Around every sneaky CBD corner there is a sushi place.

There is no shortage of dry, flavourless, old, seaweed-breaking, limp sushi rolls. And it seems the price of a roll goes up at least 20c every year.

End geriatric rant. There are many good sushi places out there too.

Every business day over the peak lunch period there is a telltale line outside Sushi Monger.

People know this place rules.

You won’t wait long. The production line inside operates on a foolproof system, churning customers through incredibly quickly.

The deals are super reasonable, such as 2 fresh sushi rolls and miso soup for just $5. Sides of gyoza or yasai salad set you back just $3 each.

Staff are friendly, incredibly swift at serving and actually Japanese.

If you’re after a religious lunch option this healthy haven has to be one of the best.

To the Sushi Monger: a simple Japanese ‘yokudekimashita’ is deserved.

In English, well done.
