SUSHIRO to Open Its First U.S. Flagship in New York City
SUSHIRO is a Japanese sushi restaurant chain that is opening at 667 8th Avenue in New York City on November 19. The restaurant is known for serving Japanese food at affordable prices. It will be the first flagship location in the United States for the chain.
SUSHIRO started in 1975 in Osaka, Japan, and now has over 1,000 locations globally. The chain is all about merging old-world sushi-making with technology and modern dining experiences.
The new restaurant will be three stories tall and will have seating for 146 guests on its two floors. DIGIRO, an interactive touchscreen ordering system, will allow customers to place orders directly from their tables. The system is designed to replicate the conveyor-belt sushi experience without a traditional conveyor belt.
Orders will be delivered directly to guests through a personal serving lane. Interactive games will also give diners opportunities to win prizes.
The interior will combine contemporary Japanese design with warm wooden details. The space is designed to create a welcoming atmosphere while complementing the restaurant’s lively dining experience. SUSHIRO will open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
