There's a place here where you sit at a counter and little boats float by with sushi on it. Way cooler than the conveyor belt. But that chain (genki sushi) is way more popular.

There used to be a place in downtown Seattle called the Iron Horse that would actually deliver your food to your table by model train. I understand there are similar places still out there, but this particular one is now long gone.
