The popularity of conveyor belt sushi continues to grow with a new location in the Puyallup South Hill area. Smaller than other Sushi Land locations in Tukwila, Bellevue, and Lynnwood, this newest Sushi Land sits amid the hustle and bustle of Meridian Avenue. The belt smoothly glides along a large rectangular track - a moving display of color-coded plates carrying single serving portions of salmon, seaweed salad, unagi, edamame, and more. Color dictates price, and special items - udon noodles, desserts, octopus - can be ordered from the chefs or from beverage servers.

At first we were resentful of the small portions - only two pieces to a plate and the special order items were served in square dishes that looked to hold a measured cup and no more. At the end of the meal we were glad, though; we ate less and tried a variety of things we wouldn't have had room for had portions been larger. For dessert, we had apple turnovers à la egg roll. The deep-fried, crisp egg roll wrapper held cooked apple and spices just begging for a scoop of ice cream with caramel.
