sushi sushi @ Melbourne Central and movies at Kino Cinemas.

I went to Sushi Sushi with my friend from the country. She was down in Melbourne for the weekend and we wanted to see a movie and have lunch. We went for a coffee at Hudsons and it was the same as before
1) Sushi Sushi- Ground level Melbourne Central.
Here this is a shop only selling sushi. This is a cash only place. It was really busy today, but did not excuse the rudeness and the crappy behaviour of our server. She was asian, young and her black hair was tied back and in a cap. Our server should have smiled and be really friendly and accomodating. I gave her the buy one get one free voucher for a salmon sushi box and it clearly explained it on there. When I asked for two salmon sushi boxes and one inari box she was a bit confused. We may have confused her a little bit, but that does not equate to not GIVING ME the other salmon box and instead making the inari box free. Also I should have been charged for the inari box seeing as we're paying customers. The rules and the deal in the Entertainment book clearly states this.
A tip to her: next time you serve someone and they wanted an extra box don't give them a look or be cross with them to give the impression that I just peed on your lawn.


Some of the sushi was not bad. I liked the inari sushi the most. The least one that I liked was the salmon sushi, this was really badly executed and the sushi fell apart.
The hand roll was a let down.... it was really squashed and horribly bad.
I will give this place the flick as there are much better and much cheaper sushi places out there. Go to Diane's sushi, you'll like this better than in here.

2) Kino cinemas.
45 Collins st
Melbourne 3000
Here this place is located in an open area shopping centre in between ANZ and Telstra building. It was a bit hard to locate, but eventually we saw the sign.
Although this cinema is small, it is actually owned by Palace Cinemas. There is one in Westgarth, Balwyn and Brighton.
Here the place is very comfy, cheap and clean. Unlike Hoyts where they charge you at least $17.00 and don't care about the comfort of their patrons, this place charges $13.00 and they keep the place nice and tidy and warm. Here they sell alcohol unlike Hoyts and Village and some lovely warm, homemade muffins. And they have their cheap movie days on Mondays where student tickets are $7.00. At Hoyts you can only buy alcohol for La Premiere movies.
They host a whole lot of international and local movies, not just the big blockbusters, unlike Hoyts and Village. Right now they are screening some films from the Melbourne International film festival.
The sound and the screen here are much better. Because this is a small cinema and a small theatre it is much easier to concentrate on the movie without all the chatter. And they really do enforce the " please turn your mobile off" and "no talking rule".
Students you should try and visit Kino and experience it for yourselves.
