Marinepolis Sushi Land

The manager guy is a jerk to the wait staff and comes across very uninviting to the customers. Only reason they get two stars is because I like the calamari!

No, this is not somewhere to go if you are expecting unique and extraordinary sushi. But for the price and the selection, it is perfect. The miso soup is not the best, but it is warm on a rainy day and fits the bill. My partner and I stuffed ourselves and walked away paying $ 19 dollars for both of us. I would recommend the vegas roll. The fish all seemed fresh and the staff was friendly.

The best sushi spot around downtown. Super cheap and tasty seared salmon. Worth going twice a week. I know I am.

Decent sushi, but plan to be there before 11:30 for lunch unless you want to wait. Friendly staff. They are pretty good with off the trolley orders, although they were out of uni twice in a row. Not cool, yo.

Nothing fancy, just good and value for money sushi… Great pricing, good service and food. Food doesn’t always need to be fancy…

Been to Sushiland at this location several times over the years. The staff is friendly and the sushi is fresh and inexpensive. However, do not order the green tea– every time I do it smells and looks like pond water. They need a better way to brew it or clean the machine they use. I’m not one to be picky, but seriously the green tea is atrocious.

Been coming into this Sushiland for almost a year now. It never stops to please me and my limited budget. I’ve actually learned how to make a good meal go a long way for less than $ 14.
Quality wise it is not the absolute best. But for the price, the quality is perfect. I am always popping in and shoveling down the salmon nigiri all the time. On occasion I always order a rainbow roll or a Vegas roll. I actually recommend the vegas roll! Be mindful of one thing however. On occasion the chefs will try to inform you there is already that item on the train. Rule of thumb for anyone, if a dish has been on the train for more than 3 full revolutions (10 – 15 minutes). It is no longer considered fresh. So make sure to ask nicely that you want a fresh one made.
Recommended dishes are as follows
$ 1.50: Salmon
$ 2.00: Prime Tuna (I use this as a palate cleanser)
$ 3.00: Vegas Roll, Caterpillar Roll, Rainbow Roll
$ 3.00: They have a special seared salmon roll you have to ask about. It’s very delicious!

Easy, fast, tasty, and cheap. I stop in during off times and never have to wait. Always a relaxed time. Easy to sit on my own with a book. Prefer nice Pearl location over fluorescent feeling Lloyd spot. Esp after dark.

I spent the day in Portland with a friend and we decided to check out the Sushi Train at マリんポリス. I was especially curious since I just spent several years living in Japan and sushi trains are a favorite past time of mine, but I have never been to one in the U.S.
I have to say that it certainly exceeded my expectations of what a sushi train would be like in the States. Just like Japanese sushi trains, it was quick, cheap, and easy. Better yet though was that the sushi was legitimately very good. This restaurant definitely sized up to what you can expect from many sushi places in Japan. Very authentic experience.
The wait staff was efficient and very friendly.
I definitely plan to do more weekend trips to Portland and I think that this sushi will be in my future again.
I highly recommend it if you want good sushi that is readily and quickly available while not paying a premium.

This place pleased this American palate. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that this place isn’t very authentic, but it was still quite enjoyable.
The raw fish specials were fresh, and the ones we had were tasty. The guys working the sushi bar were attentive and the music wasn’t too loud. The place was popular on a sunny Sunday at dinner, but we didn’t have to wait for seating. All in all, we will likely return next time we’re in the area and have a hankering for sushi.

Excellent place for good and inexpensive sushi. The sashimi is fresh although not cut by a sushi master, The conveyor belt is kept full but it sometimes hard to know how fresh some of the items are.
I love to take friends and family from the Midwest to experience good sashimi so they can try a variety at a reasonable price.

Food n server is the worst l. I am serious. When I order drink, server gave us soy sauce plate. But she throw them. And I always got wrong order. They didn’t be willing to listen our order. I was really disappointed. Don’t go there, if u want to get good service and food.

I have always been a fan of sushiland! I think they have nice sushi, good prices, a place I like to go frequently.
However, this last Sunday I went to Sushiland and found a worm inside my edamame. I was pretty horrified, I think I ate half of it. I showed the server, and she was nice about it. She went and showed her manager, and said they would comp the $ 1 plate, but wouldn’t take anything else off our $ 10 meal. The manager did not come and talk to me. I understand vegetables have bugs sometimes, but this felt like a inappropriate way to handle a customer not only finding an insect, but ingesting the insect. The server was really nice, and she felt really bad about the incident. I didn’t hear from management, they only took a dollar off my meal.
I’m afraid if I go back I will find another worm. I wonder how many people this has happened to. They probably just buy lower quality ingredients, who knows.

