This is the first time I've been to a revolving sushi restaurant and it did not disappoint. It was so fun to look on the conveyor belt and grab whatever items looked good. They have an all you can eat option and you can order off the menu if the items on the belt don't tickle your fancy. Items on the belt are not just sushi there are salads and other bites as well. read more

Visited at noon time on a Monday holiday. Not sure if that was the best time to go. Negatives: -cluttered inside. Ex. Empty boxes stacked on chairs -bathrooms not the cleanest -not a lot of variety sent out with way too much Edamame as an option -they slow rolled our group of 5 after I assume they thought we ate enough. Imo, we did not get close to the $27 cost per each of us. My estimation we were at about the $20 worth it mark.. Positives: -The food was excellent -very cool concept I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe noon Monday after St Valentine's Day when they are closed the next day (tues) was not the best time to go. Maybe they were low on supply. I may try again some time but definitely not bring my family of 6 to test it out again. I hesitate to write a semi negative review but felt like I should. As I said, the food we did have was very good. Maybe next time we just order off the non all-you-can-eat menu read more

Very very slow, only one person making sushi. The quality of the fish is not good. Do not recommend. The people working were not very friendly and took forever to take our order. Even when you order specialty rolls you only get 2 pieces. Not worth the price at all. There are definitely better places around that are more friendly, have better quality rolls, and more options. Definitely not coking back. read more

Shumi Revolving Sushi - Spicy Salmon Roll - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

I brought my family here as a surprise. They LOVE sushi and I went to a revolving sushi place when I was younger in Florida. They absolutely loved it. We were greeted with a welcoming smile. We were sat at the prime spot...at the beginning of the conveyor belt. The food was fresh and delicious. You can also order off the menu if you don't see what you want on the belt. Everyone here is super friendly and make you feel welcome. This was the first time we were here and DEFINITELY won't be the last. My wife wants to come all the time now. If we didn't live 30 minutes away we would come every week. We still might! It's THAT good! read more

My husband and I stopped by yesterday to have a good time and eat our favorite meal which is sushi! the sushi were delicious, the fish is very soft and fresh. We loved The taste of the food ! Unfortunately, the service didn't meet our expectations, it was quite slow, and we had to wait a long time for our food, it took much longer than anticipated. We experienced delays with our order, and the service was not as attentive as we would have liked. In addition to the slow service and long wait for the food, the check was brought to the table before we asked for it, which felt a bit rushed and unprofessional! We might give then another chance because the food is great! But I hope we have a different service next time ! read more

Staff wearing their coats in there while working. Me too. It was cold. It was ok, at best. Service was awkward and mechanical. Not likely to go back. Not worth it. Go yo Oxford for less money and a much better experience. read more

Now that I was able to go to to Shumi, I can safely say it was worth it! The concept is cool. The sushi on the revolving belt is good and it was plentiful and varied. There is also a menu where you can order from. This made the price well worth the $39.99 a person (half price for kids). It also included a drink (soda or hot tea). My concerns- while we were not seated toward the start of the belt, no one was really seated in front but once a group of people were seated, the "good stuff" was all gone. This is where the menu would come in handy. Also, I watched someone touch the plate and not take the food- kind of gross. I could see how this could be an issue if people are sick-coughing or sneezing -because there is no sneeze guard over the food. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Quick to clear plates too. I hope they stay around for awhile because the concept is fun! With some tweaks, this could be just what all of Fairfield county needs! read more

Went here with my son to give it a try. The decor is very festive and the restaurant is very clean. The pricing varies based on what day you attend. Be very careful if you have food allergies as they do not give you heads up what's in the conveyor belt food. The sushi was just ok. The rice was mushy and warm against the cold fish and it didn't mix well. Often times it was hard for me to find something to grab to eat. The only reason I gave three stars is because the staff is amazing and even though there is a very strong language barrier they tried very hard to help and keep you satisfied. My entire family had stomach issues after eating here. The restaurant is BYOB The parking is ample as they are in a strip mall. sadly they offer a free dessert if you give a good Yelp review which is clearly wrong. They do take credit card They are open for lunch and dinner and take a break from 3-5 pm. We won't be back I am hoping for their sake it's just new restaurant jitters read more

Saw this place on TikTok and decided to give it a try. We got here as soon as it opened (10 mins past 5) and 4 tables were already filled. It is on the smaller side for something so interactive. Here's a quick overview of my thoughts : - they're short staffed so ordering things off the menu isn't as accessible as it should be (should do an online ordering system just for the restaurants that you can order and have it put on the conveyor) - should be a time limit given we ended up waiting 5-8 mins in between certain sushi we wanted - it's a small place so adding more tables would only cause congestion and all the good sushi will be taken first - resulting in more waiting times -sushi was pretty tasty - some better than others considering how fast they have to keep up with making the sushi -this is more so for an experience and something out of the typical all you can eat sushi They just opened up and they need more staff. They have a few odds and ends to piece together but still a really neat experience. I'm more forgiving for newer restaurants and don't want their reviews to drag them down. Give them a chance - be patient! read more

