Fresh and tasty food. Funky little eatery with the best Japanese food on a budget. It's where I go for lunch every time I visit Melbourne.

This place is always busy at lunchtime but the line always move very quickly. Staffs are very efficient and friendly. I usually get sushi for takeaway or when eating with colleagues I usually order chicken teriyaki. Good value and tastes yummy.

Great on a hot day! Good value meal at $5.50 for sesame dressing on green beans and carrot and a creamy potato salad. Love the pickled ginger in a jar that you can help yourself to. Seating is however quite limited.

You have to give this place a try - do this outside of lunchtime or prepare to queue. They do lovely brown rice sushi and delicious salads and a most excellent tofu burger. Service can be all over the place and it ain't fancy but the food is excellent

Absolutely one of the best Japanese cafes in the city. It is always packed but it does not take long to get served. Brown rice sushi is available in a wide range of flavours and the dishes are so unique and tasty!

Approximate cost: $9.90
