Kura Revolving Sushi Bar Is Expanding to Berkeley

According to a recently submitted permit application, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar is opening a new location in Berkeley — coming to 2100 University Avenue , it will neighbor establishments such as Asha Tea House, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Comal.

The Japanese restaurant concept, established in 2008 as a subsidiary of Kura Sushi, Inc. , is known for its high-tech approach to service — allowing diners to order on a device at their table and serving them via a conveyor belt.

According to the company website , “Since the first restaurant opening in 1977, Kura Sushi, Inc. has grown substantially with more than 500 locations across Japan, Taiwan, and the United States.”

The menu offers a selection of nigiri, rolls, hand rolls, gunkan, hot and cold sides, udon, ramen, and, for dessert, mochi and soymilk donuts. The website states, “food is prepared using fresh, high-quality ingredients free of artificial sweeteners, seasonings, preservatives, and colorings.”

An opening date and other pertinent details have not yet been announced. What Now San Francisco was unable to contact a company representative by the time of publication.
