New Pittsburgh Restaurant To Use Drink Delivery Robots

PITTSBURGH, PA — Most sushi restaurants don't use conveyor belts and employ robots. This one does.

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar is preparing to open its first location in Pittsburgh soon in SouthSide Works. The restaurant will be located on the ground floor of the former SouthSide Works cinema, which was converted into an office building in 2021.

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar originated in Japan and recently expanded to North America. Sushi makes its way around the restaurant on a conveyor belt in a new dining concept. The restaurant also gives away prizes and has drink delivery robots, according to a release.

The food is prepared using natural, premium ingredients free of artificial sweeteners, seasonings.

“To be able to secure Kura Sushi speaks volumes, not only about Southside Works, but also the entire Pittsburgh dining scene," said Herky Pollock, executive vice president and northeast director retailer services group for CBRE.
