When a sushi you want goes by, you can just grab it, and if the dish you want isn't on the belt, you can order it by tablet. I liked that a lot.

Table sauces and wasabi

The tables at Special Sushi Osan Branch are stocked with pickled scallion (rakkyo), ginger, soy sauce and more to go with your sushi. The sushi does not come with wasabi by default. For anyone looking for sushi in Osan, let me walk you through how the place works and what I actually ate!

Why flat-price conveyor sushi is great

When you go for sushi, you always agonize over what to order, right? And sometimes you'd rather taste a little of lots of things than stick to one.

Above all, being able to choose exactly what you want is the biggest charm of conveyor sushi, I think. And what caught my eye most at Special Sushi was the price.

Every sushi plate is ₩1,890!

At some conveyor sushi places the price changes with the plate color, but Special Sushi Osan Branch has one flat price, so you can pick what you want without checking.

Special Sushi Osan Branch runs as a conveyor-belt restaurant, so you can watch the sushi come around the table and choose what you want to eat.

You watch the sushi pass by and snatch whatever tempts you, so there's less waiting around for an order, and it's fun to taste lots of different sushi one by one.

The sushi I ate at Special Sushi Osan Branch

Futomaki

First, the futomaki (thick sushi roll) has a big, eye-catching look. It's fun to take a huge bite, and it stands out when you want something different among all the sushi.

The fun of picking from the belt! Half the joy of a conveyor sushi place is seeing what comes around. At Special Sushi Osan Branch too, I watched the belt and picked out the sushi I wanted one at a time.

Beef tartare sushi

Beef tartare sushi (yukhoe chobap) has a different charm from ordinary fish sushi. You get the distinct flavor of Korean raw beef in sushi form, so it's worth a look if you want something unusual.

What I ate was futomaki, beef tartare sushi, salmon sushi, eel sushi, flounder sushi and more. With so many kinds to choose from, it's easy to pick according to your taste.

Eel sushi

Eel sushi is charming for the harmony of the sweet-salty sauce on the eel. It has a different flavor from the plainer fish sushi, so it's nice to pick up between other plates.

Salmon sushi

Salmon sushi is the familiar one that lots of sushi fans reach for. Its soft texture and rich flavor make it a welcome sight when it shows up on the belt.

Flounder sushi

Flounder sushi is appealing for its clean taste and chewy texture. If you like a light, not-too-strong flavor, it's an easy one to enjoy.

Picking through lots of kinds one by one like this, you naturally get curious about new items as well as your usual favorites.

Verdict: Special Sushi Osan Branch, conveyor sushi in Osan

What I liked about Special Sushi Osan Branch is that you pick the sushi you want right off the belt, with a wide range from futomaki to beef tartare, salmon, eel and flounder sushi. Best of all, if the belt doesn't have what you want, you can order by tablet and they make it right away, which was really convenient. If you're looking for a conveyor sushi spot where choosing your own plates is half the fun, give it a look.
