I’ve been living in Melbourne for just over three weeks now, and one of my main priorities in moving to a new city is finding a good, cheap sushi joint. In New York it was the Sushi Lounge, in Perth the Shanghai Food Hall, and finally I’ve found my sushi home here in Melbourne.
I was first introduced to Sushi Sushi on Swanston Street, between Collins and Lt Collins. I walked by, hungry and needing a snack, and saw the salmon tempura sushi roll sitting in the window. With a price tag of $2.20. It was incredible, crunchy, salty, with extra soy and a bit of wasabi. Then I tried the cooked tuna roll. Equally as good, still $2.20, and it tastes very fresh.
I don’t need a fancy setting, and these restaurants don’t offer it- just a small table with chopsticks and soy sauce ready and waiting, if you choose not to takeaway to eat while walking, which these rolls are particularly suited for as well.
I’ve since learned that there are locations all around the city and suburbs in Melbourne. All over Victoria, for that matter. I need never go far to find my sushi fix.