Despite hearing many not so great reviews, we were very pleased with Shumi tonight! We got there at 5:40 and sat at 6:45. There are many many plates that come out. We really enjoyed the rolls with spicy tuna and a crispy rice app. Since they are newer, it is BYOB of any sort. I believe they only have water. The hand rolls were a bit unappetizing looking with a TON of meat in them. It's hard to know what you're eating which stinks. If you want to know what anything is, you'd have to grab a hostess when she runs by which isn't very often. Things like kani salad and appetizers don't come out often but don't be afraid to request them! We requested a second rice app and they brought it over to us. All in all, we enjoyed Shumi. Fun experience with sushi that was a 7.5/10. We will be back! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasnt very busy! The restaurant is clean and well set up. We got a table near the beginning of the sushi belt and had a wide variety of sushi to pick from. The sushi itself was okay and there were also dumplings and tempura. Some platez were covered with a plastic covering and some were not, no reason why. Pretty good for all you can eat at $39.99. Knocking off a star because my friend ordered a chocolate banana for dessert and got 1/5th of a banana covered in hershey sauce. Plenty of parking out front. read more

We had to wait about 40 mins on a Friday night. Called 20 mins prior and was told they have a few tables available and we could just walk in. When we got there there were 5 parties ahead of us - they all showed up within last 10 mins! Note to dinner: come before 6:30! Service was good. For the price you pay the food quality was very decent. read more

We live pretty close by and have patiently been waiting for Shumi to open, we went in last night and it was great! The service was prompt and friendly from the moment we walked in. The place is small and only has eight four-tops surrounding the conveyor with another four high top bar seats at the end of the cooking area. We got there at a great time and got a seat but as we were eating a line started to form with people waiting to get their turn. The server who sat us down explained it was $29.99 (M-F) for all you can eat and that includes soda (refills too, I believe). Unfortunately he didn't mention there is also a menu and you can order some other stuff from there, for instance a specific roll. We were paying when we overheard another server explaining this to a table and it sounded like that menu is included in the all you can eat price as well. We didn't get a chance to look at what was listed on that menu. The sushi that was going around was varied and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Lot's of interesting dishes like stuffed tofu pockets, fried squid balls, gyoza/dumplings, seaweed salad and shumai were in the rotation. There were pieces of sashimi in the mix and lots of different rolls. One roll was deep fried and had a mix of crab and cream cheese, very delicious. Lots of standards like spicy tuna, california rolls, etc. If you've ever been to a revolving sushi place you know that the setup of the conveyor + your seat location is important to get the good stuff. Sometimes you eye something up and someone "upstream" gets it before you. My partner felt bad grabbing a couple plates because she could hear the young girls at the table behind us chattering excitedly in anticipation of something that was coming out. The reality is the sushi chefs stocking the conveyor did a great job of distributing the dishes so everyone got a fair crack. Other times I've done conveyor sushi there were desserts included but there weren't any last night. Hopefully that will be included in the future. The only real downside aside from not being told about the menu was that there seemed to be a lull in what was available when a bunch of California roll and smaller veg only rolls going around and around. This was also the time when my partner remarked about how the conveyor is right at breathing height. The food was well worth the price of admission and we certainly got our fill. We can't wait to return! read more

The restaurant is clean and new, cute decor and comfortable. All you can eat pricing (incl anything off the belt or menu) as of writing this was $39.99 for adults on the weekends, $27 for adults on weekdays, $13 for kids each day. Or you can pay by the dish off the sushi belt. The food is decent and they had plenty of it coming around. Some items in service need to be worked out--nothing which disrupted our evening. Generally we were pleased with our experience and are happy we went. My 9 year old said it was the best day of his life. Ha! read more

Shumi Revolving Sushi - Inside view of decor and belt - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

We were very excited when we heard about this place, and my daughter and I made sure to go almost right away. We went on a Friday, for lunch, around 1pm, and got seated right away. (They are closed between 3pm and 5pm, just a heads up). It's not a big place, so I don't know how the dinner or lunch rush works, but it's cute, and the setup in the middle is interesting. Lunch price on a Friday was $25.99 for all you can eat adults, and $12.99 kids. We had to ask for details on how things work, since it was our first experience in a revolving sushi restaurant. There was a menu available, but I didn't check what's on it, since we came to eat sushi off a revolving belt. We walked away satisfied, but the rolls we got from the conveyor belt were a bit basic. The plus is it's all you can eat, so I was able to get my fill. We'll probably visit again at some point, but Fairfield has some really great sushi, so for me the only hook so far is the conveyor belt setup. My daughter loves it. read more

