most sushi shops here??

            That proves nothing.
            And never been my experience, but am sure it's true in some stores. Wouldn't bother me.

            I base my opinion of the store on the quality of the food served & service. Not on the Nationality of the owner!

            I've eaten quality real Sushi in over a year travelling in Japan.

            My local Sushi stores (owned by people originally from Korean & Hong Kong) are of similar quality to sushi train stores in Japan. So am happy to eat there👍

            So? What's your real issue with people of Chinese origin?

            those who speak Mandarin hosting sushi shops are very unlikely to be Japanese

            Aren't Chinese allowed to own Sushi shops & restaurants??

            Seems you think Japanese needs to spoken by owners of Sushi places?? And restaurants need to be owned by the Nationality of the food served?? Have a think about that next time you eat out!

            Few Sushi outlets are owned by Japanese, so apart from the traditional Japanese greetings to welcome you to the store - Japanese is very unlikely to be spoken at a store!

            I've been served by people from China (working here while they study) - at Japanese owned chain Mos Burger.

            How do I know where people are from??
            Am interested as a world traveller, so simply ask nicely. With respect!

            Much nicer than making likely unfounded presumptions & likely incorrect sweeping generalisations😜

            As one of the few Aussies (of white Anglo origin) to take an Australian business to court & win on the basis of Discrimination (refused service, based on my Nationality - Australian!), I take prejudice very seriously!

            Sushi is a popular international food now.
            Sushi is based on an ancient Chinese food.
            Most styles of sushi sold here were developed & popularised in USA. Its not considered Sushi in Japan.

            The original Chinese Restaurants here were owned by people of Chinese origin - speaking Cantonese, not Mandarin.

            Many non-Chinese here speak Mandarin - its taught at school & Uni. Speaking Mandarin doesn't make you "Chinese"!

            A friend was concerned when a Uni recruited her to place their Graduates into positions in China. She didn't speak Mandarin, only Cantonese. The Uni made a presumption that because she looked "Chinese" she could speak Mandarin. She's Malaysian, lived & studied here😜

            Be cautious that your presumptions & generalisations don't look like racism😉
            The owners of this site would take a dim view of that. You do know their cultural origin?…

            • Freddies on 09/11/2023 - 18:10

              @INFIDEL: I never said sushi shops owned by Chinese were bad or anything like that and idk how you made up so much crap in your mind. Are there indeed many Japanese/Korean in Australia compared with Chinese? Check the statics here:

              https://www.abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/quickstats/20…

              Japanese 45,267
              Korean 102,092
              Chinese 549,618

              Is it shocking to see ovelwhelming Chinese opening sushi shops? Since when sharing one's experience = discriminating?

              I doubt sushi was originally from China either and back then it wasn't even called China?
              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_sushi

              Narezushi in ancient China is first documented around the 4th century, when the Han Chinese migrated south to adopt this food from the Baiyue (the original non-Han inhabitants of southern China in the Neolithic, related to modern Southeast Asians).

              Baiyue was not "China" at all. Otherwise you can say Africans invented everything because every "modern" nation/ethnicity was originally from Africa?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recent_African_origin_of_modern_humans

                As you've shown, no proof is necessary, but a biased view is very handy to make things up😜

                idk how you made up so much crap in your mind

                Really? Maybe you should ask yourself that!
                You're the one making a big thing about "most of sushi shops in Australia are opened by Chinese" - based on no proof🤔

                And you prefaced that with "I heard that…", a common phrase made by those with no proof, but who want to create an issue out of nothing!!
                Now that is SHOCKING😜

                I asked you

                "So? What's your real issue with people of Chinese origin?"

                SHOCKING??

                OVERWHELMING CHINESE!!
                What's wrong with Chinese opening sushi shops?
                A definite overreaction. Based on your own bias rather than any proof.

                Seems you have another agenda… to claim it SHOCKS you, based on no proof.
                An unfortunately common scare tactic used in politics.

