Kura Sushi USA, Inc., is an innovative and tech interactive Japanese restaurant concept established in 2008 as a subsidiary of Kura Sushi, Inc. As pioneers of the revolving sushi concept, the Kura family of companies have improved upon the developed innovative systems that combine advanced technology, premium ingredients, and affordable prices to enhance the unique dining experience. Since the first restaurant opening in 1977, Kura Sushi, Inc. has grown substantially with more than 500 locations across Japan, Taiwan and the United States. Our philosophy of muten or nothing added is an ongoing promise that our food is prepared using fresh, high quality ingredients free of artificial sweeteners, seasonings, preservatives and colorings.
Kura Revolving Sushi Bar is always a great experience! The food is consistently fresh and delicious every time I visit. I love how quickly they refill the sushi on the conveyor belt, so there's always something new to try. The variety is fantastic, and everything tastes so fresh, especially the sushi and appetizers.
The only downside is that parking can be a bit tricky, especially when it's busy, but that's to be expected given the location. Despite that, the food and experience make it well worth the effort. The service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is fun and modern. Overall, I’m always satisfied after dining here and will definitely keep coming back! Highly recommend it for anyone craving great sushi.

I must first note that I generally do not give fast food places more than three stars. Some of the reasons for this are the quality of the food for health, the level of ultra processed ingredients, and overall bang for the buck.
The atmosphere is a techie niche trendoid place meets fast food sushi.
The grade of sushi is just below the sushi at a Whole Foods.
However, the price of the sushi was extremely reasonable.
If you have never been to a sushi bar with a conveyor belt or a restaurant with a serving robot, it is worth going here at least once.
I enjoyed my meal here and had a good time.
For me, the overall bang for the buck is a high three AND I highly recommend trying Kura.

Was curious to see how a conveyor sushi restaurant was like so I went with my dad. It was quite the experience to see a big variety of sushi plated up going around the restaurant for customers to get. The price of each plate of sushi varies from $3 to $6 dollars. If the you are unable to find the sushi your wanting on the line, you can order it via the touch pad and conveyor belt above the general one will bring it to you. Also managed to get a gacha prize key chain after going through 15 plates. The staff were also kind in helping us know the system as first timers. A good place to go with family and friends.

The staff is friendly, helpful, and the food is good! My only two minor qualms are that there often seems to be older sushi pieces left on the conveyor belt, and the poor robots can't keep up with the table drink orders quickly at all.
I feel the staff spends more time dealing with the robots than it would take them to run drink orders.

First to visit but family has been numerous times. Can get expensive at $3.50 per plate but the sushi is fresh and delicious. Wait staff is always available to assist. One pleasant surprise was how good the beef fried rice was. It as possibly the best I have ever had. Will go back to just have the rice, it was amazing.

Atmosphere was nice, Cat robot brings you drinks and actual people dont check up on you unless you ring a bell. If you order anything that's not sushi a belt brings the food.
Portions suck for price sucks. Paid $50 for 3 people and none of us were full. Why pay tip if there was NO HUMAN INTERACTION?
Lack of information on each dish is overwhelming. Doesnt tell the cost of each sushi until you pay. No info as to what the sushi is made of. Each plate has from 1-3 sushi. you have to put all your dishes in a slot at the table.
They had no ramen the night we went.
I would not recommend nor i would come back. I think people go just for the futuristic experience. Sushi taste and quality wasn't worth going back.

First off it can get pricey, but with that said the quality of food is very good. They do not have crab stick - fake, they actually have real crab. The ebi is fresh and raw. The Wasabi is really fresh, grated, and not processed. Service was good and very attentive. Parking can be a pain, but it is the area, not the restaurant fault.

it was our first time, and we were unsure if we should seat ourselves. We noticed immediately that the place smelled STRONGLY of bleach- I tried to ignore it, but it definitely was unappealing, and i ended up developing a headache due to the fumes. The food was delicious- we loved the creative different rolls, even if they are a little pricey. The little keychain machine didn’t work, which was disappointing. The best was-we had such a great experience being served by Jasmine. She happily replaced a spilled drink, was quick to help us clean up, and even gave our daughter an extra keychain. She was so sweet and redeemed the experience for us- we probably wouldn’t return if not for her kindness. Hopefully they take care of the smell soon! Thank you, Jasmine!

