Decent japanese at reasonable prices. They have lunch specials at $7.50 and comes with free miso soup. I tried the teriyaki beef and it tasted pretty good. The place was rther tiny but quite cozy.

This is a great place to come for cheap lunch. Be warned though that service can be a touch slow, and that the food can be a little heavy. That said, you can't go wrong at under $10 a head!

Approximate cost: $10

This Japanese joint is up there on my list of favorite restaurants in the CBD. It's definitely one that I visit the most often whether to have lunch or take away. Firstly, the price is awesome if you are looking for a substantial meal for lunch. There are a few choices you can get for just $6.80. My favorites are the Tofu Steak with Mushroom Sauce and Sakana Fish Curry. The meals usually come with free miso soup. The fish used for the sushi and fried items is fresh. It's gonna take something special to beat this place in terms of taste and price. The service is not too bad as well. The owner is very friendly and he'll recognise you after a few visits.
