Okinawa sushi & more in Bensheim

Delicious food, clean, and a great selection! Book early and you'll get a great spot.

Super delicious and very friendly staff. The food on the conveyor belt was constantly being refilled, even though it was very busy, the staff kept up.

Sushi off the conveyor belt for once. After a stressful day at work, we stopped in spontaneously during the week. Although it was very busy, everyone was friendly, and the manager apologized for the delay. Which really wasn't a problem. Upon request, the waitress prepared a sushi platter for three. A truly wonderful way to end the day.

I visited Okinawa in Bensheim (Berliner Ring 89) and had mixed impressions. The service was generally okay: The waiters were friendly and attentive, orders were taken promptly, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant. There's nothing to complain about here. The conveyor belt sushi, however, was disappointing. The selection was very limited, so you quickly felt like you were seeing the same dishes repeatedly. Some of the pieces didn't seem fresh – the taste gave the impression that older leftovers or just the end pieces were being offered. This is a shame for a sushi restaurant, as you would expect a greater variety and, above all, freshness. I also ordered a portion of fried noodles outside of the all-you-can-eat menu. Unfortunately, the portion was very small, especially for the price, and the taste was rather unspectacular. Overall, I have mixed feelings: Pros: friendly service, pleasant atmosphere. Cons: Sushi quality and selection, portion size of à la carte dishes. I therefore give it 3 out of 5 stars – it wasn't a complete failure, but there is significant room for improvement, especially with the sushi, which should be the heart of the restaurant.

Always great ❤️ I've always been satisfied!

Best sushi restaurant in the area. All-you-can-eat from the conveyor belt for €35. Simply delicious.

The sushi is delicious. The conveyor belt was always freshly refilled. The service was very friendly.

I've been going to Okinawa for years and have generally been very satisfied. The food is consistently excellent, the ambiance is lovely, and the service is generally friendly and attentive. However, there have been some minor situations in the past that have bothered me. For example, at the conveyor belt: We had reserved a table days in advance and were still seated near the back. We all wanted mochi ice cream, but it never made it to us because other guests grabbed it along the way. So we specifically ordered it from a waitress, and she wanted to take care of it, which she did. She notified the front of the line and had it put back on the conveyor belt instead of bringing it to us. Of course, it didn't arrive – quite frustrating. The biggest disappointment so far, however, occurred on August 20, 2025, when we were there with over 10 people for my nephew's first day of school. My newly enrolled child was charged a reduced price (approx. 60%) for the all-you-can-eat meal, which is perfectly fine—after all, children don't eat that much. What I found absolutely outrageous, however, was that a child not even 2 years old was charged almost €10 just for trying two pieces of sushi from their father's plate. These were billed as yellow plates from the conveyor belt. This was a truly unpleasant surprise—especially compared to the competition, which is usually more generous and child-friendly in such cases. Therefore, I can only give it 3 stars at best.

As a farewell to my active duty, I received a hotel overnight stay in Bensheim and a voucher for the Okinawa restaurant. I had reserved the table weeks ago, and now it was supposed to be a lovely evening with my wife. Unfortunately, an "animal emergency" meant we couldn't leave Wiesbaden until much later. Fearing we'd arrive in Bensheim about 15 minutes later than agreed, we called the restaurant while we were on the road. During the call, we were told that the 15-minute delay would be deducted from our 90-minute (!) time slot, and that we would be allowed to stay at the reserved table accordingly shorter. We hurried and arrived at the Okinawa five minutes late. Then we had another shock: In the rush to leave, we had left the voucher at home—our problem, of course. Nevertheless, we politely asked if the restaurant could possibly verify the voucher's issuance. The good news: The restaurant's emails actually contained the relevant transaction, including the amount of the voucher. The bad news: The manager refused to honor this voucher because it listed a number, which we couldn't present... No matter, to avoid completely ruining the evening, we decided to pay ourselves. The somewhat dingy daily menu presented to us didn't convince us, so we opted for the sushi meal after all. Unfortunately, the waiter didn't inform us of the choice between individual plate payment and the all-you-can-eat price, which we only later realized we had, nor did they offer us cutlery in addition to the chopsticks. After we took a few plates from the conveyor belt, the empty plates that had accumulated in the meantime were quickly removed. As it turned out later, this left us with no way to document our "consumption"! Neither of us is a big eater - when we asked for the bill (after about 30 minutes), we were both charged the full all-you-can-eat price for Saturday evening, €34.50 per person. We later calculated that if we had paid for individual plates, we would have paid only half that. Conclusion: A standard selection of sushi, no more varied than our local "Mongolian buffet," where, however, the (cheaper!) total price also includes the option of other hot dishes, live cooking, and a large selection of desserts. A 90-minute time slot, which we consider rather unreasonable for the idea of a leisurely meal. And a bill that raises the suspicion of greed on the part of the operators. In summary: We're only guests at Okinawa "twice": the first and also the last!