As a very happy Google Maps Tour Guide, I’m beyond excited to recommend this Pikman-themed revolving sushi spot celebrating its 15th anniversary! 🎉🍣 The sushi selection was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and filled with unique rolls that made stepping out of my comfort zone a fun adventure. The service was top-notch, with incredibly friendly staff and free refills (except on alcohol) 🥤. A highlight was the adorable robot that brought drinks to our table—a high-tech touch that added even more excitement to the experience 🤖. We also received keychains and chopsticks as keepsakes, and if your table finishes 15 plates, there’s a special prize to top off the fun 🏅. This place is a must for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with friends or family. You’ll leave with a full stomach, great memories, and plans to come back! 😄💕

I observed the sushi chef behind the sushi kitchen window wearing food gloves while preparing sushi and simultaneously using his cell phone. This practice is concerning as it does not meet proper hygiene standards, especially when handling raw fish. The chef appears to be the primary sushi chef, and if he is not adhering to clean food preparation practices, it raises questions about the standards followed by the rest of the staff. I am genuinely concerned about this matter.

This is my first trip to Kura (Buford) location and let me tell you: compared to the Doraville location, this place has absolutely less to offer with little menu options. The nigiri offered was multiple salmon dishes and nothing else. The beef seemed stale and sauce was cold and underwhelming. The one piece of crab was so menial and sad I was upset I opened the dome. The hand roll was pretty good as it was fresh. This menu is about half of what the Doraville location offers. There was mostly no sushi revolving and we were there a little after restaurant opened. The only good thing I can say is that the staff were friendly and they have clean bathrooms. The lack of options were terrible. Would not go back to this location again. Left hungry and disappointed.

The place has honestly gone downhill since it opened about a year ago. Last time I went was a weekend lunch and the conveyor belt was really barren so we ended up having to order most of our food off the screen. The only reason I'd really come here is if they're doing a collab with an IP that you like, because the Revolving Sushi Factory that is five minutes away is a far better deal unless you're someone who eats super little.

Went for lunch, greeted by "Rob Lucci", he set us up and we figured out the ordering interface. The robot that delivers drinks is such a cool "waiter", thorough entertained the whole table, especially young child. Getting food right off the belt was easy, finish and dump into the slot. Ordered food zips to table on top belt. Food did get repetitive after a while, but still tasty. Price is high, the eating experience is a novelty. Another waiter, Jesus was very attentive, came by to check on us and cleared out bowls. Seamless check out through self payment, & note - try to open a Kura account, gets some nice starting perks. Depending on promotion period, there are some neat snacks and "prizes" from the machines too.

I loved the robot waiter that brought drinks and the conveyer that sent out my order of ramen!
My only complaint is you should NOT sit 6 grown-sized people at a table. I wasn't a fan of "a kid's eyelashes brushing the food" as it passed the table before ours. I understand it's not an all open container however, people can breathe or cough and their germs would make it into the little hole where the lever is.

We love coming to this sushi spot. We have tried many different sushi places around and we always come back here. It is by far the best one, food is fresh, waiters are welcoming and all around just a cool place to eat at. We have brought friends and they all agree that this is the best sushi they’ve been around the area. Leonardo, the waiter is always super accommodating with us, specially when we bring the entire fam, always smiling, last time he gave one of our kids a toy… also you can get points and as you get more you can use them towards paying off your bill. The only reason atmosphere gets 4 stars is because it’s cold in there

Food was pretty good, especially the spicy tuna hand roll. The problem is when you order, it takes a while….would be nice to grab a plate from the conveyor belt and start eating while you wait for your order except for the conveyor belt had no food on it the whole time I was there. I stayed for over an hour only because I had to wait for my order. I don’t understand why the plates were empty on the conveyor belt and had to order instead. Maybe short staffed? That is everywhere and if you cannot come up with a better solution then you are probably going to lose customers. Also I didn’t tip my server because there were no service provided by any of the workers there. No greetings, no checking up on orders or the food, none whatsoever. The whole experience sucked.

