Yo Sushi, a British sushi chain, is bringing its conveyor-belt sushi - in which plates of food glide around diners who pick what looks good - to 79 Seaport Blvd.
The Boston Licensing Board yesterday gave the chain a food-serving license for what would be the Seaport's first conveyor-belt restaurant, with hours of 11 a.m .to 11 p.m.
The chain's lawyer said it will be back before the board in the near future with a request to approve its purchase of a beer-and-wine license from another restaurant in the city.
The board also approved a license for Wing Stop, 173 Border St. in East Boston's Central Square. Owner Jim Erhart said he will offer chicken wings in 11 different flavors, along with fixins. He added he is hiring 20 East Boston residents - including several students at East Boston High School - to staff the restaurant. He plans to be open between 11 a.m. and midnight.
