  A super easy stop for some quick Japanese food on the go – sushi to grab or a bowl that can be made in under 5 minutes. Decided to grab a quick lunch but could spare an extra 5-10 minutes so I ordered two items off the menu. I ordered the regular teriyaki chicken which was quite plain. The chicken was not very flavoursome but the pieces of chicken were real chicken thigh and was very generous in its serving. I also ordered the regular karaage chicken which was really good! The chicken in this dish was so generous. The Japanese mayo and sauce drizzled on top was so delicious! The chicken was fried and very crispy. I would reorder this off the menu! The cup sized menu is also great for a quick and cheap snack if you’re looking for something other than sushi.

  weekday lunch here at post office food court so many choices to choose from. picked the salmon bowl here, first of all wasnt the way i thought it would look like…imagining pieces but comes with cubes of salmon. anyway, bonus point for the seaweed salad on the side. you can add as much of soy sauce as u like before u take ur bowl away. just one disappointmentwith the rice….. is just a plain hot white rice…was expecting sushi rice that is suppose to be seasoned with rice vinegar and not hot. is not suppose to be hot when you serve with raw fish …cause that will ruin the texture of the raw fish FYI.

  TL;DR: Standard sort of fare here. You know the nondescript Japanese takeaways that are often a Coke-red, and serve the usual range of sushi, curries et al? Just think that and you’re done. Well, here we are at another one of these places. There is only so much to talk about with them in distinguishing one from the other, but what does always seem to be the case is they have their place. With the Japanese curry gaining a lot of popularity in recent years as a snack while being on a desk job, the scale of economics has turned them into a bit of a profit; it is only natural that many places which do sushi will start to have it as an option – along with plenty of other donburi meals – as well, and then be able to turn even more of a profit. That is about the crux of it with Sushi Miru. We are not exactly talking about a model show here, but even with all the big guys around and all sorts of specialty stalls, Sushi Miru is comparatively small and off to the side. It does have the kitchen tucked away behind it, however to look for it you will have to walk a few steps further to even see it. Brightly red and simple … that is how to describe it. Going around town in the period between when I had work and when I heading home to do a weights session, the usual ritual was taking place to get something quick and cheap to eat while in town. As per usual, it was the whole round of walking around to find that place – preferably new to me – which was just right in all the elements for the place to get something. This led me to Post Office Square, which even a bit after the usual lunch-time rush was busy and hectic with all kinds of city folk having a bite to eat. As I found out soon, this was about happy hour – which meant deals were a-steal – and it was one of the friendliest instances for the wallet that could be found. Post Office Square is one of the better food courts that I have eaten at – that is in terms of how it is set out and the throughflow of air (food option wise, it isn’t too bad either – I need to try more of the places first). A lot of the time, it either seems a bit sterile or a little dingy, but always there isn’t a whole lot of atmosphere or interior to talk about. What it might be coming down to here was the structure in the middle of the food court, in which the engineering has caused the building area to have more of a round shape than the usual rectangular. This also goes to the round structure in the middle, which has a drainage system for times that it rains, and you can see bits of the sky above and the green of the grass. Those are nice touches that really create a world of difference, and it makes eating in Post Office Square not feel as sterile or cramped or like you are in a cage as per usual. Nevertheless, it is as a whole a reason for why Post Office Square is such a nice hangout. The whole way it is structured makes the way the stalls are done a bit different to normal. They don’t really align as much with the rounded walls as they could, and overlap. That makes Sushi Miru, as already implied, a bit more hidden than the rest and not the first one to be noticed with just a simple scan. Looking closer, it was a bit bigger with the benefit of depth, having a good kitchen behind it. The set up was simple, and the counter big enough to have an efficient system for ordering and picking up. We come to here, and it was not really a matter of picking it out decisively but the way it became the place can lead to the service here. For the bare basics that are presented, it does very well. From noticing it a lot, this is the level of service that is readily done from Japanese eateries all across the board – some are better than others without a doubt, but the efficiency and drive are always present in one way or another. As I was standing a couple of meters from the counter, just looking and thinking about this place to eat at, that was quickly decided when the woman at the counter noticed me and beckoned me over. It was a combination of it being happy hour, but also coming close to closing time. Some items were available, some weren’t. From the offer the counter lady had, obviously the range of sushi is the go-to choice for a lot of the clients, but to me – it was something hot that I desired and, as the usual phenomena was going, some sort of fried chicken was going to do the trick. Enter the reliable chicken katsu curry. Getting back to the service, it was not too bad. I take it for what it is being in the food court, however that didn’t stop the lady from being pretty good and slick. It was quick, she knew what was available and before I knew it there was the meal being ordered. The waiting part was a little long in one area, but nothing too bad and the utensils are all there to collect. Now we come to the menu. The primary one is the good range of sushi rolls which they have. It is more or less the usual kinds, some basics, a few ones which crumbed meats, decent vegetarian range et al – stock standard, you get what you get. The other major part of it is the donburi meals. It has the general selection there, with a bit of something for everybody – the classics, ones for those watching their diet, and a couple of noodle dishes. Add on a few different snacks and that to the side, and it is the general Japanese fast food. Well, it was the chicken curry that I was going to get – since it was already spoiled a couple of paragraphs ago. Wanting to get a little more something on the side so it could get a decent review from me, I went through a couple of options and came out with a miso soup on the side. The chicken curry was nice, with the usual spicy gravy being thick and delicious, a decent cut of chicken that was tender and well cooked along with a nice crumb, plus good steamed rice. Oddly, the sauce to rice ratio had a lot more sauce than rice – that is a first to me. Also, for the a-steal price it was a satisfying serving. The miso soup was miso soup; a touch I liked here was it being served in a coffee cup. Ever since seeing that in Melbourne many years back, I thought it was quite apt. Still do. And that was a decent feed for between times. So take it as it is. Sushi Miru is basically like many other takeaways that are in the nearby city area, selling sushi and a few popular Japanese meals for both a low price and with speedy service. Stepping back to think about it, it is almost like a fast food place (think of any name) where you more or less know what you are going to get, it is often pretty consistent in quality and good for something when you are on the run. Just think of it like that, and it is all good.
