Sushi Bar Express
It also leans into a light, playful tone. The store description calls out “comical style” and “whimsical humour,” which is important because this kind of game can absolutely turn you into a tiny stress goblin muttering “WHERE IS THE SALMON” at the screen. Progression is nicely snackable: new recipes and equipment upgrades keep the loop moving, and little extras—like the maneki-neko lucky cat—add flavor and incentives to keep improving.
Where the “modern incarnation” angle really lands is that it’s positioned as a contemporary release of a recognizable classic—now under Funbox’s publishing umbrella on Steam—while keeping the same arcade-friendly identity that made the original idea work. It’s not trying to be a deep simulator; it’s a tight, approachable score-chase kitchen sprint, and it knows it.
If you’re the kind of player who enjoys fast sessions, clean upgrade loops, and small improvements that compound into “I can’t believe I’m this good at imaginary sushi,” Sushi Bar Express still delivers.