I loved going there for years but unfortunately these days you can get a weekend surcharge on a Friday when according to my German understanding Saturday and Sunday are still a weekend, and you are immediately politely informed that you have to leave the restaurant after 90 minutes. Other people had reservations that evening and were shown to a table and then told they didn't have a seat and should please leave. The quality and selection have dropped dramatically and the place now seems rancid, including the sanitary facilities. Profit margins of around 500% on the menu are also not to be ignored. The conveyor belt was filled with deep-fried stuff and other things that couldn't be defined. It's not much to do with the sushi it used to be. It's a shame 8 years ago when I was there for the first time, and today it's a world of deterioration. It feels like you have to beg for drinks (and they're ridiculously expensive; 0.2 liter water, which costs €11 per crate at the wholesale market, is sold here for about €3 a bottle. They don't even pour it; it's €2.80 for 24...you can do the math yourself), even though the waiter came to the table about 20 times to clear plates. We ultimately left; we found the service completely inadequate and the prices ridiculously excessive. We won't be back.

We enjoyed going here for six years, but today was the last time! The two of us were there on a Friday evening. We had reserved a table for 5 p.m. in advance. The disappointment began when we couldn't get into the restaurant until 5:05 p.m., and after saying hello, we were told, "You know you can only stay until 6:20 p.m."... Sorry, that's just not the tone of voice. We opted for the all-you-can-eat option at the sushi conveyor belt. The drinks arrived promptly, and the conveyor belt was filled quickly. There were plenty of staff. Some of the food was thrown onto plates and poorly presented. Everything was repeated relatively quickly, with hardly any variety. In terms of taste, it was no longer a culinary highlight, which is why we used to always come by. When clearing our plates, no one thought to ask if we wanted another drink. We would have liked to have another, but unfortunately, no one was interested in serving us. The staff was very young, with an average age of 18-24. The very friendly Asian woman who had managed the restaurant for years was no longer there, and it was noticeable in every way. The four girls were constantly chatting at the bar and were hardly with the customers. My husband was in the bathroom, and it seemed as if the restroom area hadn't been cleaned for a week. The cozy ambiance with light music and a touch of Japanese style was gone. The sushi counter was dirty with crumbs, sauce, and chocolate... Not appealing. Then I thought, come on, dessert will make up for it... Too bad, I was extremely disappointed. The chocolate-covered fruits came straight from the freezer, as did the Hanami Dango balls. They should have thawed them 30 minutes before serving, but even that was asking too much. After 25 minutes of sitting around with no one paying attention, we went to the cash register to pay. Five ladies were chatting at the checkout. When the bill came: 1 small water 1 large Fanta 2 all-you-can-eat drinks For €75.80, my breath caught in my throat! Sorry, no service at an exorbitant price! The lady at the checkout noticed my reaction and asked me if something was wrong... I expressed my frustration. The answer: We always charge a weekend surcharge starting Friday evening! I'm no longer surprised why people aren't going out to eat. If everything had been fine, I'd be the last person who wouldn't have happily paid the price. I can't charge exclusive prices and cut back on everything, such as hygiene, food quality, and well-trained staff. I'm aware that it's difficult to recruit staff, but as the owner, I can set certain standards and train my employees accordingly! Sorry, another store we won't be visiting again... What a shame 😢 Instead of 90 minutes, we left after 45 minutes.

