Kula Sushi Irvine renewal open
The Kula Revolving Sushi Bar in Irvine re-opened with new looks.After 10 years of service, the Irvine store decided to reexamine their equipments and did huge renovations. Mr. Fresh was newly introduced, which protects the revolving sushi from dusts. Slightly lift the dish and the cover will be lifted to take the sushi. Mr. Fresh also has a sensor that can detect sushis that have been out for a while and lost freshness. Those will automatically be disposed from the lane. Each seats have touch screen panels so customers can order without waiting, and the selected orders will arrive to the customer’s table from a separate lane. This system made it possible for customers to order menus like: box menu, desserts and especially noodle menus that are hard to put on the revolving lane. Also, “Bikkura Pon” was introduced where customers can get prizes when they eat 15 plates. This is a popular game in Kula Japan that customers love. More seats are added with the new waiting system in use as well. Kula has monthly fairs featuring different Japanese ingredients. Starting from April 14th is the “All Japan Fair” featuring local specialties from all over Japan.
