Kai on King, Newtown

There's few things I need in this life to make me happy.  Actually that's a big fat blatant lie.  I need loads of things keep my happy like The Boy, books, The BFF, Big Sister, Niecey Poo, movies, balcony gardening, eating out, Foxtel IQ, mandarins, friends, cats, loads of holidays, more cats, Menya Mappen (and now Hana Hana), my camera, comfortable "eating pants" and of course a decent sushi train within walking distance of my work.

Kai on King is just a quick waddle down King Street and I find myself there quite frequently for a quick lunchtime feed.  It's a nice walk and it makes me happy that I have something pretty healthy not too far from the cubicle farm where I work.

Kai on King has a pretty decent selection of sushi to choose from. They seem to be fairly popular so there are always fresh plates of sushi being added to the merry-go-round of happiness.  My favourites are the little cooked tuna + avocado roll and the soft shell crab roll (YUM).  The avocado roll with edamame is something I've not seen anywhere else before (it's great).

The pumpkin tempura roll is also something I've not seen before and it's another great little option.  And of course who can go past delicious Takoyaki (Octopus Balls) - not me, that's for sure.

They have a weekday lunchtime special on at the moment - but 5 plates get the cheapest one for free - weeeeee!

Kai on King is at 129 King Street,  Newtown.
