Kura Sushi, a Japanese restaurant popular for its revolving sushi bar, opened its second New Jersey location.

The Japanese-based chain opened in Jersey City’s Newport Tower at 525 Washington Blvd. on Nov. 27.

Kura Sushi features an extensive revolving sushi bar and an assortment of Japanese dishes, such as teppanyaki, ramen, udon and ojyu.

The restaurant’s express belt, or “sushi highway,” carries orders directly from the kitchen to guests. Guests can place orders using tablets at their table.

Kura made its Garden State debut in 2020 in Fort Lee.

The company originally opened in Japan in 1977. It now operates over 480 locations throughout Japan and more than 35 in Taiwan.

There are currently 42 Kura locations throughout the United States.
