Overview

Stumbling upon Sushi Train, smack dab in the heart of Auckland, was one of those delightful accidents. Nestled at 85/89 Customs Street West, it boasts a lively sushi conveyor belt vibe that entices even the pickiest eaters. With a solid 4.6 out of 5 stars from 1,768 reviewers, it’s clear that folks dig this spot.

First-time visits can be a tad confusing. The ordering system left me scratching my head a bit. Seems like I was supposed to jot down what I wanted, but no pens were in sight. Yikes! In these COVID days, sharing pens probably isn’t the best idea.

But let me tell you, once I got past the ordering ordeal, the food? Oh, it tempted my taste buds! Fresh sushi rolls, fun and quirky presentation, and that chance to see chefs whip up dishes right before your eyes? Pure joy!

I’ve got to admit, the atmosphere felt a bit muted at times, like everyone was in a whispering contest. A lively atmosphere could really elevate the experience. Still, the friendly staff and clean environment made for a pleasant lunch—or dinner, for that matter. Definitely a good pick for solo dining, but maybe not the best for large groups unless you snag a reservation.

They serve everything from small plates to hearty noodles, which meant I could still satisfy my craving without bursting at the seams. Parking can be a bit of a game, but with options like free street parking nearby, it’s pretty manageable.

In short, while I might grab my sushi fix elsewhere next time due to some quirks, Sushi Train’s charm and deliciousness kept my spirits high. If you’re searching for a casual spot to enjoy some sushi bliss, give it a whirl!