Don't waste your time at this location
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how poorly the Buford Kura is being run so you don't waste your time like we did. My family loves going to Kura for special occasions and yesterday we decided to go to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.
We typically go to the Doraville Kura which has always been a great experience but this time we chose Buford since it was near the Mall of Georgia.
As soon as we walked in we heard something wet sounding and saw we were both standing in someone’s spilled drink. Not a great start but not the end of the world.
Next we were seated and to my surprise there was little to no food on the conveyor belt. If this was a packed restaurant I’d be more understanding but it was half full at best. It took 10 minutes for a water and coke to be delivered since the robot was broken and the final insult to the experience was that the One Piece exclusive merch and food wasn’t even available except for the pins.
We gave it a good 15-20 minutes thinking the kitchen had run behind but after there was no improvement we paid and left to go to another restaurant . One of the worst run restaurants I’ve ever been to.
We've spent hundreds with Kura over the past few years but this was such a disappointment that we'll likely start looking at other restaurants in the future.

I’ve been to the Kura in Dunwoody plenty of times, all of which were great experiences. This is the second time we’ve been to the Kura in Buford and left disappointed both times. Biggest issue is that literally ALL of the plates get to our table empty. We sat there for about 30 minutes today, 1:30pm on a Saturday, and were able to get one plate of a roll and one plate of watermelon. Everything else, we had to order from the screen, which defeats the purpose of going to a revolving belt-style sushi restaurant. IMHO, if you want a quality selection, great service and a good atmosphere, and you are looking for this style of sushi in the Buford area, go to Revolving Sushi Factory. We’ve been there a bunch and it’s always been a great experience.
Side note. The ELL sauce at Kura in Buford tastes nothing like the one in dunwoody. It tastes like straight molasses. And the crispy rice that is served as a sushi dish was stale AF and room temperature.

I really was not a fan of this place. When you show up you have to put your name on a tablet that's outside the door. Then when they alert you in to check in they make you go back outside. (The staff got on to us for blocking the entrance. So I'm baffled, why call us to come in if you're not ready???)
Most of the plates that were on the conveyor belt were empty and we rarely saw food go by. The majority of our dinner came from direct ordering. We ordered tempura, and that was canceled because they said they ran out of rice. Getting refills took forever.... I feel like this place is more about excitement over a cool concept, but not implemented well.

Terrible service. For a place that was practically empty none of the sushi plates were filled. They were always empty. It takes 15 min just to get a classic roll to come around. We decided to order rolls to our table instead and they never came. We pressed the ordering machine to call for a waitress and she never came. We decided to leave and just saw the workers all talking in the corner. I won’t come here again. Save your energy and get the same grade sushi at Publix. If I could give 0 stars I would.

I tried this place for the first time and was underwhelmed. The way things work is fine - you sit next to a revolving conveyor belt and grab the plates you want as they go by and order everything else on a touchscreen or your phone. Drinks are brought to the table by a robot but food ordered through the touches arrives on a higher level conveyor belt. We mostly ate sushi but did order a few things separately. The sushi was just okay. There was only one type that we flat out disliked. The rest were just...fine. We tried edamame and were so disappointed. It was ice cold and not seasoned at all. We ordered miso soup which was salty and had way too much seaweed. And I like seafood. But I wanted miso soup, not seaweed soup. I couldn't finish it. The things we ordered through the touchscreen took way too long to come. We had to check in with our server to make sure it was still coming. The teriyaki chicken was...fine. It was also pretty overpriced. I don't feel like the price we paid matched the quality of what we got. I don't think we'll be back.

Went there for dinner with my husband for a fun date. It was anything but. We got seated quickly and thought we would have a lot of choices of sushi on the belt. This was not the case. There are not a lot of selections and the ones I did try were stale with the rice being hard. Overall, the sushi, which is in their name was not good at all.
Then we ordered a ramen, for $10 it tasted worse than a bag ramen I can make at home. We couldn't even take more than two bites.
The ambience also feels crowded. It was not relaxing and felt like I couldn't have a conversation with my husband, especially one I didn't want anyone else to hear.
At this point we decided to not waste our time or money and checked out.
$40 for 5 plates of sushi - I really tried to like it - and 1 bowl of ramen.
I do not recommend. I've been to Revolving Sushi Factory just a few miles down the road and had the best time there with so many options. I'll be going there from now on.

Venue was freezing. Had multiple crab dishes that tasted spoiled. Even the green tea had a tainted taste. Bowls of food are tough to get off conveyor as your have to lift a plastic lid and the plate must be unlatched basically. Not the cleanest place as you can see fully directly into the kitchen. The tablets for ordering were also filthy with food and handprints.