Was in the area and grabbed a couple of rolls to go. I ordered their Eel and avocado roll and the shrimp tempura roll. Each roll came with 6 pieces. Dish was fresh and delicious. Really enjoyed it. Also came with a good side of ginger and wasabi. The upfront staff was super friendly. Took the time to explain to me how everything worked and then proceeded to take my order. It took about 10-12 minutes to get my to go order. Everything seems very well priced. Ambiance is casual, good for both lunch and dinner. Bright, clean restaurant. Cool concept for a restaurant. This is a personal preference, I wouldn't take food from the conveyer belt so I'm really glad they allow you to order off the menu. Overall it's a good place. Looking forward to coming back and exploring the menu more. I recommend giving it a try. read more

Shumi Revolving Sushi - Eel and avocado roll/shrimp tempura roll - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

We were very excited to try this different experience. Went there for a midweek lunch and it was pretty full because it's a fairly small restaurant. We were a bit disappointed at how slow the food was coming on the belt and the lack of variety that came out. The sushi chefs need to face different sides so that way the food isn't just coming from one end and the other end gets empty belts. There is a menu that you can order from if you choose to do the AYCE option in addition to the belt. Unfortunately, we weren't told this and only found out when we saw others ordering it. For lunch, it does include sashimi, so that's a win for the price point. Food options were with a good selection if you got to see the menu and order off it. However, the sushi rice was disappointing as it was pretty packed in to make it look like there isn't that much rice. They had drinks but I didn't see a drink menu. No dessert seen or mentioned either. Service was lacking a bit mainly due to being understaffed, not because they weren't trying. We had to ask for the soy sauce dish and we never were given plates nor the menu to order additional AYCE items. Ordering off the AYCE menu was another hurdle, as you had to flag down the waitstaff to take your order, then them getting your order correct is another issue. Between the times it took for the food to come around, you kind of filled up from waiting. Hopefully, service gets better as it was newly opened. read more

we came here for my son's bday and we had a great time! We did the all you can eat option and it was definitely worth it. My kids loved the sashimi platter. they loved being able to take the little plates off the conveyor belt whenever they wanted. We could also order off the menu as well. For dessert, they brought out a fried oreo dish with a little candle and my son loved it! read more

Restaurant is severely understaffed, after we were seated we didn't get water for half an hour. The waiters and chefs were making do with what they could, but they definitely needed more hands. Sushi was okay; for $26 a person for lunch all you can eat, it was a little pricey for the variety that was offered. ($36 for dinner, friday, and weekends) This place is unlike normal sushi conveyers I've been to. They have limited options on the conveyers (basic California rolls and kani salad) and anything else you want you have to order, which takes a while to come out since they are understaffed. Sashimi was not super fresh, tuna and red snapper was fishy. On top of that when my boyfriend ate salmon sashimi, he found a BONE in the sashimi. I've never heard of that before. I didn't believe him until I had a roll with raw fish and I also bit into a bone. Overall would not recommend. There are so many more all you can eat sushi places in Connecticut that surpass this place for the price. This place is just for the "novelty" of a conveyer belt and also caters very much to white people. read more

While the revolving sushi conveyor looks cool. I ordered from the menu and not the all you can eat conveyor buffet. I ordered sushi roll with spicy kani. The kani was not spicy and not fresh. The tobiko was was not evenly spread on top of every piece as I have experienced in any other sushi place. The pork dumplings were very bland. The matron explains they order them from a company and not made in house. She tries to placate me with a free appetizer of a stuffed jalapeño. It was not tasty. I just paid for what I ate and drank (hot sake and the dumplings). The decor was semi spartan. I will NOT be going there again. read more

Shumi Revolving Sushi - Hot sake, spicy kani roll with tobiko - Conveyor Belt Sushi Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

The sushi is good (good variety, fresh, good quality) but what Shumi really excels at is the service. I had lunch here today and they were very friendly and attentive and even insisted on making me a special roll. I ended up getting these sushi sandwiches which were delicious. They even brought out a fresh slice of chilled watermelon for dessert after my meal. I went here previously and the sushi was all uncovered, they now have clear domes to protect the sushi which makes it feel cleaner, like there is no risk someone else along the conveyor belt touched it. I really appreciate the addition of these domes. A definite improvement. I recommend the place! Just make sure you go when you are hungry because it is a flat rate, not a per-plate charge. read more

