In Brisbane, we are certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to Japanese cuisine & sushi. The trick is finding one that is great value for money, is delicious, fresh, has great service & offers a wide range of dishes to choose from.
Tsuru sushi cafe certainly hits all the marks. It's a mystery how we'd never come across Tsuru before, as they've been around since 2009, with a cafe in Ashgrove, Albany Creek, Manly West, West End & now Cannon Hill.
The Cannon Hill cafe (@ 29 Southgate Avenue) has a calm ambience, & lots of natural colours. The staff greet you with a friendly "Hello" & a welcoming smile so you immediately feel at home.
The menu is extensive with so many options to choose from including gluten free.
So, we decided on
1) gingered pork belly roll sushi with cucumber, capsicum, & sesame seeds (4 @$7.80)
2) soft shell crab roll sushi with cucumber, sweet chilli mayo, avocado & flying fish roe (4 @$7.80)
3) tsukune "chicken meatballs" (2 @ $6.80) &
4) tsuru fried rice with tofu, eggs & vegetables ($11.80)
5) Teriyaki chicken salad ($12.80)
What can we say. Officially one of our favourite Japanese cafes. Casual dining & meals at its gratifying best! It can get quite busy & with everything made fresh to order, there's a slight wait, but it is totally worth it. So for a fresh & healthier meal that satisfies, definitely check out Tsuru sushi cafe.
The cafe at Cannon Hill is open Mon- Wed 8am - 8:30pm, Thur - Sat 8am - 9pm, Sun 8:30am - 8pm. read more
