Sushi, ramen, hibachi and dessert will be served on the revolving belt at Hokkaido, a Bethel Road restaurant opening soon.
Columbus Monthly’s Best Restaurants list
What are the best restaurants in Columbus? Here are Columbus Monthly’s choices for 2025
While sushi is a common dish in Columbus, revolving sushi bars with all-you-can eat menus are harder to come by. Hokkaido Revolving Sushi Bar, opening soon at 1466 Bethel Road, will help to fill that gap. The business model allows for a two-hour seating for $35.95. In addition to sushi, guests can order appetizers, poke bowls, hibachi and ramen. There is a fee for uneaten leftovers (which cannot be carried out) and prices are lower for weekday lunches.