Great food, and if you want, you can sit right at the conveyor belt to pick up your favorite treats. I go there regularly with a friend. We really like it there.

We love Okinawa. The sushi is incredibly fresh and delicious. There's a huge selection, and everything tastes amazing.

Very, very tasty 😋 I can only recommend it to everyone!

The food was delicious and authentic. The prices were really fair. We'd love to come back :)

You can go there once in a while, but to get truly delicious sushi, you should probably order from the menu. The all-you-can-eat conveyor belt wasn't great. It was always the same, there wasn't much selection, and some of the items were even dried out.

The sushi, service, and location were all excellent! We immediately made reservations again and look forward to our next visit. The all-you-can-eat menu is a great value, and the quality is significantly better than in the usual all-you-can-eat restaurants.

It was as always very tasty and the homemade iced tea is highly recommended

The sushi was delicious and the selection was good. Unfortunately, the desserts left a lot to be desired. The price is okay 🙂‍↕️

An enrichment for Bensheim, the Sushi Circle tiptop

It's always very good here. Mochi, sushi, edamame, and gyosa. Highly recommended. The plate dishes are also totally fine.

Delicious food that passes by on the conveyor belt, I can only recommend

Perfect for a running sushi evening

A nice restaurant with conveyor-belt sushi. The service is friendly and relatively attentive. You can carry on a conversation despite the clatter of some plates, and the decor is both modern and traditional.

We are regular guests and really enjoy the sushi. Unfortunately, far from sushi, the dishes are not quite 5 star in terms of taste. The price has become a little more expensive, but the sushi is always of a top quality level. Unfortunately, the restaurant gets a little louder when it is busy. The service here is always top!

We were here on a Saturday. Reservation is required. There is a choice between á la carte and sushi from the conveyor belt. After the shop was renovated (there used to be a Greek man here), I really like the atmosphere. Many service staff were on duty and were well catered for. The menu is very varied and offers food at a high level. Unfortunately my sea bass was baked in the fat for a little too long and some of it was very dry. Other things were excellent. I'll be back :)

Constantly excellent food quality since many years. Never been disapppointed. Very good service as well

Really delicious sushi 👌🏼 Fresh and beautifully prepared

I know that everything is getting more expensive, but now they are around 34 euros for the flat rate and because the individual plate starts at 3.90 euros (? to 5.70 or so), you don't have to think about choosing individual plates. The waitresses were all very nice, but I thought it was a shame when I (the three of us ate and drank) as I was leaving - the place had already become noticeably empty - was not allowed to have some sushi packed by Band for a possibly slightly lower price and bring back to my partner, "because they would be donated." ??? I would have gladly paid for it. And also like to take something with you. That upset me a bit. The sushi was good, the selection wasn't small either, but I was still missing some things that I like to eat elsewhere (nori cones, salmon in cucumber wrap, spicy tuna...). We weren't asked about any requests either, which perhaps makes sense, because if you're sitting at the end of the line, maybe not everything that's placed at the front gets there. So I can't cheer for the money, but it's good. A big plus: the huge parking lot in front of the house. Even though signs say that you're not officially allowed to stand there? (Office people only?)

Very tasty running sushi. Gladly again

Super tasty, everything fresh, very good value for money. Great service!!!! We'll definitely be back

Great food! Only the otherwise friendly waitress tried a bit aggressively to force food on us. When we didn't want dessert, she said that you could share a dessert, other guests would eat a lot more and pointedly left the menu behind. I hope the criticism comes across as constructive, as it disturbs the atmosphere a little :)

Wir durften eine sehr freundlichen und aufmerksames Service erfahren, dazu Köstlichkeiten und angenehmes Ambiente erleben.

