Kura Sushi, known for its revolving sushi bar, is opening its second New Jersey eatery this summer.
The company announced that the new Kura restaurant will open in Jersey City’s Newport Tower at 525 Washington Blvd.
It has yet to announce an official opening date.
Kura Sushi features an extensive sushi bar and an assortment of Japanese dishes, such as teppanyaki, ramen, udon and ojyu.
The eatery’s revolving sushi bar snakes through the dining room with covered plates of sushi.

The express belt — or “sushi highway” — is positioned above the revolving sushi bar.
Guests can place orders using a tablet at their table, and the express belt carries orders directly from the kitchen to them.
