Better living through automation? Bring it on.

You dream of a life in a futuristic cartoon world where moving hooks take you from bed to shower, a robot maid cleans up, and your dog is made of tin.

Wasabi brings those fantasies one step closer.

The new restaurant offers sushi on a conveyer belt. Chef Miguel Choy, who popularized the style (known as kaiten) in London with his Yuzu restaurants, now brings the automated dining experience to Washington.

Three booths and a long bar surround the moving conveyer belt, from which diners pull whatever rolls and hot dishes they want. Plates are color-coded to indicate the prices, which range from $2 to $5. The waitstaff comes around to supply drinks and collect empty plates.

And for those on the run, things can be sped up even more with premade rolls and hot options to go.

Granted, it’s not a flying car.

But it beats that freeze-dried ice cream you’ve been eating for lunch.

Wasabi, 906 17th Street NW, between I and K Streets (202-822-2005 or wasabisushi.com).
