Urban Sushi - Saint Ives Australia

Lil’ bun and her friends went Black Friday shopping downtown and stopped by Urban Sushi for lunch. I’ve walked by Urban Sushi a couple of times but never went in so I was glad to hear that she had a good visit. The exterior had a woodsy theme to it and the interior was cramped with people but I don’t expect much when it comes to spacious seating downtown since it’s almost expected that there’s not much room to go around.

I love this place. Great sushi selection and always tasty. I don't go there for lunch because they are so busy but you can order online to pick up. I also take my friends for supper after work and enjoy my favorite sushis.

Very good food made with fresh ingredients. Service was decent, very polite. Nice and clean restaurant with great location. I def Recommend!

Then Urban Grill showed up just a few doors down from our office and we thought our prayers were heard. Little did we know, this was a little different than the stereotypical Mongolian grill. This place is a bit of a unique establishment. There are two separate restaurants in a combined space that share a seating area, but beyond that everything is separate. It’s definitely one of the cleanest Mongolian grills I’ve ever seen which is generally a bad sign. It’s also one of the few grills in town that charge by weight, rather than a fixed price for a bowl or with an all-you-can-eat price. One of the benefits as a result is the options available to you are much greater than some of the dirtier and cheaper locations. They have things like various nuts, different coloured bell peppers, various beans and mushrooms, as well as some seafood options for meats. They also don’t freeze their meat, though I have seen it with ice crystals on it so it’s likely thawed in the morning. The process is you start at the beginning of the line with a silver tray, put as much food as you want on it, then at the end you put your plate on a scale. They weigh it and charge a flat rate per 100g regardless of what you added to your plate, then give you a sheet of paper to fill out with options of of having white or brown rice, as well as a number of sauces to choose from.   I stacked my plate full of various veggies, cashews, beef marinated in a spicy sauce while being careful not to overi

Really liked it. The food was fast and very fresh. The place was very clean. Only wished their business hours were longer.