This restaurant has the perfect balance of energy and calm for a laid back meal on your own, a fun date, or a group outing. The food is always delicious, the staff is friendly, and the little robot is always happy to deliver your drinks with a playful wink.

I traveled with my boyfriend and a bunch of friends from out of state.Everyone wanted sushi so we decided to go here.The atmosphere of the restaurant was cool but it wasn't something I liked.The robot that brought drinks to you was pretty cool.Customer service was lacking tremendously.And there was not a way to customize food on the touch screen.I am vegetarian so there was Ramen but the tofu was grose.I had super limited options.They had French fries.If you are vegetarian or vegan I do not recommend.

Sushi looks like its been left out there for a long time. My waiter was weird and kept on staring at me because I also bought some food but its for tomorrow but she kept on looking if i was eating my burger when im eating sushi at a sushi place. The employees didn't serve me or anything but they stare down at you for not tipping. Majority of the time it was the robot doing the serving. Management needs to do better and give their employees a better pay so they dont have to act like this.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Sushi is pretty good and also have good ramen and udon, would rate food 8/10. Service is great, the robots do most of the delivering to you, makes it a really unique experience, would recommend going.

This location (Buford) is hit or miss for me. I have been a few times and it has been amazing, but for the most part I always leave a little disappointed. There is either nothing out on the rotating bar, so I have to special order everything I want, or they don't have every day items that I want available at all. The wait for drinks the last couple of times I've been to this location has been over 15 minutes and that's just too long. I've also been to the location in Doraville several times and never had these issues so I think I will just stick to going there, instead of to Buford. It's too long of a drive for disappointment.

I went today with my family and it was pretty empty. We were excited to take my picky son because we knew he would be interested by the toys and the sushi belt. Immediately when we sat down I noticed that it smelled like rotten bar rag and there were oily spots everywhere. I looked to the table next to me and same thing. I was a little disgusted but went against my gut and stayed since the family was excited. There were barely any plates on the belt as it wasn’t that busy so we began ordering from the screen. The screen was disgusting and I became more and more aware of the fingerprints, old dirty condiments, and oily plates with spots as we progressed through the meal. I wasn’t expecting 5 stars people. I have eaten at Kura at different locations for many years. Today was disgusting. When the staff cleaned the table next to us I got a fresh whiff of the rotten bar rag, which I believe was a contributing factor to the oily film everywhere. It was horrible. I already know raw fish can contain pathogens and other disgusting creatures but I love it so much but I have been pushing past it when I go to sushi. That may change after this experience. This place seemed like a breeding ground for bacteria and other nasties today. I went home and brushed my teeth and it almost came back up. I will never go back here again if the conditions remain as they were today.

All the plates that come by were empty except for the ones nobody wanted. When I ordered off the tablet it took over 20 minutes to get food. Overall I was not impressed at all and would rather go to revolving sushi bar by the mall.

Kind of expensive and not as many non sushi options as I hoped. No Sashimi which my daughter likes and the Inari kept coming around empty and didn’t get refilled. And the robot never brought us our drink but a human did. To be fair I’ve had conveyor belt sushi in Japan so I’m spoiled.

First We were turned down when asked to change the table that nobody was sitting at. Sushi was pretty good except fried eel nigiri which was rock hard and cold. Next we found a piece of hair stuck on the chicken we ordered as a side. Server took it without saying what will be done. We didn’t specifically ask what we wanted instead of that thinking there will be a protocol. Had 20plates no surprise toy was coming down. We had to ask for it at the end and she brought it. no signage saying what the min. plate is needed for the toy. Went ahead with check out and found out we were charged for the chicken with the hair stuck on. She took the check back removed it. Oh we also had free ice cream bc it was my sons bday and kura was his choice for the day.
Total was about 90 dollars + tip. Were we all full? No. Was my son happy? Mostly- a little sad he didnt get the toy from the machine. With all the hassle and amount of food and level of service was I happy? No it was after too many dirty looks. really could have spent the money elsewhere for better quality of food and service.

