Origami

The usual sushi takeaway places in Melbourne displays neat rows after rows of sushi rolls. The popular ones are teriyaki chicken rolls, california rolls, avocado rolls, beef teriyaki rolls and the list goes on. And the usual little Japanese restaurants that we know and love usually serve pretty bento boxes. Origami is one of the Japanese cheap eats in this area but is not your typical Japanese restaurant or take away that we are accustomed to. The menu here is simple and they are only opened Mon - Fri from 11.30 - 2.30pm.

Actually there is no menu, food is served from the counter. The food is all cooked and prepped in a little back kitchen and this place is run by 2 old Japanese couple. The sushi and sashimi resides on one end and on the other, the cooked food like chicken teriyaki, beef curry, tempura and deep fried chicken and potato balls.