Very nice staff. People were asked if they had any special requests. We will definitely come back. Sushi was super tasty.

a nice cozy restaurant. Price-performance ratio is right.. 👍👍

Very tasty and also a treat for the children.

We really enjoyed it. Please clear the table more often. Otherwise everything was great

***** Sushi restaurant like a textbook ***** Per: + great location, good accessibility + large free parking lot + Sushi from the production line or food a la carte + Sushi super fresh + great variety on the line, including fried foods and desserts (tip: waffles!) + super nice and attentive service + all you can eat at lunchtime for a fair price + A la carte dishes super tasty and fresh + Ambience modern, a bit too much “hotel lobby” mmn + clean Cons: --- Conclusion: Perfect sushi restaurant, it doesn't get much better. I give it a fully deserved top rating of 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Good sushi restaurant, fresh preparation, no bottlenecks even at high occupancy times. Friendly staff, good parking nearby.

It's delicious And a great selection of sushi on the line 🍣

**Change Nigiri to burned Nigiri, it is more tasty and same effort 👌

I was there for the first time today. We sat right at the beginning of the production line. Great place. You could easily see the freshly made sushi. The selection was huge on the assembly line. And above all, very tasty. 90 minutes for the all you can eat is completely sufficient. Service was nice too.

Always worth a visit. Great running sushi. But also warm á la carte dishes. Friendly service, modern restaurant. Air-conditioned. Best sushi restaurant on Bergstrasse.

Friendly and clean. Sushi is okay too. I'd recommend visiting here.

This is a sushi restaurant with a nice atmosphere and delicious food. Although it is difficult to see it on the same level as sushi restaurants in Korea or Japan, it is a very good place to go when you want to taste the food of your hometown in a small German town. I enjoyed it and the quality and taste of the fish and other foods were not bad. There are many cooked dishes other than raw fish and sushi, so it's okay to come with people who can't eat raw fish.

The seaweed salad is super tasty

Very tasty Japanese food on the conveyor belt. Everything looks very clean and tidy. The food is excellent and varied. We'd love to come.

This rating only applies to the warm dishes; we did not test sushi. We had a vegetarian dish and one with squid. Both tasted good, but the dishes are generally served with an excessively high sauce ratio. Despite the high occupancy, the service was always friendly and attentive, and the ambience was nice. If you love sushi, this is probably the perfect address. As far as hot Japanese food goes, it was definitely solid or "good", but based on the high ratings I expected more.

The food is great, very tasty sushi, very nice service, we feel comfortable there⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️keep it up. Thank you

.. good taste but we can only stay there for max 90 min and dont forget tp make reservation first :)

Very good sushi off the production line@

Price performance is ok. The quality of the food is not of a high standard, it's just standard all you can eat.

Best sushi in southern Hesse. Large selection and very good quality. If you want to sit on the band, you must make a reservation.

Super tasty sushi in a nice atmosphere. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Definitely not the last visit

Nice sushi shop with running sushi facility. The service is nice, there is parking on site. The prices are good, but in general I would have liked a better or larger selection of sushi.

We always enjoy coming here, the food is excellent. We always book a table in advance and have always eaten a la carte. There are also many tables along the conveyor belt and we always see them well occupied, so it makes sense to reserve in advance here too. The homemade iced tea is to die for. Otherwise we have had sushi in all possible variations but also duck (super crispy) and beef. Everything is always very tasty. The service is always courteous and extremely friendly. As a family with adult children, we always enjoy coming back

Very tasty sushi at reasonable prices. Always my pleasure.

Very tasty running sushi restaurant. The rest of the dishes can also be rated as very good

The sushi is the perfect size per plate. You don't get full from just a few, but you can actually try a lot. The selection is also very good and varied. I really enjoy going there

Very well-kept Asian restaurant. Here you can take a seat at the line and serve yourself or order à la carte at one of the tastefully furnished tables. I prefer the latter. The food is extremely tasty and lovingly prepared, the staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is air-conditioned, which is particularly pleasant on hot days. Nice outdoor area with pond.