I love this restaurant and always have. Many complain that it isn’t the «highest quality» sushi but this place is amazingly affordable and serves an awesome selection. They are constantly updating the menu with new items and are always willing to cook up something for you if you ask. My favorite dishes are: creamy scallop, beef udon, spicy tuna hand roll and just a classic seared salmon. I love to stop by after work and grab a quick 5 — 7 dollar bite. That usually includes a spicy tuna hand roll, and two sets of salmon plus something random :)! These guys are great!

One of my favorite places for conveyor belt sushi! I almost always order from the chefs. Everything is freshly made, tasty and cheap. Not the best or freshest sushi but has never failed to curb my sushi cravings when I’m on a tight budget. This is my comfort food and my splurge for variety without breaking the bank.
Workers are always pretty friendly and will come over to take your order when you flag them down. I love how they serve alcohol in the upstairs area.

This place is always a decent spot for casual dining. Decent prices, service, and sushi. Nothing exceptional about this place but it’ll do.

This place is right on the corner of 10^th and couch, right next door to the little big burger if you happen to also want a burger or some of their amazing truffle fries. I’ve been coming here for quite some time now and it’s always hit or miss, the service not always the best, but what do you expect from conveyer belt sushi? Also you should try to avoid this place on a busy day, a wait can be a long time but hey lucky you there is a place you can get some fries while you wait next door.
The food isn’t always the best however; after multiple times of coming here or any conveyer belt sushi you learn that you should be ordering stuff if you want it freshly made and not sitting on the belt for god knows how long it may have been there, especially for the items that should be served hot like baked mussels, calamari, etc. Unless you saw them freshly made it and placed on there then you should grab those up before the shy people snag them all before it even reaches the next corner.
There are always some great dishes if you’re looking for a cheap meal. Lots of the dishes are priced reasonably so don’t be afraid of just splurging on $ 1.00 dishes if those are your favorite, because I know I like myself a freshly made house roll with some spicy mayo on the side.

So, FIRST OFF, it turns out that since these crummy reviews Sushiland has had a full turn over of staff. So seriously consider ignoring ALL 1star reviews about lack of attention, the current waitstaff doesn’t (from my experience today) deserve that kind of slander.
Second, their cuts of fish are fantastic, prices are great, and honestly I did not feel like I waited long at all. Seat yourself, catching eyes with waitstaff isn’t really necessary. They saw you. Oh, they were also really friendly and had a positive sense of humor when I said «hey, you have reaaaallly negative Unilocal reviews, but it’s a bias site, so I came and checked it out. You guys were really great.»
Seriously, it’s a totally new waitstaff, the plates are wonderfully priced, and the quality of the nigiri is beyond most other goarounds. Give it a shot.

My pals and I would hit up the SushiLand in Bellevue all the time back when kaiten was a novelty. I have the fondest memories. I’ve hit up many different SushiLands since.
This one is indeed the worse. You always expect a certain amount of gruffness from kaiten because they’re operating with such low margins and because the experience seeks to keep human interaction to a minimum. That said, this SushiLand takes it to a fresh new low. I wince every time I see somebody order something only to have cooks point to an available plate on the belt. The business is hurt immensely by the difficulty of ordering anything since cooks are extremely avoidant. If you are a frequenter of kaiten, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about but SushiLand Pearl is certainly the stuff of nightmares.
The good news is that this can all be happily circumvented by to-​go ordering. Each time I’ve done this I’ve been surprised by how fresh everything is and how prompt they are not to mention cheap. I recommend to-​go wholeheartedly.

The wait was forever on a saturday night. They ended up kicking some people out of their booth in order to sit us, which i’m not sure how I felt about that, especially if they were me.
For some reason the loft area was closed, which would have made for a much less crowded space.
We asked for some tea while we waited, and it smelled like miso/​burnt hair, which is not what I expected when i put it to my mouth. But it didn’t taste bad.
Finally, we dug in. The first thing I had was absolutely amazing. We all wanted plates and plates of it, but when we asked out server what it was so we could order more, she had no idea.
So we made a dinner out of $ 1/​$ 2 plates, leaving with such small bills that it was worth it.
As we were leaving, i read the special on the board. It was the one we had been asking about. The server didn’t even know the special well enough that we described it to her and she said she’s never even heard of it before. Shouldn’t they be advertising their specials?
