回転寿司で10皿食べたって英語でなんて言うの？

回転寿司 = sushi conveyor belt restaurant Plates and dishes are almost the same except for specific use of what specific English native country’s own slang is so I feel that you don’t need to worry. Since this is closely related to an aspect of culture, if you’re talking to someone who knows sushi is served 2 pieces on a plate then it’s fine to say either “ I ate 10 plates worth of sushi at a sushi restaurant.” Or “I ate 10 dishes of sushi at a sushi conveyor belt restaurant ” If it’s someone who does know the fact that in Japan 1 plate of sushi has 2 pieces of sushi in it, you can say “I ate 20 pieces of sushi” because you are counting individual pieces.

In this case if you were to use the first or the second statement either one would be acceptable because the order of sushi and plates doesn't matter. It can be "10 sushi plates" or "10 plates of sushi." Most people will never call a sushi restaurant a "sushi-belt restaurant" because everyone knows or understands that there will likely be a belt there.

You may easily just explain that you ate ten plates of sushi, however it does not exactly set the imagination on fire. To be more graphic you could explain exactly what happened: "10 conveyor belt plates of sushi." Then to make it more interesting, yould embellish it a little: "I gulped down 10 conveyor belts of sushi with hardly a pause for breath between each plate!"

I enjoyed 10 servings of sushi- A serving doesn't have to be a large amount of food. I had ten small servings of sushi- Indicating that they are small in amount. I had ten pieces of sushi- As sushi is often served in very small amounts pieces works well here.

Explanation: I think that a person has to grab a plate as it moves along the conveyor belt. That would be the easiest thing to do and the safest too. Grabbing a piece of sushi would be tough and not very hygienic either. So if a plate is grabbed, then one would say I had a plate of sushi. But if one grabs a piece of sushi, then you would say I had 10 pieces of sushi.

When we say we had 10 plates of something that means we had 10 servings or portions like on 1 plate but dishes is a little more broader term. If I say I had 10 dishes of sushi then that means I ate 10 entirely different sushi meals . For example a dish is spaghetti, a turkey dinner etc. Sushi is a special food because the portions of sushi is usually two pieces on a plate that is why it sounds weird when we say 10 plates of sushi . Some people say pieces of sushi instead of plates of sushi. So we could say either: "I had 10 plates of sushi at the restaurant " or " I had 10 plates of 2 pieces of sushi"

All of these sentences express that you have eaten 10 plates worth of sushi.