                I go to a sushi shop to happily eat sushi.
                Seems you just see a "SHOCKING" take over by CHINESE!

                Your initial comment sounded like an old Pauline Hanson claim. (But she now likes those Asians she once claimed were taking over.)
                Seems you're more extreme than Hanson!

                Since when sharing one's experience = discriminating?

                Not discrimination, but possibly bias or prejudice!

                You claim was
                I heard that "most of sushi shops in Australia are opened by Chinese"

                Unless you've visited most sushi shops in Australia & found that to be true - that claim is clearly NOT based on your personal experience!!

                You said you heard the claim from someone else!
                Hearing & repeating another person's claim is not from your personal experience!!
                It's like repeating what you heard on talk back radio or from a drunk down the pub😜

                Much the same as when a new anti Chinese neighbour complained to me that "the Chinese are taking over our street!".
                Not at all accurate (no more than 5%), but might seem true for him from his personal experience… due to his prejudice, recent heavy drug use & hard life!
                Different nationalities have come & gone in the street over years. It used to be know for the very white, blonde Swedish residents here - but no one complained about that!

                You still have provided no proof to back up your claim… that the Chinese are taking over😜

                Just that they must be Chinese, not Japanese if they speak Mandarin…

                There is no explanation of who or where 'they' are, that you overheard?? You've visited every sushi shop in Australia?? Or even "most" to check?

                So why claim "most of sushi shops in Australia are opened by Chinese" with no proof??

                Oh boy!

                @Freddies: You provide Census "Country of Birth" stats to back up your spurious claim. Lol!

                Giving the number of people originating in different countries - does not mean anything more than that. You can't prove ownership of any business by any group from that.

                Are there indeed many Japanese/Korean in Australia compared with Chinese? Check the statics

                What has that to do with ownership of Sushi shops?? Absolutely nothing!
                It only requires 1 or 2 people to set up a sushi shop or even a chain of stores!

                As I initially pointed out, ownership will vary by location. So too does country of origin within local populations.

                In my area, of the many sushi shops I've visited, most are owned & run by Australians of Korean origin.

                But I don't jump to the wrong conclusion… (Like you do!)
                That "most of sushi shops in Australia are opened by Koreans"!!

                I'm not SHOCKED or concerned about the OVERWHELMING KOREANS opening sushi shops!!

                I realise other areas will likely differ in populations & store ownership.
                And I've eaten plenty of tasty sushi & sashimi in S Korea! So no issues there.

                As I am curious, instead of "SHOCKED" like you, I ask at the stores - to get the facts.
                Rather than make biased, unfounded assumptions!
                I treat people with respect, that you seem to lack!

                I doubt sushi was originally from China either

                I doubt you believe much, unless it fits your apparently biased mindset!

                Ever journeyed through the countries of China & Japan??
                I have, over many trips to both. I've spent time discussing Japanese & Chinese history with the Chief Archaeologist at an important Early Jomon period site in Southern Japan.

                As for Narezushi…
                Lol! Even your Wikipedia quote claims it originated in China🤔

                and back then it wasn't even called China?

                Lol! What do you think that proves or matters?? Nothing! (Its simply the area we now refer to as China.)

                As for

                Baiyue was not "China" at all.

                If you knew anything about the ethnic groups (ie Baiyue) in what is now Southern China, you would know how wrong that is!

                Obviously you don't understand what you are writing about!!

                Otherwise you can say Africans invented everything because every "modern" nation/ethnicity was originally from Africa?

                What?? What a completely loonie claim that every traditional food made originated in Africa, rather than in China, Japan, etc as researchers & historical records have shown.

                I prefer what has been discovered through research in areas like Linguistics - searching for where words for foods entered language, tracing foods to their origins! Very interesting!
                And from archeological & other evidence.

