The first time I heard about Kenzan, I'd walked in to a room of friends and they were all rolling…read moretheir eyes in ecstasy and making funny noises. Apparently one of them had just made mention of Kenzan and their crispy nori sushi rolls and it had sent them all off in to fits drooling. I realised I was missing out, so marched to the GPO building quick smart to sink my teeth in to one of them. Yep, they're pretty damn good. There's the usual fillings - tuna sashimi, spicy salmon, terriyaki chicken yada yada yada... but what sets Kenzan apart is their nifty plastic wrapping that separates the nori from the rice until just at the last minute. Before you can eat the roll you have to do a kind of sushi origami and unwrap the roll and then re-roll it upon itself (trust me, it will make sense to you when the time comes). This means you get expertly cooked rice, fresh and delicious fillings and CRISPY nori on the outside. It's a textural delight and is going to ruin you for every soggy nori roll you ever eat in the future. As a dining experience Kenzan is nothing spectacular - you'll sit elbow-to-elbow with shoppers and office workers during the peak lunch period, but it's quick and fresh and you'll only pay a small premium for what I feel is some of the best sushi in Melbourne.

Kenzan at the GPO is, in my opinion, the best place to get nori rolls in the entire Melbourne CBD…read more The nori rolls come wrapped in plastic to separate the nori paper from the rice. When you are ready the eat you unwrap and roll the rice roll into the nori paper. The result is a crispy outside and makes all the difference in the world! I cannot eat 'soggy' nori rolls anymore. You have to get there by about 1:30pm if you want to have a decent selection as they sell out of the most popular - cooked tuna and california - very quickly. Getting a seat can also be difficult between 12:30 - 2:00pm. I usually get take away though as my office is just around the corner. One quick tip - they often forget to put the soy sauce and wasabi in the bag so double check before you step out.

Suki Sushi is the place which got me interested in Sushi. I had eaten sushi in the past, and had…read morebeen rather unimpressed with the flavour and lack of texture. Oh how Suki Sushi changed things for me! The Californian rolls, jammed packed full of yummy rice, cucumber, crab, avocado is a flavour sensation in my mouth. A must is a splash of the provided soy sauce, as the saltiness really lifts the dish to a whole new level. Sushi is a great option for anyone wanting a healthy fast food option, and I can thoroughly recommend Suki Sushi at Brandon Park.

We stopped by the mall to grab a couple items for our trip. The fam was hungry and we noticed this…read moresushi place. They were making the rolls in front of us and everything looked really fresh. We grabbed 2 avo rolls, a salmon roll and a veggie roll. The prices are really affordable and surprisingly the food was really delicious. Finding a $3 roll is rare, but a really tasty $3 roll is almost impossible to find. My son noted that it was so good, he wanted to back tomorrow. That's high praise for my boys discerning palate (lol) and I happen to agree. I'm gonna say that for the price, this was a 5 Star meal!

This sushi is extremely fresh, even if you are inclined to grab a bargain for discounted sushi…read moretowards closing time; why not if the sushi is still fresh right? Exactly. This is a great place to hang out and order a sushi roll (or two) if any unexpected hunger pangs kick in prior to going downstairs and buying the groceries for the week. I have tasted their miso soup as well; not too bad. On this, there are better places to have some of this healthy, cleansing soup within Melbourne. Don't waste your breath ordering for it. However, continue to waste your breath (joking) for some delicious sushi (hence what the word Oishii means in Japanese) and also the sashimi (on another positive) is one of Melbourne's best. Again the salmon (raw) is so fresh and great for the pallet with some wasabi. The staff and too polite at times, although being friendly in a food friendly establishment is a great thing. Open and inviting is the flavour of the day as well. Trust me, you will not be disappointed buying your lunch (or a snack to cure those intense hunger pangs) at this establishment if Japanese food resonates with you.

But since there are more food options in Emporium one would not miss out of they went somewhere else.

(This is where I'll pick up some frozen udon, soba noodles and sauces). The good thing about this place is that it's got variety, from sashimi to different sushi rolls, even seared ones too.
