The only place that reasonably priced their sushi. Not a lot to choose from but that really doesn’t matter here. They’ve got all the typical flavours you usually look for and they all taste good. They’re a little skimpy on the fillings though.
Been their regular customer for years now! Love a cheap and cheerful sushi! Their sushi's are very fresh as they do have a high turnover. My favourite has got to be the prawn and avo, and the fried chicken! Definitely an amazing cheap eats in the cbd
Would definitely recommend this spot!
a staple in melbourne cbd - they’ve raised their price point a little bit because of rental costs (which is reasonable in my opinion) yet they’re still one of the cheapest and top quality sushi places in melbourne. you can see them making the sushi constantly during the day so you know it’s fresh. the teriyaki chicken, salmon avo and unagi rolls are my favourite - you will probably have to opt to take away these goodies but if you can manage to squeeze a spot in the side seating it’ll feel like you’re in a cute hidden gem in japan!
My score 4.25 stars. J and I got a takeaway snack for dinner from here on Tue 1st Oct. Service was lovely and it wasn’t too busy (2pm-ish). We got 3 Maki rolls, normally $2.20ea (which is a bargain) - but we got 3 for $6 (a steal)!
Spicy cooked tuna and cucumber – Good size, nice spice heat, but also a bit sweet (still liked it though).
Tamago – Pick of the bunch, tasty, not too sweet (unlike lots of places), plenty of omelette, good size overall too.
Cooked tuna and Avo – Good size & plenty of filling. Was good, but would prefer more mayo (prob not trad but who cares – we love Kewpie)...
First time we’ve been here in ages (not sure why it’s been so long), must come back again soon & work our way through options to find our favourites…
Cute little hole in the wall spot that's great for grab and go rolls. The tamago rolls are nice, and the veg and tofu are also great. Affordable prices make this a go-to snack destination.
Three delicious sushi rolls although not the most expertly wrapped. Salmon was fresh and the avocado somewhat generous, very yummy lunch
Cheap and tasty sushi
Been here couple times, the place seems bit small with some seats inside but since it's famous for take-away.
The staffs were quite nice and there were just no fuss.
All the sushi rolls I had were satisfying. Good amount of filling to rice ratio, and perfectly cooked and chewy rice, as well as good size.
Had the unagi and tofu veggie sushi and were both pretty good, Better than some sushi rolls I've tried. I also liked how they give homemade wasabi (i think it is)
Prawn sushi had some fish roe and avo in it, and I really enjoyed them.
Tamago sushi was so generous with the tamago, and it was fluffy and soft.
Overall, with $2.20 per rolls, it's the best you can get in the city imo.

Tokui Sushi is one of the best (and most reliable) sushi shops in the city. Not only its freshly made and one of the cheapest price but their sushi filling is very generous. I have been going to Tokui Sushi for many years now and although many other Sushi places have opened up around the city the past few years, Tokui Sushi has still stood strong and has not faltered.
🔆LOCATION🔆
Tokui Sushi is located on Lonsdale Street, near the corner of Swanston Street.
This busy intersection has alot of traffic and at times people can miss it if not looking. The sushi shop is very basic however offer simple seating on bar chairs, bench table against the wall. This simple set up is fine because most people buy sushi to take-away.
🔆SERVICE🔆
The staff at Tokui Sushi are very friendly and when you're not sure what to have, they can easily help to recommend.
🔆MENU/PRICE🔆
All sushi's are $2.20 each
Purchase 3 or more sushi, $2.00 each
The best thing about Tokui Sushi is that they are very generous with their filling wrapped in sushi rice. The sushi rice itself is very moist and is a decent thin layer, not like other sushi places where they jam pack the sushi rice and the filling is minimal.
🔆VERDICT🔆
Simply delicious! Cannot fault.
On this occasion for review today, I purchased the Teriyaki Beef (Scotch Fillet) and Fried Chicken sushi.
The beef was thiny sliced with decent amount of Teriyaki sauce marinated into the meat which was delicious. The beef was soft and juicy.
The fried chicken sushi was also quite tasty. The chicken was tender and soft and lightly battered. The batter was not oily which was nice.
Great place for cheap sushi in such good quality. Love the prices and options. Simple sushi combinations and nice staff.
I love the classic plain avocado one. There are around four vegetarian options and many options with meats or seafood. $2.20 seem more worth it paying for the non-veggie options.
They have special discount on the remaining sushi during closing hours, where they cost $2.00. You better hurry as the sushi sell out fast.

Pretty good sushi considering the competition that’s in the area. Nice range - all the usual that you’d expect. High turnover so you can expect fresh food. Plus they pack the sushi with plenty of ingredients - no skimping out on that front. Prices are very reasonable and competitive with other store.
Staff are extremely helpful and very friendly.
Always like an avocado or a tuna or crispy chicken
Wheelchair accessible. Kid friendly. Eat in or takeaway.
I laugh when I see the prices (and portions) of other sushi places!
Tokui Sushi is super affordable (currently $2.50 a roll), incredibly tasty and the woman who has served me each time I've visited is really courteous and polite.
Could not recommended enough!
Best value sushi in the CBD.
Lovely owners, great sushi, amazing prices. I like the salmon, tuna and crispy chicken the most.
At $2.50/sushi roll, you’re definitely getting the most bang for your buck if you want sushi.
My favourite sushi in Melbourne! The prices are simply right and the sushi is always fresh. Most of the time I have it made o. The spot as it is so popular and the food in the display finishes many times during the day! Love have fresh sushi there!
Best sushi rolls in Melbourne! I’ve been coming here in the past 10 years. The owners are always very kind. The Egg (Tamago) sushi is mouth watering delicious. The prawn and salmon sushi are very fresh. Simply the best. Such an iconic eatery in Melbourne.
Best value sushi in Melbourne! Cheap and so so so tasty! 10/10 highly recommended
I’m Japanese I know good sushi. Rice is soft and they use good amount of vinegar in it, their sushi tastes always fresh anytime I visit. You can’t get sushi for this price in Australia! I can’t go anywhere else anymore.
Don’t forget cash!
Best sushi in the CBD! Each roll is only $2.50 and they are just as good (if not better) than other more expensive sushi places in the city; great bang for your buck! I highly recommend the tuna and avocado rolls!
2022: Youcan't beat $2.50 for a Salmon Avocado Roll, givenSushi Hub is now $4.20.
Tokui for the win.
*****
2009-2018: My favourite sushi bar in the city and soon to be yours too.
Tokui's definitely deserving of it's high rating, with swift service and $2 a roll?
Just bananas!
Generous bits of salmon, avocado and various other fillings, wins my vote.
Don't change and I'll keep coming.
UPDATE: The rolls have finally gotten a price rise after more than a decade.
They have a deal for $2 per roll, if you buy 3...