                Where did sushi come from?
                "Sushi is said to have originated in China between the 5th and the 3rd centuries BC, as a means of preserving fish in salt. Narezushi, the original form of sushi, has been made in South East Asia for centuries, and nowadays, there are still traces of it in some parts."

                "Narezushi appeared in Japan in the 8th century, and still survives today in the form of foods such as carp sushi."
                (Plenty of other references support that.)

                Many foods we now associate exclusively with Japan, were introduced from other countries.

                Sushi & Ramen were introduced to Japan from China. The Portuguese introduced it's famous fried food. Those origins even surprise Japanese.

                Japanese were very good at taking products from other places, copying & perfecting in Japan. Its an art form I appreciate.

                Such as what we here call Sushi. But Japanese usually don't consider our sushi as… real sushi, as it's mainly foreign developed for the fast food industry.

                Japanese may refer to some foods we think of as typically Japanese as "Foreign Food".
                Food customs in Japan vary based on when a food was introduced to Japan from other countries! (Before or after the Edo period.)

                Korean master celadon potters were kidnapped from Korea as slaves & made to produce beautiful porcelain pottery & train Japanese potters.
                Most Japanese are unaware of that dark history of their Japanese porcelain.

                The Japanese electronics industry developed through copying & perfecting consumer electronics from other countries.

                And so on…

                  @INFIDEL:

                  As I am curious, instead of "SHOCKED" like you, I ask at the stores - to get the facts.
                  Rather than make biased, unfounded assumptions!
                  I treat people with respect, that you seem to lack!

                  I like how you created conspiracy by saying that I didn't respect Chinese or whatever which I never claimed. I can clearly see you behaved like the Texan in a joke, who fires some gunshots at the side of a barn, then paints a shooting target centered on the tightest cluster of hits and claims to be a sharpshooter. You already believed that I knew nothing about East Asia and started to use your vivid imagination. Maybe you can consider being a fairy tale story book wrtier?

                  So since when eat-japan.com is an adacemic site with food history research integrity? So writing a setence on a website = a solid evidence? Interesting arguing method but you do you.

                  Ultimately, creating a wall of text won't make your viewpoints more convincing but I'm done with this fruitless conversation. Plus, you know nothing about me but it was funny that you thought I was being racist.

                    @Freddies: Lol!
                    You do realise the widespread availability & affordability of "Sushi" here - is because its not owned & produced only by Japanese!!

                    If you appreciate the takeaway "Sushi" sold cheaper due to the competition, you should be grateful for the number of Chinese & others producing it😂

                    But if you've eaten real Japanese Sushi - you'll know it's not real Sushi.

                    Sushi now is a fusion food sold almost everywhere around the world… by many different people.

                    Usually few Japanese own sushi takeaway places, outside of Japan!

                    But good Sushi places employ a Japanese chef highly trained in Sushi preparation.
                    I like to frequent those & chat about Japan & food with the chef. Of course they cost a lot more😉

                    Almost anyone can set up a sushi shop.

                    Set up costs are relatively low for a profitable small takeaway sushi shop.
                    (Very little food prep area, or expensive large equipment. So lower rental costs. Little language or food prep skills (beyond making sushi) necessary. So lower staff costs.)

                    Ideal for people with less capital. Like many small food businesses - well suited to new arrivals.
                    Whereas my Chinese neighbours are far richer than me, being all highly paid professionals. "Typical"😂

                    1995-96 Takeaway sushi report onto the Sushi business here found 3 groups owned sushi shops - Australians, Chinese & Koreans.

                    Nothing new! Nothing to get as upset as you seem to be!

                    An Australian selling "aussie sushi" in New York has been reportedly been attacked for not being Japanese

                    Whether that is a real issue, it does open up the question - is our sushi just "aussie sushi"! It's not really Japanese Sushi.

                    Another tasty fusion food we do well in Australia!

