The Catch Sushi Bar brings the sushi-train experience to Courtenay Place, combining the easy choice of dishes moving past on the belt with a menu of items prepared to order. It serves lunch and dinner six days a week, making it useful for a quick central-city meal as well as a longer session built from several plates. Diners can also order for pickup or delivery, while the Te Aro dining room keeps the visual, choose-as-you-go character that defines the venue.
Belt plates centre on sushi and sashimi. Both salmon and tuna can be chosen as nigiri or sliced sashimi, while rolls cover salmon and avocado, plain avocado, tempura prawn and teriyaki chicken. California rolls, inari, chopped salmon and avocado, unagi and vegetable rolls widen the selection, and hand rolls provide a larger individual option. Because each plate can stand alone, it is easy to alternate seafood, vegetables and cooked fillings rather than commit to one fixed combination.
Hot food adds substance beyond the chilled plates. Pork and vegetable dumplings make an easy shared starter, beef skewers bring a grilled choice, and seared salmon provides a warmer expression of a familiar sushi ingredient. Teriyaki salmon can be ordered over rice or as a set, while made-to-order Japanese classics such as gyoza, teriyaki chicken and noodle dishes offer an alternative for diners who do not want a meal composed entirely from the train.
The format supports a flexible approach: diners can begin with a few nigiri or rolls from the belt, then add sashimi, a hand roll or a hot dish as the meal develops. It suits solo diners and groups because each person can make independent choices while still sharing dumplings or skewers. Lunch-and-dinner hours, online ordering and delivery broaden that convenience, while the Courtenay Place room retains the restaurant's distinctive moving-plate service.
