Company Overview

Kura Sushi USA, Inc. operates Japanese‐style revolving sushi restaurants across the United States. The company’s concept centers on delivering a modern sushi dining experience by combining fresh ingredients with automated conveyer belt and plate‐return systems. Guests can choose from a broad menu that includes nigiri, sashimi, maki rolls, tempura, udon noodles and chef‐inspired seasonal dishes, all served directly from the conveyor belt or ordered on tabletop touchscreens.

Each restaurant integrates patented technology to ensure food quality and operational efficiency. The automated plate‐return system tracks consumption and triggers freshness checks, while an in‐house purification process maintains water and fish quality standards. In addition to in‐store dining, Kura Sushi USA supports off-premise channels through its mobile app and third-party delivery partnerships, catering to evolving consumer preferences for convenience and contactless ordering.

Founded as a U.S. arm of Japan-based Kura Sushi Inc., Kura Sushi USA opened its first location in Irvine, California in 2017 and has since expanded into multiple states, including California, Texas and Virginia. Headquartered in Irvine, the company leverages its parent’s decades‐long expertise in conveyer belt sushi to drive growth in the competitive U.S. casual dining market, focusing on new restaurant openings, menu innovation and technology‐driven service enhancements.