                    Maybe take your Chinese beef - to a Forum.
                    Try the discussions at redit - there's no need for real stats or proof there😉

                    Claims of 99.9% ownership by Chinese in an area overseas. Others say it's 99.9% ownership by Koreans in their area!
                    (Meaning only 1 out of 1000 sushi shops are not owned by Chinese / Koreans. I think thats a total exaggeration!)

                    eg
                    The Truth for All Sushi Places

                    Chinese Owned Sushi Restaurants - Is it offensive?

                    Are Japanese restaurants run by Chinese people a thing in your country?

                    Why do so many Koreans own sushi and ramen restaurants

                    Why are there so many Japanese restaurants owned/operated by Koreans or Chinese?

                    etc…

                    Teaching at Uni, I shared with a Lecturer from Japan. He never ate Japanese food here. "I came here for the Aussie beef!"

      The Bondi Beach store had a promo for $3.50 for City to Surf which we stumbled upon. We finished towards the end, but queue wasn't too long when we got there. Plenty of options on the train. Was good value. They need a store north side. Chatswood please!

    Expect them to "run out" of every item, except the ones originally $3.8 !

    • AustriaBargain on 06/11/2023 - 17:25

      Looks like they won't even be serving certain items on that day. Honestly I don't pay attention to the plate colours anyway, I just grab what I want. If the plate colour prices were listed more prominently I might not though.

      • quop on 06/11/2023 - 18:02
        +1

        Pretty standard exclusions based on what I've seen of their past similar promotions (anniversary / store openings). Most of the exclusions aren't plate sushi items anyway, so they're not serving those other items to be able to focus on pumping out the sushi ones. And sashimi being excluded would be because of the disproportionately higher cost of ingredients there.

  • Munki on 06/11/2023 - 15:57

    Closer to pre-covid prices. Nice.

    • Poor Ass on 05/12/2023 - 19:00

    My 2c

    Australian sushi is not sushi if you've ever been to Japan. Hell even the 711 sushi is superior.

    My partner, a chef from Osaka found it amusing how a lot of the people putting the sushi together were not Japanese.

    Definitely save money to experience sushi (or any other dishes) in Japan - worth every penny.

    • homersyd on 05/12/2023 - 16:24

      Completely agree there in terms of Japanese sushi is far superior to the sushi we have here, although it's kinda saying Chinese makes the best Chinese food, and Korean makes the best Korean food etc…lol

      • compound on 05/12/2023 - 16:40

        Actually certain cuisines here in Australia is of really good standard like Thai, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Indian etc.
        It's unfortunate that Japanese is not one of them.
        But it if it is then there's the fancy price tag to go with it.
        Also worth checking out Japanese restaurants in Vietnam ran by Japanese chefs, you'll be surprised at the standard there for like a fraction of the cost here by far.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2023 - 18:13

      My girlfriend is also Japanese and we are regulars at Sushi Train. We both think it's pretty good for what it is.

      What difference does it make what country the staff are from? They just follow a recipe. Also, the manager at my local store is Japanese anyway.

        Spectrum of experience to produce the final product that is closest to being authentic.
        Different standards for different demographics.
        Opinions vary, I am just stating ours in the food industry for western and Japanese clients.
        Depends on your standards for the cuisine.

  • KSMLJ on 05/12/2023 - 16:05

    Sushi is better in Japan?

    No shit Sherlock!

    • compound on 05/12/2023 - 16:44

      You missed my point.
      Any food in the home country is better, the question is how much better.
      Subjective ofc…

      • Poor Ass on 05/12/2023 - 19:04

        That's not true… The fast food in America taste worse than Australia

        Just the produce is not as good as Australia

        • compound on 05/12/2023 - 20:36

          Exception to the rule.
          Just because the produce is better doesn't mean that the final product is better factoring skill and freshness of the final product.
          E.g. Korea, Vietnamese and Turkish can't compare with there despite produce.

          • Poor Ass on 06/12/2023 - 01:13