So if you are not familiar, Kura sushi brand does originate from Japan and it is probably the second biggest conveyor belt 100-yen sushi (aka fast-food sushi) after Sushiro. Because of my work I have visited this brand restaurant in Japan many many times but the first time ever here in the States. I must say I was pleasantly surprised because the interior including the automated tablet style ordering computer was matching exactly the same you would see in Japan even down to the font style. Heck, the machine actually speaks Japanese when the system delivers your special-ordered sushi (just like ones in Tokyo). Of course, the price is three-fold thanks to the USD/JPY exchange rate.
One thing bothered me was that even though the restaurant follows the exact same principle as they do in Japan (making it completely automated to lower the labor cost), the final bill does ask for tipping. I would not mind paying the tip if there was reasonable human interaction but even the water and drinks are delivered by the robot and you have virtually zero human interaction after the server sits you at the table. I don't know if servers are being paid reduced hospitality service hourly rate because it's still a restaurant in the US... But if servers are getting just regular hourly pay then the restaurant ought to notify the guests that tipping is not necessary unless exceptional service.
Overall, a positive experience but be warned - it's not a fancy sushi place. This is a moderate, fast-food style sushi joint that's relatively affordable to the general public. They envisioned the brand that way in Japan.

Edit update 4/16--
I came in the other day and I am an avid Kura eater (honestly probably eat here to much lol) I usually go to Doraville because (imo) its way better. I feel like this location has kept going down. When I came here the past few times it took them a while to stop talking around the corner to seat me and I had a piece of salmon(raw) that didn't taste right. Kinda skeeved me out a little bit. I will say their seared salmon ALWAYS comes out perfect now but idk staff doesn't seem to care and the food quality and service seemed to have decreased a bit.
Old review--
I came in when they first opened. There was a few issues I noticed that the Kura in Doraville suffered with at first.
- First was the coke was flat. They came and took them back and said they would bring us more but never came back. It then became an issue taking it off the check.
- The meat slices that go on top of the sushi were much smaller than the Doraville location.
- The seared salmon was not warm at all and the mayo on top tasted slightly off.
- the seared beef with yakiniku sauce was also cold.
- I had to convince them they had ponzu sauce. No one knew what it was.
I was a little sad this location didn't quite hit the mark like Doraville does but I will be back once they fix these issues.

Atmosphere was nice, Cat robot brings you drinks and actual people dont check up on you unless you ring a bell. If you order anything that's not sushi a belt brings the food.
Portions suck for price sucks. Paid $50 for 3 people and none of us were full. Why pay tip if there was NO HUMAN INTERACTION?
Lack of information on each dish is overwhelming. Doesnt tell the cost of each sushi until you pay. No info as to what the sushi is made of. Each plate has from 1-3 sushi. you have to put all your dishes in a slot at the table.
They had no ramen the night we went.
I would not recommend nor i would come back. I think people go just for the futuristic experience. Sushi taste and quality wasn't worth going back.

First to visit but family has been numerous times. Can get expensive at $3.50 per plate but the sushi is fresh and delicious. Wait staff is always available to assist. One pleasant surprise was how good the beef fried rice was. It as possibly the best I have ever had. Will go back to just have the rice, it was amazing.

Walked in on a quiet Thursday afternoon. There were maybe one or two tables there when I walked in. I stood there for 5-10 minutes just looking at the worker talking to his friends. I finally asked “ do we sit whenever? “ because it was my first time there. The worker with the glasses and beard proceeds to continue his conversation with his coworker and says to us “ I’m sorry it’s just me today “. When he said that I could do nothing but laugh. He saw us walk in, he had no tables to attend and he kept staying in the back laughing and talking to his friends and co worker. Most of the sushi that came out was wet. The rice breaks apart as soon as you lay a finger on it. The food was bearable but that employee was nothing but disrespectful.

I love going to Kura both here and Doraville but the last two visits in the last two weeks have been the worst experiences I’ve had at Kura. No food on the belt; basically everything had to be ordered which makes it more fresh but it took 10 minutes to arrived instead of the 6 the tablet said it would. It is sad to see a popular restaurant fall in quality and service. Lastly both times my favorite dessert: the Hokkaido milk tarts were unavailable. Hopefully management will get their act together soon.

Okay, sushi 🍣. As with most sushi restaurants in Georgia, there's not a good variety of fish to choose from. Nothing compared to the Pacific coast or the Far East, where you have a vast selection of raw fish to choose from. This place is still good, though.

