About
Kura Sushi Inc. was founded in Japan in 1977 and has grown into one of the world's largest kaiten sushi chains, with hundreds of Japan locations and a growing US presence under Kura Sushi USA. All fish is additive-free and the menu rotates with seasonal Japanese offerings alongside perennial favorites. The technology experience is part of the draw: conveyor belts, lane-delivery systems, and prize dispensers after every five plates create a fun, interactive dining format rooted in genuine Japanese sushi culture. The Convoy District location puts it squarely in San Diego's most concentrated Japanese dining neighborhood.
