KURA SUSHI Taipei Guanqian Restaurant, Japanese restaurant in Guanqian, Taipei, Taiwan.
KURA SUSHI Taipei Guanqian is a Japanese chain restaurant on the fifth floor of a commercial building in central Taipei. Plates of sushi and other dishes travel past on a conveyor belt, and table screens allow you to place additional orders at any time.
The chain was founded in Japan in 1977 and gradually expanded across Asia, eventually reaching Taiwan where it now runs more than 40 locations. The Guanqian branch is part of the more recent wave of openings that brought the brand into the heart of Taipei.
The chain is very popular in Taiwan because it makes Japanese sushi accessible and fun for a wide range of people. Families and groups of friends often come here together, ordering from screens without needing to interact with staff.
To reach the restaurant, take the elevator next to the Uniqlo store in the same building, which goes directly to the fifth floor. The space tends to fill up during lunch and dinner hours, especially on weekends, so arriving slightly before or after peak times can help avoid a wait.
Each time you return empty plates through the automated slot at your table, you earn points toward a turn at a capsule toy machine near the exit. This small reward system turns the end of the meal into a game that younger visitors find especially enjoyable.
