Sushi Raft

Train wasn't going (I assume for covid) but you could order dishes which were then all made fresh, as if you were doing the train ($3.90 a plate). Enjoyed all things we ordered, several different sushi, gyoza, karage, scallops. Karage plate seemed a little expensive for 2 pieces, all other dishes seemed well priced. Could fill yourself up for $10-15 per person but we kept going to try more things, still left spending $36 for 2 people dinner and coke.

Well priced, fresh food, quick to order - maybe 8 minutes for the big feast we had - and friendly service. Between two people for $40 we had pork gyoza, chicken teriyaki rolls, tuna rolls, croquettes, gyoza, aburi marbled beef, salmon, cream cheese and avocado rolls and a karaage chicken donburi. At $20 a head, we couldn't fault it. Outstanding, keep up the good work guys.

Sushi raft is an ok sushi restaurant by Australian standards. I came for lunch on Saturday. The prices are ok ($3.90 for most plates and not $3.50 a plate mentioned in a review a year ago) and I enjoyed eating the items I ordered. The sushi train was not running. Fresh tuna was on the menu but none was in stock when I visited (lots of tinned tuna which isn't really proper sushi at all). I had to ask twice for tap water but the single waitress was run off her feet. There is no screen or app to send orders. If I lived in the local area, I probably would return as there probably aren't many better options nearby. If you want a better sushi experience in Cairns for a similar price, I would recommend North Cairns Sushi Train instead.