One of the better revolving sushi bars at which I have gone. The mechanisms to keep the sushi on the belt are a bit over-the-top and hard to use, but other than that, the pricing was reasonable for the quality of sushi and food. Will definitely be returning.

My 2nd time, tried both locations. Kura brings the novelty of conveyor sushi to Georgia. I just wish their price/experience was better. For the same price you can get a better quality, more authentic, experience with sushi. Is it incredibly accessible to people who are new or afraid of the authentic experience? Yes. Is it overpriced and underwhelming? Yes. A small plate of "teriyaki chicken" was almost $9...sorry no that's approaching entree prices, again a better experience can be found for at or below these prices.

Food is ok, a little over priced. Food variety is limited, could be because we arrived a little late in the hour. The entrance procedure is very confusing (asking customers to check in on a machine outside of the door and wait outside, but no one called us in even though the restaurant is nearly empty).

I don’t ever leave reviews but our server today, Aliyah, was honestly so sweet and attentive. She would often come by and see how everything was and would apologize when she felt like she didn’t get to us on time (which we didnt see a problem!).
She started doing a fun little trivia with us for prizes and included my 5 year old daughter in it as well— she loved it!
The food was good and we love coming here for my 5 year old to eat and stay entertained.
I will say, this is my second time coming (we came in around 2pm) and the food and service was a lot better than our first time (got there around 8pm).

This place has been open since I think May 2023, so it's super clean, bright, and the young woman that seated us and kept our drinks refilled was very friendly and more than willing to help us navigate thru their procedures. First, a robot delivered our drinks and even winked at us! He/it said if we needed anything else, it would be happy to provide it 😆! Then my niece proceeded to order cooked rolls bc on the revolving bar, which was mostly raw sushi rolls (we did arrive as the doors were opening). Everything was fresh and very tasty. The plates are $3.40, and each plate has 2-4 pcs. We tried an appetizer that was $5.50 that had 4 chicken gyzo (sic) that were freshly deep fried and oh so good! Then we started with the cooked rolls on the little saucers like tiger roll, crunchy shrimp rolls, crunchy spider rolls (delicious), dragon roll, and one more butter don't remember the name but I remember it was excellent 😋! Then, for dessert, my niece had the strawberry mochi, and she really liked it not my cup of tea I think bc the texture reminds me of fondant which I'm not a fan of so I had Taikai vanilla ice cream with red bean paste in a fish shaped thick cookie with the red bean paste inside. It was so good that I can't wait to go back just for that dish! Our total was $43 b4 she added a 20% tip that goes to either the refill server or robot? Or maybe the sushi chefs in the back? Who cares it was well worth it. Thanks Kura for a wonderful lunch and experience! I will be visiting again very soon.

Delicious! I ordered online and arrived early to pick up. Staff notified us that they were in the process of making my order. They walked it outside, and provided all the sauces/condiments without me asking. Everything was extremely fresh, and hot (fried rolls) and very good. I can't wait to come back and dine in.

We were craving sushi so decided to check out this place. The food is ok, but
It is ridiculously expensive especially for the small portion they serve. I got the udon noodle soup and it was almost $11!! Definitely not worth the price. I also order French fries and there's literally 10 small fries and some crumbs in the bowl. Got charged $5.50 for it. Probably not coming back.

What a fun sushi spot!! My husband surprised me with lunch at Kura today and we both enjoyed the experience. Our server was very informative on how everything worked and the process was easy. This was great for us because we always stick to the same 2 or 3 types of "safe sushi" we know and enjoy, but Kura gave us an opportunity to branch out and try new things at an affordable price. Hubby's favorite was the Kumamoto Wagyu and I enjoyed the Tiger Roll. He got the strawberry mochi for dessert and I had the Japanese Soy Milk Donuts. Both were delicious. We'll definitely be recommending Kura to friends and family!

Make sure to get fresh ginger and wasabi trays from people seated prior! Don’t let them seat you at the bar especially the end of the bar! Newbie mistake. You won’t get a thing! We literally saw people dipping their chopsticks in those ginger containers and the servers/staff didn’t think to replace when seating us. We had to ask. They have a lot of people (teens) standing around. So be sure to ask. Overall it’s ok but the hygiene could be better.
