Sushi Hotaru

Tucked into Midcity Arcade, this bustling kaitenzushi joint channels the unapologetic, fast-paced energy of a Kyoto railway station. A total lifesaver for a quick, high-grade sushi fix without blowing the budget. Seafood purists constantly point to the rare cuts here—you don't just stumble onto engawa or sweet amaebi nigiri at everyday conveyor belt spots. Plates clock in at a hyper-affordable $4.20, loaded with brilliantly fresh salmon and famously generous soft shell crab hand rolls. Tablet ordering keeps the feast moving at breakneck speed. The dining room is ultra-compact. The service, occasionally chaotic. But that lively, authentic charm is exactly why raw-fish chasers pack the house daily. Snag a stool, grab what looks good off the belt, and feast.
