How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst: — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account: — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text: — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

For me and my kids, a great run... great selection. Even non-sushi lovers will find something to their liking 😄 Very pleasant and fast service, they clear the table every moment. I give 5🌟

Sooo delicious! The lady who served us was so sweet and spoke really good English. We were also asked if we had any specific requests and these were taken care of right away!

Excellent and tasty food. The service is smiling and really hardworking. Every few minutes they regularly take away the dishes so the comfort for eating is always good. It's a shame that it's in a shopping mall so the hundreds to thousands...

Amazing for this price🤩

Despite the mixed reviews, we decided to try it and we were satisfied. On Wednesday around 5-6 o'clock, a large amount of sushi was on the conveyor belt. The quality is acceptable, ideal for trying. I would definitely recommend reducing the...

It is located in Karlovy Vary in Varyáda. The service is very friendly. The food is good, it is mainly sushi and various variations of this type of food. The price is very interesting. It is determined by the time how long you want to eat o...

The staff was pleasant, but the overall impression and hope for a normally functioning running sushi in Karlovy Vary were unfortunately not fulfilled. The sushi running on the conveyor belt was not at all diverse, as is customary in other c...

I've been three times, twice it was very good, but today it was very bad. If there's one thing I expect from sushi, it's freshness and not dried out crab sticks. If the owner reads this here, I really ask them to take it to heart and get ri...

Normally we like to come here. Unfortunately, some shifts are worse than others and today was an extreme. All the food is dry. In other branches I have always encountered that sushi that no one takes away is replaced. Fish stinks, hot food...

Staff attitude regarding leftovers

A few reviewers mention feeling reprimanded or scolded by staff for leaving unfinished food on their plates.

I had a very unpleasant experience with the attitude of the staff at the restaurant. I brought my own water for the kids because I didn't want them to drink sugary drinks. The staff first asked me to throw it away, so in the end I just hid...

I had a very unpleasant experience at Running Sushi. My husband and I used to go there often, always paying full price and never having any problems. This time, we came with our children for the first time—they wanted to try different dishe...

Pricing and seating disparities

The food and selection is great. Yes. What I'm a little sad about is the inadequate price for children.. my five-year-old and six-year-old boys are over 120 cm tall. They both have a few dishes, - a little duck or chicken, some fruit or a s...

Terrible place, we sat on the second line where there was simply not enough food and the selection was completely different from the other table. We asked why they do this, the waitress said they have a different job and they're just rippin...

The worst sushi run I've ever had in my life. An absolute disaster. Salmon still frozen like it came out of the freezer, sushi dried out like it had been there since yesterday. The fillings were absolutely tragic - cheap crab sticks and fried "shrimp" that might have only touched the sea with a glan...

Great satisfaction, diverse offer and freshness for 1.* The service is very pleasant and willing to accommodate. I can only add that after those experiences in Karlovy Vary, the only running sushi that is worth it.
