Sushi Train or Traditional Sushi? How to Pick the Best Experience for You

If you love sushi (or just thinking about trying it), you’ve probably seen both sushi trains and traditional sit-down sushi restaurants. But what’s the difference? And which one is right for you? Let’s break it down so you can pick your perfect sushi experience.

Sushi Train: Fun, Fast & Full of Variety

A sushi train (kaitenzushi) is one fun way to enjoy your first sushi experience. Picture this: a conveyor belt gliding past you with endless sushi choices, ready for you to grab and enjoy. That’s the magic of sushi trains!

Why You’ll Love Sushi Train

• Quick & easy: Perfect when you’re short on time. Just grab what looks good and start eating!
• Budget-friendly: Plates are colour-coded by price, so you can mix and match to fit your appetite and budget.
• So many choices: Try a little of everything, from fresh nigiri to crunchy rolls. At Pika Sushi Drouin Train, you can choose from four colour plates. It’s a great way to explore new flavours.
• Fun & interactive: Watching sushi glide by and picking your favourites makes the whole experience exciting, whether you’re dining solo or with friends.

Traditional Sushi Dining: Classic, More Personal Experience

For those who enjoy a more relaxed, refined meal, traditional sushi dining is all about quality and craftsmanship. Instead of picking plates off a conveyor, you order from a menu and let the chef work their magic.

Why You’ll Love Traditional Sushi Dining

• Personalised & made fresh: Made-to-order sushi means you get exactly what you want, prepared fresh by skilled sushi chefs. Great for those who appreciate sushi artistry.
• Customisable: If you’re after the freshest cuts of sashimi or special request like extra wasabi, traditional sushi dining is the way to go.
• Cozy & intimate: Perfect for date nights, special occasions, or anyone who enjoys taking their time to savour each bite in a calm, cozy atmosphere.
