Uzu Revolving Sushi, the second conveyor-belt sushi restaurant to open in Rockville this year, will hold its soft opening from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, according to manager Pherese Manzanero.
The restaurant at 1701 Rockville Pike is located in the Shops at Congressional Village shopping center.
“We’re really excited to be a part of this strip that we’re in,” Manzanero told MoCo360 Friday evening. “Bringing the concept to Rockville and really quality sushi and a really cool-looking restaurant, I think a lot of people are going to enjoy it.”
Uzu Revolving Sushi offers an array of traditional Japanese nigiri, maki rolls and beverages such as sake and teas. The food is delivered on a conveyor belt system that winds throughout the restaurant. In addition, several robots above the conveyor belt deliver other dishes and drinks to patrons, according to Manzanero.
The opening comes more than a month after another conveyor-belt restaurant, Kura Revolving Sushi, made Rockville’s Federal Plaza its home.
Manzanero said Uzu Resolving Sushi has been in “silent opening” mode to test the kitchen and delivery of food to patrons. The restaurant seats about 100.
The shopping center is also home to neighboring Kanpai BBQ Hotpot Buffet, Kajiken Ramen and Okaeri Japanese Café and Anime.
