Sushi Express @ 313 Somerset

This is my new favourite sushi place! It's fantastically cheap - every plate at $1.50, but not only is it cheap, it's very tasty too!

There are ample seating as they made a really long snaking conveyer belt so as to maximise seating. Most seats are facing the conveyer belt with not as many booth seating. So if you are coming in a group and would prefer a booth seat, be sure to come much earlier than the lunch or dinner crowd.  We came on a Friday and came at 11.30, there was hardly anyone inside at that time. But even as the time progressed I was surprised that there wasn't a queue outside.

They don't only offer sushi on the belt, they had cheesecake (which wasnt that good), chocolate mud cake, mango pudding...

They also dont charge for the wet napkins like many other places do.

Thumbs up and will definitely be going there again!

Post-Edit: We went back again on a Sunday night around 6.30pm. It was a full house and we noticed the offerrings on the conveyer belt was a bit scarce. Although as time progressed they did do a pretty gpod job at refilling.  You just have to be patient and let the belt go aroumd a few times before you get more choices. There were a few differences this time though, perhaps due to it being a full house,  they gave this ticket stating the time you arrived and the time they expect you to finish by. They only gave us 40mins which I felt was pushing it a little. Even places with express buffets give 60mins. But the time limit was not really enforced perhaps because after a while there were more vacant tables. I do wonder what they would do though. Quietly ask you to finish up or what. Maybe they'd keep an eye on those who arent really eating and who are just sitting around chit chatting. So it's not a really good place for people who want to hang around chit chatting and taking their time to eat. 

Secondly I noticed the sushi with the raw scallop on it that I'd eaten at lunch only came as a single portion, but at lunch was 2 portions.
