TEMECULA, CA — Temecula is adding a new revolving sushi bar to its arsenal of steakhouses and burger joints. Meet Kura Sushi, located at 40705 Winchester Road, Suite A104, next to Trader Joe's, across from the Promenade Temecula Mall.
The restaurant hours will be Sundays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Kura Sushi, an innovative, technology-driven Japanese concept based in Irvine, was established in 2008.
The "conveyor belt" sushi place offers a revolving sushi bar. The primary belt snakes through the dining area with plates of fresh sushi, protected by a ventilated lid, limiting airborne exposure. It has plate-tracking technology that monitors how long an item has circulated, and ensures that food is always fresh and delicious from conveyor belt to table. There is also an express conveyor belt that delivers food items ordered via the touch panel menu directly to guests from the kitchen.
Another fun element to the sushi experience at Kura is the Bikkura Pon Prize System. "The touch panel registers the number of sushi plates dispensed into the plate disposal slot," a spokesperson for the restaurant explained. "After every 5 plates inserted, a short animation will play on the touch panel and after consuming 15, 25, then every 15 plates thereafter, a prize will be dispensed from the prize machine."
Kura Sushi is currently in a soft opening, and has planned its grand opening ceremony for Friday, April 24, a spokesperson for the restaurant says.
"Kura Revolving Sushi Bar will celebrate its grand opening, with sushi plates priced at $3.95 and other dishes, the price will vary," they said.
The first 150 guests seated will receive a commemorative Kura Sushi t-shirt. Rewards members who check in to dine between Friday and Sunday, April 26 will be entered to win a "Kura Sushi for a Year" gift card. Five people will be selected to win that grand prize.
Reservations can be made up to one week in advance through the Kura Sushi Rewards app and online at Kura Sushi Temecula and may be subject to change.
