Card payments are only allowed for transactions above $12. Given that the majority of items cost below that, don’t forget to bring cash.
I love supporting family businesses and this is the quintessential Japanese sushi restaurant that meets that criteria. Loved the sushi rice bowl ($10.8). Wished there was more salmon - but I can’t fault the flavour of everything on my dish. The mushroom was especially delicious! Also ordered some sushi rolls for my partner. That met expectations. Love how affordable everything is here - explains the queue! Given that it’s smack next to David Jones, I’ll def be back!
Great lunch venue for something light or something more substantial. It’s always difficult to get a seat here so if you don’t want take away, get there by 12, or after 2pm. The food is fantastic and if you order something simple like a couple of sushi rolls and dine in, the slice up the rolls for you; something you don’t see that much anymore.
Ordered salmon&tuna mix chirashi zushi which came with rice, bed of salad, egg rolls and mushroom.
The highlight of this bowl is the sauce that they put on rice and salad, it some kind of mixture soy sauce and vinegar I guessed.
Salmon and tuna sashimi were pretty limited but can’t complain with the price that I paid for and it tasted okay.
Overall, i enjoyed my quick lunch here.

Popular place with long lines during lunch time . Many staff and quick service. Meals are very well and freshly made in a micro kitchen.
Chicken curry, bento and salmon sushi packs are patrons top picks.
A very affordable Japanese Eatery in the CBD. We decided to come for lunch and the queue was out the door! However it moved quickly. The sushi rolls are pretty good and very cheap too! The bowls are quite average but decent for the price you’re paying.
Sushi Monger is a great little Japanese shop located in the walk arcade between Bourke and little Collins street.. the Udon combo was pretty good which came with one bowl of beef udon soup with any sushi roll.. this place is always full people.. but I came in for a late lunch so the queue moved along quite fast.. although I knew that they are famous for their don and bento but I was cravings for a bowl of hot noodle soup in this cold winter weather so I gave the udon a go.. the salmon sushi tasted fresh, the udon was not too big, and the soup very light, however there wasn’t much meat inside.. but this combo definitely was enough to fill me up.. I would try their bento set next time which looked super good..
😱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.
🍩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.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy:
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.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: great for takeaway sushi and a quick sushi fix.
I really like this place for cheap eats on the go before class. It’s fast, simple and yummy. Try the King Prawn roll and the Spicy Salmon.
You will always see a line of people queuing out of the place especially during lunch time.
I like that they also give you miso along with the rolls that help make the meal a lot nicer and yummier.
Got to this place for lunch upon the recommendation of a local friend of mine. An unbelievable crowd but the staff did incredibly well to manage it and send the queue fast. Got myself the oyako Don(spicy) and a teriyaki chicken handroll.
A really good deal for 12/= in the CBD. The oyako don is totally sufficient for 9.50,just being cash as they accept cards for only above 12. The sushi was quite alright, goes well with the pickled ginger on the side. The oyako Don is a gooey chicken covering steamed rice. Quite a filling dish and good value for money. It's open only 5 days for 5 hours, so they know to keep their customers on their heels! 😃
Good value if you want a quick lunch on your break, sushi is fresh and the rice is still warm, surpasses all the takeaway sushi joints in the city
Reasonable price and sushi taste pretty good. Also, you can get your food within minutes.
During lunch time, it gets really crowded, so get there before 12.
One of Melbourne’s most popular sushi and bento lunch spot. Normally this place has a line well outside the door however today it was raining so I had the chance to stop and check it out.
Great selection of different sushi as well as bento boxes. All served fresh and tasty.
This is a simple affair. Small eating area and you’ll have to squeeze to get past people.
That said for $10 for a bento lunch you can’t go wrong. Highly recommended. Get in early and you’re wait should not be long.
Simple tasty and healthy food. Not made complicated with many twists and can be had frequently.
Very well priced and going by the turnover in this place I strongly believe everything is ultra fresh.
Can get busy during lunch times and small seating arrangements make take away one of best options.
My favourite place to eat during my lunch break. The combos with Miso are very worth it's price and the salmon is so fresh. Sadly they're closed on weekends.
Great sushi and Japanese food for low prices. Staff are fast and efficient, lines always look long but they are fast to get through the lines. Best if you take away as there is limited seating.
Good for a quick lunch. The bento boxes are flavorful and good value for money. Sometimes staff is rude - depends tho! Either way FOOD IS GOOD!!