Relaxed atmosphere and a pleasant atmosphere for a meal with friends

It was my first time there and I loved the food, the service and that Ambience enthusiastic. Next time we want to sit at the assembly line so that we can sample the food that rolls by as we please. We were advised to reserve well in advance. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Even at the end we were told to look at the invoice to see if there were any incorrect bookings. Super great and praiseworthy 💜 we would love to come back! We had soup, main course sushi, dessert mochi, homemade iced tea and espresso for around €37 per person, which was really good value for money for an evening meal. There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant. We were also able to observe that you can place your order by phone and pick up the food on site.

Quality has deteriorated a lot. I thought I had ordered cold rice😰. Price performance is also zero👆🏼!

We had a reservation for 5:30 p.m., were on time, at 5:45 p.m. the drinks were taken and asked if we would like "all you can eat", the selection was far too small for the high price of €33, this was not the case on previous visits, fried things only came at the end, dessert only at the very beginning and immediately at the end, where we were asked to leave before we were allowed to finish our chocolate fruits because the next guests were already waiting (it was 7:03 p.m.). 90 minutes back or forth but then the next table reservation should at least be planned with a small buffer. Especially since you can say that the other tables were there before us and were still helping themselves to the buffet after us. All guests should be treated equally.

The sushi is tasty but far from the best. All you can eat now costs €33 per person on the weekend, which is really not worth the sushi...

We really enjoy going here. Great atmosphere, great food, what more could you want?

Unfortunately the prices have been raised to a high level. You don't get any added value compared to before, and there isn't any more variation on the sushi line due to the high prices. I used to like going there every now and then, but now I won't eat there again because I can eat twice in other restaurants for the money and the quality is at least as high.

Very tasty and affordable sushi. I always like to order and pick it up locally - it works perfectly every time. It's best to order shortly before you get hungry, as you usually can't pick it up straight away.

We've eaten All You Can Eat Sushi for the third time now and it's always a dream! This time my partner, who doesn't like sushi, was also there and he ordered something from the menu and was also more than thrilled. Only recommended!

We were back at the sushi line. And it's delicious. I would actually like a change in the evening, as it's always the same offer. But what is available is varied and delicious and if you're missing something you can get it fresh straight away. Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to get someone from the service to order drinks. You need patience, hence a star deduction. But everyone is always very nice Update 9/24 Top service for a while

We discovered this restaurant through the many positive reviews on Google and were curious. After a few attempts to reserve a table, it finally worked on the third try - and it was absolutely worth it. We were impressed as soon as we arrived: there was enough parking space right in front of the door, and when you entered you were greeted by a pleasantly temperate room climate and a modern, yet cozy interior. The friendly service team warmly welcomed us - the first impression was excellent. After a short and clear introduction to the restaurant concept, we could immediately look forward to the meal. The food was excellent, and we were particularly impressed by the desserts from the production line! A few days later I visited the restaurant again and this time ordered “to-go”. Despite the restaurant being busy, the pick-up was quick and problem-free, with a surprisingly short waiting time. Overall a great restaurant that we will now visit regularly. Special praise goes to the friendly and professional service team – keep it up!

im Land mit der geringsten Lebenserwartung Europas, weil viele Deutsche auf viel Alkohol und paniertes Jägerschnitzel mit Pommes stehen, ist dieses hier eine Oase gesunden und frischen Essens mit viel Gemüse. Sehr freundliche, asiatische Bedienung und ein tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Wir essen hier jede Woche. Klare Empfehlung. Dorian Hartmuth im September 2024.

Das restaurant zeichnet sich durch das freundliche Personal besonders gut. Das Essen ist immer frisch und qualitativ super gut zubereitet gehen sehr gerne dahin und sind wieder immer wieder begeistert.