I've lived here for almost three years and really love this town. Every time I go to Fin for sushi. One hand roll $10. Order 2 each time. I still feel hungry. But this restaurant, I can eat sea urchins, I can eat hand rolls, I can eat dessert, I can eat sashimi, total today $39.99. This restaurant is really a beautiful sight in this town. The waiter was really friendly and kept asking my kids if they wanted dessert. My child is very happy . Thank you very much! read more

I came here with my brother. If you are in the mood for sushi this is the place. All the sushi was fresh and it was a cool experience to select which dish you wanted off of the conveyer belt. Not only was the sushi delicious but there was dumplings, seaweed salad, and fried Oreos. Definitely worth coming here!! read more

We wanted to try this place because we love Kura Revolving Sushi Bar in Jersey City. This place doesn't even come close. The sushi was bland, there was no variety and the quality was akin to what you would find in a supermarket. It was mostly California rolls, some tamago, pollack (called crab stick, but not really crab) and occasionally two nigiri with tuna and salmon. Sometimes fried Oreos (?) came by. They are definitely trying to appeal to those who are sushi amateurs. What's more, the sushi is on plates that are uncovered, going right past everyone's faces as they sit at their tables. Who knows how many people have sneezed, coughed or even breathed on the sushi before it gets to your table. If you want a real conveyor belt sushi experience, make the drive over the George Washington Bridge and go to Kura. It will be money well spent. Not like this place, where we left feeling violated. read more

The staff is really nice and friendly. It's a clean well kept place. The sushi we did have was fresh and delicious. Just wished there was a bigger selection, a lot of the same stuff was coming out. We sat at a table right next to where the chef was putting out fresh plates so I wasn't terribly worried about it but One thing I'd also suggest is coverings for the food as it's going around... with cold and flu season upon us id hate to grab a plate that someone coughed or sneezed next to! read more

My 9 year declared "best sushi I've ever tasted." Fun vibe, upbeat music, super fun to see sushi and choose what you want from the conveyance belt. There is a menu so you can also order specific items from the menu. Service is really good. We sat at the sushi bar, at the end of the conveyor belt (3 seats here) and could watch the chefs and see the sushi arrive first. There are also 8 tables next to the sushi conveyor belt- there isn't a bad seat in the house but we think the seats at the bar are the best. Also, try the fried Oreos- read more

I love sushi. Shumi is so good goated. BYOB and my nephews can smoke inside. Food wasn't covered though little sussy at times.

Went there today for my brother's birthday, this place was amazing! I don't understand the one star reviews, some of these reviewers are just tough critics. Plus, I'm a total foodie with a big appetite and this place hit the spot. Plate after plate of delicious rolls, sushi and sashimi, plus some other appetizers, everything was fresh too. We each the buffet and I easily stacked over 50 plates of food. Plus my brothers birthday "cake" was a big sashimi portion. Very tasty, definitely coming back. read more

Sushi was not great, and it was expensive. We saw no advantage over a normal sushi restaurant.

Had a great experience here on 7-2-24. Miso soup very different, in a positive way, than other Japanese restaurants. Rest of food was very tasty. My only minus is that there are times that nothing was in sight on conveyor belt. You can, of course, order from menu. Soft drinks and desserts are included in flat rate charge. You've got to try this restaurant! read more

I'm really lucky today, usually I go to mecha noodles to eat Pork belly bun, an order of $8. I had roast duck bun here today，The waiter said it is their new product. And I ate vegetable spring rolls.So delicious. The sushi chef kept recommending it. And tell me what's in the roll. We had a great chat. I heard the guest at the front table talking to what appeared to be their manager about her child attending school in the town. I didn't realize that the owner of this restaurant also lives in this town. Thank you so much for opening such a wonderful restaurant in Fairfield. read more

We were excited that a revolving sushi opened in Fairfield and decided to pay a visit. We've been to many sushi restaurants, as well as revolving sushi and we were disappointed. We were there on a Saturday night. The waiter told us we have a choice of all you can eat sushi or by order. We chose all you can eat. The items they put on the conveyor belt were limited. It consist of mostly the maki rolls for the hour we were there and maybe a couple of sushi went around. It was hard to tell what type of fish are served since they have no names with each dish. We were also told we can order any sashimi or sushi from the menu they provided but got attitude from the chef when we placed our order. The sashimi pieces were tiny. Overall for $40/pp you are better off going to a all you can eat sushi with higher grade of sushi, more variety than here. One pro is that the servers were nice but definitely not the sushi chef. read more
