Sushi hand rolls and cooked meals are ok.
Fresh sashimi was poorly presented. 
Lunch specials are pretty good value but otherwise average vfm.

Unpretentious Sushi. Tsuru has several locations within Brisbane and it's easy to see why. I stumble in here every so often for lunch and the offerings on the menu are the standard with most Japanese sushi restaurants including okonomiyaki, sashmi, katsu curry etc. The decor is classy yet quite casual in a comfortable way despite it being offered as an upper tier sushi restaurant. But what seems to set this place out is the lack of pretentiousness for what is deemed as a classy Japanese offering. Service was very good and attentive and extremely polite but not intrusively so.

From the appearance of the place you'd expect the food to be quite expensive however this was not the case. Prices are as low as any other takeaway restaurant with meals going around the ten dollar mark and more fancy meals going at twenty. However I found it cheaper to get fed here than one of your standard issue Sushi Trains and the portions of the servings are slightly bigger than other places. The sashimi for instance has chunks of tuna that are easily double the size of what you'd expect at a Sushi Train and it's quite easy to get full on a single meal.

Having dined at numerous Japanese restaurants, consistency seems to be the key as they all serve the same dishes and have roughly the same flavours and so service and value are the main things to look for. In this regard Tsuru is an excellent offering from catering for both casual and formal diners.