A must for sushi lovers. Sushi and other delicious things on the assembly line. Very, very friendly staff. Attentive service. There is also a menu for à la carte orders. An interesting, balanced mix of different sushi specialties.

Very tasty running sushi that I can recommend to everyone, plus friendly service. Sometimes you have to wait a little longer if you're hoping for a certain type of sushi, but in my opinion that's not a big deal due to the high supply/flow. Alternatively, you can also order from the menu at the outside tables. Reservation in advance is highly recommended, especially on weekends

Running sushi or a la carte. Sushi was tasty and fresh and also varied.

Tasty and good quality. A must with sushi: the homemade iced tea!

July 16, 2024 Our first visit, which certainly wasn't the last visit. Very good food prepared with fresh ingredients. We were very satisfied, the service was exemplary in a pleasant atmosphere. We will be back and can highly recommend the restaurant.

I sat on the assembly line and used All You Can Eat. The service was very good. The empty plates were continually picked up. I enjoyed the food, but taste is a difficult subject for reviewers. The ambience tended to look rather modern, but everything fit.

I chose the duck dish, which was really great. The meat was tender and juicy in a way that is rarely served. We also tried the sushi dinner buffet from the assembly line, but found the composition of the sushi plates a bit boring for the price asked.

With a pleasant atmosphere, a very nice place for dinner with family, friends or a date. Nice staff and the sushi also tasted great. The selection on the conveyor belt was good and offered plates for starters, main courses and desserts.

We like to eat in the restaurant often. The all-you-can-eat sushi on the line is okay, but the quality at the table is significantly better.

The food was very tasty and the service was very good!!

Top! The best sushi in the area 🥰 Always a pleasure to eat here. I recommend reserving a table in the morning if you want to sit at the line, they go away very quickly 🙈

Great food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. Fish are very fresh

Running Sushi, consistently good quality and delicious.

Everything's great, we'll always come back

Dieses Restaurant sollte man probiert haben. Wir gehen seit Jahren hierher und wurden nie enttäuscht. Guter Service & ausgezeichnetes Essen. Egal ob Sushi oder ein „normales Gericht“, alles wird frisch zubereitet und ist wirklich sehr lecker. Für ein Essen am Band, sollte man jedoch vorher reservieren. Dort sind alle Tische fast immer ausgebucht.

Raw fish that doesn't kill me is a delicious one First class stomach feast

The food was amazing, the restaurant was full yet it came super fast and staff is kind.

The food was very good . I always enjoy going there. Price performance is also right.

Always the best sushi shop in the area

Wird immer teurer dafür auch noch weniger Inhalt bzw. kleinere Portionen. Das selbe Gericht kostete im Juni 2022 10.40 euro und 2 Jahre später 14.90 !!! Obendrauf hat man der Verpackung eine Wölbung verpasst dadurch spart man am Reis.... Service ist okay.

The two of us went out to eat and ordered from the menu. First class service. upscale facility. Very tasty food.

Dogs not allowed, that's enough for me. Probably not children either.

Mr. Habeck served me extremely competently. The service was unusually courteous, attentive and quick. The epitome of a perfect waiter. I will gladly come again

We were there for the first time today and were thrilled. Very tasty and fresh food! Top service. Gladly again 😊 Price/performance good 👍🏼

I love sushi. We were there with the whole family. As always, at the table, as the quality of the sushi is top-notch. The service was great and we had a great evening. We always like to come back.

Anyone who loves sushi 🍣 will definitely not be disappointed here in Okinawa. It's tasty, it's fresh, there's something for everyone. The selection on the band is really very diverse. The employees are all really great and, above all, very friendly. We have been visiting the restaurant regularly for a long time and will continue to do so 🥰

The food on the assembly line was very tasty, varied and included news. Definitely worth an experience. Unfortunately, in our case the service wasn't entirely attentive, so I ended up not ordering the drink that I actually wanted to order. We will definitely try it again. Maybe we were just unlucky in our position this time when it came to the attention of the waitress.
