I enjoy supporting family-owned businesses, and this Japanese sushi restaurant fits the bill perfectly. I especially enjoyed the sushi rice bowl, although I wish there was more salmon. The flavors of all the dishes were excellent, particularly the mushrooms. I also ordered some sushi rolls for my partner, which were satisfying. The affordability of the menu explains the long queue. Being located next to David Jones, I will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

It can be challenging to find a seat here, so if you prefer dining in, it's best to arrive by 12 or after 2pm. The food is delicious, and if you order something simple like sushi rolls and eat in, they will even slice them up for you, a service that is not common these days.

The standout feature of this dish was the sauce that was drizzled over the rice and salad, a blend of soy sauce and vinegar, I believe. The portions of salmon and tuna sashimi were on the smaller side, but considering the price I paid, I couldn't really complain. The taste was decent. Overall, I had a pleasant and satisfying quick lunch here.

Lizzie’s first impression: Literally the cheapest sushi you can find in Melbourne.

Never have I come here at lunch time and not had to line up to buy. <br/ <br/ Lizzie enjoyed: The sushis here are fantastic their most popular one is the spicy salmon which is amazing (for takeaway sushi). It is great quality for the cost and even their bento boxes are quite good.  <br/ <br/ Lizzie did not enjoy: <br/ Don't expect the best service as their business model is all about churning sales of sushi over lunch time and not a dine in experience sort of place. <br/ <br/

Try the King Prawn roll and the Spicy Salmon. <br/ <br/ You will always see a line of people queuing out of the place especially during lunch time. <br/ <br/ I like that they also give you miso along with the rolls that help make the meal a lot nicer and yummier.
